THE MORNLKG OREGOlTCAy, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1901.
FIRM TO THE END
MjvCorbett's Stand in Pres
ent Contest.
FRIENDS ARE REMAINING LOYAL
He Points Out That Members of the
.Multnomah Delegation on Their
Declared Platform, Have
Freedom of Choice.
Ex-Senator Corbett -was asked at his
residence last evening what he thought
of the situation at Salem. In regard to
his candidacy for the United States Sen
ate, and he replied that he felt more con
fident of his success than at any time
since the legislature met. "My friends
are standing by me loyally," he said,
"and members from Southern Oregon,
Eastern Oregon, as well as those from
Marlon, Polk, Yamhill and other counties,
have shown their determination to remain
steadfast to the end. How about Clack
amas County? Joint Representative Dres
ser, of Clackamas and Multnomah Coun
ties, was known as a Corbett man prior
to the June election last Summer, when
he called upon me, and he promised at
that time to give me his loyal support In
case he was nominated and elected, and
I consider his word to be relied upon. Sen
ator Brownell voluntarily wrote to a per
sonal friend of mine prior to the June
election, pledging his earnest support In
case I was a candidate for the United
States Senate.
"The other two members of Clackamas
County were known as Corbett men when
nominated. Senator Porter has slgnlfled
his Intention of giving his loyal support
to Mr. McBride for a proper length of
time, after which. In case of no election,
he feels at liberty to vote for another, and
will likely Join the majority."
"Do you propose to stand firmly as a
candidate to the end?"
"I do, most emphatically. Two years
ago, when I was a candidate and knew
that a majority of the caucus was in my
"&vor, I withdrew, after Ave days, of
balloting, in the interest of harmony,
although some of my friends felt sure I
could have been elected If I had not with
drawn. If any one withdraws this time. It
should be the minority candidate. Some
of my friends blamed me for withdrawing
In 1899, and I don't propose to Incur their
displeasure this time.
"As to the members of the Multnomah
delegation elected on the Citizens ticket,
their platform, published Just prior to the
June election last year, gave them perfect
freedom as to their choice of a Senatorial
candidate. They are thus pledged to no
one particular candidate, and It is for
them to ohoose the man whom they think
can serve the state the best."
GLASS FOR BIG SKYLIGHT.
Southern Pacific New Shops "Will
Soon Be Enclosed.
A carload of glass was received yester
day by the Southern Pacific for the sky
lights of the new machine shops building,
and the glaziers have begun work. They
will put In 800 panes of glass 18 Inches
wide by eight feet long, to complete the
it of the building. Owing to the
arge order, there has been delay In filling
It, but as the glass has started to come,
It la expected that work will proceed right
along. Other portions of the building
have been held back on account of the
roof not being Inclosed, but the Inside
may now be completed. Contractor
Bridges was on hand yesterday, and hopes
to put a force at work laying the floor
&t once, and get the building completed
la soon as possible. Pipes for steam
teating have been laid, so the floor may
B put down Some of the new machln
ry wbjoh will be used In the structure
has been on hand for some time, and will
shortly be placed on the concrete founda
tions prepared for It This building, with
the machinery, will cost between $75,000
and $80,000. It is not yet known which of
the other buildings of. the series will be
put up this year, and it Is understood that
this will depend on the decision of Presi
dent Hays, who Is expected to visit this
division of the Southern Pacific system
this Spring. It Is thought the blacksmith
and boiler shop, which will stand west
of the machine shops, will be next built.
It will be 123x143. Plans are prepared for
10 buildings. The grounds are all graded
and tracks laid, so work can proceed on
the other buildings whenever the order
Is Issued.
Preparing for the Boating? Season.
The Oregon Yacht Club, whose unique
boathouse Is moored near the east end
of Madison bridge. Is making preparations
for an early and active boating season,
and many new and handsome yachts will
be seen on the river this year. Last year's
craft are drawn well out upon the beach,
undergoing repairs and receiving new fit
tings The greatest Interest centers In
the new yachts known to be under con
struction, as the builders are proceeding
with the work as quietly as possible and
keeping the details of their craft under
cover. Clarence Jones, who built the Lark,
which was so speedy last year, has a
yacht building that will be up-to-date and
speedy. Todd & Dodge are putting up an
elegant yacht on East Washington street
, that will cut through the water with
great speed. Seth Catlin. Lu "Woodward
and Bud Austin have a fine yacht under
construction that will be a" hummer, as
well as a beauty. They know how to put
up a fine craft. Mr. Johansen will have a
yacht on an Australian plan. John "Wolff
has the model for a handsome craft. Mr.
"Wolff built the Swallow and the Helen!
wnlch were famos In the past. Wilson
Brothers also are building a yacht for the
coming eeason. All these yachts will be
larger and better built than any that have
yet sailed on the Willamette River, and
the club will hav a fleet of boats that Us
members may Justly be proud, of. Work

