He said that he did not know what 1t contained but to give it trial We dld, and 1t worked like charm Now my wife will not be without it and the baby has not had a bad case with his bowels since we began using it.
 You know how parents are about the baby. We watch him and if any trouble is indicated Brooks Baby Bowel Balm is put into service prompt y and it has not failed to keep him straight so far

evening dress, with silk hat and cane,

celles, alias ttLord Douglas" alias
"Lord Beresford," alias Charles j.
Asquith, was sent to Washington, ID.
c., consigned to DR.. Mcpherson
Chrichton, to be burned in the crema-
tory at that city. The body was
claimed and identified by a Mrs. J.
T. Summerfeld of New Jersey, who
said that she was the sister-inlaw
of the deceased first wife, now living
at Baltimore. She made affidavit to
that effect and by her order the
mummy was shipped to Washington.
Great mystery shrouds the life and
career of this bogus Lord. 1t is
said that he had sixteen living wives.
In Georgia he served q long penitenti-
airy term for bigamy. He was a noted
forger and swindler, and operated
among the wealthy class in several
Southern states. He went to Ashe-
vile from Texas. He married an
Asheville lady several years ago, who
disappeared completely after he de-
serted her. She has not been heard
Of since. Mystery surrounds those
who were behind the removal of his
body. Their identity is a secret. In
the letters to the undertaken through
her. sister-in-law, Mrs. Symmetrical,
wife No. l, speaks ~endearingly of the
great Lothario. She writes, "He had
the voice of a Parsifal and the elo-
quence and charm of a Disraeli, and
his influence over women was won
derful."
