THE MOILING OKEGONIAN. THUKSDAT, FEBRUARY 1, 1900.
HAS GONE TOO FAR
Treasonable Utterances in the
Senate Receive a Check.
PETTIGREW IS WITHOUT SUPPORT
Proteased. Debate on Cnrrency Bill
Premised Simon's Bill for En-
IsretBC the Portland Postofflce.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 3L Patriotic sen
ators aa,ve determined to resent the utter
ances and prevent the circulation, under
United States frank and Indorsement by
the United States government, of the trea
sonable utterances of the Agulnaldlsts in
the senate. The cantankerous Pettlgrew
has gone further than any democrat in
his abuse of the administration and sup
port of the Filipinos. He has gone as
far as Atkinson or any of the other anti
expansionists. Indications are now that
he ha6 received a check, and that the sen
ate has decided to put a stop to the cir
culation of the slanders -which he is try
ing to force upon the country, under gov
ernment frank. The righteous indigna
tion of men like Lodge, Spooner, Sewell
and Gallinger was aroused today, and
een Teller, who was influenced to leave
the republican party by Pettlgrew, and
who followed him as far as he could, felt
compelled to call a halt and announce that
he was no longer in sympathy with the
only other man in the senate calling him
self a sliver republican. The assaults of
these men told heavily on the South Da
kota senator today, and he showed very
plainly that he was a man without a party
and without support. The men who de
nounced Pettlgrew today are not afraid of
the effect his speeches will have upon the
politics of this country, as they believe
that every time he talks he makes sup
porters for the administration and votes
for the republican party. But it is be
cause the ignorant Filipinos are made to
believe that they are receiving support in
the United States senate that these ob
jections are raised.
Debate on Currency Bill.
It is probable that from now on more
attention will be given to the considera
tion of the currency bill In the senate.
The general belief that the bill will be
entirely remodeled and practically made
by the committee on conference between
the houses has had the effect of holding
off debate on the senate measure, because
no one can tell exactly what the bill will
be when it is finally agreed on.
There is an intimation of quite a pro
longed debate when the conferees report.
There is considerable fault found witti
the senate bill on the house side, and
the senate conferees will have reason to
modify their views when demands are
made by the house.
May "Withdraw Reciprocity Trentle.
So earnest has become the opposition
to the various reciprocity treaties which
were negotiated under the Dlngley tariff
law. that republicans are urging the presi
dent to withdraw them in order to prevent
their defeat by republican votes. The
president and secretary of state are in
earnest in support of the treaties, but may
consent to have them postponed, owlns
to the very vigorous oposltlon that Is be
ing made. The attack by the woolgrowers
has been the most significant, and It has
united a large body of men, who were
strong enough to secure the adoption of
the present wool schedule in the Dlngley
bill, and who will not consent to have it
disturbed by the reduced rates provided
In the Argentine treaty.
Blnc&fcara Will Be Seated.
The action of Governor Taylor, In Ken
tucky, in withholding the certificate from
Blackburn will not affect his admission
to the senate. The prima facie election
of Blackburn will settle his standing :n
the senate, which will not go behind the
returns to the extent of ascertaining the
legality of the recent Kentucky legisla
ture This was established some time ago,
when the governor of Florida refused a
certificate to Call.
To Enlarge Portland Postofflce.
Senator Simon today Introduced a bill
appropriating $169,600 for enlarging1 the
public building at Portland, now occupied
by the postofflce and other government
offices. When enlarged, this building is
to be used exclusively for the postofflce
and United States courts, the other officers
moving to the new building. It Is Sena
tor Simon's intention to have this bill
made a part of the sundry civil appro
priation bill, if there seems to bo no
prospect of getting it through the house.
Race Question In Cong-res.
Not only Southern democrats, but South
ern republicans now in power seem de
sirous of keeping the race question stirred
up, the democrats because it gives them
control of the local officers, and congress
men and the electoral vote for president,
and the republicans because, with negro
support, they can control federal positions
as they do now. The men representing
North Carolina in both house and senate
hae taken occasion to inject the race is
sue and Southern questions into the va
rious debates, with the apparent purpose
of egging on the democrats to denounce
the colored man and to make the usual
onslaught against negro domination.
