It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despaliring patient, instead ri)f resorting to the usual.list of med- cines.

Here's an instancer . “Four._years ago 1 was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. > “I heard of a doctor who had a sum- mer cottage near me—a specialist from N.

SURE THEY HEARD HORN BLOWN Several Witnesses Testify So for Defendant in Automobile Damage Suit—Claim That Mrs. Paulsen Dodged Back in Front of Albert G. Greene’s Machine—Clung to Front Before She Went Between the Wheels. Testimony on whether the automo- bile horn was blown and as to what Mrs. Augusta Paulsen did as the au- tomobile was approaching her were prominent features introduced Thurs- day in the superior court trial here of the suit of Mrs. Augusta Paulsen of this city against Albert G. Greene of Griswold, which occupied the court all day. The case was begun Wed- nesday afternoon with Judge T. J. Kelly and Attorney Allyn L. Brown as counsel for the plaintiff and Attorney Telley E. Babcock counsel for the de- fendant, who is sued for $3,000 dam- ages. ‘When court came in on Thursday morning Mre. Ruth Agnes Savage was called to the stand by the plaintiff’s attorneys. She was on the opposite side of West Main street from Falls avenue on the afternoon of Aug. 5, 1914~ when she heard a noise, looked about, and saw Mrs. Paulsen hit by the automobile driven by Mr. Greene. She was sure no horn was blown. Frank E. Beckwith was another ‘witness for the plaintiff and was fol- lowed by Miss Dolores Paulsen, who was with her mother when the acci- dent happened. She was sure no horn was blown by the automobile_ driver. Drs. H E. Higgins, James J. Don- ohue and Louis T. Cassidy testified to their attendance upon Mrs. Paul- sen at various times and to the na- ture of her injurles, For the Defense. In the afternoon the defense be- gan introducin~ evidence, beginning with Mr. Greene, who was driving the car and who is the defendant in this case. T~ lives in Griswold and runs an auto as a livery car. He said that he was on his way to the Central Vermont station at the time of the accident and had four passengers in his car. As he came to the Falls avenue corner he was going very slow- 1y and‘he sounded his horn. He was moving about two miles an hour. Many people were crossing, but he saw an opening and moved his car to go through over the crosswalk when he heard a woman cry “Oh Mamma.” Mrs_ Paulsen had _about gotten out of the way of the car, but she turned back in front of it and threw herself onto the front of the car and was-thrown so that she went down between the wheels. The car passed over her and she was drag- ged a short distance. He told of what was done for her at the time and to taking her to her home in the au- automobile. Mr.. Greene was cross-examined by Attorney Brown.. Frank R. Denison, who saw the Grecne automobile going towards the Falls Avenue corner, said it was the only automobile in sight and the horn was blown two or three time before turning the corner. The witness saw Mrs. Paulsen and her daughter on the crosswalk #nd the daughter was on tie right side of the car but Mrs. Paulsen had gone past the car and then dodged back in front of the au- to, which struck her, passed by her and was stopped in its:lensth. Mrs. Paulsen, he said, got up without as- sistance. On cross examination by Attornev Brown. Mir, Denison said he was talk- ing to George R. Barber, a previous witness i\ this case when the car first went past him and his attention was attracted by a woman's scream. The car was moving very slowly. He figured it out that Mrs. Paulsen had ‘gone forward about six feet and then dodged back six feet and was hit by the automobile. He thought the rear wheels were hardly off the crossing when the car was brought to a stop. Mrs. Paulsen’s daughter did not scream until her mother was just about to be struck by the automoblle. Mr. Denison was asked by Attorney Brown if he had ever been in an ac- cident like this with an automobile or driving a_horse to which the witness said “No.” The attorney asked about a time when Mr. Denison was driving a Mr. Morgan in Washington square, but Attorney Babcock objected to the question and Judge Greene sustained the objection. Mrs, Augustua D, Greene of Preston, who was riding in the Greene car, tes- tified_that the car was almost at a stop but was moving some as it came to the crosswalk. She said she saw Mrs. Paulsen and Miss Paulsen and the daughter stepped back but Mrs. Paulsen went ahead and had cleared the car when the daughter screamed and Mrs. Paulsen stepped back in front of the car, facing it and taking hold of the front of the car before she was struck. While Mr. Greene was talking Mrs. Paulsen home after the accident, the witness rode in the back seat with Mrs. Paulsen and Mrs. Paulsen show- ed her injured arm and said her daughter's scream had scared her be- cause she thought her daughter was being killed, On’ cross examination. Mrs. Greene said another automobile passed them and went across the crosswalk before the Greene machine and there was an- other sutomobile that went west. The Greene automobile was going very slowly as it came to the crosswalk, but went a little faster. Foliceman Frank S, Henderson, on the Norwich police force from 20 to 25 years, was on Thames square at the time of the accident, and saw Mrs. Paulsen sitting in a chair™after the accident. The policeman took the name and license number of the auto- mobile cwner and saw Mr. Greene take Mrs. Puulsen into the auto to take her home. The witness saw a mark or bruise of about the size of a five cent plece on Mrs. Paulsen’s arm. There was also_a little blood from an injury on_Mrs. Paulsen’s head. Miss Gertrude Greene of Preston, who is supervisor in the telephone o fice at Springfleld, and was in Mr. Greene's automobile on the way to the Central Vermont depot, was the fol- lowing witness. She had been home to attend a wedding and was going back to Springfield. She testified that Mr, Greene blew the auto horn twice before the accident. Miss Greene, who is the daughter of Mrs. Augusta D. Greene, gave testimony along the same line which Mrs, Greene had giv- en as to the way Mrs. Paulsen step- ped in front- of the car and was hit. This witness was sitting on the right side of the car in front. On_cross examination Miss Greene said Mrs. Paulsen took a diagonal di- rection when she stepped back in front of the machine and that Mrs. Paulsen took hold of the car and tried to push it back. The machine put on some speed t> go over the sidewalk When Mrs, Paulsen was picked up she was in the street between the two cross- walks at th's point. Charles S. Rogers, who has a _re- pair shep on West Main street about opposite Falls avenue, was looking out of his £20p window, said he heard the automobile horn blown twice. He described how he saw Mrs. Paulsen and Miss Paulsen with the automobile approaching and to what each woman did, Dr. €. C Gildersleeve, who made an examinaticn of Mrs. Paulsen on Wed- nesday, in the presence of Drs. Don- ohue and Cassidy. said her condition shows she is suffering from nervous chock, but with the exception of a slight diseased condition of the audi- tory canal, her condition seems nor- mal. _ He did not consider her neck was deformed, and the finger that Mrs. Paulson complained of was an ordinary ring-around. Mrs. Paul- sen is suffering from neurasthenia to some extent. On cross examination the doctor said that a nervous shock such as come: from an automobile accident is one of the recognized causes of neu- rasthenia. Headaches such as Mrs. Paulsen had described might be symp- toms of the effect of the accident and it would be hard to say how long it would take to effect a cure in a case of reurasthenia. c adiourned at 5 o'clock. The teial will be resumed on Tuesday. WILL REDECORATE CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH.

