Do your bones ache ? Feel
chilly at times ? Been getting
nervous of late ? Somehow
you think of the grip at once.
You know it's a disease for
the weak, not the strong. A

the germs of the disease.
Afake yourself strong. Take

make the best preventive.

Emulsion lifts that terrible
depression, and cures that
tickling cough, noi-.mnisi.oo.

In connection with one of tho above
cases the following from the New Ago
will bo of interest: "The now famou
'horse case' l now practically settled,
the Sprlngville, N. Y., bank officials
having made a proposition which the
defendants accepted, and the money,
($1,000), is paid Into the hands of at
torneys, who are to complete the trans
fer of papers and money. The case
grew out of a sale of a blooded horse
to u syndicate of Wyoming county
fanners and others upon the asrferva
tlon that It could bo made profitable
for breeding purposes. A few of the
purchasers paid cash for their shares
In tho animal, while the others signed
a joint note. The note was eventually
turned over to a national bank at
Spilngvllle, N. Y., the ofilcers of which
appeared on tho scene in pursuit of its
collection when due. In the meantime
it is alleged that the horse was of very
ordinary lineage and worth little If
any more than any team hoi so of ple
blan blood. The signers of the note
therefore resolved to resist payment.
The case went into court, the main
issue being the question of whether
the note was negotiable property. A
verdict for the defendants was there
obtained. The bank officials then ap
pealed to tlie supreme court, where
after a year's delay the decision of the
lowr court was reversed; the chief
chief justice dissenting from this opin
ion. A year later a re-argument of
the case before thp supreme court was
ordered, but this was never done. Its
final disposition now, in the manner
above mentioned, is a source of sat
isfaction to all concerned."
