'Hie inspector admitted tnat tlie Sheep were oiuy slightly aliecied. il. R.

Staveley appeared for plaintill', defendant being unrepresented. Plaintiff stated that oil the night of April 12 lie was iu Airs. Robinson's tearooms having supper, and made a remark about Murray, who was a waiter, being quick .with the tea. Murray used bad language, and this was followed by a blow. Ililii liopata gave corroborative evidence. He. however, heard plaintiff call Murray a liar. Defendant denied using bad language, but pleaded guilty to striking plaintiff, uiui:r provocation.

For instance, Headaches, Constipation, Flatulence, Heartburn are .frequently symptoms of excess uric acid in the blood, and the sooner this acid is eradicated the better. The safest and mo-"t reliable remedy for these complaints is RHEUJIO. It has been proved by the test of public experience and is acclaimed by thousands as the one genuine remedy. RIIEUJIO goes to the seat of the trouble, and by driving the uric acid from the blood, quickly gives relief and effects a cure.
