BUSINESS MEN ENDORSE
 AUTOMOBILE AMBULANCE. Presidents of Board of Trade and Business Mems Association in Favor


 The letter of Waterman R. Burnham. day, presenting the need of an auto mobile ambulance iA this city. has aroused the support of business men for this addition to the hospital ser vice.
 President James c. Macpherson of the Board of Trade writes The Bulletin in it's favor, saying that surely there could not be a more worthy project, and he believes all good citizens will indorse any effort in that direction. In cases of illness or suffering the nat ural impulse of human nature is to render prompt and speedy relief, and what better agency could be suggested in hospital eases than this would prove?
 Cities all about us, he says, have adopted the auto ambulance with first aid attendant. and in many cases it proves a. most important factor in the saving of lives and the lessening of matter may be taken up by someone at no distant date and pushed to it's proper fruition. Our local hospital faithfully fills it's important place in the city's activities and proves a. great CT blessing ever year, and all that we as citizens can do to increase it's eff ciency and simplify it's problems should be done cheerfulIy and with hearts full of gratitude to those whose foresight and benevolenCe laced it in our midst.
 President Frank H. Smith Of the Norwich Business Mems association is also one of those who has lent his cor dial endorsement to the suggestion about the auto ambulance

CcoMMITTAL OF sPADERo GIRL UNIQUE IN LAW.
Sent from Connecticut to Institution in Another State.

Josephine Spadero. the New London girl who took the life of her child while patient at Memorial hospital, and was before the criminal superior court here last week, is now in the Florence Crittenden mission in New York.
 The committal of the girl to an in stitution in another state Is regarded by attorneys interested in the case as being unique. It could only be ac- complished, they say. without the con- sent of parent or guardian. While the decision of Judge Crandall to de- tain the girl there for five years. or until she attains her majority, is made possible in a special legislative act, lawyers find all sorts of possibili- ties that might be attached to the case.
 Miss Spadero will have kind treat men and will be trained in a useful occupation which best suits her and she will acquire an education.
 A peculiarity of the case is that un- der the law governing indeterminate sentences it is possible for Nigrelli, the girls assaiIant, with good behaviour to gain his freedom in one year. Other wise he may have to serve seven years.

 Thousands of Testimonials. As stated in my article last Sun day, there is no class of cases that write me more frequently or more enthusiastically as to the benefits re- ceived from Pe-ru-na than this very class. I feel safe in saying that a greater number of people have re- covered from catarrh of the stomach by taking Pe-ru-na than any other remedy in the world. This may be partly due to the fact that more peo- pie know about Pe-ru-na than any other remedy, but it Is certainly also due to the fact that Pe-ru-na Is an excellent remedy for such cases.
