TEE OX THE CAXAL TREATY.
Pacific CoaKt Delegations Dlscnsaed
the Chinese Question Houe
Committees Appointed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The Senate
committee on foreign relations today
voted to report favorably the new Hay
Pauncefote treaty, providing for the con
struction of an Isthmian canal. The com
mittee was In session nearly two hours
und went over In detail the provisions ot
the convention. No votes were cast
against It, but It was criticised very
sharply by Senators Money and Bacon,
who found In It many of the objections
which they urged against the old treaty.
They took especial exception to the pro
vision continuing in force the neutrality
provision of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
and also made objection to the clause spe
cifically authorizing the United States to
police the canal as placing a limitation
upon the power of this country abso
lutely to control it. The contention was
made that the effect of the treaty as sent
to the Senate would be to deprive the
United States of control of the canal In
case of war. iispecial attention was
called to the provision in the preamble or
the impending treaty reserving article a
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty from the
repeal provision of the new treaty. The
portion of this article of the old treaty to
which especial objection was made reads
as follows:
"In granting, however, their joint pro
tection to any such canal or railroads as
are by this article specified, it Is always
understood by the United States and Great
Britain that the parties constructing or
owning snail Impose no other charges or
conditions of traffic thereupon than the
aforesaid Governments shall approve ot
as Just and equitable; and thai, the same
canals or railways, being open to the citi
zens and subjects of the United States
and Great Britain on equal terms, shall
alto he open on like terms to the citizens
and subjects of every other state which
is wining to grant thereto such protec
tion as the United States and Great Brit
ain engage to afford."
Senators .Money and Bacon did not go to
the extent of voting against the report
of the treaty, and they acknowledge they
are anxious to see it ratified because ol
their great desire to have the canal built.
Still they insisted that the treaty as It
now stands is very objectionable in case
of the contingency of war.
Senator Fryc presided over the meeting
and he asked Senator Lodge to report the
treaty to the Senate on Monday next in
case there should be an executive session
on that day.
It also was the sense of the committee
that the consideration of the treaty should
be pressed as speedily as possible In the
Senate, some Senators expressing the hope
that action might be secured before the
adjournment for the holidays. The com
mittee also voted to recommend that the
injunction of secrecy be removed from the
treaty.
Senator Bacon moved the revival of the
amendment to the original Hay-Paunce-fote
treaty, which was suggested by Sen
ator Davis, then chairman of the com
mittee. The Senate amendment provided
that nothing in the treaty "should apply
to measures which the United States may
find It necessary to take for securing by
its own forces the defend of the United
States and the maintenance of public or
der." The amendment was voted down.
THE DAY IX THE HOUSE.
Announcement of Committees Ty
Speaker Henderson.
WASHINGTON, Dec 6. In the House
today, after the readlngr and approval of
the journal, Gaines (Dem. Tenn.), who has
just returned from the Philippines, ap
peared at the bar, where the oath of offlcs
was administered to him.
Speaker Henderson then announced the'
appointment of the following committees:
Ways ard means Republicans: Payne
(N. Y.), Dalzell (Pa.), Hopkins (111.),
Grosvenor (O.), Russell (Conn.), Steele
(Ind.), Tawney (Minn.), McCall (Mass.).
Long (Kan.), Babcock (Wis)., Metcalf
(Cal.). Democrats: Richardson (Tenn.),
Robertson (La.), Swanson (Va.), McClel
lan (N. Y.), Newlands (New), Cooper
(Tex.).
Appropriations Republicans: Cannon
(111.), Bingham (Pa.), Hemenway (Ind.),
Barney (Wis.), Moody (Mass.), Van Voor
his (O.), McCleary (Minn.), LIttauer (N.
Y.), Brownlow (Tenn.), Gardner (Mich.),
Burkett (Neb.). Democrats: Livingston
(Ga.). McRae (Ark.), Bell (Colo.), Pierce
(Tenn.), Benton (Me.), Taylor (Ala.).
Enrolled bills Republicans: Wachter
(Md.), Ball (Del.), Burke (Pa.), Turner (N.
H.), Democrats: Lloyd (Mo.), Edwards
(Mont). x
Then at 12:06 P. M. the House adjourned
until Tuesday.
