which she is alleged to have received
from Jack Wilson and papers upon
which were pasted SCRAPS of torn up
letters.
Il never wrote such letters to Mr..
Wilson nor did he write such to me, !"

evidently cunning enough to paste to-
gether innocent pieces of letters with
others that were manufactured so as
to produce incrimnating letters"
A woman who lived near to a cottage
OH the breakwater at San Pedro where
Mrs. Lewis spent several weeks during
the absence of her husband, said she
had read letters addressed to Mrs.
Lewis written by Mr.. Wilson and that
they were all friendly and respectful
and such as any one might read.
This witness said that Mrs. Lewis
had always been a good woman as far
as she knew and she scored the de-
fendant for his treatment of his wife.
Cross examination brought out some
sensational testimony and several other
witnesses will be called by the defense
this morning to attempt to prove al
legged acts of indscretion on the part of
the wife.

GUS that only the briefest and most inn.
perfect references can be presented in q

Briefly then let US say that the
UGolden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root of which enters
largely into its composition. Besides
this most valuable ingredient, IL con-
tains glyceric extracts of Stone root,
Queen s root, Black Cherrybark, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Ellingwood, M. D., an emin-
ent practitioner OF Chicago and Profess
sor of Mdterid Msdtcd in the Bennett
Medical College of that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, says of Golden Seal root: ut is

Many other authorities as we'll as DR..

eases of the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder. Among these, we may
mention Prof. John King, NJ. D., author
of the American Dispensatory; Prof.

mann Med. College of Chicago; Grove,
Coe, M. D., of New York, in his Tor.

ferson Med. College and scores of other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues of Golden
Seal in cases of stomach, liver and in
testinal weakness, torpor and liberation
of bowels. DR.. Ellingwood recommends
it most highly, rIn those cases of atomic

But to return to the "Golden Medical
Discovery" it may be said that it's cur
ative properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is,
as other equally potant ingredients add
greatly to its value and in fact are not
less important than the Hydrsstis, or
Golden Seal.
In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root, each plays as important part
in effecting the phenominal cures OF
~Golden Medical Discovery" as does
Golden Seal. All these ingredients
have the endorsement of prominent
practitioners of all schools OF medicine
for the cure of diseases of the bronchia,

ASSYR|AN TIRES
Of ENGLISH WIFE
ORIENTAL CURIO DEALER Is
GIVEN DIVORCE
Troubles of the Couple as Related in
Court Include Differences in
Many Cities in United
States

Charging his wife with having
squandered his money on the races,
called him all the vile names in the
calender, referred to his people as
swindlers and thieves and finally with
having driven his customers away by
making remarks about the American
people in general and his customers in
particular, j. Sasso Abouaron, an As
syrian curio dealer, yesterday brought
suit for divorce against his wife, Emma
Clara Sasso Abouaron. before Judge
York in department three of the su-
perior court.
The couple were married in Man
chester, England, May Q, 1890 The
groom was an oriental and his wife
an English girl. Abouaron's business
was following the fairs around the
world, selling and trading in eastern
silk stuffs and curios and in this way
the cause for his action of divorce en-
braced incidents happening in nearly
every prominent city of the United
| States
According to the orientals state
ments on the stand yesterday, his first
serious trouble with his wife occurred
| in Buffalo, n. Y, during the Pan
American exposition there. At that
time Abouaron alleges his wife stole
$500 from him and spent the money
in hilarious living.
Trouble at Charleston
From Buffalo the couple went to
Charleston to the West Indian exposi-
| tion there and Abouaron alleges his
wife took nearly all his money and bet
| 1T on the races at Charleston.
AT Coney Island the woman is alleged
| to have taken more of her husband :
/ money and gone on a spree of hilarious
] living. At st. Louis during the world S
! fair there the same thing Is alleged
| to have occurred and then the couple
moved to Los Angeles to wait for some
coast fair to begin.
Ascot, however, proved the woman $
downfall, according to the statements
OF the husband yesterday. He testified
| that his wife demanded money from
! him last November in order that she
might bet on the horses at Ascot park
and that when he refused to give her
money, she said she would ruin his
business.
This she is alleged to have done by
| sitting in his store at 41O West Seventh
street and calling him a tramp, a
sheeny bum and "a swindler Whenever
any customers entered. She was further
alleged to have stated in loud terms
in the presence of customers that the
Americans and orientals were swindlers
and cheaters and not fit for an English
man to wipe his feet on. These state
ments are alleged to have caused trade
to diminish and the husband filed the
suit for divorce.
The case went by default and the de-
cree was granted.
