Board of Trade Demands Bet
ter System of Repairs.
STREET RAILWAYS CENSURED
KeaolHtlon In Passed Call lag Attea-
Hon o Board of Public Works and
City Ensrlneer to Wretched
Condition, of City Avcnaes.
The Board of Trade demands better
streets and sidewalks and better methods
of keeping the avenues of the city In re
pair. At last night's meeting of the board
strong resolutions were adopted, con
demning the negligence of car companies,
which have permitted their roadbeds to
deteriorate and ruin the city pavements.
The attention of the Board of Public
"Works and the City Engineer -were called
to the poor -methods now in force of lay
ing sidewalks and crossings.
The Board of Trade elected 20 delegates
to the Oregon and Columbia Biver Board
of Trade, which meets here the last of
this month. A resolution in favor of a
(trans-Pacific cable, laid by public enter
prise, was referred to a special commit
tee. Three members of the Federated
TTrades were warmly welcomed into the
membership of the board, and the event
was signalized as marking the beginning
of more familiar relations between the
(mercantile and labor Interests of the city.
Tbe meeting also indulged in discussion
jof methods for advertising Portland and
'Oregon in the East.
Street Rail-ways Censured.
The committee on street railways,
Thomas Guinean, -William Deveney, "W. U
Boise, F. I. aicKenna and John Epperly.
Jsubmi'tted the following report, which was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The health and commercial
progress of the City of Portland have become a
necessity recognized by all taxpaylng residents.
Whereas, It is demanded, by existing condi
tions, that steps be at once taken to further
these ends.
Resolved, That we, the Board of Trade, In
the interests of the municipality of Portland
hereby censuro the street railway systems, es
pecially those operated on Morrison and "Wash
ington streets, for culpable negligence in al
lowing their roadbeds to deteriorate, and re
main permanently out of repair, thus leaving
the pavement- adjoining the samo in the
wretched .condition. In many places, that now
prevails.
Resolved, That the attention of the Board
of Health be emphatically called to the condi
tion of tho- disease-breeding sidewalks to be
found on "Washington and Morrison streets, 'as
well as on hundreds of other streets, contin
ually endangering the health of all residents
along said thoroughfares.
Resolved, That the attention of the Board of
Public Works and the City Engineer, be, and
Is hereby called, to the lamentable lack of
any well devised system In regard to the laying
of sidewalks and crossings; by Insisting that
the same be laid on brick or stone supports.
Instead of planting them la the mud, as has
been the custom for years. Especial attention
Is called to crossings at all the central street
crossings, nearly all of which are of wooden
construction. We are satisfied that stone
crossings could be substituted In their stead
at a very small additional expense, and at a
reduced aggregate cost to property-holders, on
account of the greater length of time they
would prove serviceable.
Resolved, That we earnestly call the atten
tion of tho City Council, the Board of Public
Works and the City Engineer to the matrrial
heretofore in use for roadbed purposes. It is
a well-known and frequently remarked fact,
that said material, consisting of sand and de
composed rock. Is not suitable for the purposes
to which It is applied, as, within a short time
after the rains begin. It disintegrates Into
mud. The taxpayer Is then compelled to pay
for carting away the material which property
holders have already been at great expense
In placing there. If the streets cannot be made
serviceable by the use of the best material to
be had. It would be far better to leave the
natural surface of the roadbeds undisturbed.
Resolved, That all contracts for city work
should be backed by genuine bonds, 6ald bonds
to be strictly enforce In all cases where work
la not done according to contract.
Pacific Cable Discussed.
Kesolutions protesting against the prob
able subsidizing by the Government of a
transpacific cable were referred "to a spe
cial committee, composed of N. W. Roun
tree, J. I Martin and A. H. Breyman.
The resolutions cited that a company of
private individuals is prepared to lay a
cable, and that ibis company be not im
peded by grants to any other that may
seek -a. bounty from the Government. J.
JVnnand, representing the Commercial Pa
cific Cable Company, which proposes to
work without subsidy, assured the board
that Portland would have the same rates
on messages oa would San Francisco, the
headquarters of the comoanv. JT rBm
lhat tho promoters of the project have
offered to transmit messages to Honolulu
for not more than 50 cents per word, and
!o the Philippines and China for not more
than Jl per word. The latter rate would
effect a saving over present charges of
not less than $1 35 per word. la two years
the company agreed to reduce the rate to
Honolulu to S5 cents per word.
