The writer of this story is not going 10 tell everything that Mrs. Lombard said about what CINOT did for her stomach trouble as it would simply look so miraculous that it would be passed by as an exageration by the reader and would suggest that any one suffering from stomach trouble with pain and a continual sour acid stomach call on this lady and let her tell her full story which cannot be used here on account of lack of space. Mrs. Lombard is truthful and bears the highest of reputation among her friends and ndghbors. She says:-
 "I had stomach trouble of the most aggravated kind for the past few years and had been told that I would never be any better; the pain I suf fercd has been intense and at times almost unbearable. I could eat noth- ing at all. not even liquids without the greatest of distress. but after try Ing CINOT from the first dose until the present day l have not had any distress and can truthfully say that [ appreciate what this medicine has done for me as all other remedies have failed.'

WHAT ISAIAH PREDICTED
 BELIEVED BY CATHOLICS

The prediction of Isaias. the first great Hebrew prophet, "a virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son." as prefig- uring the miracle of the Incarnation, s a doctrine of faith firmly believed by all Roman Catholics, said Rev. Myles P. Calvin, from the pulpit of St Fat-Ick's church Sunday at the high mass, in his series of sermons on the Works of the Creator.
 The teachings of Holy Scripture as well as the deductions of reason rrove that Mary was virgin before, dufing and after the birth of Christ In the wondrous designs of God the humble maiden of Nazareth was to have the prerogative of bringing forth the Mes siah, yet was to have another preroga- tive-that of continuing in her virgin ity. The preacher followed the recor'l of Scripture in proof of Marys stupen- dous destiny, chosen by the Almighty d be the Mother of the Redeemer pointing out the reasons why she is venerated and invoked by those for whom her Di. vine Son suffered and died.
 Reference was made to the holy house hold of Nazareth, the Christ Child aur tured and tenderly cared for by His Mo ther, submissive, as the Scriptures re late, to His foster-father, Saint Joseph who was the saviour of his Savieurs life watching over. toiling and caring for .h Holy Infant. That this saint, given al the authority of father on earth of tn Son of God, merits reverence for hi chastity, his humility-an obscure car penter although of the powerful house o David-that, as patron of all working men, his virtues Should be C.Jied, hi i faithfulness initiated, his protection in
 voked the preacher convincingly i'm l pressed upon his hearers The hol
 household of Nazareth as the pattern c
 every Christian home was the salien

Three men were bound over to the next trm of the criminal superior court at the Saturday session of the New London po- lice court WheI<the court opened Isa- dore Bergman was presented on the charge of uttering and negotiating forged checks.