THE DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Wide Bxtent of Debate on the Indian
Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Under the lati
tude allowed m general debate upon
appropriation bills, the Indian appro
priation till la the house today was
made the occasion for a discussion of a
wide range of subtle questions. Our pol
io in the Philippine Islands, the govern
ment of Puerto Rico, the leasing of our
arid lande. and election methods in the
South, were In turn brought into the are
na. The most interesting debate occurred
oer the latter subject.
A bill was passed for the payment of
the salaries of certain retired officers of
the marine corps. The house then went
into committee of the whole for the con
sideration of the Indian appropriation
bill.
Cooney (dem. Mo.) took occasion In the
debate to deliver an argument against im
perialism. Stephens (dem. Tex.) occupied half an
hour in advocacy of his bill to lease the
arid lands of the West, and use the pro
ceeds for Irrigation purposes.
i-eks (rep. Mich.), who visited Puerto
Kico last summer, discussed the necessity
of fixing the status of the people there at
the earliest possible moment.
Unney (rep. N. C.) deprecated criticism
of the policy of the administration toward
the Phulppines. "While the earth is
drinking the warm bleed of American he
rocs said he. "it Is our duty to stand
j the flag af our country, and the cbm-mander-in-chlef
of our armies. (Applause
01 the republican side.) Llnoey proceed
ed directing his attention to elections and
lynchinsjs in the South. The lack of free
elections, he said, was the only infirmity
of our governmental system. In exact pro
portion as people were deprived of their
vote, he said, the lynchings and assassi
nations were prevalent. Since 11 there
had Veen an average of 11 lynohlngs each
ear ji the South.
V hlte (rep. N. C). the only colored rep
resentative la the house, said: "I have
investigated the lyncMags in the South
and find that lees than 16 per cent of them
are due to the crime of rape. And I de
sire to announce here that if it were not
for the assaults of white men upon black
women there would be lees of the other
class '
Williams (dem Miss.) made a warm de
fense of the acUon of certain Southern
Ctfttt 10 difranchh4nE the Ifittorant and
Illiterate. He declared these states were
preventing the submergence of civilization.
He stated upon his honor that since 1S95
no man had been defeated in office by
force. He frankly avowed that Mississip
pi had sought by her constitution to sup
press the ignorant and illiterate, and the
supreme court had sustained the consti
tutionality of her constitution. In Mis
sissippi, said iie, the law bad been violat
ed by murder, arson and rape, but no
man had ever been shot down because he
wanted to work.
Cochran (dem. Mo.) closed the day with
a speech against the expansion policy of
the administration. It was agreed to close
the general debate at 4. o'clock tomorrow.
The house at 4:50 P. M. adjourned.
THE PLAGUE SITUATION.
Heroic Efforts Taken at Honolulu to
Check: the Disease.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3L The steam
er Australia, seven days from Honolulu,
arrived today and reports that up to the
time of her departure, 41 deaths from
LONDON TIMES MAP OF THAT
plague had occurred, and there was a
total of 52 cases. The Australia had on
board 175 passengers, the largest number
which ever came to this port on a single
steamer from the Hawaiian irlands.
In an effort to stamp out the plague, it
was decided to burn one of the blocks in
Chinatown. The fire was started, and It
gained such headway that the fire depart
ment could not control It. The flames
spread rapidly from one block to another,
and soon the whole Chinese quarter was
destroyed. Hardly a house was left stand
ing in the district. The Chinese and other
residents of the district fled from their
homes In terror, and were unable to save
much of their effects. As a result of the
destruction of the Chinese quarters, 70:0
people were rendered homeless, and they
are now living In tents. .
The fire destroyed 12 blocks, bounded by
Kukul, Queen and Nunau streets. The
most notable building burned was thf
KaumakakpllI, a prominent landmark, and
the most comfortable edifice of Its kind
In Honolulu. It contained a large pipe
organ, valued at $5000. The steamship
Iroquois rendered valuable aid. She put
out two lines of hose which saved the
Honolulu Iron works.
The Australia's passengers were taken
off and placed In the quarantine station
at Angel Island, where they will remain
till tomorrow.
According to advices from Honolulu, the
transport Aztec, which left this port for
HIlo, with 400 mules and horses, may not
attempt to land her -cargo at Hllo. Light
ers would have to be employed, as the
wharf there cannot accommodate the Az
tec. At present the weather conditions
are such that the horses cannot be landed
safely, and It is expected that the Aztec
will have to return to Honolulu.
