Popular Cures.

A young person who earns a fair living by dangling nightly from a trapeze bar located just under the roof of a circus tent has written an en- thusiastic health testimonial for her stunt" She declares that it will keep everyone in perfect health and urges all who suffer from those ills to which flesh Is heir to try the flying leap" the triple swing and the complete pi- routte." Tn it's present crude form, of course, her "cure" will not make a popular appeal but it would not be at all remarkable if some astute individ- ual should read possibilities in it and
 under a Greek or Latin name. should present it to the world as a new health cult, perhaps a new school of medicine.
 For in this age when everything seems to go, nothing goes quite so well as that which promises the guile less public health and long life. Even the new religions to prove popular have to have a health article in their creed. Methods of healing unknown yesterday are today petitioning legis- latures for recognition. Like mush- rooms. new cures spring up in a sin gle night. And in their methods they present an infinite variety. Yesterday dids you walk forth in the cold gray dawn, barefooted and hatless? To- morrow, if you are impressionable and wish to keep abreast of the times and to take advantage of all that is of- fered, you may be persuaded that any

Doctor BTiglan Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
lydia E. PfnkE1aE71IS
 Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of wOmankin0 is not be- cause it is a stimulant. not because it is a palliative. but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and recon structor ever discovered to act directly upon the generative organs, positively curing disease and restoring health and vigor.
 Marvellous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and arc fair enough to give credit where it is due.
 If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of themwould acknowl- edge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience it can be re- lied upon to effect a cure. The follow ing letter proves it.
 Dr. s. c. Brigham, of Brigham Park. Fitchburg Mass, writes
 a It gives me great pleasure to say that I have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound very efficacious, and often pre- scribe it in my practice for female difficulties
 My oldest daughter found it very benefi- ciAl for uterine trouble some time ago. and my youngest daughter is now taking it for a fe- male weakness, and is surely gaining in health and strength.
 ''I freely advocate it as a most reliable spe- cific in all diseases to which women are sub ject, and give it honest endorsement"
 Women who are troubled with pain full or irregular menstruation, bloating Cor fiatulence), ieucorrhoa, falling, in- fammation or alteration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that bearing-down feeling dizziness, faintness, indiges- tion, nervous prostratiOn or the blues. should take immediate action to ward off the serious consequences, and be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound, and then write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn. Mass, for further free advice. No living person has had the benefit of a wider experience in treating female ills. She has guided thousands to health. Every suffering woman should ask. for and follow her advice if she wants to be strong and well.

No lone hundred citizens" knew any thing about it.
 If Dr. Hughes connived at the send ing of that infamous and lying tele- gram he deserves to be spat upon by every respectable man and woman in Phoenix. If r. T. Powers the so-called democratic candidate for mayor. con- nived at the sending of that infamous and lying telegram, he deserves lasting infamy, and he will be defeated next Tuesday by an avalanche of ballots cast by the indignant and self-respect- ing citizens of this town.
 It is an infamous lie to say that the republicans of this town are gamblers or are in sympathy with the business of gambling; but let that go.
 The people of Phoenix, irrespective of party, are proud of their governor. He has lived here for twenty years. and his life has been an open book. He has had about as much utilization with the gambling business as has the pastor of any church. If Dr. Hughes has lived as upright a life there are many of his fellow citizens who would be glad to have the proofs. Above all. the people of this town, regardless of party, are proud of Phoenix and of her good more damnable insult was ever offered to any community.

 It is to laugh and therein l'as tha value of these cures" The majority of them are harmless. Some of them do a real and lasting good by working on the imagination of the patient and persuading her or him that good health has really been attained. One does not have to be a devotee of any of those health cults to believe that faith cures many maladies and aids in all recov- cries. The fanatics. of course, are fre- quently harmed but if these were not harmed by a popular cure they would be harmed by some thing else. The fanatic is foredoomed. For the majority of those who accept them. there is little danger for they are not apt to cut loose entirely from the family physician and even in the high tide of their enthusiasm they sel- dom scoff at the exact science of sur gery.

membered, was assassinated in the street when he was at the point of granting the Russians some measure of liberty. The revolutionists have asserted that the czar was assassinat- ed by an agent employed by the reac- tionary aristocracy. The Emperor Paul was chol1ed to death by his own officers a little more than a hundred years ago, and previous to the enact ment of this tragedy, every foreign European court was filled with rumors of his eccentrlcities. Peter III also was done away with.
 The czar. if reports ara true, is spending much time in prayer before his sacred images. or ikons No ob- jections can reasonably be urged against feTvent prayer in times of ex- treme distress but there is a time for valiant. determined acton .n tho in- terest of what is right. and that time seems to have arrived for the czar. Only those who are determined to do right can hope to have their prayers answered. Just at present the Rus sian nation Is clamoring for liberty and human rights, and it's prayers will be heard by Him before whom rulers too have to give final account.

The State of the Czar.

The rumors from St. Petersburg to the effect that the czar is becoming demented are rather om.nous. If it were true that the unfortunate ruler is showing signs of mania, the fact would be concealed as long as possible. unless some one were interested in giving publicity to the rumor. Witness how carefully bulletins regarding the health of rulers are worded in times of sickness. and how optimistic re- ports are to the last. The very fact that rumors concerning the czar's mental condition are permitted to es- cape from the secret retreat of the em- to the suspicion that a conspiracy is on foot, perhaps to depose him, on the pretext that he is insane. or to kill him and let the world believe that he committed suicide. Those who know the czar represent him as weak both in body and mind. and 1t would there fore not be surprising to learn that both were suffering during the present strain, but that would not be publish ed to the world. except for special reasons.

Insane Persons as Witnesses.

The New York Tribune reports the details of a remarkable case that was tried the other day In the criminal court of Newark, New Jersey The trial was of certain attendants of the New Jersey insane asylum for the murder of patient. A verdict of ac- quittal was rendered, but the feature that made the trial noteworthy was the fact that insane persons were per mitted to testify. Naturally the case is attracting unusual attention among lawyers and alienists. It was proba- bly, the only case on record where the prosecution relied practically altogeth- CT on the testimony of insane persons to substantiate an indictment on a capital charge.
 The defendants, five in number, were attendants at the Essex county insane asylum, and it was charged that they had done to death Patrick Corrigan, one of the inmates. a violent fellow. Without warning he attacked one of the attendants, stabbing him with q fork and when another attendant came to the rescue Corrigan bit off one of his ears. Other help was sum moned. and after a terrific struggle Corrigan was put in a straitjacket. He died a few hours later. Three in sane patients testified that after Cor rigan had been rendered helpless he was beaten literally into a pulp by a haF Fr ,F .F the attendants. Though these wit nesses were admittedly not fit to be at large, they made surprisingly good witnesses. and all the lawyers tests failed to shake or confuse them. The result shows. however, that the jury placed little faith in their stories. for the verdict of acquittal was reached with remarkable promptitude. in view of the numerous points involved.
 There has been in some quarters for permitting the patients to testify in spite of the protests of the coun- sel for the defendants. It is difficult however. to see how he could well have done otherwise. Here was a public institution where one of the inmates had been beaten to death. The grand jury had what it considered prima facie evidence sufficient to put five of the attendants on trial for their lives. The interests of justice demanded thorough and exhaustive investigation, and without the testimony of the pa tients that would have been impossi- ble. It was for the petit jury to say how much weight should be given to this testimony, and also to that of the defendants and the medical experts on both sides. The opinion of the jury was made emphatic by the unanimous agreement. in less than two hours. to declare the defendants not guilty.