In each of the committees announced
today the majority representation was In
creased one and the minority representa
tion reduced to that extent. This policy
Is to be followed in the appointment of
the other committees. Metcalf Is the new
Republican member on the ways and
mcans commlM.ee, and Brownlow, Gard
ner and Burkett the new Republican mem
bers on the appropriation committee. Wood
of Alabama was the Democrat dropped
from the ways and means committee. The
retirement of Allen of Mississippi
from Congress made It unnecessary to drop
a Democrat from the appropriation com
mittee. Wachter succeeds Baker of the
same state as chairman of the commit
tee on enrolled bills. Baker was not re
elected. The announcement of the appropriation
committee will permit work to begin at
once on the appropriation bills, and the
hope Is expressed by members that the
pension bill, and perhaps an urgent de
ficiency bill, will be passed before the
Christmas holidays. Chairman Cannon
said after the announcement of the com
mittee that he would call the members
together early next week, and would soon
thereafter name the subcommittees which
would prepare the big supply bills. The
pension bill will carry about $138,500,000.
THE CHIXESE QUESTION.
Pacific Const Delegations Met
to
Agree Upon a Policy.
WASHINGTON, Dec C A meeting of
Senators and members of the House rep
resenting the Pacific Coast States was
held today In the committee-room of Rep
resentative Loud for the purpose of agree
ing upon a united policy in the prosecu
tion of legislation for the continued ex
clusion of Chinese from the United States.
Mr. Loud was chosen chairman, and Sen
ator Dubois secretary. There was a large
attendance of members of both political
parties, and the expression of opinion In
favor of vigorous and effective work was
quite general. Senators Mitchell and
Htitfeld and Representative Loud were
especially earnest In urging action. They
took a position In favor of making the
Gearj law Immediately effective, declaring
that the Chinese multitude should be kept
out of the country for all time. Chinese
Inspector Dunn, who Is stationed at San
Francisco, also made an address. In which
he detailed his experiences In this work,
pointing out many evils which he con
tended are Included In the promiscuous
admission of Chinese. A committee of six
was appointed to take the subject In
l-.ind. This committee Is composed of
Senators Mitchell, Heltfeld and Foster
and Representatives Newlands. Metcalf
and Coombs. The committee organized
by electing Representative Newlands
chairman, and Representative Metcalf
secretary.
Representative Kahn, who represents
the San Francisco district containing the
Chinese quarter, in which some 30,000 Chi
nese reside, today introduced in the House
a Chinese exclusion bill. It defines strict
ly the status of those who by treaty have
a right to enter the country, Including all
except Chinese officials, teachers, stu
dents, merchants, travelers and returning
laborers. In each of these excepted cases
a section Is devoted to the rigid identifica
tion and specification of the excepted per
sons. In the case of Chinese officials, the
Chinese Government is required to fur
nish a list of its officials coming to this
country. Mr. Kahn says this will over
come the wholesale creation of officials,
including those of the Six Companies,
who are said to have been made officials
In order to take them outside of the ex
clusion law.
QUESTION OF DISFRANCHISEMENT.
Fleming's Reply to Moody, of Mas-
snehusctts.
WASHINGTON, Dec 6. The proposition
of Representative Moody, of Massachu
setts, for a Congressional Investigation of
the right of Louisiana members of Con
gress to hold their seats, today drew
a rejoinder from Representative Fleming,
of Georgia, who presented a resolution for
the Investigation of the right of Massachu
setts members of Congress to hold their
seats. Moody's resolution asserted that a
certain class of voters were disfranchised
in Louisiana, thus invalidating the elec
tion of the Louisiana RepresentatU'cs. Mr.
Fleming's resolution in part reads:
"Whereas, the Constitution of the State
of Massachusetts, in contravention of the
provision of the Federal Constitution, Im
poses additional qualifications for suffrage
by declaring that no person shall have
the right to vote who shall not he able
to read the Constitution in the English
language and write his name,
"Resolved, That when the said select
committee shall be appointed. It shall
he charged with the further duty of In
quiring and reporting whether the Repre
sentatives of the State of Massachusetts
aro entitled to membership In this House,
and whether representation from said state
should not be reduced."
Hepburn' New Canal Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec 6. Representative
Hepburn, of Iowa, today Introduced his
isthmian canal bill, which by reason of
his being the author of the bill passed
last year, and his probable continuance
at the head of the House commerce com
mittee. Is considered as the measure which
will serve as a bas-s for action by the
House. It differs from the Hepburn bill
passed last year in making the total ap
propriation 5180.000,000 Instead of ?140.000.O00.