There was a small riot at the detention
camp at Honolulu the night of the 22d,
owing to the refusal of the authorities to
allow the Japanese to burn a lot of new
lumber for fuel purposes, and because
they were restrained from burning a new
cottage In which one of their number had
died of the plague. The arrival of the
reserves ended the trouble, and a careful
watch Is being kept, as the Japanese are
exceedingly sullen and some have armed
themselves with clubs.
Affairs at Hilo have quieted, and no
more trouble is expected.
Brought hy the Senator.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 3L The trans
port Senator, Which has arrh ed here, left
the transports Ben More and Ohio in
Nagasaki. They are coming here. The
Missouri left Nagasaki before the Sen
ator, and is supposed to have headed for
Honolulu on her way here with some 200
dead and a large number of 111 soldiers.
It was reported that nine of the sick sol
diers died on the Missouri before she left
Nagasaki. The Senator brought the fol
lowing officers: Thirteenth Infantry, Cap
tain W. L. Laterman, First Lieutenant
Pond, surgeon U. S. A.; First Lieutenant
Fitzgerald, surgeon U. S. A.; Quartermas
ter and Commissary Major Bretthani.
Nearly all of the sick soldiers on board are
now convalescent. Those who were de
clared Insane on leaving Manila are the
following: Hospital corps, Frank A. Alt
geld, Milton E. Wallace; Fourth Infantry,
Wm. Schwarzenberg; Thirteenth infantry,
Eugene McKeever and Christopher D. Far
rell; Sixteenth Infantry, James W. Thomp
son and Frank L. Spear; Eighteenth In

Mnson's Boer Resolution.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3L The Mason
resolution In the interest of the Boer re
public received attention at the hands of
the senate committee on foreign relations
today. There was not a full attendance
of members, and definite action upon it
was postponed. The sentiment of the
committee, as expressed by those present,
was practically unanlmously opposed to
action because of the effect upon other
nations than the two Involved in the Af
rican war. This expression was so gen
eral as to make quite certain that no af
firmative action will be taken on tie reso
lution. Z&rlne cigarettes mouthpiece attached

FEDERAL INTERFERENCE
NO ItEASOX FOR SENDING TROOPS
TO FRANKFORT.
Root Thinks the State Authorities
Arc Amply Able to Deal With
the Situation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Secretary
Root is authority for the statement that
there Is nothing In the Kentucky situation
calling for federal interference. He thinks
the state authorities are amply able to
deal with the situation.
It cannot be learned that the change In
the situation in Kentucky, resulting from
I the adjournment of the legislature, has
altered the views of the administration
as to the wisdom and necessity for Inter
vention with troops in state affairs. One
member of the administration asserted
PORTION OF NATAL IN WHICH GENERAL DULLER IS OPERATING.
that regardless of the terminology em
ployed In the news dispatches, the legis
lature ia technically in a state of reqess.
If that be true, of course, the power to
call for troops can not be exercised by
the govemor'at this time. Another mem
ber pointed out that even assuming that
the legislature stands adjourned, the
United States constitution provides that
the governor's call can be recognized only
when the legislature can not be convened
and he wanted to know If it Is asserted
that this state of facts exists. When the
point was made that the United States
troops might go into Kentucky without
call to protect the property of the United
States and the mails and Interstate com
merce, it was suggested that so far It
has not been shown that any of these
Interests are even remotely endangered
by the developments at Frankfort. Alto
gether, as already stated, It Is apparent
that, lacking entirely the disposition to
use troops In behalf of either party to the
complication in Kentucky, the administra
tion will be moved from Its present position
only by some exceedingly radical change
in the condition of affairs.
GOVERNOR TAYLOR'S ADDRESS.
He Calls for the Support of the Law
Abiding Element.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 3L Governor
Taylor, this afternoon. Issued the follow
ing address to the people:
"To the People of Kentucky: The most
lamentable statg of affairs ever experi
enced by our people has rendered prompt
action by the chief executive of the state
absolutely necessary. A long series of un
precedented and unlawful acts practiced
by thdse In charge of the legislative mat
ters of our state has resulted In the most
fearful period to the state. The dreadful
tragedy which occurred yesterday shocked
and startled all, and cannot be more sin
cerely deplored by any one than myself.
"To attempt to legislate under such Con
ditions of excitement and threatened vio
lence as now prevails in Frankfort would
be sheer madness, and I have, therefore.
In the exercise of my constitutional pow
ers, adjourned the legislature to convene
In London, Ky., on February 6.
