A Docto's Strange Crime.

A crime of a rrmarki-ble and novel character came to light here tod*y. (wrote a Vienna correspondent re« cenily.) Dr Towka, a well known medical writer, and an aurist with m large piaotice at Budapest!), left hii house during the Christmas week, and came with his wife to Vienna. When he returned he discovered that hii house had been broken into, and that jewels and papers to the value of 190,000 crowns had been taken from the safe, In addition to all the valu able papers, eight oil paintings were taken, and a collection of rare anato mical preparations was entirely de stroyed.

The papers were discovered by by the police, Securities belonging to Br Towka had been sold in Vienna whilst their owner was in the Austrian capital. The police telegraphed to the physician to come here and explain matters, Dr Towka left his own re sidence, bat instead of going to the railway station he entered a strange house in a retired etreet and threw himself out of a fourth storey window. Death was instanteous, He left be hind a letter stating that nervous troubles had driven him to suicide, bttt doubts quickly arose as to tbe accuracy of his Btaterotfut.

It appears that Dr Towka had in sured hia property against burglary for 200,000 crowns, so that in any case he would have lost nothing, further research in Budapest!, and Vienna re vealed the fact that he had broken in to his own house and sold his securities in Vienna, having disguised himself with a false beard. He at once re ported hia alleged loss to the polioe and the "insurance office. On perceiving the suspicions of the police he com mitted suicide. 'The doctor, who wat only lately married, was wealthy and respected. Conjecture is busy in sug gesting motives for the crime, but up to the present the real cause remain! unknown.

September 3, 1901 DEAR Sir,—Possibly the short account contained in this latter, in reference to the nse of PLANTEKOA OINTMENT, may be of interest to you. We had just removed from Blackbrldge to the Nai Nai when my daughter Ethel had the misfortune to step on a broken tumbler, making a fearful gash, cnttlng into the ball of the foot and laying open the big toe In bwo halves. Wo had ib attended to, bub it seemed to be getting worse, when, abonb five days after the accident, we were advised to use PLAN TEKOA OINTMENT, being assured'that PLANTEKOA wonld soon heal lb. At this time it was very bad, the foot swollen and hard, and the wound had an angry fiery appearance, and looked as if blood poisoning was setting In. However, we faithfully applied Plantekoa Ointmenb, and without going into details, eoftlce bo say thab in a short time bhe foot was healed, she was able to put her boots on and attend school again. I would also like to state that I used Plantekoa Ointment for my son, who had a gathering or abscess in the eae. He waa home from work for some time with ib and was In a bad stabe. The discharge from the ear was of such a character bhat lb would set up Irritation on the side of the face, and the pain was very severe. In bhia case Plantekoa Ointmenb waa success*: fully applied, and in a few days my son resumed work. I cannot recommend Plantekoa Ointment too highly. Yonrs sincerely, j Mbs Jane Swan. ' This wonderful ointment ought fco be In every home, nob only to be there In case of accident or emergency, bub for everyday purposes, its uses are legion. Ib Is sold by all the leading storekeepers and chemists ab 2s per large box, or sample boxes for sixpence, while to meet bhe demand for this ointment from farmers and others, tor use with horses aud cattle, ib has been placed on the market in half pound tins ab 4s 6d* Unsurpassed for sore shoulders, girth galls, etc. Have you tried PLANTEKOA, the Greab Herbal Remedy for the Blood Manning & U o's NEW SEASON'S BOTTLED ALES AND STOUT, -_— IN QUARTS AND PINTS, THB BESTIiFtHB MARKET Equal to the Leading Brands of j ENGLISH ALES. i - i Agents for Ashburton~M__ssKS Shear j m>n Bbos ROBS' ANDITOTE & OINTMENT; THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.

I have, been a greab sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigeption, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almosb a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almosb every known one bub. yours, and one day some eighteen months aa;o a genbleman came into bhe shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, yon look very ill' (and you may depend I was), Re added, * Will you take some medicine if I procure lb ; I replied I will take anything. He brought me a bobble of your Antidote, ana I took ib accordingly as directed, and bo my delighb I began ts geb well, and after baking three large bottles I was a new man—thanks to your greab discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with Ib bhat such a medicine meribs.