Delegates to Greater Board of Trade.
A special committee of three members,
of which. 6eneca Smith, -was chairman!
nominated SO delegates to the Oregon and
Columbia Basin Board of Trade. The
nominations were approved. They were
F. E. Beach. Seneca Smith, Samuel Con
nell, F. I. ZdoKenna, William Killings
worth, H. "Wl Scott, A I. Mohler, Thomas
Guinean. J. W. Cruthers, B, C. Judson,
Clifford J. Owen, Adolph Dekum, "IV. I
Boise, L. B. Seely, B. L.ee Paget, I. G.
Dax'idson, P. J. Jennings, G. G. McNa
tnara, Fred Merrill, L. Y. Kcady.
The board voted to become a" member
of the Civic Improvement Association.
Union. Delegates Received.
When, tho session was about half fin
ished. G. Y. Harry, H. C. Gurr and H. Mc
Connaughey, a committee from the Fed
erated Trades, was received. The board
had requested the Federate Trades to co
operate, and had invited representatives
of the labor unions, in their individual
functions, to become members. The three
members of the committee each made
speeches, assuring the board of the good
will of the Federated Trades and of the
desire of the labor union to enter into
any movement for advancing the interests
of the city. The organization of the sev
eral unions and their amalgamation in tho
-rrederated Trades were explained. Presi
dent Beach responded in words compli
mentary to the committee and the unions.
How to Advertise Oregon.
In the discussion of best ways of adver
tising Oregon abroad, a letter from Cap
tain, H. L. Wells, of San Jose, was read.
The board was highly pleased with the
suggestions it contained. The letter was
as follows:
Our immigration literature is too compre
hensive, too dull, too voluminous. What we
need Is an attractive art booklet, with scenry
and a few views of Industries and with a
somewhat general description of the state and
lis advantages and attractions, not so long
that it will not be read through, and not so
dry that It will not be interesting to itself.
The object Should not be so much to give de
tailed Information as to Increase and strength
en the Interest aroused by the advertisement.
Then I would have separate booklets on the
various industries, so that a man interested in
the fruit business will not have sent him a
book that says a. little about fruit and a good
deal about canning salmon.
A separate little booklet for fruit, for mining,
for timber, for geneial farming, for stock,
for dairying, etc., would each do more good
when sent to the light party than a more
costly booklet embracing everything. The post
age would be less and the results greater. In
speaking of booklets I cannot urge too strongly
that they be highly artistic, the best the en
graver and printer can do. Thousands of dol
lars have been wasted in advertising Oregon in
cheap pamphlets. Whatever printed matter
goes out does so as the representative of the
state. If it is first-class the recipients will
be Impressed with tho Idea that the state is
first-class also. Just the reverse effect Is
created by cheap printing. Pine printing and
engraving is worth all It costs in advertising.
Another matter I would speak of. and that
is personal letters. As I said before, the ad
vertisement is not worth so much as the work
that is done afterwards to make that adver
tisement effective. Every Inquirer should have
a personal letter written him. Tou cannot
Invest 2 cents in postage to better advantage.
By saving postage of bundles of ill-assorted and
cheap boom literature by this system of small
booklets, and Investing that postage in per
sonal letters, wonderful results can be obtained.
Men like to be written to personally, and there
Is, in nearly every letter of Inquiry, some point
that might be made In such a personal letter.
A general form might be prepared, to bo varied
according to circumstances.
Possibly some other citizen in the same town 1
has been out to Oregon Investigating, and you
could refer to him. This would require you
to keep a register of all inquirers and visitors.
This is best done by what Is known as the
card system. It could be kept In two subdi
visions, first by subjects in which the person
is interested, and these subdivided by states
and towns. Each card should have noted on
It anything special about the case and the
dates of letters, booklets sent, eta, and final
disposition of the case. If known. This means
some work and the employment of a competent
secretary, with stenographic help, but It also
means practical results, and that 13 what you
are after.
The next meeting of the board will be
held Monday evening, March 17.
"THE PRIDE OFJENNICO." .
Dashing: Melodrama Well Given, at
the 3IariHam.
