PVR NOUIGFResaal Indiacald t tom and physical sign indicated a gf“ of rapid consumption and the ‘breaking down of â€" the lungs. . Death â€"certainly seemed but a short time distant, A regretful experience had taught me the . useleseness of the ordinary remedies used for thhdw and fatal disease, and no hope was to be looked for in this directfon. _ I had fi‘.l&l;lnw read the testimonials in Aavor of Dr, Williams‘ Pink Pills in wasting diseases, but not knowing their compostâ€" tion hesitated to use them. ~Finally, how: ever, I decided to give then a trial, and 1 am free to say that I only used them at a stage when I knew of absolutely nothing else .that . could save the | patient‘s life. The test was a most severe one and I must also admit an unfair one, as the patient was so far gone as to make all hope of recovery seem impossible. A very short time, however, convinced me of the value of Pink Pills: Although only using an ordinary soothing cough mixture wlong with the pills, within a week ‘the symptoms had abated so much that it was mo longer necessary for me to make daily ealls. Recovery was so rapid that within a month Miss Kyonter was able to drive to my office, adistance of about six miles, and was {ullng reasonably well, except for weakness,. The expectoration had ceased, the cough was gone and the breathing in the diseased lung was being restored. The use of the Pink Eilll was continued until the end of October, when she ceased to take â€" the medicine, being in perfect health. I . still watched her csse with deep interest‘ but almost & year has now passed and not m trace of hdr_.illness remains. _ In. fact she is as woll as ever she was and no_ one wouldâ€"â€"# ct that she bad ever been lilinT. to say nothing of having been 11 the clutches/fof such a deadly disease as oonlnm{;tio £. : Her recovery through the use of Pink Pills, giter having reached a stage, when other remedies were of no avail, is so remarkable that I feel myself justified in giving the facts to the public, and 1 regret that the composition of the pillsis notâ€"known to the medical profesâ€" sion avâ€"large in order that ‘their merit might be tested in many more disemses and their usefulness be thus extended. I intend giving them an extended trial in‘ the.case of. consumption, believing from their action ‘in this case, (so woll marked) that thfey will prove a curative in all cases where a Cure is at all possibleâ€" I mean before the lungs are entirely destroyed.

On the 30th ult. a foreigner of respectable: appearance, representing himâ€" delf as a journeyman watchâ€"maker, employâ€" ed at Mr Waiker‘s, Cornbhill, took a secondâ€" floor back bedroom at No. 49 Denmarky Street, paying a week‘s rent in advance, He appeared to be a person of orderly and sober habits, . He was outâ€"ofâ€"doors all day, and ‘be "went in and wout morning and evening without attracting any notice from his fellowâ€"lodgers. He waited upon himself, and always locked his door begare going out. There was therefore ‘no curiosity excited by the fact that his room remained closed during the whole of last Tuesday, and although no one had seen the locfixer in question, it was uupgosed that he had gone out at the usual hour in the morning and letâ€"himsolf in at theâ€" usual houXin the evening. _ The house is in the occupation of three different familiesâ€"the first floor being occupied by a working tailor, and the front room used as a workâ€" shop for threerr four men. ‘The foreigner, who gave the name of Saqai, and represer.tâ€", ed himseli as a French Swise, from:the department of the Jura, had been accomâ€" modated with a latchâ€"key. _ It was only at six . o‘clock yesterday _ morning, when the landlady knocked at the door of the secondâ€"floor back, with the intention dfasking her lodger to leave his room open, in order that she might clean it during his absence, that suspicion was first aroused. His hour for leaving the house was supposed to be about seven, and not beâ€" ing able to obtain any reply atsix,the woâ€" man concluded that he had been outalinight, and proceeded to inquire of the other !odâ€" gers when he had been last @een, she herâ€" self not having seen him since Monday morning, when he passed her in tle passâ€" age at a quarler past seven on his way out. No one remembered: having seen him or heard any movement in his room since Monâ€" day afternoon, when one of the men in‘ the tailor‘s work&hop had seen him pass the open door on his â€"way downâ€"stairs. Susâ€" gioion being now aroused, the door was roken open, and a terrible spectacle met the view of.thase who.entered the room.~A man was found lying on the floor, stabbed through the heart‘ He had been stabbed. in the back, and there were three wounds, two of which were deadly. No weapon has yet been found, but from the natureof the wounds it is supposed they were inflicted by ‘a doubleâ€"edged knife, ‘The body was surrounded by the _ bedclothing, which had been stripped off the bed and s?rend about the murdered man so as to absorb the blood that mignt otherwise have stained tho ceiling below.

He and the deceased had been at Eton together, and he was, he believed, one of Mr. Hatâ€" rell‘s oldess and most ibtimate friends. They were in the habit of meeting frequently in London, and he had often visited Mr. Hatrell in his hopse in Buckinghamshire. _ Colonel Macdonald stated that he was an intimate friend 6f the deceased, and that he had lunched with him at the Army and Navy Club on Monday, the 5th inst. .

As 1 passed a small Italian coffeeâ€"house a tew doors from the spot at which Hatrell and I parted,I noticed a man standing in the doorâ€"way, looking down the strect in the direction of Cranbourne Alley, and it seemed to.ma, on after considerntion, that he was standing there for a purpose,on the watch for something or some one in the street. . He had a more inwnt}ook than a casual idler would have had. T crossed the road almost immediately after I observed this man, and I loitered a little on my way to St. Martin‘s Lane, looking.at one or two shops, As I waited at the corner with my face toward Long Acre, a hansom passed close by me,and freoognized the man being driven in it as the same man Ihad seen at the door of the cafe.

The water should beheated gradually, acâ€" cording to the thickness of the article boiled, for instance, a leg of mutton of ten pounds‘ weight, should be placed over a moderate fire, which will gradually make the water hot, without causing it to boil, for about forty minutes, If the water comes to a boil sooner, the mmeat will become hardened And shrink up as if it had been scorched. # of these precious _ moments, _ I do not want them to feel that I ant fot interâ€" ested in their affiairs or that Iam eitner too careless or ignorant to advise them.