Of the total amount, $10,000,009 is mnde im
mediately available to begin work. In
other respects the bill follows that of
last year, authorizing the President to
acquire a right of way from Costa Rica
and Nicaragua, and then to direct the
Secretary of War to begin the construc
tion from Greytown, on the Caribbean Sea,
to Brito, on the Pacific Ocean, with suit
able defenses, etc
Xomination of Attorney-General.
WASHINGTON, Dec. C The Senate
committee on judiciary today authorized
a favorable report on the nomination of
P. C. Knox to be Attorney-General. Op
position to the confirmation was made by
the Anti-Trust League, which filed a pro
test with the committee In which com
plaint is made that Mr. Knox failed to
bring certain suits against organizations
said to be trusts which he was urged by the
league to institute. The committee con
sidered this document at some length, but
concluded that the President should be al
lowed to choose his own advisers, he being
responsible for them.
Anti-Trust Bills.
WASHINGTON. Dec 6. Several anti
trust measures were presented to the
House today. One of them, by Ball of
Texas, proposes the appointment of a spe
cial committee of nine Representatives to
report an anti-trust bill. Criimpacker, of
Indiana, introduced a bill providing for
an amendment to the Constitution, per
mitting Congress to tax the capital stock
and earnings of corporations.
Amending; Apportionment Act.
WASHINGTON, Dec 6. Representative
Crumpacker. of Indiana, has introduced
a bill for the amendment of the appor
tionment act so that members of the
House of Representatives will be 372. The
representation is based on the vote cast
instead of population. It reduces the rep
resentation, in the Southern States and

Pnrcliasc of Danish Antilles.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. Representative
Gardner, of New Jersey, has Introduced a
Joint resolution authorizing the State De
partment to purchase the Danish West
Indies, and appropriating J4.OW.000 for that

sirability of American ownership of these
islands under the Monroe Doctrine.

WASHINGTON, Dec C Representative
Taylor, of Ohio, today Introduced a bill
to pension Mrs. McKInley at the rate of

dent. Anarchist Cheers for CzoIkohz.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6. President McKln
ley's assissin was cheered publicly In
Chicago last night. A challenge from the
platform that anarchists dared not con
done the crime at Buffalo was -met with
a vigorous "You're a liar." Abraham
Isaak, the recognized lcider of the "reds'
in this -city, and editor of Free Society,
declared openly he could not condemn
the assassin's act. He said that as to
personal merit he took a second place
to Czolgosz. The confession of Isaak
was accompanied by a scene of Intense
excitement- It wis the climax of the
debate on "Socialism or Anarchy," and
came when the crowd of over 1700 had
been aroused thoroughly In wild oratori
cal denunciations. "Hurrah for Czol
gosz," shouted a man in the gallery,
swinging his hat above his head. Hisses,
jeers, yells of approval and cat calls
came from all parts of the house. The
crowd rose to Its feet and riot was only
averted by the prompt action of tha
chairman.
Prison Bird Roosted Hlprh.
LONDON, Dec. 6 A convict at the Pen
tonvllle prison, who managed to elude the
warders, established himself on a roof ot
the institution and for 30 hours defied
all attempts to dislodge him. Thousands
of spectators were watching the show and
aiding the prisoner by timely warnings oi
the movements of his would-be captors.
Ladders against the wall were promptly
thrown down by the occupant of the
roof, whose reckless movements and wild
laughter at the futile efforts of the ward
ers were thought to indicate insanity.
The- fugitive collected a large pile of slats
which he gleerully threw at the heads or
the officials who attempted to scale the
walls by means of ladders until they
were forced to retreat. The. convict sur
rendered, this afternoon after defeating
all attempts to dislodge him by force. He
was lured to the ground by the offer of a
dish of roast beef and potatoes.
Xo Transfer of Corea.
ST. PETERSBURG. Dec 6. A state
ment printed In the London newspapers
to the effect that certain diplomats In
AVashlngton thought that the govern
ments of Japan and Russia were negoti
ating the transfer of Corea for the Philip
pine Islands, has created much amuse
ment here. The statement is criticised
as absurd and Impossible and It is fur
ther pointed out that the Interests of
Japan in Corea outweigh any conceivable
substitute for that territory.
