A WONDERFUL DISCOV-
cry.

This is the age OF research and experiment,
when all nature to speak, is ransacked by
the scientific for the comfort and happiness of
man. Science has indeed made giant strides
during the past century, and among the-by
no means least OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in medi-
cine comes that of THERAPION.
This preparation is unquestionably one of
the most genuine and rei1able Patent Medi.
eines ever introduced, and has, we understand,
been used in the Continental Hospitals by
Ricord. Rostan, Jobert, Vepeau, Maisonneuve,
the well-known Chassaignac and indeed by all
who regarded authorities in such mat
ters, including the celebrated Lallemand, and
tormly adopted, and that it is worthy the at
tenton OF those who require such remedy we
think there is doubt. From the time of
Aristotle downWards, a potent agent in the re-
moval of these diseases has (ike the famed
philosophers stone) been the object of search
Of some hopeful, generous minds; and far be-
yond the mere power-if such could ever have
been discovered-of transmitting the baser
metals into gold is surely the discovery of a
remedy potent to replenish the failing
energies in the one case, and in the other so
effectually speedily and safely to expel from
the system the poisons of acquired or inherited
disease in all their protean forms to leave
no faint or trace behind Such is the New
French Remedy THERA PION, which may GER
tainly rank with, if not take precedence of,
MANY of the discoveries of day, about
which little ostentation and noise have been
made, and the extensive and ever-increasing
demand that has been created for this medi.

those questionable remedies that were formerly

THE GOVERNORS DECLARATION

The declaration of purpose adopted
by the Conference of Governors at
Washington in May is to be copper,
plate engraved on vellum and enough
copies struck of: to give one to each
of the ffty-four governors who took
part. Then a secretary of the confer,
ence is to take these fifty-four copies
and go to each Governor with them
and get his signature to the whole
ifty-four. Then one is to be given to
each.
After these large number of copies
on a different paper, with fac-simile
signatures are TO be struck off to be
framed and exhibited in schoolhouses
and postoffices, and other places where
it may be an incentive to patriotism,
and better appreciation of the need
of conserving the country's resources.
Governor Frear has received a copy
of the declaration as it viii appear in

POLICE COURT SAT
IN PAkE HUI HALL

The police court held a part of its
session yesterday morning in Chinese
society hall on Beretania avenue
Judge Andrade adjourning to there in
order to take the evidence of a China
man with a fractured leg. The frac-
ture was the result of a collision be-
tween the Chinaman and the automo.
bile of FL. W. Chase some weeks ago,
Chase being on trial yesterday for furi-
Gus and needless driving.
AS it would be some weeks yet be.
fore the victim of the juggernaut could
appear in court TO testify and as it was
desired to get the case of the way, the
visit by the court to the joss house
was made. As a result Chase was
found guilty and fined $50 and costs.
1t is likely that the Chinaman will
bring civil action for damages.
DR.. Pottie, who had been arrested for
driving buggy after dark without "a
light on Thursday and who had been
released to appear for trial ON his own
recogn1zance, failed to make good yes
terday, being nowhere in sight when
his case was called. 1t was up to the
Judge to declare him in contempt and
issue a bench warrant If he wanted to,
but he preferred to continue the case
until today and give the forgetful
veterinary another chance.
He was less lenient with two Japa-
nese witnesses, who were wanted in an
assault and battery case against Koike.
The japanese failed to show up, where
upon an officer was sent after them,
and in spite of their plea that they
had both oversight, fine of SIS each
for contempt was passed. Koike, the
| defendant, who had broken a broom
handle over the head of a japanese.
was fined $40 and costs.