"The Pride of Jennlco," a swashbuck
ler melodrama, which keeps moving right
along with amazing rapidity, piayed at
the Marquam last night to a smaller
house than it deserved, for both play
"and company are well worth seeing. It
was tho first time it had been seen here,
and naturally those who braved the ele
ments to behold it were somewhat curious
as to its plot. That they all appeared
amply satisfied, both with the story and
its outcome, may be taken as a sincere
compliment to tho dramatist
The story hinges on the wedding of an
adventurous Princess with7 a youth whose
family prido will permit him to marry
only a woman of royal blood. Disliking
to be married because she is a Princess,
she changes places with her maid, and
marries lilm under the guise of the
Princess, making him believe all the while
that she is still the waiting woman. "When
he finally begins to exhibit symptoms of
dissatisfaction with his low-born bride,
she leaves him, and his efforts to win her
back,, in spite of the opposition of a
knavish Prince who wants to marry her
himself, afford plenty 'of opportunity for
lively situations.
Frances Neilsen, as the Princess OttUlc,
is the star of the support. She is an ac
tress endowed with much natural talent,
to which she has added by an attrac
tive personality and pretty face, and her
acting was really a pleasure. Wallace
"Worfely is a fine figure of a game noble
man as Jennlco, and the remainder of the
company are all that is necessary. Same
bill until Saturday night.
Jack Symonds at the Baker.
Jack Symonds, comedian, who will be
among the features of next week's vaude
ville programme at the Baker, will appear
in Portland by special permission of Man
ager Meyerfeldt, of the Orpheum, San
Francisco, where he will appear the week
after he is been in Portland. Symond3
is one of the best-known minstrels on the
stage, having been featured in nearly all
of tho leading troupes. His work is said
to be original, as well' as funny. There
are many other star features on next
week's programme. Including the great
Du Bell, whose act is said to be the
greatest of its kind. The programme will
begin with the matinee Sunday after
noon. Seats are now on sale.
"The Sultan's Daughter" at Cordray's
The Jessie Shirley Company's opening
play for its coming week of repertoire
at Cordray's will be "The Sultan's Daugh
ter," a comedy for laughing purposes only
with funny plot, text incisively witty and
action that is fulff laughable situations.
The story is of a wealthy New York
art collector, who purchases a valuable
painting entitled, "The Sultan's Daugh
ter." The painting offends the sense of
propriety of an old maid aunt of the
owner's wife, who orders it, together with
several others of his art treasures-, cov
ered up, in order that they may not be
seen by her. During the family's absence
the picture comes to life, and the frantic
efforts of the unfortunate man to satis
factorily explain matters to his suspicious
relatives causes the fun to wax fast and
furious. Clever specialties are introduced
wherever opportunity affords.
Daniel Sully.
Tho sale of seats for Daniel Sully In
"The Parish Priest" will open this morn
lrg at 10 o'clock. Next Monday and
Tuesday nights Mr. Sully will be the at
traction at the Marquam Grand Theater.
The play that Daniel Sully is presenting,
"The Parish Priest," has earned the
reputation ot being one of the most de
lightfully Interesting productions of the
day. There is no straining after effects,
no hidden meaning, no offensive situations
or dialogues; but everywhere and ever
the interest is held by fascinating pictures
that appeal to the heart. Daniel Sully in
the title role looks and acts it to per
fection. His sweet niece. Nellie, beloved
and troubled, wins everybody's affection,
while "Big Jim" wins the highest ad
miration for his manly courage. It is a
story of life in the Pennsylvania coal
regions, and its scenes and incidents are
founded on the mistakes of ambition, the
struggles of love, and the victory of
righteousness. There are no sermons, no
interjections of creedal aphorisms nor
anything to offend. Daniel I. Hart, the
author, has sketched with a dainty 'pen,
and tho "Parish Priest" is as breezy,
pungent, amusing and charming as a play
can be. Scenery for the entire production
is carried.
Leonora Jackson.
A rare treat for Portland " music-lovers
is announced In the forthcoming appear
,ance at the Marquam Grand Theater next
Monday afternoon of Leonora Jackson,
one of the world's greatest violinists and
undoubtedly the greatest woman violinist-
Upon the occasion of her appearance
here last season Miss Jackson took the
big audience which had turned out to
hear her by storm, and her fame as a vio
linist of international reputation was fully
sustained. The searching beauty of her
tone, the purity of her sentiment, her
earnest concentration and fine musical in
stinct were pronounced of a very rare
sort. In conjunction with Miss Jackson
Harry J. Fellows, the noted tenor, and
William Bauer, the celebrated German
pianist, will appear, making what Is
probably the strongest musical combina
tion to play here this season. The sale
of seats will open at the box office of
the theater at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. In the Pennsylvania' Control.