ment of all Its bonded indebtedness. The
13-milI levy made this year, with the 13000

their plans a year ago to pay the bonds
as they become due by two levies.
Summers Camp, No. 1, Spanish-Philippine

AUDIENCE WAS DISMISSED.
Concert of Schramm Children Ended
Unfortunately.
Before the programme at the concert
given at the Marquam last night by Palo
ma and Karl a Schramm was half com
pleted, the father of the children appeared
before the footlights and announced that
he was dissatisfied with the treatment
ht had received at the hands of the man
agement of the theater, and would not
allow the concert to proceed till he had
received a statement of the night's re
ceipts. A few minutes later, the assistant
manager of the theater, W. B. Pangle,
who had been called by the treasurer at
the commencement of Schramm's address,
appeared and dismissed the audience, in
forming them that their money would be
refunded at the box-offlce. In the lobby
Schramm made further remarks to the
people as they were passing out, alleging
that he had not been fairly used by the
theater, and that he thought he was not
going to receive all the money be was
entitled to.
The trouble appeared to be that there
was not enough money In the house to
suit Schramm, who Is under contract with
H. W. Laugenour to have his children
give concerts for a certain percentage
of the receipts. All the contracts with
the theater, and all of the advertising
and other contracts were made by Lauge
nour, and It was to him, and not to
Schramm, that the theater was responsi
ble. Laugenour said last night that he
was sure the theater had used him with
perfect fairness, and was so firm In his
belief that Schramm had acted unwisely
that he decided to sever all connection
with him. "My contract with Schramm, '
said Laugenour, "provided that he was
to give the concerts, or rather have his
children give them, for a certain percent
age of the receipts, the amount of which
is not material. I have carried out my
part of the contract, and the theater has
used me squarely. There was not enough
money in the house to give Schramm a
handsome profit, but that was not the
fault of the theater, and, anyway, his
grievance, If grievance he had, concerned
me. and not the theater management. He
had no business to expect a statement
from them, or to quarrel with them. He
seemed, however, to be convinced that a
conspiracy to cheat him existed some
where, and demanded a statement from
the theater early in the evening. Of
course. It was impossible to give it to him
then, for It takes some time to count up,
and, angered at not receiving something
to which he had no right whatever, he
Insulted the audience. As soon as I
learned what he had done, I Informed
him that my contract with him was at an
end, and henceforth he can get along
without me."
Assistant Manager Pangle, In speaking
of the affair said:
"I was called into the theater by the In
formation that Mr. Schramm was holding
the performance, which he did in the in
termission, and finding that he had made
a statement reflecting on the theater, the
only thing left for me to do was to dis
miss the audience and refund their mon
ey. It was no time nor place for the dis
cussion of the differences that existed. We
have treated Mr. Schramm as we would
any other man, fairly and honorably, and
any charges he had to make. It is need
less to say. were uncalled for. We made
no contract with Mr. Schramm himself,
conducting all business through Mr.
Laugenour. his manager, who Is perfect
ly satisfied that we have acted as much
In his Interests as in ours. It was un
fortunate that the business was not
larger, but even had there been only 10
people in the house. Mr. Schramm would
have had no right to address them."
The Schramm children. Paloma and
Karla. have been under the management
of Laugenour since November, and have
done a good business up to last night,
their engagement in Portland, which, for
some reason, has been unsuccessful. The
home of the Schramms Is in Los Angeles.
The numbers that were given were
greatly enjoyed. The audience made up
In enthusiasm what it lacked In numbers.
The heartiest sort of greeting was given
the two talented little artists. Paloma
gave a Beethoven Rondo, a Bach Glgue,
with the same remarkable musical intelli
gence which had astonished her listeners
the night before on the Bach numbers;
the Liszt transcription of Schubert Sere
nade: and a Chopin Valse, op. 70. No. 1.
The last of these was rendered with de
lightful delicacy and grace, that could
not fall to charm all Chopin admirers.
Karla received quite an ovation for her
playing of the Field Nocturne and Durand
Concert Valse. In response to the encore,
she gave the Chopin Valse, op. 64. No. L
Karla, who Is only 8 years old, certainly
has made an extraordinary advance In
her art since her former visit to Port
land, and reflects great credit upon her
sister Paloma, who takes a lively Interest
In teaching her what she herself has mas
tered with such success.

