Oxford County Record,

Martha J. Abbott VS.. Portland & Rum
ford Falls Railway. Rescript (No
opinion.) Rescript by Strout, J.
This cause is before the law court
upon a motion to set aside a verdict for
the plaintiff as against evidence, and
Il like motion based upon newly dis
covered evidence.
The issue was whether the plaintiff s
buildings were set on fire by sparks
from a locomotive of the defendant.
Upon the general motion:
The evidence tending to sustain the
contention of the plaintiff was circum-
stantial. but it was sufficient to author
ize the jury to find in her favor We
are not disposed to disturb a verdict
where the evidence is closely balanced,
even if we might come to a different
conclusion. The jury is the author
lied tribunal to find the facts, and I'M
less their finding is clearly against
the evidence, it is beyond our province
to set it aside.
Upon the motion on the ground of
newly discovered evidence:
Much of this evidence is cumulative
and we are not impressed with its
weight as likely to produce different
result if it had been introduced at the
trial. One of the witnesses was Car
roll D. Fogg, who says that Mrs. Arris,
who had been a witness at the trial
and was living in the house that was
burned, told him that the fire caught
round that old chimney and that she
also said she had had no fire in the
stove after II o'clock, the fire &C.
Cured at about 200 or 2.3O in the after
noon. Mrs. Arris says she did not
make any such statement, and that she
was not at the house when it took fire
Such statement. if made by her, was
nothing more than her opinion, anC
wu;:l" rot be admissible. No facts
| are gwen upon which to base it.
So ,Euch of the newly discovered evil
dence as would be admissible fails t.
impress us as likely to change the YER
| dict. if presented to the jury; and We
| are rot prepared to say that it ough
| to do so, nor can we say that the dam
ages are excessive. ts.n
Both motions overruled.

That the several American medicinal
roots, the concentrated glyceric extracts
of which make up DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, have the strongest
kind of endorsement by scores of lead
ing medical writers of all the several
schools of practice, brief glance at
the standard works on Materia Medica
will show. OF Golden Seal root, which
Is one of the prominent ingredients OF
rGolden Medical Discovery, "D DR.. Roberts
Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical Col
lege, says: "Very useful as a stom-
achio (stomach) tonic and in atomic
dyspepsia. Cures gastric (stomach)
catarrh and headaches accompanying
same" He also mentions catarrh OF
the gall duct, jaundice and constipa-
ton as diseases which the use of
Golden Seal root overcomes; also
catarrh of the intestines, even when
it has proceeded to liberation, is
remarkably benefited by Hydrastis
Golden Seal root).
DR.. Grover Coe, of New York, says:
uHydrastis Golden Seal root exer-
ciees an especial influence over mu-
cous surfaces. Upon the liver it
acts with equal certainty and eff
ticacy. As a cholagogue oliver invig-
orator. it has few equals" DR.. Coe
also advises it for affections of the
spleen and other abdominal viscera
generally, and for scrofulous and gland
ular diseases, cutaneOus eruptions, in
digestion, debility, chronic diarrhea,
constipation, also in several affections
peculiar to women, and in all chronic
arrangements of the liver; also for
chronic Inflammation of bladder, for
which DR.. Coe says Mt is one OF the
most reliable agents of cure"
Prof. Hobart A. Hare, NJ. D., of the
University OF Pa, says of Golden Seal
root that It is wof service in chronic
catarrh of the stomach and bowels,
following abuse of alcohol, and as a
tonic after malarial fever" He further
says, it "has distinct anti-malarial
influence" Also good in all catarrhal
conditions, as uterine catarrh, leucor-
rhoea, ETC., and as "a curative agent in
chronic dyspepsia"
Prof. Laurence johnson, NJ. D., of
the Medical Department., University
City of N. Y, is equally loud in his
praise of Golden Seal root, especially
for its tonic effects in convalescence
from acute diseases and its special
tonic influence upon mucous surfaces
and upon the gall bladder.
Doctors Barton and Tully recon-
mended Golden Seal root as a pure
tonic and as an Alternative in dis
eased conditions of the mucous mem
branes.
Prof. John King, NJ. D., late of Gin
cinnati, author of the AMERICAN DIS
PENsAToRY, gives it a prominent place
among medicinal agents, reiterates all
the foregoing writer's have said about
it, as does also Prof. John NJ. Scudder,
M. D., late of Cincinnati. DR.. Scud-
der says: "It stimulates the digestive
processes and increases the assimilation
of food: BY these means the blood IS
enriched, the consequent
improvement on the glandular and
nervous systems are natural results"
DR.. Scudder further says, yin relation
to its general effect upon the system,
there is no medicine in use about ,Chich
there is such general unanimity of
opinion. 1t is universally regarded as
the tonic, useful in all debilitated
states ~"