Two Cut Short to Save ‘Groggy Fight- ers—Corbett and Homer Monty Had Their Men Golag. An audience of fully 650 witnessed the four boxing bouts and enjoyed the musical programme at the fifth annual smoker of the Molders' union in Froeh- lichkeit hall on Thursday evening Neither of the four bouts on the pro- gramme went the specified number of rounds. The first go, between Jack Monty and Kig Switt, was stopped in the third round, as the referee claimed that Monty fouled Swift; the second bout, between Sailor Jack Sullivan of Norwich and Hi Ladd of Worcester, stopped in the fifth, as it was clalmed that Sullivan struck Ladd be- low the belt line; the third, between Homer Monty of this city and Jack Harrison of Pawtuckett, was stopped in the third round because Harrison was being unmercifully beaten by the Norwich boy, and the fourth go, be- tween Joe Corbett of the state hos- pital and Tom Dries of Boston, only went three rounds, as Corbett proved too much for the Boston boy and the bout was ordered stopped. After several selections by Wal- dron’s orchestra, William J, Fitzgerald, chairman of the arrangements commit- tee, announced as the opening number a vocal selection, Night Brings the Stars and You, by William T. Delaney of Taftville. Following the Monty- Swift bout, James Mulholland rendered When I Dream of Old Erin, I'm Dream- ing of You, in excellent voice. Joseph Morrison was also heard in a well ren- dered vocal selection, and the orchestra provided music between the bouts. The first bout, that between Monty and Swift, was pulled off about 8.45 o'clock with James Smith of New York as referee and Barney Keenan as time- keeper. The bout was slated for six three-minute rounds. During the first half minute Kid Swift led off, both getting in a succession of quick blows, none of which had any noticeable ef- fect on either man, however. Again and ‘again the boxers clinched and showed reluctance to break at the word of the referee. In the second round Monty got in the first blow, but again the fighters clinched. Swift was back- ed against the ropes by Monty and Swift retaliated with a vicious upper- cut. During the third bout both men went at each other in earnest, but Referee Smith stopped the bout, as he claimed that Monty had clinched and was striking below the belt line and that he failed to break at the word of command. After the bout Monty stated that he was fighting according to the Marquis of Queensbury rules and claims that according to the rules he was fighting fair, as both fighters had one arm free at all times. Swift stated that Monty ‘was not fighting fairly and that he had fouled. The popular opinion favored Swift. 9 Sullivan vs. Hi Ladd was the next bout called. This was scheduled for six three-minute rounds. Sullivan had the advantage over Ladd, as he out- weighed Ladd by several pounds. In the first round both men went down, with Ladd on top, but were immedi- ately on their feet. Ladd ducked one of Sullivan's right swings and then landed Sullivan a right uppercut. Sul- livan led the second round and both men lost their footing, going down for a second time with Hi again on top. Both men were fighting when the bell sounded. Sullivan got in the first blow in the third and got Ladd for a sting- ing right to the face. Ladd swung viciously but missed, and the boxers were fighting at the ropes when the bell rang. The pace began to tell on Ladd in the third round and Sullivan staggered him with a well directed punch. Ladd neat'- ducked a vicious right swung just before the end of the round. Ladd led off in the fourth round. but Sullivan got him for _several rights to the face. In the fifth round Sullivan went down to the floor but was immediately on his feet and fol- lowing Ladd up to the ropes had him groggy when the bout was stopped as the referee claimed that Sullivan fouled Ladd below the belt, The next bout was that between Homer Monty and Jack Harrison, with Kid Wilson as referee, replaeing Ref- eree Smith. This was announced as a six round go. Harrison outweighed Monty by some pounds. but as he was not in condition ke made a poor show- ing after the first round. Monty knocked him down during the first minute, but he was on his feet in an instant and got Monty for several stinging face blows before the end of_the round. Monty forced the fighting in the sec- ond round, rushing Harrison to the ropes. Harrison went down under the onslaught and nearly took the count. Harrison was knocked down repeated- ly in the third round, but bobbed up each time just before the count. His nose was bleeding profusely and as it was apparent that Monty was too much for him the bout was ordered stopped. e The final bout, between Corbett and Dries, was generally conceded to be the fastest bout of the evening. Both fighters fought clean, breaking instant- ly at the word of command. Corbett was the heavier of the two, this giving him some advantage over his oppo- New London; vice president, Dr. T Allen_Ganung, Bridgeport; secretary, Dr, Biwyn_R.

