A person is quite as apt to catch cold in the summer 2s in the winter, but it is harder to cure a cold in the summer than in the winter. In winter the brac- jing air assists the remedy to overcome the cold, but the sultry, depressing weather of summer retards the cure of colds. The public is much interested in knowing a remedy thatwill successfully cope With summer colds. A remedy that covers just such cases is Peruna. Experience has taught that it is the one remedy that prompily expels sum. mer colds of évery character and de: scription. Miss Ivy Gray, Fairview, Ky., says: : “,[ have taken Peruna, and would say '$hat it is the best medicine for coughs and colds I ever saw. I find that it slways cures a cold in a short while. It #lso strengthens and builds up the sys- tem.” ~ AR A R RN wrPECIAL NOTICE—Many persons are making inquiries for the old-time Peruna.

In passing judgment in this case, Judge Breed was confronted with the testimony as offered by Pease and Davis that Pease had bought fish and lobsters from the ‘Wilcox brothers for $1.60 and the tes- timony of the Wiicoxes that Pease had bought nothing whatever frem them except mackerel for 75 cents. The sit- uation was that, as referred to by Herbert W. Rathbun, one of the la vers for the defense, of a question as to whether “spotter testimony was superior to the testimony of two good |§ citizens of this town.” Judge Breed | stated that the evidence left him not satisfied beyonq a reasonable doubt of the guilt of the accused and he declared the Wilcoxes not guilty and acquitted. There is now left for trial | as the result of the activities of Pease and Davis the case against Henry Lewis of Fitchville, which has been | continued to October 12, and the case | against Moses H. Wilcox, also charged with having short lobsters, which lat- ter will come up in the Stonington court this (Saturday) morning at 9.30 | o’clock.
