Cantrill, King of Ghouls, Grows An gry on Witness Stand. Indianapolis, Feb. 5.—At the trial of J. C. Alexander, indicted on charges of grave robbing, an effort was made today to unravel some of the stories that have been told in regard to tha murder of Doc Lung, a Chinese laur- dryman. Some of the grave robbei r under arrest, it has been said, knew something about the murder. Attorney Spaan asked Rufus Can- trill, the negro and confessed kin; of ghouls, on the witness stand if h; had not had a convexsation at th? jail with one of the gx-ave robbers with regard to the killing of the Chinese. Cantrill said he Lad not, and then added angrily: “Let them tell what they know about the killing of Doc Lung, if they want to” Doc Bailey struck out this testi mony. The court room was packed with spectators. Ca’ntrill was cross-examined and showed much spirit, and the attorneys for the prosecution were apprehensive that he would lose his temper. Attorney Lpaan was not satisfied with one of Cantrlll’s answere and ho told the negro that he would not argue with him. “And I don't want to argue with you,” the negro said in a surly man ner. Cantrill said he had been pres ent when the Doehring grave was opened. He denied that he had tele phoned Dr. Anderson in October “not to worry, that I was paid for doing this, and that you would come out all right.” Cantrill at the request of Attorney Spaan gave the names of Henry Mar tin. Walter Daniels, William Jones, Letov Williams, Walter Williams, 1 Sham Donnell and Burford Colley a : members of the grave robbers’ band.

GentlemenIn September, 1899, I took rheum M ism in a very bad form. In a month alter the disease started I Pad to mw up my work and ro to bed. It continued to yrow worse until my arms ami hands were badly drawn, so much so that I could not use them. My loirs were drawn back until my feet touched’my hips. I was as helpless as a baby for nearly twelve months. The muscles of my arms and loirs were hard and shriveled up. I suffered death many tim-'s over. Was treated by six different physicians in McColl, Dillon and Marion, but none of them could do me any irood, until Ur. J. P. Ewiny, of Dillon, came to see me. He told me to try your “ Jcuf.l'MAOIPK.” He got me one bottle of the medicine and I began to take it and before the first bottle was used up I b"iran to get better. I used five and a half bottles and was completely cured. That was two years ago, and my health has been excellent ever since. Have had no symptoms of rheumatism. I regard “Riikumacide” as tty far the best remedy for rheumatism on the market. I cuim t say too much for it. I have recommended it tuothers since and it has cur* d th* m. Will say further, that I began to walk in about sir days after I began to take “ RmcuMACiDE,” with the aid of crutches; In about three months after I began to take it, I could walk as good as anybody, and went back to work again.

In all walks of life there is a demand for he man who can do one particular thing better than any one else, and such a man is one who has confined his endeavor to, and centered all of his energy and ability on the specialty he has chosen for hie life’s work. Early in my professional career I realized that Chronic Di-easet were not being given the attention which their importance warranted. I saw th'.t these diseases required a special fit ness which the busy practitioner could never acquire. For more than twenty years I have de voted myself exclusively to the study and treatment of these diseases, and the fact that physi cians recommend me to their patients is a i evidence of my skill and ability m my special line. I give special counsel to physicians with obstinate and ob cure cases. I have devoted particular attention to chronic diseases < f men ami women, and no othtt class of disease requires more intelligent and expert treatment. It is a fact that a majority <jf men owe the seriousness of their condition to improper treatment, and a failure to realize the importance of placing their case in the hands of a skilled andexpert specialist.
