ONLY A CASE OF BADNESS
"PhaIacrosis," as Described by Doctor
to Jury in Assault Case, Gains
AcquittaI of the Accused.

The following example of puzzled
jury Is taken from an American jour
nal, remarks British exchange. A
leading citizen" In certain town was
taken before the magistrate charged
with assault and battery. One of the
witnesses was local doctor, whom the
prosecuting attorney proceeded TO
worry, suggesting that he was preju-
diced In favor of the defendant and
had therefore willfully distorted his
evidence i'm his favor The doctor de-
MED this, and went on to say that the
defendant was suffering from "phala-
crosis." Tn word caused sensation
i'm court and. asked to define the dis
ease, the doctor described II as "a sort
Of chOnic disease of an infiammat0ry
nature which affects certain cranial
tissues" Asked II ii affected the mind,
the doctor said he was not posing as
an expert, but he had known some per-
sons who were suffering from the dis
ease become raving maniacs, othehrs
merely foolish; some showed destruc-
tive and pugilistic tendencies, while
many others had suffered for years
and had never shown any mental alb
nOrmalities. He refused to say any
thing further, and the jury promptly
acquitted the Heading citizen" be-
cause, as the foreman explained, doc
said there was something the matter
with his head" When the case was
over the prosecutor sought enlighten-
ment as to the mysterious disease, and
found that "phalacrosis" meant-bald-
ness.

THE NEW METHOD
By L. w. Bower, M. d.

Backache of any kind Is often caused
by kidney disorder, which means that the
kidneys are not working properly. Poison

The latest and most effective means
of overcoming this trouble, is to eat SPAR
