THE NORMAN "oYEZ."
A Legacy Of William the conqueror to
the Courts.

A Legacy Of William the conqueror to
the Courts.
Everybody who has ever been in a
United States courtroom knows that
when the Judge walks out of his cham
bers and ascends the bench the court
crier drones out:
Oyez. oyez. Oyer, the honorable court
of the whatever district it may be- is
now in session"
Not MANY persons, however, realize
that the crier says ''oyez. oyez, oyez,"
instead of "harken, harken, harken."
because Of a chance visit that William
the Conqueror made to an English
court almost 900 years ago.
William had overrun England, seized
the government and placed himself at
its head Happening to enter a court.
room, he heard the crier call the as.
semblage to order i'm English. William
rebuked him and on the spot decreed
that the business Of all English courts
should be transacted in Norman
French. his native tongue. Afterward
the courts went back to English, but to
this day "oyez oyez. Oyer" clings to
court customs wherever the English
language is spoken as a reminder Of
the great Norman who whipped King
Harold in the battle Of Hastings

Tells How To Perpare A Simple
Mixture To Overcome
Disease.

To relieve worst forms OF Rheuma-
tism, take teaspoonful of the following
mixture after each meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them well
in a bottle Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged-
up. inactive kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid. which causes
Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
ufferers here at home, who should a
once prepare the mixture to get this re-
lief
1t is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly, dose
OF two daily,or even few times week,
would never have serious Kidney or
Urinary disorders or Rheumatism.
Cut this out ard preserve it, Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which really
relieve are scarce, indeed, aud when
you need it, you want it badly.