C. Stanton, of New York, and The As
toria Company, of New Jersey, in the
United States Circuit Court, for the prof
Its arising from bonus and subsidy pro
cured for the construction of the Astoria
Railroad. They allege that In April,
1894, Stanton entered Into a parole asrse
ment with themselves and James T.
Campbell, to secure a right of way and
certain bonuses and subsidies for the
construction of a railroad from Goble to
Astoria. One-third of the profits were
to go to Stanton, one-third to Campbell,
and one-third to the Moores. In Novem
ber, 1894, Stanton entered into a right of
way contract with Hammond, E. L. Bon

Because one or more members of
the Multnomah delegation to the Leg
islature, elected on the Citizens ticket,
are voting for Mr. Corbett for Sena

faithfulness to pledges. Now the fact
is that all the candidates on the Citi

as to United States Senator, in these
words:
We accept tho nomlr-ations tendered us
upon the "Citizens Ticket" wltfhout having
expressed or having been asked our pref

States Senate. We most solemnly avow
that we are entirely unpledged for any
candidate for that Important position, and
we each promise that we will, If elected,
exercise our best Judgment as to whom
we will support; and. being uninfluenced
by any selfish consideration, swill, when
the time comes, vote for such person as In

ner refused to co-operate with them
selves, Stanton, Kimball and Campbell,
as they had agreed. Disregarding the
contract, Hammond built the railroad and
had the subsidies transferred to him.
Hammond pretends to have conveyed to
the Astoria Company all of the land re
ceived by him except what has been sold.
The Moores allege that the Astoria Com
pany Is not a bona fide holder.
Plaintiffs allege that Hammond got
$1,000,000 worth of land in Clatsop for
building the road. They ask that Ham
mond be ordered to account for all prop
erty acquired or earned by him for the
building of this road, and that they be
adjudged the owners of an undivided
two-thirds of four-ninths of the lapd sub
sidy, and that the Astoria Company be
adjudged as to the undivided portion
thereof to hold It as trustee for com
plainants. Case Dismissed.
The suit of the North Pacific Wood
Company against the Storey-Kern Fuel
Company, for $300 damages, because of the
alleged wrongful possession and use by
defendants of two blocks In Bourne's Ad
dition, was dismissed without prejudice
In Judge Frazer's court yesterday. The
jury was drawn, and Thomas N. Strong,
attorney for the plaintiff, stated that Mr.
Peterson, the principal witness on his
side of the case, was sick. He submitted
an affidavit as to what the witness would
testify to, but the defendants refused to
admit all of it, for the reason that some
of the evidence was not within the alle
gations of complaint, and would not be
admissible, even if Peterson were present.
The dismissal followed, while plaintiff's
counsel did not concede defendant's po
sition. The Storey-Kern Fuel Company,
as a defense, asserts that the company
has an oral lease from plaintiff at $25 per
month.

lieving their statements that they were
skilled In the use of medicine. Tognlotta
alleges that he consented to their treat
ing his thumb, and that they saturated
a cloth with carbolic acid and tied It
around the wound. The acid, he avers

thumb amputated.

verdict was sealed, according to the in
structions of the court. The defendant is
19 years of age. It Is stated that some
of the jurors were willing to give the
plaintiff $5000, but other Jurors would not

