It is an ordi- nary Britisu bulidog revolver of 44 eahber, and of cheap make, the ban dies being set with piecss of wood mstead of bone or ivory Property Clerk Sylvester said that it had been obtaived from a citizen who had had it in his possession for a number of year's The pistol was takea from police headquarters July 2, 1881, the day President Garfield was shot, The Cuban battalion wires Weyler that they were attacked at San Juan by a large body of insurgents under one of the Ducassi brothers.

Consumption Catarrlt invariably leads to consump- tion. Growing worse and worse each winter, those who rely upon the usual treatment of sprays, washes and inhal- ing mixtures find that it is impossible to check the disease with these local applications which only reach the sur- face. The offensive discharge increases all the while, and gets deeper until it is only a question of a short time when the Inngs are affected. The importance of the proper treat- ment can therefore be readily appre- ciated. But no good whatever can be expected from local applications, as such treatment never did cure Catarrh, and never will. Being a blood disease of the most obstinate nature, Swift's Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy which can have the slightest effect upon Catarrh. It is the only blood remedy that goes down to the bottom of allstub- born diseases which other remedies cannot reach. Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West, S. C., writes: “I had such a severe case of Catarrh that I lost my hearing in one ear, and part of the bone in my nose sloughed off. I was constantly treated with sprays and washes, but each winter the disease seemed to have a firmer holc on me. I had finally been declared incurabie when I decided to Yeti try S.S.S. It Bi in seemed togetright gis dace at the seat of the disease, and cured me permanently, for I have had no touch of Catarrh rience of Mr. Chas. A. Parr, Cc = "= others who vainly treatment.
