A REMARKABLE STORY,
Londen, Jan. 8. At the South-Western Polico-crit, yes. terday, a repectably-dressed wonna came- to the Court with three children in a perambalator and a packet of documenta in her hand. Her application was for a war- rant against her husband for bigamy. She married her husband, she said, on Dec. William 6, 180, his name being George Musk, sa engineer. He had acnstantly ill-treated her. He went away about two Years ago 1. Martborough, and on his re-

About the same time his brother, of whnso existence she bad not previously Don aware, came to live at the same house, bringing with him as his wife her (Appli cante) Gunt For the past two years they had lived in the house, and sho suspected nothing. The brothers were exactly alike, and it was only quite lately that she saw them together on the stairs and noticed the diferance between them, one being fatter than the other. She then discovered to her horror the man who was supposed to be married to her cunt was, is fact, her own husband, mad hat the man with whom she (Applienst) had been living for two years was the brother. At once it. flashed through her recollection that on more than one occasion during her married life har suppåted husband used to get fat and thin alternately, und she know now that, 84.3 matter of fact, her real husband would often go away for days, and bis place would be taken unknown to her by his brother. She only found out the truth when she saw them together.
Mr Deruman. It was a sors of Box and Cox arrangement (laughter). But I cannot understand a woman being deceived in her husband like that.
Applicat.-The brother ill-treated mo just as my husband did. Hero are two like- nesses of them. Each has a acar down the face, and each has lost half a finger You will see by the photographs that one is thinner than the other."
Mr Denman. There is an extraordinary likeness between the two, but you may e mistaken. They may be the likenesses of one and the same man.
Applicat.-Oh, O. I could tell tho difference the moment I saw them together the stairs, I noticed that when be came. back frün Marlborough he was fatter; but ho explained it by saying it was the resul of living in the country. Ar a matter of Fact, I believe ho get a divorce from me unknown to me, and then married my aunt,...! who has got all my money Applicant produced some papers and letters, after perusing whish it was clear there were no divorce proceedings
Mr De-As far as I can understand the caso, it is this: George William Musk
ARE YOU LOSING FLESH?
This is one of the very first steps of disease. It is a warning note You cannot afford to grow thin. Flesh is strength. If you lose it your blood becomes depleted, and Consumption, Scrofula, Anemia, or some other wasting disease will follow.
Scott's Emulsion
is a palatable nourishment that assists in forming bealthy flesh. It enriches the blood, and overcomes the weak, emaciated tendencies - which loss of flesh denotes. It gives vitality. Bold by all Chemists.