ORIDE'S SHREWD GAME
UNWRITTEN HISTORY OP THE LEG
ISLATtJRE OF 1885.
Hovr the General Appropriation BUI
Was Manipulated In the'
Senator's Interests.
This Salem Capital Journal thus de
scribes the methods by which Senator
McBride secured his election in 1895:
The Oregon Senatorshlp should not be
secured again by making the appropri
ation "bill as It was done in 1895. The
danger that stares this Legislature in the
face is that tho . committees of the two
Houses of this Legislature that make the
appropriations will be controlled and or
ganized in the Interest of Mr. McBrlde's
second term. That was done In the Legls
latureofl895,whenMr. McBride made him
self Senator. I. L. Patterson, of Marion,
was chairman of the committee in the
Senate. Joseph A. Wright was chairman
of the same committee in the House
ways and means. The editor of the Journal
was on the House committee and so were
other gentlemen now in the city who can
correct this account If it varies In any
particular from the facts.
The Republican state convention had
revolted at the McBride regime as Secre
tary of State ,and had ordered a new deal.
A state platform for economy and reform
had been adopted by the Republican state
convention and nearly all the county con
ventions. If ever there was a time when
a Legislature should have been left alone
to do the best work It was capable of, it
was the session that opened when Mr.
McBride ended his long term as Secretary
of State. Claiming to be very ill he re
mained in his rooms "at the State House,
and Senator Patterson and Mr. Wright,
of the House, threw their two committees
into one and notified the joint committee
that they would have a draft of the ap
propriation bill prepared and at an early
day submit It to the committee for Its
consideration. This was dne and when
the joint appropriations committee of that
Legislature met near the close of the ses
sion, and for the first time saw the bill,
Mr. McBride, then a private citizen, ap
peared with It to explain its provisions.
He had made every line of it while in the
retirement of his ostensible sick chamber,
and to say that his friends and political
lieutenants were provided for, is not draw
ing it too strong.
But to go on with the history of the
appropriation bill of 1895, that helped make
McBride Senator. At Its first meeting
the committee stood six to four for cut
ting all the padding out of the bill. A
number of jobs were stricken out of it,
when, to the surprise of the uninitiated
the committee adjourned. When next It
met It stood six to four for the bill at
McBride had drawn it. and so it went
without further material amendment to
the House, where, under the Constitution,
all appropriation bills should originate,
but where this one did not originate, for
It originated with Mr. McBride. In the
House the reform elements struck out
many of the most obnoxious items, but
In tho Senate, of that session, which was
not a reform body, they were mostly re
stored, and Mr. McBrlde's bill went
through pretty nearly as It passed, and
the conference put the finishing touches
on the measure In the closing hours of the
session, In the last quarter of an hour of
whloh session McBride had his name
sprung for United States Senator by Rep
resentative Cleeton, and was elected, be
cause, like the bullfrog In the comic song,
"there wasn't nothing else to do."
The Journal warns this Legislature to
keep a sharp lookout that Mr. McBride
docs not get to make the appropriation bill
at this session. If his supporters can
get control of making up the appropri
ations their friends will not suffer. No
one believes they would buy votes In so
bold and public a manner, but judicious
appropriations for different sections of
the state will not be an obstacle to Mc
Brlde's success If he Is given the oppor
tunity through his supporters of making
those appropriations. We do not say
other aspirants might not be tempted to
do tho same thing, but Mr. McBride has
a record on this matter, and the members
of this Legislature are cautioned to see
If the same kind of work will not be un
dertaken again In making the appropri
ation bill.
The best proof that McBride made
that appropriation bill Is found in the
fact that In the Immediate future, and
before he went to take his seat In Wash
ington to succeed Dolph, Mr. McBride
was presented by Senator Patterson and
Representaltve Wright with a $150 gold
medal for his services In making the ap
propriation bill of 1895, a labor which
they could not entrust to a Legislature
elected upon a reform platform at a time
when the Republican party of Oregon sup
posed It had rid Itself forever of the
extravagant methods and ruinous policies
of the McBride regime. This Is what
will be attempted again at this present
session If members do not keep their eyes
open and keep control of making the ap
propriations within their own organiza
tions. FOUNDED AN IOWA CITY.
The Late S. S. White Built First
House In Ilurllngton.
A copy of the Burlington Haweye of
January 16 has been sent to The Ore
gonlan, containing the following- notice
of the death of Judge S. S. White, of
this city:
"We are in the 'habit of speaking of
old Burlington as If she had a history
that dated back to revolutionary times.
We refer to matters as happening here
In the early times and yet the man who
built the first cabin, who laid the founda
tion of this thriving, prosperous com
munity, was among the living but a few
short weeks ago. The news came from
Portland, Or., that Samuel S. White
passed away in that city on the 6th day
of the month.
"A number ofourolderresldents, notably
Dr. Salter and Mrs. Nancy Hllleary, re
member Mr. White, who was familiarly
known as Simpson White. He was one. of
three brothers-in-law who came to what
now is Burlington in the Fall of 1829 the
others were Amzl Doollttle and Milton
McCarver. They built the first cabins at
the mouth of Hawkeye Creek, the White
cabin being on the south side, near where
the big Burlington elevator now stands.
The original settlers were squatters on In
dian lands, and were driven off by United
States troops, but returned later to be
left in undisturbed possession. The coun
try at that time was a beautiful wilder
ness. The hills were covered with splen
did forests, abounding with game. It
was a veritable hunter's paradise. The
early settlers killed a bear a few days
after their arrival near where the City
Hall now titands. It is difficult for the
younger generation even to imagine the
site of the original settlements, or to
form a proper conception of the hard
ships, trials and privations of the early
settlers, who should be held In grateful
remembrance. It would be eminently
proper If the necessary steps were taken
to secure a plcttrre of the founder of Bur
lington for our gallery-of local history In
the new Library building."

