wonderful Plant Juice this marvel of the medical world"
 At the close of the lecture dozens crowded around the speaker to shake his hand and express their deep gratitude for what his remedies had done for them, and their pleasure in meeting the colonel.
 MT. Earnest Callingham, a prominent man of this district, said: Colonel, 1 have had a dull heavy headache. My head was almost stopped up and the nasal passage lnlamed and sore. The mucus would drop in my throat and l would cough up great chunks of phlegm. 1 felt bad all the time. 1 have taken two bot ties of your S1 size Plant Juice and l feel like new man. The headaches are all gone; my head Is clear and l am feel ing better and stronger in every way"
 Charlie Hall says: T have been in bad health for years and concluded l would have to give up work My kidneys and stomach were in a terrible condition. My back was very lame and weak and my stomach did not seem to digest the food that I ate; causing the food to sour and ferment on my stomach causing gases, bloating of the stomach, palpitation of the heart, belching of gas and wind and sour stomach, often being very dizzy and giddy- headed and also suffered with chronic constipation. 1 took Colonel Dill linghams Plant Juice, paying s1 per bot tie for same, and after taking it according to directions a few days found that 1t had expelled from my stomach an enor- nous tape worm 72 feet long, head and all, and now I feel like n new man.

In spite of other strong counter attrac- lions, hundreds thronged the court house square last evening to listen to a most eloquent and remarkable lecture on ca tarrh.
 Colonel Dillingham; is feeling the effect of the enormous strain he has been un- der since leaving Jacksonville, Fla, but his words left a deep impression upon his hearers, who listened with intense in- terest to his explanation of catarrhal poison and it's effects upon the human system. The lecturer declared that fully 75 per cent of the people of this climate were afflicted with catarrh in some of it's various forms.
 Thousands of men and women have filled untimely graves, victims of ca tarrhal poison, who never knew they were suffering from this terrible disease. In vivid terms he explained how consti- patton and colds filled the blood with ca tarrhal virus, the membranes of the usual cavities and air passage became inflated. Followed by ulceration, the poison mucous dropped into the throat, the lungs be- came afflicted: and where there should be health, strength and vigor, came weak ness, consumption, wasting disease and early decay, because there was not suffi- cient vitality in the impoverished system to resist the poison.
 Stepping to the front of the platform, with head reverently barred. while one hand held aloft bottle of Dillinghams Plant Juice, the speaker said: 'I thank God that 1 can come before you tonight and tell you that remedy has been dis covered that is a positive and permanent constitutional treatment and cure for ca tarrh in all it's forms.
 TT am not in the need of money I have enough and to spare. for the years that 1 am yet to live, but I have left luxurious home and all the comforts that wealth can bring and have come out among you suffering people to tell you that you need suffer no more of catarrhal poisoning and its resultant diseases because of this

 When the Hon. Beverly Tucker, min ister to the court of St. James. was pre- sented to Queen Victoria, she indicated that he be seated, by that slight motion of her. plump hand which all England obeyed. Tucker was portly and heavy. and the only available chair was fragile and small. He appeared not to notice the invitation. A moment later it was re- peated for even at that first interview be- gan the Queens liking for Minister Tucker which ripened into such an in innate friendship as no other American ever enjoyed with Her Majesty. Still the weakness of things terrestrial was more potent than the finger of Victoria, and Tucker again ignored the command. Then the Queen put it in words. when Tucker, with profound bow, replied:
 Your Majesty. l never sit in the pres ence of royalty
 ''l accept the compliment at your hands, replied the Queen, and now you must accept comfort at mine."
 'Comfort!' exclaimed MT. Tucker Why, l should break both my back and your Majesty's chair if I attempted to sit in it?'

A remarkable instrument was found by the London police on a man who was ar- rested while examining the exteriors of jewellers shops in the east end. It's pur- pose is to cut of the tops of the bolts holding down revolving shutters Looking like a street door lock, it consists of a spanner and steel teeth. Worked by the spanner, these teeth cut through metal with the utmost ease.
