the railroad officials and hospital ply
sicians no one was injured.
The New York express, due here at

running faster than usual through the

HARRY THAW is WORRIED BY
LUNACY COMMISSION TALK
Renewed Reports That Jerome Will
7 AXE This Course Defend
ants Mother Is Said to
Have Consented.

New York.-Clifford W. Hartridge,
personal counsel to Harry K. Thaw,
visited the prisoner at the Tombs
Sunday and for an hour the two dis
cussed various matters, among them,
it was said, the possibility that the
prosecution might seek to interrupt
the cross-examination of the defend
ants wife when Thaw's trial is re-
sumed Monday morning.
1t had been recorded, though with
out apparent authority, that District
Attorney Jerome would shift his at
tack on the defense and insist that
the direct examination of Drs. Dee
mar and Bingham, the alienists for
the defense, be concluded before the
state continued it's cross-eXamination
of Mrs. Thaw. This move would be
construed as in the direction of an
application for a lunacy commission
to examine Thaw.
The report is said to have reached
the prisoner and caused him no little
uneasiness. Mr.. Hartridge, however,
was able to assure him that Mrs.
Thaw's examination would be COM
pleted before the defense called other
witnesses. Stipulation to this effect

ndQ DG0n given, the lawyer Sdlu.
That Thaw's fears have some basis
in fact was evidenced in a statement
credited to a court official According
to this man. Mrs. William Thaw,
mother of Harry, two days ago ap-
preached the district attorney through
friends and expressed her willingness
that a commission in lunacy be ap-
pointed. The mothers state of mind,
it was said, was the result of having
read the narrowing story told on the
witness stand by her daughter-in-law,
and the merciless cross-eXamination
by Jerome, combined with the natural
shrinking she felt from taking the
witness stand herself.
1t is understood that Mr.. Jerome, on
his part, wishes to avoid at this time
such drastic. action as asking for a
lunacy commission.

u. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedyP Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients Of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States DispenSatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia (ca-
tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca-
tarrh of the liver and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic organs.
1t is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as stomachic and as
tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient Of
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispen satory as a mild stimulant and
diuretic. It acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. 1t acts as Stimu-
liant on the cenito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
EMERY and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to us for free book of testimo-
mails of what the people think of Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.

Days More of Her Ordeal.
The district attorney will keep Mrs.
Thaw on the stand at least day and
a half more and may even stretch his
searching crOss-examinatiOn through
twice that length of time. 1t will de-
pend upon how Mrs. Thaw feels at
the end of this period as to whether
or not Thaw's counsel will go ahead
with their redirect examination OF
her. Mr.. Delmas has been making
copious notes during Mr.. Jerome's
questioning of the witness, and he
will likely endeavor to place differ
ent light upon some of the incidents
which have been disclosed.
With the cross-examination only
half completed and with the redirect
and recross-examination still in view,
there seems no way to approximate
the number of days in the witness
chair Mrs. Thaw has before her. Ii
she is much fatigued at the end OF
Mr.. Jeromes first cross-eXaminatlon
she may be released for time, SUD-
ject to recall. In view OF the fact,
however, that the defendants counsel
forced the district attorney to pro-
coed with the cross-eXaminatlon
against his will, he will very likely in
sist in return that they shall also con-
clude with the witness before she is
excused from the stand.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
former victim of neuralgia sends TO
those who are still in it's grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others That reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return witn
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
beautiful home at 81 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
my trouble began about six years
ago and I did not rest as / should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After a. time became so
weak l could not do any work at all.
l had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times l saw black
spots before them. I consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were SO intense
that my hair turned white.
81 lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when a friend recommended DR.. Will
1iams' Pink Pills. I tried them ac-
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end of three
months l had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble with
my nerves. l have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