THE ONLY REMEDY
THAT ALWAYS CUR
Senator Dwyer Gives Full Credit to Paine's
Celery Compound.
Paine's celery compound has been for
years, and is now, the general prescrip
tion of most eminent practitioners of med
icine in this country. It Is the result of
the best scientific knowledge and research
of the last quarter of a century. It Is in
no sense a patent medicine, and for that
reason more physlplans of high standing
are using, prescribing and recommending
It than any other remedy.
Senator Dwyer had used various medi
cines, and they had done him no good.
Just how Paine's Celery Compound was
first brought to his attention he does not
remember, but it has done so much for his
health that It has no more enthusiastic
advocate In the City of Chicago. He gives
full credit to Paine's Celery Compound
for the great Improvement In his health.
"Senate Chamber, General Assembly,
Springfield, III.. Feb. 25, 1900.
"Gentlemen: It Is with sincere pleasure
that I furnish this testimonial to the su
perior merits of Paine's Celery Com
pound. I have found Jt an efficacious and
agreeable remedy for various complaints
which refused to yield to other forms of
treatment, and I can cheerfully recom
mend it. EDWARD M. DWTBR."
Senator Dwyer has held many positions
of trust, both In tho city and state. Elect

PLANS OF THE ZIONISTS.
Dr. Wise Tells of Movement to Aid
Russinn and Roumanian Jews.
Rev. Stephen S. Wise, at the meeting
of the Council of Jewish Women, last
night, told of the plan of the Zionists to
send as large a number as possible of
the persecuted Russian and Roumanian
Jews to Palestine, Dr. Wise declared
that the condition Qt the Jews In Russia
and Roumania Is no better than It was
20- years ago. They are persecuted as
before, and the Jewish position In Russia
is as unendurable as ever it was. Form
erly they were driven out, but today the
government does not drive them out but
into a living grave. It was wonderful, he
said, what the Jews In those countries
have suffered, but there was a limit to
their endurance. Dr. Wise referred to
Disraeli, who thought he had guaranteed
the liberty of "the Jews in Roumania, and
that they would be treated as well as
Christians, and said, "but Roumania, that
miserable little principality, has dared to
treat the Jews as if they were vermin.
Think of men not being allowed to work
at the trade of carpenter, or tinsmith, or
to follow a profession such as a lawyer.
Not 1 per cent of the Jews of Roumania
receive any educatlpn whatever, yet they
pay the bame tax as everybody else."
Speaking of the scheme of the' Zionists,
he said they proposed to take as large a
number of Russian and Roumanian Jews
and from other European, lands to Pales
tine, and make It practicable by treaties
and otherwise for them to make homes
for themselves, obtain farms, and build
factories. They would feel contented in
Palestine, and could work with spirit.
The Roumanian and Russian Jews be
lieved In It, and wanted It, and half the
battle was won. The Zionists had founded
a bank with more than $1,000,000 capital.
The 26 successful colonies established In
Palestine since 1882 was commented upon.
A very appropriate opening address was
made by Mrs. Alexander Bernstein, the
president of the council, who presided
over the meeting. Vocal selections were
rendered by SIgnor and SIgnora Ferrari
and Mr. Hodson, Mrs. Simon Harris acting
as accompanist. '
USE OF MILITIA.
May Form Part of Const Defense
Systemt
NEW YORK, Jan. 29-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Secretary Root goes to. Brooklyn on
Wednesday night to review the Thirteenth
Regiment of New York Heavy Artillery,
National Guard of New York, in
the armory of that organization.
The chief object of the visit of
the Secretary of War to the Thir
teenth Regiment, however, la to secure the
support of that organization, for a plan
he has almost Derfected to have the reg
iment form a part of the coast defense
system of New York, In such exigencies
as may arise at any time and almost with