NEW YORK. March 6. Coincident with
changes made in the list of officials of
the Norfolk & Western Railroad, it is
stated, says the Herald, that the main
office of the company, which has been lo
cated in this city for many years, soon
will be moved to Philadelphia. The real
significance of this step is said to lie in
the fact that the Pennsylvania interests
which are now in practical control of the
Norfolk & Western, wish to have its ex
ecutive offices as near at hand as possible
so as to direct more closely the general
policy of the big soft coal road. Arrange
ments already have been made to move
the papers and paraphernalia of the pres
ident's office to Philadelphia. It Is thought
the transfer will be completed within the
present month.

FLOOD IN HIS CELLAR
.SAIiOOX-KEEPER SAYS BREAKING
DAC CAUSED IT.
He Therefore Asks $100 Dsnagei,
Which Owners ef Dam Refase to
Pay Nevrs of the Coarts.
The question whother the breaking of a
dam or excessive rainfall caused a flood
is the issue in tho suit of George Zil
llnger against Alfonso Debendetti, Angelo
Sereghino, Lorenzo Slmenca and Charles
Chlllppcli to recover J1600 damages. The
trial of the case was begun yesterday be
fore Judge George and a Jury, and will
be concluded today. Zilllnger conducts
the Seven Corners saloon, at tho corner of
East Twenty-first and Division streets,
and north of his place the defendants
have a tract of 45 acres of land leased
and used as a vegetable garden. Zil
llnger contends that early in the morn
ing of January 13, 1901, a dam put In by
the defendants for irrigation purposes
broke, and the water rushed down Di
vision street and into tho cellar of his
house and Into the yard. He asks $1200
on account of damage to the house, $250
because of wines and liquors destroyed,
and 51S0 by reason of loss occasioned by
interruption to his business.
Zilllnger testified that he was awakened
by hearing loud noises in the saloon and
he thought burglars were trying to. break
In, so he got up, and, taking his revolver,
went downstairs to see what was the
matter. He discovered that it was a
flood that was knocking barrels, boxes
and other articles about, and causing all
tho disturbance. On cross-examlnntion
Zillirger admitted that while he sued for
$1600 he had offered to settle the case for
5150, and afterwards was willing to take
as little as $75 In settlement.
The defense will be that the dam did
not give way, but, on account of unprece
dented rainfall on that day, and for sev
eral days previous, and also several Inches
of melted snow, a creek In that vicinity
became swollen and overflowed, washed
out a culvert and caused the damage com
plained of. An attempt will also be made
to show that the City of Portland has
since .put In a culvert at Twenty-sixth
street to prevent a recurrence of the flood.
Mr. Zilllnger admitted on the witness
stand that there is considerable water now
in the cellar of his house, occasioned by
the recent rains. The weather records, it
Is stated, indicate that more than two
Inches of rain fell on January 12 and 13,
1S0L City Attorney J. M. Long and Alex
Sweek appear for the plaintiff, and J. A.
Strowbridge, Jr., and Ed Mendenhall
for the defendants. The Jury will visit
the scene this morning.
HEXKLE USED HIS GVS.
But Circumstances "Were- MltlRntliip;
nnd He Escaped Lightly.
Valentine Henkle, a brewer employed by
the Gambrinus Brewery, was tried yes
terday before Judge Cleland and a jury
oh a charge of shootlntr at E. Henderson
and W. J. Riley, on October 13. 1901. and
was convicted of simple assault. The jury
also recommended Henkle to the mercy of
the court, which is a recommendation for
a light sentence.
The evidence at the trial disclosed that
Henkle was having his house, on Jefferson
street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth,
repaired and enlarged, and Riley and Hen
derson, who are carpenters, were em
ployed on the work. In one of the rooms
upstairs they had their tools and some
finishing hardware, and as they were
about to quit for the day they proceeded
to lock the door, which they had only
done once or twice previously. Henkle
was present, and he resented the action
as an imputation that he or some member
of his family would steal Henderson and
Riley's property, and he grabbed the key
out of Henderson's hand. Riley tried to
.take the key from Henkle, and the latter
broke away and ran down stairs. Riley
tm-eW a piece of rustic at Henkle, which
hit him on the head. Henkle then pro
cured his revolver, and returned to the
room where Riley and Henderson were.
