JUST as you breathe in the germs that set up throat,

chest and lung disease, so you must breathe in the remedy that will destroy them. Peps alone provide this ideal and direct treatment.

When a Peps tablet dissolves in the mouth, the power- ful healing and germicidal medicaments given off are (as the diagram shows) breathed down the windpipe (1) straight into the lungs, whereas liquid medicines are merely swallowed down the gullet (2) into the stomach.

Pepa soothe the throat, strengthen the bronchiala, loosem. phlegm, and free the breathing. They heal sore Inflamed mem brane and quickly cure chronic coughs, colds, chills, sore throat, -bronchitis, and other ailments of the throat, cheat and lungs.

Where The Supreme Court Might

Have Been

The Supreme Court sat in its Criminal Jurisdiction. The Ses- sions yesterday were held in the Magistracy. It seems that a year or two ago, the beam ends of the roof at the Supreme Court house were found to be rotten. Pieces of wood were let into the wall, profecting out about four feet. These have lately been bending downwards to "an alarming extent. Pieces of the ceiling were contin- ually giving way and it being quite clear that a crisis was at hand. the roof was supported with scaf- folding from the inside. It was ac- tually supposed that the