out warning'.
The secretary's scheme involves the en
couragement of militia artillery organiza
tion at such centers as Boston. New York,
Philadelphia, Charleston, New Orleans and
Galvestorr-to prepare themselves for emer
gency by drills and other exercises with
to the Illinois State Senate, in which body
he took a prominent part during last
Winter's session.
Senator Dwyer has recommended
Paine's Celery Compound to many of his
friends, and has yet to hear anything but
tho most favorable results from any one
of them.
Busy men and women threatened with
failure of nerve force and showing the
effect of too prolonged, too hard, or too
anxious work by periods of languor, de
pression, nervousness, dyspepsia, or other
signs of nerve exhaustion, will find
Paine's Celery Compound an lnvigorator
as superior to all other remedies as mod
ern scientific methods are superior to old
fashioned, inaccurate ones.
When Paine's Celery Compound Is used,
other members of the family are quick
to see the great gain In health.
Paine's Celery Compound is the one
known nerve feeder and nerve restorative.
By Its means all tho functions of tho body
receive a fresh supply of nerve food. It
encourages the body to produce an abund
ant supply of this indispensable vital force
without which there can be no health,
strength, nor happiness In living. From
the lack of nerve force men and women
are driven to despondency, melancholy.
Insanity and suicide.
There will be no neuralgia, no persist
ent headaches, no dyspepsia, no haunting
pain over the eyes, no nervous exhaustion,
if Paine's Celery Compound is used.
heavy seacoast ordnance, and to this end
he would have selected National Guards
men make tours of duty In these fortifi
cations in times of peace. With the in
crease of the artillerymen of the regular
service, provided by the new army bill,
the force will even then be barely large
enough to take care of the great weapons
on a peace footing, and without some such
plan as is now proposed foreign compli
cations might well cause panics In the
great American ports.
It la the secretary's belief that such an
artillery organization as the Thirteenth
can make itself of Inestimable value to
the metropolis and to the Nation If It
can prepare Itself to become an efficient
auxiliary on short notice. Other branches
of the Army can be quickly recruited and
whipped Into shape, but .artillerymen can
not be hastily Improvised. Strategists
and military experts are agreed that had
Spain possessed a Navy large enough to
draw off the American fleet some of tho
great cities of the United States would
have been dependent almost wholly on tho
doubtful efficiency of the mine fields in
the absence of sufficient skilled men fa
miliar with modern high-powered rifles.

CARRIED TOO FAR.
The Fear of Being-Deceived or Hum-
bugrged Prevents Many People
From Trying a Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure, that peo
ple are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical perma
nent cure for dyspepsia and Indigestion.
Many such people pride themselves on
their acuteness in never being humbugged,
especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged con be
carried too far, so far In fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims

versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab

from ordinary patent medicines for tho
reason that they are not a secret patent
medicine; no secret Is made of the ingred

Seal and diastase. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on any
particular organ, but they cure indiges

has time to ferment, sour and cause tho
mischief. This is the only secret of their
success.
Cathartic pills never have and n wer can
cure Indigestion and stomach troubles,
because they act only on the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is la ths stom

meals, digest the food. That is all there
is to it. Food, not digested or half di
gested, is poison, as It creates gas, 'acidi

troubles, which are often called by soma