It is now firmly believed that peaceful
relations between Russia and Japan are
definitely assured and that there is no
friction between the two governments.
Marquis Ito was thoroughly pleased with
his reception here.

Matter Discussed Yesterday by the
Republican Members of the
Wnys and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON. Dec 6. The Republi
can members of the ways and means
committee met Informally after the ad
journment of the House today and talked
over the needs of Philippine tariff legis
lation. The discussion continued through
the afternoon and although no definite
announcement was made, it is said that a
measure will probably be ready for pre
sentation to the committee next week
with the prospect of being reported to the
House without delay and passed before
the holidays. The meeting went over
until Monday when it is understood Rep
resentatives Grosvenor and Hopkins, who
were absent today, will be back.

shall be temporary or permanent. Chair
man Payne being rather inclined to a
permanent measure Another question
brought up today was as to the uniform
ity of the tariff rates to be established,
it being held In some quarters that the
United States should have preferential
rates over foreign countries to the ex
tent of 15 per cent or thereabouts. How
over, this has not gone beyond the point
of discussion. The indications are that
the measure will be ready early next
week and perhaps by Tuesday, although
the Republican members say there will
be no disposition to rush through a meas
ure without mature consideration.
The committee expects to give a hear
ing next week to the Cuban representa
tives now here, concerning tariff conces
sions on Cuban sugar and tobacco.
Discussed by the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON. Dec 6. A number of
matters were discussed at the Cabinet
meeting today, but none was of sreclal
importance. It developed that the Gov
errxnent is convinced that the decision of
the Supreme Court in the Insular cases
does not in any way disturb the Philip
pine tariff and that the Government will
continue to collect customs duties as
heretofore.

GEXEHAL CHAFFEE'S REPORT.
Reasons for the Prolongation of
Guerrilla Warfare.
WASHINGTON, Dec 6. The War De
partment made public the first annual re
port of Major-Gtneral Adna R. Chaffee,
Military Governor of the Philippine
Islands. Governor Chaffee sums up the
situation in the Philippines from a mili
tary point of view by stating that the
Provinces of Batangas and Laguna. In
Luzon and the Islands of Samar, Mindora,
Cebu and Bohol constitute the area now
disturbed by any embodied force of in
surgents. He says that to the physical
character of the country, to the nature
of the warfare of the rebels, who are
amlgo and foe In the selfsame hour, to
the humanity of the troops, which Is
taken advantage of by the rebels and the
Inhabitants who sympathize with them,
and to the fear of assassination on the
part of the friendly disposed if they give
information to the American forces, is
due the prolongation of the guerrilla war
fare. Commenting upon the plan of gradually
replacing military with civil administra
tion. General Chaffee says:
"The withdrawal of Interference with
civil affairs does not contemplate the
withdrawal of the troops from their sta
tions to any considerable extent; on the
contrary, this should not be done hastily,
and when undertaken should be gradual
and more In the nature of concentration
than reduction of force or abandonment
of any considerable area of territory."
He, therefore recommends that there
bo no further material reduction of troops
before January. 1903. The governments
which are being organized provincial and
municipal General ChatTec says, are both
new and untried, and there Is but one
certain and reliable method of ascertain
ing the progress of the Filipinos in self
government, namely, observation by the
Army.
On the subject of military government
of the City of Manila, General ChaiTce
says:
"In the government of Manila for three
years. If the military have done nothing
more, it Is everywhere apparent that an
excellent foundation has been laid and a
turbulent and hostile community brought
to observe the laws and individually be
orderly; this has been done without un
due harshness or severity of treatment
of the inhabitants."
In anticipation of a partial concentra
tion of the troops in the Philippines next
year. General Chaffee submits estimates
of cost for the construction of quarters
and "barracks. He recommends that a
permanent post be constructed at once
In the vicinity of Manila for a garrison
J of two squadrons of cavalry, two batter-
les of artillery and two full regiments
of Infantry, together with a hospital and
storehouse, the whole to be under the
command of a Brigadier-General. He
gives $300,000 as a rough estimate of cost
for this project and says that $200,000
should be available immediately in order
to take full advantage of the dry season
for the construction of permanent quar
ters at other points which may be de
termined upon. During the fiscal year
ended June, 1903, he estimates that 52,
000.000 Is required.
General Chaffee devotes a good part
of his report to the terrible disaster
which befell Company C, Ninth Infantry,
at Balangiga. Samar, and which, he
says, "was largely due to overconfidence
In assumed pacific conditions and In a
people who, to a great extent as yet,
are strangers to and unapprociailve of
our humane policy of liberty of beliefs
and actions."
