WOULDN'T LET AUTO PASS.
W. ID. warren Of New York Fined SSS For
striking a Chauffeur with q whip.

BosroN, Sept. 22.-William r. Warren,
a wealthy New York manufacturer. with a
summer home in Weston, was fined SIS
in Waltham to-day for an assault with a
whip upon Robert W. Jameson, chauffeur
for ex-Congressman Samuel l.. Powers Of
Newton, in Weston Of June 8. The testi-
mony showed that the Powers party was
riding in an automobile along a,road in
Weston when the defendant and his coach
man in a buggy were o~vertaken. The
auto wished to pass and the chauffeur blew
his horn, but no attention was paid to this
notification to drive to one side.
Then the chauffeur opened the muiier
of the automobile in the expectation that
those in front would allow the auto to pass.
When this proved ~unavailing the auto
mobile speeded up and passed the carriage
where the road was a trife wider. When
the motor car went by Mr.. Warren grabbed
ala whip from the socket and struck the
chauffeur across the head and shoulders.
In giving a reason for his action at the
time Mr.. Warren said that he was exaspe--
ated at the noise made by the automobile.

Catarrhal ailments vary according TO the season OF 'he year, and
it is thus that we have winter, spring, summer and autumn catarrh.
Catarrh Of autumn is likely TO assume a systemic character, that is,
the internal organs OF the whole system become slightly affected, pro-
ducing a condition closely resembling chronic malaria.
Sometimes an epidemic Of catarrhal fever will pervade a locality,
Stimulating Typhoid fever. 1t is sometimes difficult to distinguish
between catarrhal fever and the genuine Typhoid.
A cOngested condition Of the bronchial tubes producing a cough,
with the usual symptoms OF a cold, are frequently associated with
systemic catarrh. A cold o r a cough during the autumn season has
special significance and Peruna should be promptly used according
to the directions TO be found on each bottle. Peruna is not only a
preventive, but a reliable remedy for systemic catarrh.