The door was held closed by the two
men, and they testified that Henkle shot
through it. Henkle testified that he
stumbled over a piece of board, and the
pistol was accidentally discharged.
A. R. Mendenhall, attorney for Henkle,
argued In support of the accidental shoot
Ing theory that the range of tho bullet
was In a decidedly upward direction, and
that the shot was not flred straight
through the door. Deputy District "At
torney Arthur C. Spencer prosecuted the
case.
DENIES THERE IS MONEY DUE.
Mrs. Louttit Says She Owe Estate
of Harriet Mnngan Nothing.
The time in Judge Scars' court yester
day was taken up with the trlnl of the
suit of William Heam. administrator of
the estate of Harriet Mangan. deceased,
against Rachael and Robert Louttit, to
recover 51500. The complaint sets forth
that Mrs. Mangan loaned Mrs. Louttit
$1000 In August, 194. and afterward turned
over 5500 to her for safekeeping.
Claude Strahan and Waldemar Seton
appear as plaintiff's counsel, and R. L,
Glisan and A. King Wilson are tho de
fendant's attorneys. The deposition of
Mrs. R. L. Edwards, taken in Chicago,
was read, stating that Mrs. Mangan, while
confined In Dr. Coo's Sanitarium, shortly
before her death, informed her that she
had lent Mrs. Louttit $1000, and also turned
over 5300 to her. This witness also said
that, judging from the statements made
to her by Mrs. Mangan, the money had
not been paid back to Mrs. Louttit. There
was some talk concerning ner sending
it to Dan, an adopted son of Mrs. Man
gan, in Scotland.
Mrs. Louttit testified that she never bor
rowed 51000 from Harriet Mangan, but did
borrow $700, which she paid. She admit
ted having received 5500 from Mrs. Man
gan, and explained that this amount was
to be used to pay for a surgical operation
which Mrs. Mangan had performed, and
for funeral expenses If Mrs. Mangan died.
Mrs. Louttit said that Mrs. Mangan did
die, and the operation was paid for. and
the funeral bill and other things, as di
rected. The 1500 was all expended. She
also stated that Mrs. Mangan worked
for her, and had confidence In her. They
were old friends. Tho trial will be fin
ished today.

PORT OF PORTLAND MAKES DE
MAND OF CONTRACTORS.
Drydeck People Mast Give Bond That
Doclc "Will Operate Saceessf ally
If Not, No Dock.
Faber, Du Faur & Donnelly, of New
York, whose plans for a floating dry
dock were accepted by the Port of Port
land Commission recently, have been per
emptorily asked whether they will give
a bond that the dock as built under their
superintendence will operate successfully.
If they decline to give such a bond the
Commissioners will, inferring from Opin
ions expressed by them at their meeting
yesterday, award the contract to any
other Arm whose plans will meet the
wants of the port.
From a letter received from Faber, Du
Faur & Donnelly, In answer to one sent
them by the board of February 19, the
Arm does not appear to be very anxious
to give a bond. The letter stated: "Such
a bond Is entirely out of our experience
or that of any engineer we know. We
have consulted bonding companies here
and they tell us they have never been
asked to give such a bond and say there
is nothing to base a bond upon our nego
tiations with you, which have so far been
confined to the matter of engineering,
charges for plans, etc., and charges for
patent royalties In case the dock Is built.
It is 'impossible for engineers to act un
der contract, as their services are mainly
in the nature of advice and preparation
of plans, etc, which are to form the basis
for the contracts, and then to see that
the contracts when formed are carried
out. We and Mr. Lang are the most in
terested parties In the dock;, and we, as
engineers, consider It a part of our service
to devise and suggest such methods as
shall insure to Portland a dock that will
meet all the requirements of such struc
tures,, and if It Is necessary for us to
become a party to a bond at the proper
time, we are prepared to do so. . . .
If the negotiations reach a successful con
clusion, we -will, under the direction of
the Port of Portland's engineers, erect
the dock which the port has declared to
be most suitable."