"I have taken every precaution to pre
serve the peace, that every citizen may
know that life and property are safe, and
will be protected with every resource of
the commonwealth. I trust that In this
laudable effort I will have the support of
every law-abiding citizen of Kentucky.
" "W. S. TAYLOR,
"Governor of Kentucky."
SAYS HE SHOT GOEBEL.
Sheriff of n Mountain County Ar
rested Probably Crazy.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 31. James Sut
ton, sheriff of Whitley county, who came
here from Frankfort last night, Is a pris
oner in the county Jail. At an early hour
this morning, at the "Victoria hotel, Sut
ton went up to the office of the clerk
brandishing two revolvers.
"I am the man who shot Goebel," he
said, "and I will never be taken alive."
The hotel manager promptly sent for the
police, and on the appearance of the latter,
Sutton ran up stairs to the third story,
and when he thought' he was about to
be captured, opened a window and leaped
out. He alighted on his feet, was unin
jured and ran nearly a mile before he
was arrested.
The police believe that Sutton Is either
decidedly unbalanced mentally or that he
knows, who shot Goebel. An effort to In
terview nim after he was lodged in Jail
proved unsuccessful. He lay In a dark
corner of his cell and refused to say a
word.
Goebclltcs to Be Arretted.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 31. A Star special
from Frankfort says Governor Taylor is
having warrants prepared for every mem.
ber of the legislature who has allied him
self with the Gocbclites, charging them
with conspiracy.
Nevr York Brokers Fall.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3L The failure of
Tunstall & Co. was announced on the
stock exchange today. Mr. Tunstall was a
very heavy buyer of Sugar stock yester
day, taking, according to report, 30.000
shares on his own purchase, and 30.000
10 S,060 shares through another broker.
The firm sent this notice to the stock ex
change: "Owing to the bank refusing to' certify

FACTORIES WERE BUSY.
Magnificent Showinc; for the Last
Calendar Year.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Manufactur
ers were apparently the busiest people'ln
this busy country of ours In 1899. They
Increased their Importations of materials
for use in manufacturing 33 per cent over
the busy year 189S, and actually increased
their exportations of manufactures nearly
25 per cent, so that the grand total of
manufactures exported during the year
reaches $380,000,000, and seems likely to
touch the J.400,000,000 line in the fiscal year
which ends June 30. 1900. The exports or
manufactures, which In 1898 averaged $25,
000,000 per month, averaged over 531.000,000
per month In 1699, or more than $1,000,000
for every day in the calendar year. Be-
ginning with $25,806,870 in January, 1899, the
figures grew steadily until December
showed $35,652,053, Deeember and March
of 1899 showing larger exportations of
manufactures than those of any preced
ing month in our history. Not only are
the exports of manufactures In 1899 the
largest in any year in our history, but
they form a larger percentage of our total
exports than those of any preceding year,
the percentage being for the calendar
year 1899, 30.4 per cent; for 1898, 24.9 per
cent, and for 1897, 25 9 per cent.
Taking the entire list of classes of arti
cles composing our Imports and exports,
those relating to manufactures show the
largest gains both as to Imports and ex
ports. In imports, articles In a crude con
dition for use in domestic industries in
creased from $199,255,687 to $267,493,959, an
increase of $68,236,322; articles of food and
live animals, from $187,829,802 to $229,971,385,
an Increase of $42,141,583; manufactured
articles ready for consumption, from $104,
804,809 to $118,339,856, an Increase of .$13,
535,047; articles manufactured for use in
the mechanic arts, from $59,127,686 to $75,
376,005, an increase of $6,248,319, and ar
ticles of voluntary use, luxuries, etc., from
$83,946,514 to $107,664,266, an Increase. of $23,
717.S52, the comparisons in each case be
ing between 1S9S and 1899. In domestic ex
ports, manufactures Increased from $307r
924.994 to $3S0,787,891, an Increase of $72,
862,897; products of the mine, from $25,851,
092 to -$33,279,187, an increase of $7,428,095;
products of the forest, from $39,030,313 to
$47,562,121, an increase of $8,531,806; and
miscellaneous, from $3,016,771 to $3,532,663,
an increase of $515,892, while products of
agriculture decreased from $851,915,762 in
18S8 to $782,105,048 In 1899, a reduction of
$69,810,714. and products of the fisheries
from $5,819,208 to $5,637,077, a reduction of
$182,131.

