RHEUMATISM and CATARRH CURED BY Johnston’s Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH.
A Whole Family Cured.
Mrs. C. H. Kingsbury, who keeps a millinery and fancy goods store at St.
Louis, Gratiot Co., Mich., and who is well known throughout the country,
says:
“I was badly troubled with rheumatism, catarrh and neuralgia.
I had liver complaint and was very bilious. I was in a bad
condition; every day I began to fear that I should never be a
well woman; that I should have to settle down into a chronic
invalid, and live in the shadow of death. I had JOHNSTON’S
SARSAPARILLA recommended to me. I TOOK FOUR BOTTLES AND IT
CURED ME, and cured my family both. I am very glad that I heard
of it. I would cheerfully recommend it to every one. I have
taken many other kinds of medicine. I prefer JOHNSTON’S to all
of them.”

THE MASSACHUSETT’S WAY.
Jury in Famous Murder Trial Empaneled in Thirty-Five Minutes.
NO HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS.
A Pittsfield, Mass., dispatch tells how the jury in the now famous
Fosburgh murder trial was obtained “in the time it would take to
formulate the first hypothetical question” in some other States. Under
the Massachusetts system a man may have somewhat of a definite idea of
what goes on around him and yet not be disqualified as a juror.
The dispatch says:
They do these things well in Massachusetts. Twelve good
men were chosen to stand judgment upon Robert S. Fosburgh,
and it required thirty-five minutes to do it. A panel had
been prepared and from it the candidates were called. Each
individual was sworn and Judge Stevens then questioned him as
to his eligibility. Each side was permitted but two peremptory
challenges, and each side had one challenge remaining when the
jury box was filled. Several of the candidates, although they
gave satisfactory answers to the questions propounded, failed
to please Judge Stevens, who excused them. On agreement no
juror was taken from Pittsfield. Called before the court, the
juror heard these questions:
“Are you related to the defendant or have you any interest in
this case?”
