Quietly Acquitted
Reid,
Godcrfch, Apra 16, -Chas. H. 1
rid
of Brucefield, was yesterday acquitted
by, Judge Doyle on the char6e of do-
ing "grievous bodily harts" to John
Alexander, of Tuckersmith Township.
Is a fracas at Brueefieid cattleS ards
sonic months ago. Alexander was
struck with a stick in the Bands of
Reid and sustained a fractured arts.
Ile laid a charge against'Raid and
the ease was heard yesterday in the
courthouse here, a8tracting a large
number from BrUeefield.
Ile had purchased some steers from
John Alexander and his brother and
paid a sum to bind the deal., On
the delivery of the animals ht Bruce -
field the balance was to be paid, but
as the brothers failed to dolivcr one
of the animals purchased, the amount
of the cheque was some $15 less than
they asked. They refused to accept
the money, and said they would take
the cattle away again unless the
amount was increased. Reid re-
fused to do this, and the Alexander
brothers made. an attempt to rcgaie
possession of the steers, already be-
ing loaded into a ear. The violence
wiiiot Raid used in the struggle that
followed, the court decideed was lust -
triable as the cattle were legally ills.
No wi7nesses were called for the
defence, the judge deciding it was un-
necessary and he honorably discharg-
ed Mr. Reid, His honor also com-
mented severely on the action of ;he
plaintiffs.

How to Get Now health and New
Strength at This Season.
Spring ailments aro not imaginary.
Even the most robust find the winter
months most trying to their heal&
Confinement o
n indoors, often in over-
heated
heated and nearly always badly ven-
tilated rooms -in the home, the office,
the shop and the school -taxes the
vitality of even the strongest. The
blood becomes titin and watery and
is clogged with impurities. Some
people have headaches and a feeling
of languor. Others are low-spirtited
and nervous. Sill others are troub-
led witch disfiguring pimples- and akin
eruptions, while some get up in the
morning feeling just as tired as when
they went to bed. These are all
spring symptonts .that the blood is
out of order and that a medicine is
needed. ilTany people take purgative
medicines in the spring. Tits is a
serious mistake. You cannot cure
yourself wi'th a medicine that gallops
through your system and leaves you
weaker still This is all that a pur-
gative does. What you need to -give
you health and strength in the spring
is a tonic medicine that will ennich

ves.

iams' Pink Pills, These pills not
only banish spring weakness but
guard you against the more serious
ailments • that follow, such as anaemia
nervous debility, indigestion,. rheum-
atism and other diseases due, to bad
blood. In proof of this Mrs, Emma
Duck, Carlton Place, Ont., says : "I
was' greatly troubled with weak
spells, dizziness and extreme nervous-
ness, and did not find anything to

an aunt I beganWill-
the use of Dr.

boxes I found any health fully restor-

to others."

cannot afford in your own interests
