' There is lit- tle doubt that Mrs: Gilligan will take :her place in the record of crime as one of .the most 'ruthless of poison- ers. Nor is she to be excused on the grounds of insanity.. Examining boards of physicians found her to be sane. She was. merely a cold- blooded ,murderess. Her record pales thetp of Brinvilliers;, of whom, Conan Dle has written a 'weird story. The French woman murder- ed her husband, her father, her mo- ther and other telatives for money, and accidentally poisoned her lover, and it was this error that led her to- the headsman after she had un- dergone frightful torttires. The nearest modern parallel to the case of Mrs.' Gilligan is . that of Mrs. Gunness, which horrified newspaper readers of the United, States and Canada a few years ago.

Crudely baited as was 'the trap it closed on several men. One after another they were invited to visit Mrs. Gunness and bring with them proof of their financial sound- ness: They went to the farm with their money or securities -in their carpet bags, and never left it alive. Mrs. Gunne'ss, presumably with the assistance of a hired man named Ray Lamphere, knocked them on the head and buried them on the farm. The crimes were discovered when the farmhouse was burned to ~ the ground and the headless body of MODERN BORGIA IN a' woman, supposed to be that of CONNECTICUT Mrs. Gunness, was discovered.

They are sold by medicine dealers; or by mail at 25 cents a box fron The Dr. Williams' Medicine -Co., Brockville, Ont. By pleading guilty to murder in the second degree and accepting a sentence of life imprisonment, Mrs. Amy E. Archer Gilligan has caused the curtain to be rung down upon one of the most horrible of modern trials. The charge against her was the murder of Frank - A:' -an Andrews on May, 30t1 1914, but - - the evidence tended to show that she put out of the way a dozen, maybe a score or more, helpless, aged people, and with as cold-blooded ruthlessness as animated the Marquise de Brin= Villiers, the French murderess of the seventeeth century. Mrs: Gilligan's victims- were for the most part aged -and friendless people, the inmates ;of an Old Folks' Home that she ran, 'and her object was to save the .ex- pense of maintaining them: This home was located at Windsor, Conn., and was founded by Mrs. Gilligan's first husband,, a man named Archer. After his death she married al man . named Gilligan, who passed away in somewhat peculiar circumstances, though at the time no suspicion was aroused. Now it is supposed that he, like the first hus- band and many others, was a vic- tim of his wife's !mania for money. Mrs. Gilligan operated her home on the contract principle. She would. takt a certain lump sum for which she guaranteed to provide a home for life for the person in whose behalf the money was paid. Usually She asked and receive11,000 and almost always the patient was an old, infirm person whose life expectancy. was short in- deed. If a patient continued to live for five. or six or ten years after entering the home, it is plain that Mrs. Gilligan would be money out of :pocket and it is equally plain that she was not in the business with this object. On the other hand, if he passed =out in a few days or months she would. be that much ahead. She had an aver- age number, of ten persons in her establishineilt. In the five years pre rr•rlintr her arrest forty-eight died. The State established the fact that in a similar home in Hartford, not, however, presided over by a murder - e=;;, the sarhe number of persons died in the same, but in.- the Hartford home there were sixty-four patients. Ori this basis, it is calcu- la;ted that Mrs.: Gilligan should have last telly eight patients . How many ;f the other forty ;were murdered is e. question that will never be known. It was a rather safe kind of mur- der, for as a rule the victims had no particular friends - who were like - 13' to make a fuss over their unec- Erected death. Often_their relati'.es were only too glad to get rid of them, for a considerable callousness Gc'ohld appear to be involved., in en- crusting a person to an institution ,nd then giving the keeper a mane-- tart' tone=t••rt' interest in his, speedy demise. ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN The war wages paid to the average. unskilled woman worker in Great Brit- ain was $8.50 a week, and $15 a week for the skilled labor. Vassor students' to the number df 300 have presented to the trustees a protest against- the monotonous and poorly balanced meals and suggest the appointment of a trained dietitian. The first all woman jury in Mid- land, Michigan, returned a verdict of not guilty in less than one minute latter retiring and after collecting ;their fees turned them over to' a visit - ling • nurses' fund. - —An event of pleasant interest to Goderich people took place at London on Saturday last when Miss Eva Ause- brook,daughter of Mr. Thomas Ause- brook, Goderich, was wedded to Dr. L. = E. Bolster, of Barrie. The cere- mony was performed at 2:30 •o'clock pan: at Centennial Methodist church by Rev. J, E. Holmes. Those present included the bride's father, Dr. and Mrs. A. C. Hunter- and Mrs. C. Gar - row, Goderich, and Dr. J. W. Shaw, of Clinton. The . groom returned some time ago from overseas where he was attached to the Royal Army Medical Corps. The friends of the bride in Goderich—and they are countless—ex- tend their hearty felicitations and good wishes. . -THE CAUSE OF .SICKNESS :: irnost Always Due to. Weak, Im- poverished Blood. Apart from accident or illness due to infection, almost. all ill -health arises from one or two reasons. The great mistake that people make is in not realizing that -both of these have the -same cause at the root of them, namely poor „and improper blood.. Either bloodlessness or some trouble of the nerves will be found to be the reason for almost every ailment. If you • are pale, suffer from headaches, or breathlessness, with palpitation of the heart, • poor appetite and weak di- :;estion, the cause is almost always bloodlessness. If you have nevous headaches, neuralgia, sciatica and other nerve pains, the cause is. run down • exhausted nerves.