American soldiers, he says, fall to dis
criminate between real and assumed
friendship on the part of the Filipinos.
A table Is submitted showing that since
June 10 last, the date of the last table
submitted by General MacArthur, up to
September 15, 301 Filipino officers and 3G3S
men surrendered to the American mili
tary t and 26 ofllcers and 433 men were cap
tured. In an appendix report. General J. P.
Sanger, Inspector-General of the division
of the Philippines, in speaking of the
discipline of the troops in the islands,
notes a commendable absence of excesses
and serious infractions of the regula
tions, but says there Is great room for
Improvements in the matter of dress, de
meanor and show of respect in saluting
superior officers, the criticism appealing
ad well to officers and soldiers.
Judgc-Advocate-General Grosbeck says
that the suppression of brigandage
in the Philippines most probably will be
one of the trying problems of the future.
If the military arm was left free to deal
with the mauraders, he says, there would
be no doubt of their final suppression,
but the incoming of civil government com
plicates the situation very considerably.
Great attention Is paid In appended re
ports to the subject of the prevalence of
venere.il diseases In the Army of the
Philippines and vigorous measures have
been taken to segregate dissolute women
and by rigid physical inspection guard
against a spread of such diseases.
To Expedite Transport Business.
WASHINGTON, Dec. C In order to ex
pedite the shipment of troops and supplies
from the United States to the Philippines,
the Secretary of War has transferred the
transport Kilpatrick from the New York
Manila route to the San Francisco-Manila
route, so that the vessel, which Is
now at Manila, can assist in carrylns
troops between the Inst two named ports.
She will tail about the middle of the
month. It Is estimated at the War De
partment that it takes as lorg for one
trip from New York to Manila as for two
from San Francisco to the same point.
Another order Issued today was for the
freight transport Dix to leave Manila to
morrow for Seattle, where a large amount
of suDpllcs are awaiting shipment to the
Philippines.
Xo Philippine Tobncco Combine.
NEW YORIC. Dec. 6. The Mall and
Express has the following:
"There Is no reason to believe that a
combination of Philippine tobacco grow
ers is being effected, so far as the au
thorities here arc concerned. The secre
tary of the American Tobacco Company
said today he knew nothing of any such
combination said to have a capital of
J20.000.000 or more, and other tobacco
Interests here do not credit the report."

FREXCH INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE.
Offer From Philadelphia of a Site for
the Proposed School.
PARIS. Dec. 6. Franco-Ameriom com
mercial relations and the proposed French
industrial college in America were warm
ly discussed at a meeting today of the
French Industrial and Commercial Socie
ty, which Is composed of prominent manu
facturers and business men. Senator Jules
Siegfried, the ex-Minister of Commerce,
who recently visited the United Statea,
greatly impressed his hearers with the
arguments in favor of reciprocity between
the two countries. He quoted President
Roosevelt's allusion to that subject in his
message to Congress", and said that in
case or the miners executing their threat
to declare a general strike, French Indus
trial Interests could reckon on big sup
plies of American coal.
Francis Kimball, president of the Amer
ican Chamber of Commerce, who was the
guest of honor, said the Chamber was
equally desirous or Franco-American reci
procity, and announced that he had wrU.
ten to the Minister of Commerce, M. MII
Ierand, offering the Chamber'e co-operation
In the projected French industrial
college in America. Other speaker ex
pressed warm praise of M. Mlllerand's col
lege scheme and the choice of America as
the field for experimenting. Jules Sieg
fried said the Union of Higher Commercial
Schools had forwarded to M. tMUIerand an
appeal to extend the scheme to the study
of American business methods and to send
a number of commercial students to
America on the same conditions as the
industrial students. M. Siegfried .also said
that America was equally ahead on com
mercial ideas, as on Industrial, and pro
posed that the society send M. MUlerand
a similar appeal.
Mr. Ncldtrleln. a representative of the
Commercial Museum of Philadelphia, then
read a letter, whhch had been sent to M.
