How an lugllsli Officer Punished a
Savuo ChU ftoin
Hnck of Lagos, -on the West African
roust, one of the native kings allied to
IC11 gin nil recently condemned to death,
according to the custom of the country,
one of his subjects who had been guilty
of adultery with the royul family. An
Kngllsh officer who haimcm-d to come
that way with some troops objected to
the punishment as excessive, and asked
the king to mitigate it. He refused,
and had the man executed.
The Englishman, having a Maxim
gun, thereupon attacked his town,
burned down his palace, killed many
of his people, drove the rent Into the
bush, and at Lagos his conduct was ap
proved by the governor.
Heart
Failure. .
Often first manifested by
treme general debility, with
sudden reactions for the b'etter;
a general dying' out of trje fires
of lite, that brighten up at inter
vals, giving hope of returning
health, but eventually subside,
go out on the spot, and another
" dropped dead on the street " is
reported. A general collapse of
the great vital centres, due to a
lack of sulficient nourishr.-.ent is
tne cuubc. In such cases take
Bovini
and live to join the grt
wh.j today sink; its praise.
1'. 11. Carpenttr, ot 430 Friend
ship St., Providence, says, " I
have never seen a case of gen
eral debility which Bovinine
failed to cure, when taken as I
directed." It cures in every in
stance where .Miial-nutrition is
experienced. It is not a medi
cine, hut a powerful; condensed
food that makes blood, flesh and
bone, and by invigorating the
life-generating organs dispels
disease.