figures of the Imports and exports by great
classes during the calendar year 1899, com

FUTURE OF' THE PACIFIC
SENATOR PERKINS SPEECH AT
NEW YORK BANQUET.
Necessity of a Trans-Isthmian CanalJ
Self-Government for the Fillpi3o1
When They Are Fit For It.
..
NEW YORK, Jjin. 31. Three hundred
members of the New York board of trada
and transportation sat down to the 28th
annual dinner of the organization at the
Waldorf-Astoria tonight. The guests' ta
ble was a perfect bower of roses and ivy.
and the balconies and walls were likewise,
hung heavily with cut flowers.
The toasts were && follows: "The Pres
ident of the United States"; "The State
of New York"; "Our Foreign Policy,"
Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska;
"Our Commercial Supremacy," Charles N.
Fowler, of New York; "The Coming Cen
tury," Senator William Lindsay, of Ken
tucky; "California and the Commerce of
the Pacific Coast," Senator George C. Per
kins, of California; "Trade and Transpor
tation in the State of New York." General
Francis V. Greene; "The Humorous Sldo
of Politics," Congressman John M. Allen,
of Mississippi.
The spirit of commercial expansion per
vaded all the speeches. The declarations
of Senators Thurston and Lindsay in fa
vor of upholding the national administra
tion In the Philippines were heartily ap
plauded. In the course of his speech, Senator Per
kins said. In part:
"For 50 years California has looked east
ward over the mountains and deserts of
the interior of the continent, for eastward
ran the lines of trade. In future she will
look westward over the broad Pacific, for
westward will the future lines of trade be
run. The battle of Manila marked the end
of one era and the beginning of a new
one for California and the whole Pacific
coast. But California is not the only state
looking upon the Pacific which hails with
Joy the new era. Oregon and Washington
and the great territory of Alaska, parts
of territory once under foreign rule, are
ready for the new life.
"All signs indicate that the Pacific Is to
be the scene of the next period of the
world's progress. We face Asia across
an ocean in which we have points of van
tage that will enable us to make it prac
tically our own.
"There Is a great work wrhlch must be
undertaken at once in behalf of Pacific
commerce the Nicaragua canal. In order
that the United States may be the. center
of the coming trade of the Orient, this
canal must be constructed. The Pacific
coast is now favorably situated to secure
the share which belongs to It. The great
states east of the Rocky mountains are at
a very great disadvantage when compared
with their agricultural and Industrial com
petitors in Europe. But with the opening
of the Nicaragua canal the situation will
be immediately changed. The distance
from New York to Asiatic ports will be so
reduced that the great American metrop
olis will be the center of our Oriental
trade. A waterway across Nicaragua will
at once transfer the present advantage: of
European marts to this side of the Atlan
tic The entire western coast of the two
American continents will be brought near
er to the Atlantic ports by over one-third
the circumference of the earth.
"What kind of government shall be es
tablished In the Philippines in place of
that established is yet to be determined.
Justice to both the Filipino and the Amer
ican must be maintained. Until the Fili
pino has, through the Influence of a Just
and numane government, advanced Jn civ
ilization to the point reached by American
labor In the field and in the manufactory
he must and should be contented with
having afforded him the means of rising
to that standard. That means will be giv
en him in due time, and every encourage
ment will be given him to become capable
of understanding, appreciating and right
ly using the privilege granted to the peo
ple of the United States."
In response to persistent calls, Senator
Hanna addressed the assemblage, taking
as his theme the shipping subsidy bill. His
assertion that the measure would be en
acted Into law was greeted by thunderous
applause.
Kansas Town Burned.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31. A special to the

Hundreds of Your Friends Are Taking Advan
tage of the $5 Rate of Drs. Copeland and
Montgomery, and Being Cured of Long
Standing Troubles by These Specialists
They Furnish the Most Scientific Treatment
of AH Diseases for $5 a Month, Medicines
Included.
Until the Inno-ratlo'n made by Dn.
Copeland and Montgomery, in plac
ing xncdlcnl skill and thorough sci
entific treatment for all diseases
within the reach of all hy makinjr
their total charge for treatment nnd
medicines at $5 a month, It was al
most Impossible -for people in moder
ate clrcnmstances to obtain the aid
of skillful and conscientious special
ists. It was, and still in, for that
matter, a frequent occurrence to
hear complaints made over the ex
cessive fees charged by those claim
ing: to be specialists. Drs. Copeland
and Montgomery's charge is bat fS a
month, including: all medicines, and
the time required for a cure under
their system Is shorter than that oc
cupied by any other method. More
over, their cures are genuine and
permanent. The fact, that, in spite
of their well-established and fairly
earned reputation for honest work,
skillful treatment and successful
results, they still maintain this low
charge of J?5 a month, shows that
they aim not alone at financial suc
cess as practitioners, bnt us well at
the accomplishment of the greatest
possible good in the community.