The letter also stated that the license
fee must be paid pro rata with the con
tract payments for the construction of
the dock, and the Port of Portland se
cured from loss by agreements similar to
those entered Into by the contractors; that
any liability for tho operation of the dock
should take the form of a contract and
may be made at the same time or so re
lated to the construction contract as to
completely protect the port of Portland;
that Mr. Lang would consider It as a
necessary qualification for the candidate
for tho position of dockmaster that the
man should have had previously extend
ed experience In the docking of large ves
sels on floating docks; that he should be
of good standing In this calling, and that
with these qualifications the time neces
sary for him to become an efficient and
reliable dockmaster with the Lang dock
would be from two to three months. Cir
cumstances would determine whether It
would be necessary for the prospective
dockmaster to go to Hoboken or not.
If the firm were to act as consulting
and constructing engineers, they would
expect to. have as superintendent and In
spector the same man who acted In a
similar capacity In the building of the
10.000-ton Lang dock in the East, and
who is now "suDerlntendinsr the
construction of another dock from
our plans." This man has the Arm's en
tire confidence and if he falls to do his I
duty here he will be replaced at the firm's '
expense. Concluding, the letter stated I
that the questions raised were such as
come up in every large undertaking and t the past 24 hours. 0.9 foot; total precipitation,

The letter was very unsatisfactory to
the Commissioners, and after discussing
it they concluded that it did not give the
Information they wanted the matter of
furnishing a suitable bond. Mr. Adams
moved that the following telegram be
sent to Faber, Du Faur &. Donnelly:
"Yours of March 1 received. In consid
eration of the enslneering fee to be paid
you and the Iclense fee to be paid Lang,
will you, Lang, or both together, bind
yourselves In the sum of $150,000. surety
company bond, that the dock built under
your plans, specifications and superintend
ence will operate successfully? Answer
yes or no."
If the firm returns a negative answer
the board will probably consider all ne
gotiations at an end and seek for new
plans.

Title Gaarantee Jfc Trnst Company Ifc
saes Accarate Production.
A new map of Portland has Just been
published by the Title Guarantee & Trust
Company, and It is by far the most ac
curate and complete ever issued of this
city. It is S7x93 inches In size and Is
drawn on a scale of "QO feet to the inch,
making each ordinary lot of sufficient size
to show Its number. All blocks are prop
erly designated, the sections and town
ships of the United States survey are
shown, and the original donation land
claims appear In tints. Of course all the
streets, correctly named, are given, and
parks, public buildings and other promi
nent featuics are Indicated. The harbor
lines In the Willamette are clearly drawn,
and the depth of water at all points In
the harbor are given. These figures do
not appear on any other map of the city
that has been published.
Besides covering all the details with
more clearnesr than any previous map,
this one Includes a greater area. It takes
in the suburban town of St. Johns and
shows the new O. R, & N. extension
through that burg. All the lakes and
sloughs of the Columbia bottoms appear
In color and duly named. In the east the
map Includes the country beyond Mount
Tabor Heights, as far as Montlcello Ad
dition and East Portland Homestead. It
runs to the county boundary on the south.
Including the details plats of many addi
tions not previously put on any published
map. It even reaches over Into Washing
ton County, showing the village of Gar
den Home In the extreme southwest cor
ner of the map. A list of the 306 addi
tions to the original Portland plat ap
pears In one corner of the map. with ref
erences enabling any one to readily lo
cate the desired addition, by the marginal
marks, which divide the surface of the
map into 399 squares.
The mechanical execution of the map Is
of exceptional merit. It was compiled by
Huber & Maxwell, civil engineers, and
the lithographic work was done by the C.
H. Crocker Company, In this city. The
various additions bear distinctive tints,
and land and water are bo colored as to
be distinguishable without an effort. The
present corporate limits are accurately
shown. A map of the size and accuracy
of detail of this one requires unusual
skill and facilities In its execution, and
this map Is a credit to all who have been
connected In any way with lte produc
tion. It Is distinctly the most workman
like piece of mapmaklng ever done in
Portland.

THAT CHAPTER.
A chapter on Scott's Emul
sion often holds a prominent
position in the histories of
weak children.
The gist of that chapter
usually reads like this " child
weak, pale, thin, no appetite,
fretful, weakness left over from
grippe ' or other disease. Be
gan small doses Scott's Emul
sion three times a day after
meals. No apparent change
first week. Then appetite
improved, then strength in
creased, then child more lively,
slept better, a decided gain in
weight, better color in thef ace."
And so it goes till the child
is reported well and strong.
Sounds simple enough and
it is simple Scott's Emulsion
is just what the weak child
needs.
