Mrs Wood, a quai living in Jersey City, New York, has been indicted as a " common scold," a charge which has not ljeen made for nearly three hundred years. Mrs Wood has been the heroine of numerous quarrels with her neighbours on account of deputes about their children, and had frequently been ar!Stcd and fined for disorderly con_uct. The authorities, now determined to make an example of her, have charged her with being a '•' common scold." The penalty of this offence, stipulated under an unrepealed law of the old colonial days, before tho Revolution, is a ducking in the river, and iU is intended to carry out this punishment if the woman be convicted.

Mr Cohen says : —'•Last FiMuy I experienced a very bad attack of rheumatic gout, in fact so bad that I had to leave business, and being unable to walk I was assisted to a cab. On arrival at home I immediately' took a dose of your. Rhounio, repeating same every four hours. The pain soon left, and in the morning I came ■down to business as usual. I cannot say too much for the prompt and effectual manner in which your Kheumo acts on pain." Rheumo cures every time. Chemists and stores. 2s 6d and 4s 6d per bottle.