Their practice, which has long been
several times larger than any other
in this city, is jtill constantly in
creasing, demonstrating continually
that the public appreciates low
charges when combined with un
questionable skill, thoroughness
and professional honesty.
THESE SPEAK
CURED OF A VERY
SEVERE AND DANGEROUS
THROAT TROUBLE
Mr. Lecester Snipes, The Dalles,
Or., well known In the vicinity, having
been born and raised In that busy little
city. In speaking or his treatment and
cure of a severe case of catarrh com
plicated with bronchial trouble, Mr.
nlpes said:
"My troQble came on about 15 years ago
as a result of exposure, and In spite of
all I could do I grew gradually worse
each year and suffered more intensely.
"My home physicians were unable to
da anything for me more than afford a
little temporary relief. Some of the doc
tors I consulted said I had asthma, and
one of the very best physicians on- the
coast diagnosed my case as consumption,
and said my only hope was In a ohange
of climate. I held a very fine position at
that time, which I gave up at a great
sacrifice, and did as he advised. I stayed
away until I seemed entirely well, but
Just as soon as winter set In my trouble
returned and I suffered worse than ever.
Mr. Lecestcr Snipes, The Dalles, Or.
"My head wa3 stopped up and I had
headache all the time. My throat was
dry and sore and I had a distressing
cough, accompanied by pains In the chest
and a soreness through the left lung.
After I went to bed there would be a tick
ling in the throat, which set me to cough
ing. The air passages seemed to contract
and close up. I would sit up in bed,
sometimes the greater part of the night,
coughing and gasping for breath. I often
thought I would choke before I could
get relief. After coughing until I was
completely exhausted I would raise a lot
of stringy mucus, which gave me relief,
but the next night it was the same old
story. Under this suffering and loss of
sleep I lost flesh and strength.
"I had doctored until I had but little
confidence in doctors or medicine, but
this fall, on the urgent advice of a friend,
who was personally acquainted with the
great success of the Copeland treatment
In cases like mine, I decided to make one
more effort for relief, for I felt I could
not spend another winter In suffering and
misery. I began to Improve from the first
and now feel as well as I ever did In
my life. The winter Is almost over now
and although I have been out in all kinds
of weather, I have not had one bit of
trouble. This Is the first winter in IS

CATARRH OF STOMACH
AND BOWELS
BIr. J. H. Otto, 274 Fourth street,

course of treatment at the Copohuid In
stitute for a catarrhal trouble, affecting
ray head, stomach and bowels, the result
of an attack of Panama fever 30 years
before. At that time I was in my 63d

a cure, hut under the Treatment given
me my catarrh got well and my stomach
and bowels healed. My appetite returned
and I gained in weight and strength I

Miss M. A. Taylor, 440 East Sher
man street, Portland. I suffered from
catarrh since childhood. The worst of my
trouble was In my stomach and bowels
Everything I ate gave me great distress
followed by bloating and belching. My
stomach was sore and tender. I had dlar
rhoea, with gas and gurgling In the bow
els. The disease affected my ears and I
had a ringing and buzzing in the left ear
and my hearing was very dull. I began
a eourse of treatment at the Copeland
Institute and am thankful to say that now
I am strong and well.
RHEUMATISM AND DEAFNESS.
Mrs. L. H. Clarke, -well known In
and about Portland, residing at Oresham
x am 90 years of age and had suffered for
years with rheumatism and deafness I
was completely erlppled with rheumatism,
being compelled to use crutches all the
time. My deafness came on gradually
but when I began my treatment I was
almost totally deaf. Even my own voice
sounded far off. People had to speak
right into my ears to make me hear I
was nearly distracted with a- ringing and
buzzing and sounds like the roar of the
ocean In y ears. X couldn't eat or sleep
and was weak and nervous.
The Copeland physicians cured me com
pletely. I have no more rheumatism and
hear nearly as well asI ever did in my
life. I consider this wonderful in a wom
an of my age and never fall to give the
Copeland physicians the praise they so
richly deserve.
