H., on an early morning train. He went in the care of two keepers, who will return him to the New Hampshire Asylum for the Insane, where he has recently been an inmate. Dennett entertained the Mercer street police with imitations of Joseph Ohoate and Dr. aPrkhurst, who he imagines are incarnate in him. Another of his delusions is that he owns the earth, He has sevoral times escaped from the New Hampshire Asylum, but has never evaded capture beyond a few weeks. Once he walked through the streets of Concord in his nightshirt, carrying a lighted lantern. Two years ago he wrecked a sleeping-car while being re- turned to the asylum. Several weeks ago Dennett got away from the asylum, and in some way he got as far South as Charleston, 8. C., before he was captured and identified. He arrived in ¢his city dast night in charge of a keeper and was joined bere’ by another able-bodied guard, who will gee that he does no mischief between here and Concord. Arthar F.

WE WANT EVERY ONE TO KNOW ABOUT IT. : An Interesting Bi ering Half In 1848 Rey. Father John O'Brien, @ noble man, came to Lowell, Mass., to do the Master's work in St. Pat- tick’s Parish. In 1854 Father John, as he was fondly known to his people, was at- tacked with a serious cold which, de- veloping into a stubborn cough and affliction of the lungs, caused the greatest alarm for the health of the beloved clergyman. Medical skill seemed unable to stay the progress of the disease. Finally an eminent specialist was consulted, who gave Father John a prescription to cure the cold and remove the lung trouble, as well as to build up and strengthen the body. The Clergyman took the prescription to the old drug store of Carleton & Hovey, Lowell, Mass., the firm by whom Father John’s Medicine 4s prepared. ever. Father John recommended medicine to his parishioners and friends, and thousands were made well and strong by taking it. In getting this prescription they always called for ‘Father John’s Medicine,” and so it was named by the people and advertised—all with the approval | and sanction of Reverend Faffer O'Brien, because he knew of its merit Daily Home List FATHER JOHN'S. The cough soon disappeared and his peo- le rejoiced when he declared that he been made as well and strong as the n3 t of History Cov- a Century. and desired that all who were ailing might benefit by its power to cure. This old-fashioned, wholesome rem- edy is unequalled as a body builder and tonic. It restores health and | strength to all run-down systems. Its gentle laxative effect strengthens the stomach and corrects the digestion. It drives out all impurities. It is a food medicine and contains only pure nourishment, It is not a patent med- icine, and it 1s free from opium, mor- phine or poisonous drugs in any form, which are found in the majority of patent preparations, While it is not a ‘cough syrup” or “balsam,” nothing equals this pre- scription for coughs, colds, bron- chitis, asthma, consumption and all throat and lung troubles, It has a most soothing and healing effect, and at the same time builds up the body and makes strength.
