Fraudulent Remedies for

ment of scalp tones and hair-restorers
Is their smell. and the next powerful
Is their color. Most of them are
frauds, pure and simple, and produce
no erect whatever except upon the
imagination and the nostrils of the
users. The most common constituent
OF them all is alcohol, and the next
common probably ammonia or some
aromatic Oil or extract which has the
double advantage of a powerful odor
and of producing a mild sense OF
warmth and local irritation. All OF

Al! Of the foregoing citations indicate
that coroners are empowered to act in
their respective counties only. and we
find but one instance where. in GER
tain emergencies. they are authorized
to act outside of their counties.
Section 68 Of Chapter S2, Revised
Statues, provides that sheriffs. coro-
ners and constables may act in other
counties than those in which they are
elected or commissioned in certain
cases. The cases in which coroners
may so act are, first. in pursuing an
accused person who has committed an
offence in his county; second. in ar
resting a person to be committed to
nis own county Jail. though it may be
necessary to pass with his prisoner
through other counties.
by specifically stating in what
emergencies coroners might act outside
of their counties it must be the conclu-
soin that the Legislature meant in all
other cases to prohibit them from so
acting.
