Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound is a medicine made from medi cinal roots and herbs, and without drugs, to relieve the sickness women so often have, which is indicated by backache, weak feelings, nervousness, and no am bition to get anything done or to go anywhere.

' JURY SURPRISED BY OWN VERDICT After Being Dismissed Discovers It Found Opposite To What It Intended The novel situation of a jury re turning a verdict exactly opposite what it intended, and no way being found to rectify the mistake without another trial, although none of the jurors had left the court room, tran spired in City court Wednesday. The case was that of Smith & Cushen- Ih'ii v, mule deab’i ? of Dawson, against J. A. Stewart on a fore, los | uie of a mortgage on soiu- animals bought by Mr. Stewart some time ago upon the allegation that he had disposed of one of the mortgaged animals iDegally, making all the debt I due. The defense tiled what is I „o>-.n in thit couit as an • ilh ■ iti ; in reply, which meant that it- de -1 med that any of the term of the i rnoilgage had been violated and that therefore the other party had no ’ ground: on v.Jiii h to base a sun, as ■no money was due. The jury, in- I tending to find for Mr. Stewart, re i turned the following verdict: “We I the jury find against the illegality. R. S. Broadhurst, foreman.” As soon as the verdict was an nounced the jurymen were dismiss ed and left the box. Attorney Dick Marlin, of Dawson, representing the plaintiffs, objected to Judge Harper that the verdict should have speci fied the amount which the jury found his clients should recover. This ques tion caused some of the jurors to wonder what it meant, and one of ; them called J. E. Sheppard, attorney i for the defense, to one side and ifF- I formed him that the verdict was in . favor of Mr. Stewart. Mr. Shep i pard called the attention of Judge i Harper to the situation and asked ’ that the jurors, none of whom had | left the court, be recalled to their I .box to reconsider the form of their I verdict. To tins Mr. Marlin object- I ed mill Judge Harper ruled that, in j view of Supreme court decisions, i such a procedure would be illegal, I the jury having been dismissed and left the box. Lawyers agree that the only remedy left for the defense to • rectify the mistake is to ask foY a j new trial, setting out the facts, which are already known to the court. lhe confusion of the jury was said ito have resulted from the many points and instructions jnvolved in the judge’s charge, and the employ ment of legal terms in the verdict as instructed, instead of ordinary Eng | lish. been critically ill for the past few I days, is some better todav.
