suing their way because of love Of

RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION

The increased use Of "Toris" for
rheumatism Is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t is an almost infaIlible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce Of Toris Compound and one
ounce OF Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take In tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"
Toris compound Is q product Of the
laboratories Of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Chicago. but 1t as we'll as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.

cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven

when about two and a half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts Of her legs with a
very Irritating and painful eruption. 1t
began in October; the first / noticed
was a little red surface and a constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
OF them. l had two doctors treat her.
but she grew worse under their treat
ment. Then l bought the Cuticura
Remedies and only used them two
weeks when she was entirely well.
This was in February. She has never
had another rough place on her skin,
and she is now fourteen years old.

ROBERTSON GIVEN
DEATH SENTENCE
Famous RusseIIvi'e Murder
Case Comes to An End
TO HANG DECEMBER IS
Prisoner, Convicted of Numbering Wife
and Mother-in-Law, Says He
Is Ready to Pay Penalty
for His Crime.

Russellville. November 15.-(Special)
I'VE, the jury. find the defendant guilty
as charged in the Indictment, and fix
his punishment at DEATH This was
the verdict uttered into the ears of
Tom Robertson, who, on October 80,
last, shot and instantly killed his wife,
Mrs. Mamie Robertson, and his mother
in-law, Mrs. J. A. Clark.
Without a tremor and with storic
that said that he deliberately and with
generalization murdered his wife, and
that he should expatiate his crime on
the gallows.
When asked by Judge Aston if he
had anything to say as to why SEN
tence should not be passed upon him
Robertson sat unmoved and uncon-
cerned and with clear voice and dis
tinct words Judge Aston sentenced
him to be hanged on Friday, Decembe
Is.
When Robertson had passed out of
the court room in the custody of the
sheriff and deputies he remarked that
until December Is was too long for
him to live.
Only one time during the trial did
Robertson show much emotion and he
remarked to Sheriff Lowery when he
was captured that he knew he would
be hanged for his crime and was ready
to meet any punishment inflicted by
his fellow citizens.
The jury was out for over SO hours
and was called in at $3.50 o'clock this
morning and asked as to the probable
ity of a verdict, and was then sent
back to the jury room for further de-
liberia tons.
The crime for which Robertson is to
pay the death penalty was one of TIE
most atrocious that has ever occurred
In Frankling county. Slipping to one
side of the house, when j. W. Clark
was coming toward the house from the
other direction and as he had started
into the house, Robertson fired upon
Clerk, the load entering one arm. Then
Roberson's wife came to the door, and
with careful aim her husband shot her
dead Mrs. Clark, Roberson's mother
in-law, came to the door with an au-
tomato pistol and the man shot her
dead and took the pistol. After shoot
ing at Mr.. Clark one or two more times
Robertson started to leave and, upon
seeing ]. Gaisser and a Mr.. Hollings-
worth approaching, Robertson shot at
them with the pistol. barely missing
tn en-.
Robertson was tried for the murder
of his wife only. The trial and con-
viction Of Robertson establishes new
record for the prompt handling of a
criminal case. He was indicted tn e
next week, tried on the Friday and
Saturday of the week following, con-
victed and sentenced, and should his
execution take place on schedule time,
he will have paid the full penalty i'm
posed by any court in one month and
a half.
A pitiful spectacle of the trial was
the appearance of Clark, strapped and
bandaged, to testify against the MUIR
derer Of his own wife and daughter.

DRS. DOZIER & DOZIER
For score of years DIR. Grin T.
Dozier has been established at Birming-.
ham as the leading specialist in the treat
ment of certain diseases in the south
specialist does not practice as a gen.
eral physician, answering all calls and
assuming to cure all diseases. Though
qualified and educated as SUCH they de-
vote their study and skill and practice to
specific diseases and thereby become ex-
pert in the treatment, able to render SER
vice beyond the power of the general
physician.
Hence people afflicted with various
chronic diseases invariably, even by the
advice Of the family physician. resort
to the specialists
DR.. Dozier has been remarkably sue
cessful in his practice. He has built up
probably the best patronage in the south
in this line His record shows thou
sands treated and thousands restored to
health
DR.. Byron Dozier, of the firm, a son of
Dr. o. T. Dozier has been especially
educated in the leading medical institu-
lions and hospitals of this country with
direct view to the sphere he now fills,
to the skilled service he now renders. For
young physician, though now with near
ly decade of practice, he has no SUI
perior. The Drs Dozier are not welded
to any special cult. They are eclectric
in their views and practice. They utilize
methods of treatment to cure, it matters
not what clinic or source of medical
practice or Jurisprudence they may be
claimed. Their mission is to cure, to
store to health and the means which
they have found will best secure this end
they utilize.
A visit to their offices and laboratories
will convince the most skeptical of their
ability to render successful service The
possession and centering in them of all
the appliances, magnetic, electrical, me-
chanical, surgical and pharmacopeal. for
the treatment and cure of diseases carries
with 1t the conviction of q large sue
cessful practice.