MUlerand, In behalf of the museum, offer
ing the use of a laboratory and work
rooms, and even a site for the proposed
college. He said he had just; received a
reply from M. MUlerand. thanking him for
the .otter, which was under consideration,
and asking for further particulars as to
how the college would be received by the
various Philadelphia Institutions and mak
ing inquiry as to the estimated expense ot
the college, etc.
The French Government has decided to
make a special investigation of American
trusts. Lazare Welller, Councillor of For
eign Commerce, and Maurice La Gotel
lerle, an engineer, have been entrusted
with tho mission. They will proceed to
the United States, to Investigate the eco
nomic, Use I and social consequences.
They will gall December 14.
AMERICAN' SCHEMES OF CAPITAL.
The London Times Believes We Have
Outrun Discretion.
LONDON, Dec. 6. The Times, in its
financial article this morning, discusses
the question of credit relations between
the United States and Europe. The Times
regards the time as still distant when the
United Staes will become a great banker
nation, and compliments Mr. Gage as the
best Secretary of the Treasury for many
years past. The paper says it remains to
be seen whether all the big American
schemes which European capitalists aro
directly or Indirectly financing at the pres
ent moment will prove as profitable as
sanguine people expect.
"We think that during the last year
American energy and optimism have to
some extent outrun discretion," says the
Times, "and some of the best qualified
judges in the United States seem to agree
with us."
In the opinion of the editor, the United
States Is In the position of a young, vig
orous, able and honest manufacturer, who
has also had great success as a farmer,
and who Js able to command first-class
credit at his banker's. He makes a great
deal more net income than he needs and
employs all that he does not spend in ex
tending his business. He hns occasional
fits of exuberant energy and enthusiasm
when he borrows largely to construct
works which do not Immediately yield a
return. Thus, periodically, he locks up
more than Is wise in bricks and mortar
and steel. Even in his prudent mood he
does not keep much actual cash, but he
likes to keep his capital growing. He does
not believe in gilt-edge securities, except
for insurance companies and savings
banks, because capital does not increase
fast enough in 3 per cent stuff. His ad
mirers have been asserting that he is
going to be a great banker If he is not
one already. Probably he will be some
time, but that time is distant.
The writer assumes that Secretary
Gage did not perfectly understand his
(the editor's) argument In the Interview
he gave, which was cabled here, but he
affirms that the Secretary accepts his
view that the United States Is a great
manufacturer, but not yet a great banker.
However, not all the London financial
experts by any means support the vlcw3
of the Times in regard to the foreign cred
it of the United States. On the contrary,
some of the shrewdest men believe that
any such purely theoretical reasoning is
misleading, and that the actual great, long
continued and obviously growing prosper
ity of the United States is the important
factor In the case.
"America may be a debtor Nation,' said
a well-known financier, "but the amount
of American capital Invested here and
elsewhere in Europe is enormous and in
creasing." EXGLISH VIEW OF ROOSEVELT.
DuloKlstlc Article in the London
Spectator.
LONDON, Dec. C An article on Presi
dent Roosevelt will occupy considerable
space In tomorrow's Usue of the Specta
tor. His message to Congress Is highly
commended. "Here, at any rate," says
the Spectator, "la a man who knows what
he means, and means that the world shall
know It also."
Briefly the Spectator will approve of
President Roosevelt's attitude, both In re
gard to the trusts and in foreign policy,
but the paper will admit that European
powers will never accept Monroeism In
'theory, and only in practice as long as the
American Navy is strong enough to sup
port it. The Spectator is especially glad
that President Roosevelt Is inclined to face
the possibility of the need to amend the
Constitution, which American statesmen
always regard as too sacred to be touched.
The Spectator will also contain a highly
eulogistic article on President Roosevelt's
essay, "The Citizen and the Public Man."
and will say that In this essay one sees
a man with the inflexible moral vigor of
Cromwell.
"We are convinced that President Roose

a good part If he continues his work In

The cause exists in the blood, in
what causes inflammation of the
mucous membrane.
It is therefore impossible to cure
the disease by local applications.
It is positively dangerous to neg
lect it, because it always affects
the stomach and deranges the
general health, and is likely to
develop into consumption.
Many have been radically and permanently
cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. It cleanses the
blood and has a peculiar alterative and tonic
effect. R. Lone. California Junction. Iowa,
