WOLFE'S SCHNAPPS

Indnoes a healthful eeoretion of the gastrio juioe, a chief agent in the process of the transmutation of food into blood.' Electric Beaters in Court. * The notorious " Professor " Biohard brought his case for assault and conspiracy against the rival healers, A. M. Stanloy and his wife, in the Bendigo Polioe Conrt a week or two ago. While Biohard was at Castlemaine tronble arose between him and Stanley, who, with his wife, had been practising at the ooffee palaoe opposite to that patronised by Biohard. The parties had some business connection in West Australia and at Broken Hill, and matters developed in*o a newspaper controversy of a personal character. Stanley republished an article from a i'remantle paper, in whioh Bichard's previons hißtory was violently attacked. Biohard replied with aspersions on Mrs Stanley. On a Saturday night, as Biohnrd was leaving h's consalting-room to* go to the theatre, he was accosted by the Stanleys, and a fracas resulted, the ontcome of which was that the Stanleys were given in charge. On the case being gone into, it was proved that Stanley struck Biobard on the face with an umbrella, and that Mrs. Stanley laid about him vigor on sly with a riding whip. Much comment was made on the failure of Biohard to go into the witnessbox, but his counsel resented the imputation that he was afraid to do bo. The defence was provocation - that an advertisement had appeared in one of the looal papers in disparagement of Mrs. Stanley's moral oharacter; and it was asserted that Biohard was the oanse of its insertion. Bichard's counsel disavowed all knowlege of the advertisement. The Magistrate held the aseault proved against Stanley, and fined him 2s 6d, costs not being asked for by Richard's oonnsel. On the conspiracy charge Mr. Maloney, M.L.A., who appears to be an amateur medical eleotrioian, was a witness. He said that he had studied under Dr Armand de Watteville, one of the greatest authorities on eleotrioity in the world ; bnt he had found more value from his studies under Professor Biohard than under any system he knew. The cross-examination was as follows : — Ton don't suggest that everything can be oured by eleotrioity ?— Where it will end as a medical agent or as a forceful power of nature I can't say. You're in the position of a grateful pupil ? — Tes, that's true. How long have you known Biohard? — Since his arrival in Melbourne in 1892. Is he the same Professor Biohard all the fuss was made in the Melbourne papers about? It was stated in the Press that it was Geismardo ?— Tes. And that he was a fraudulent insolvent ?— " X6B. And that he esoaped from the oolony as Buohp— l don't remember. ] At all events, you remember some very damaging statements made by the Melbourne papers ?— Tes. I Are you aware that it was stated that Geismardo had been in Pentridge ?-Tes. Geismardo and Professor Biohard were eaid to be one and the same ?— It was stated so. No aotions were brought against the papers for these assertions P- Not to my knowledge. 1 Did yon read the artiole, the subjeot of the oharge ?— Tes. There is nothing in it that says he can't use eleotrioity?— No. A man may be a good eleotrioian and as a moral man very undesirable ?— Yes. Do you remember he was sentenoed to - four months' imprisonment on the 11th of i N ™ m ]? e !i3 ?~? ~ WfesHon objeoted to ) J What effect would that artiole have on his business ?— lt wonld ruin anyone. Ladies go to him. Would they do so after that appeared?— l don't think so. , Nor men either P-^No. He knew there w ?2 * F°? d d * sl °f i eftl< ""y in connection with electric healing or anything else that was new. He had never seen any others using the system of Biohard. The " healing touch" was but a very small part of the system. The oase was dismissed. - Si THE AUCKLAND BOOM. Wellington speculators in oonneotioa with the above are of course aware that the oyanide process is the principal cause of the rapid rise in all Northern mining stocks. We would, however, remind them that no oyanide Ci is required to extract odorous whiffs from a pipe filled with "Ascot" Tobacco, when Cameron Bros., the manufacturers, emphatically assert that it is the finest dark aromatio in the market. All who have tried it verify this assertion. — Advt.
