Losing Muscular Powei‘? Changes in the nervous system manifest themselves slowly.

Your friends may notice a slight thickness of speech or that; your memory is decidedly failing. These symptoms may grow worse very quickly if they are not treated by Ferrozone.

Maggie Murphy whose name has been much before the public for some months past, was brought up for trial on Friday before Judge Barrett on the charge of offering an indignity to a dead body. It will be remem- bered that the fall assizes she was tried on th. 6 separate charges. On the first. that of murder she was acquitted. She was likewise acquit- ted on the charge of abandoning her child. On the cha'. ge of showing an indignity to a dead body. the jury disagreed. rendering a new trial nec- essary. She had the option of taking her‘trial before the judge without a jury or of lying in jail till the Spring iassizes. She chose the former alter- native. She was defended by Mr. A. [(3. MacKay of Owen Sound. and of course. he made out the best case he could for her. The Judge prondunc ed her guilty and sentenced her to four months in jail. Never have we seen the incompetency and useless i ness of a jury more clearly demon- strated than in connection with this Icase. Instead of confining their at- tention to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner. they spent most of their time. it would seem, in considering what kind of sentence the Judge might impose, in case they brought in a verdict of guilty. It never oc-’ curred to them that it was none of their business what sentence the Judge m1ght impose. That was his business and his alone. In case‘s of this kind trial by jury is a farce, and the time has about-arrived for this timeohonored bulwark of British lib- erty to be given the six months hoist. ~Walkerton Telescope.

The docrors had a field-day at Di- vision Court on Tuesday, and Judge \Viddifield thinks he is now compet- ent to diagnose for smallpox. It ap pears that when the smallpox broke out in Keppel last year the township council employed Dr. Dunlop, of Shallow Lake, to attend the smallpox cases. The council paid his account except $35 for attendance on a young son of Mr. Joynt, contending that the boy only had chickenpox. Dr. Dun- ‘lop held that it was smallpox, in ,which View he was upheld bv Dr. .Cameron. M. H O . Owen Sound. who also examined the patient. Besides Dr. Campbell, of Hepworth, and Dr. Dunlop, no less than five town doc- tors‘were called to give extort evi- dence. The Judge decided in favor of M1. Duwp, holding that the evi- dence of the physicians who actually saw the patent was more satisfactory than opinions given upon symptoms as detailed by the family.â€"Owen Sound Sun.
