South Royalton, Vermont. "About three yeera ago I began to suffer with Indigestion. Food soured inmy stomach, causing mo to belch and I had terrible heart burn, with pains in my chest and arms. My heart became affecteds I had short ness of breath the action of my kidneys was irregular, tho secretions scanty and scalding.
 /, I was knocked out, and good for nothing, when I read about Fruit a-tiyes' and sent for box. I used q few and thought, well, they will turn out like all the other remedies I have tried' but to my surprise and gladness, I noticed improvement and I continued the use of Fruit a-tives', (or Fruit Liver Tablets) with the result that 8 dozen boxes made me feel like 8 different persona.

 ''No sir. I was going to fire until they dispersed.'' Did you continue firing after they had dispersed?' "Yes."
 After the crowd indicated that it was going to disperse, why did you not stop?" "I thought it was my duty to go on until they had dispersed. If I fired a little, I should be wrong in firing at a1l.''
 Continuing their report, the inves- tigators added: "He, General Dyer. said he con- 1 tinued firing for about 10 minutes, until he had expended 1850 rounds | of ammunition.