Hughes out of this life. He had come here over a quarter of a century ago to get acquainted with the town, and he at once decided that it was worthy of his confidence and sup- port. Some of its own residents and taxpayers and many residents and taxpayers of other cities advised him sincerely and frequently that it was foolish for him to be such a friend to Waterbury and that he would probably be repaid with ingratitude or worse. He was steadfast, loyal and persever- ing in his friendship, and turned a deaf ear to such warnings. His belief in the future of Waterbury was well founded and his business grew as the city grew, proving that the ideas he had of the town from the first were correct. Mr. Hughes commanded the full re- spect of all Waterbury, not only as the successful head of a large business house, but also as an individual. This was due chiefly to his admirably poised disposition and to those who had the privilege of meeting him fre- quently he was a truly lovable man. Every growing community needs men of the character and with the ideals of George F. Hughes and can ill afford to lose them. Reallzing its own loss, the community extends its sincere service, led New Lon- The Sunday D, school in- week in Fitch- F nent, The Boston boy forced the fight- ing in the first round and the second was about even.

A QUICK, SURE WAY TO END CATARRH Catarrh Germs Breed by Millions in Alr Passages of Nose and Throat—Just One Way to Drive Them Out. To stop catarrh for good you must drive from your system the germs that cause catarrh and that are now feeding and growing fat upon the swollen in- flamed mucous membranes of your nose and throat. A splendid means of destroying ca- tarrh merms and overcomisg catarrh has long been recognized by physicians in the well known oil of Hyomel (pro- nounced High-o-me) and it is now a very simple matter for any catarrh sufferer to use it with splendid results at home, by breathing its air through a lttle hard rubber Inhaling device Which leading druggists are supplying with each large complete treatment. Just pour a few drops of the oil of Hyomel into this inhaler, place it b tween your lips and then breathe nat- urally and the pleasant smelling amti- septic, germ killing air will penetrate deep down into every fold and crevice of your raw, sore nose, throat and lungs and give you quick, certain r 1lef, opening up the air passages, mak- ing you breathe easily, stopping the inflammation and discharge and driving from your system every catarrh germ that has found lodgement there. If you want to be free from every symptom of catarrh, are tired of try- ing one thing after another without benefit, go to Lee & a_or any Other reliable drug store hereabouts and get a complete Hyomel inhaler out- 8t, use it every day for a few minutes and if it does not drive the catarrh germs out of your system and give you Teal lasting relief from catarrh, your drugelst will give you your money | back.
