EMERGENCY CLAUSE FAILS
"o Vote "ow on Charter' Tntll Reg
ular Election In June Council
Passes Two Ordinances
Over Mayor's Veto.
"Standing pat," Councilmen Beldlng,
Concannon. CotteL Dunning and Hepp-
ner yesterday morning succeeded In
eliminating the emergency clause to
the ordinance enabling the submission
to the people of the commission p;an.
contained In a proposed charter framed
by a committee of 15 taxpayers. The
five have steadfastly refused to vote
for the ordinance, and the result is that
the people will not be permitted to vote
upon the question until me regular juuo
election. The will of the majority mem
bers counts for nothing In this instance,
as their ten votes are Insufficient to
carry the necessary emergency, which
would make the special election or
dinance effective at once. It must now
lie for SO days, in order that any who
may wish can apply referendum. Those
voting to pass the emergency clause
with the measure were Councilmen
Annand, Baker, Bennett, Cellars, Drls-
coll, Menefee. Rushlight, Vaughn, Wal
lace and Wills.
After the discussion and the vote.
Councilman Baker moved the appolnt-
. ment of a committee of three to con
sult with City Attorney Kavanaugh In
an effort a arrange the proposed char- I
ter In such a manner thai it can do I
properly voted upon at the June elec
tlon. and that It may take effect when
ever deemed advisable. In case It Is
adopted by the people. .
Everything Awaits June Election.
Not only does the fate of the pro
posed chsrter as to a special election
rest upon the result of the action of
the five Councilmen. but all other
amendments that the people may wish
to submit at the primaries are barred
because of the time limit of 60 days,
specified by the state law. No. pro
posed amendment whatever can now
be submitted before June, as by the
taking effect of the ordinance without
the emergency clause at the end of
. 30 days, will not leave enough time to
come within the law. and such quos
tlons as the proposed new bascule
bridge across the Willamette north of
the Steel bridge will have to go over
until June.
The Council passed over the Mayor's
vetoes ordinances appropriating $1040
for the pay of Bailiff Macrionald, for
merly In the Municipal Court, and
granting to the Carman Manufactur
ing; Company the rlfrht to maintain a
raised sidewalk in front of its estab
lishment in the wholesale district.
The Council passed an ordinance pro
hibiting dance-halls in the Portland
Heights district, and Mayor Lane asked
that it be made general, so that no
dance-hall could be opened in the en
tire city without permission of the
Council, but no such action was taken.
Proceedings In the proposed opening
and widening of Vista avenue were dis
continued, and new proceedings will be
Instituted, the people living in the dis
trict having agreed upon a compromise
proposition. Instead of having a 60
foot thoroughfare, they have agTeed
upon a SO-foot cut, and It is said the
opening and Improving will now go
forward much more rapidly.
o Franchise for Fire Alarm Co.
The committee on Health and police
sent In two reports, minority and ma
jority, on the application of the N
a-
tlonal Automatic Fire Alarm Company.
The majority report was signed by
Councilmen Annand and Wills, recom
mending the prayer of the petition be
frranted. and that the proposed fran
chise submitted by the company be sent
to the Executive Board for valuation.
The minority report, by Councilman
Concannon. took the opposite stand, and
was finally adopted by the Council, so
that the franchise will not be granted.
During the debate on the question.
Councilman Cottel. a strong friend of
Mayor Lane, created somewhat of a
sensation by declaring that he had been
told that, if the Council would grant
the franchise, there would be ne reason
to fear a veto by the Mayor, because
of the standing of the corporation's
attorney.
What's his Miner queried Council
man Baker.
"Every one knowi his name," replied
Mr. CotteL
R- W. Montague Is the attorney for
the applicants. He Is said to "stand
cloee" to Mayor Lane, and was the lat
ter'a campaign manager two years ago.
BRIDGE TO CLOSE SUNDAY!
End of Dilapidated Madison-Street
Structure Is In Sight.
The antiquated Madison-street bridge
will be closed to pedestrians and all traf
fic Sunday night. This Is the announce
ment made yesterday by the County
Commissioners. A communication signed
by Judge Webster and Commissioners
Barnes and Llghtner, was sent to City
Auditor Barbur yesterday. It reads as
follows:
t am in receipt of your letter addressed to
myself and the Board of Commissioners ln
eloelns; copy of the resolution adopted by
the Executive Board in relation to the
Madison-street brldpe. Under this resolu
tion the city, through Its Executive Board.
have told us that this bridge is unsafe and
dangerous, and directing; that It be closed
and barricaded, and thereby relieve tbe
county from any further responsibility re
specting- the onare.
The law requires that the oounty shall
operate this bridge, but further than that
the oounty has so power to act or duty to
perform. When tbe bridge shall have been
finally closed and barricaded and the draw
opened and left so, then, so far as the
county U concerned, there Is no bridge re
quiring; Its attention. In other -words, we
have no power to take care of a structure
which is not an operative bridge.
I presume there ought to be a watchman
or some person In charge of the bridge,
eren If It has been closed and barricaded.
We call your attention to this matter and
will formally close and barricade the bridge
and leave It In the hands, of such watchman
or keeper as you may suggest.
.STRAP-HANGERS AT CIRCUS
Athletes Who Trained In Portland
Streetcars at V. M. C. A. Show.
One of the best athletic turns being
shown at Bungling Brothers Circus,
opening at the Y. M. C A. tonight, la
one contributed by a group of young- men
who have trained as strap-hangers on
Portland cars. Close up to the roof of
the great brick circus Is suspended a pole
on which a number of straps and a small
trapeze are hung. With these few ac
cessories the young strap-hangers will
put through an act as daring as any seen
in the city. Suspended from a strap,
each member will endeavor to do the
most ' Impossible things, and. Indeed, to
show In caricature Just what the life of
a etrap-hanger really is.
Director Larimore Bungling Is putting
on his "Living Statue" act with a some
what different dressing. The figures will
pose on a revolving platform, arranged
to turn round and round so that all sides
of the figures may be viewed from all
carts of the arena. Placed on the ele
vated stage, the platform will be visible
to all. In order to make the changes.
a great circular cup of black cloth will
fall nrnnnd the actors, belne- suspended
byebsSuileLft.0wiSbbee'a great a
scream as ever. From first to last, from
alpha to omega,- the menagerie Is a
scream, while the wonderful 'Procession
of the Crowned Heads of Europe" heads
anything of the kind shown in Portland.
A genuine old-fashioned "cottage act
la a striking turn, and this one la at least
as rood as any of the others. In the Y.
y, c. A- there are many men who, at
one time or another, have been In vaude
ville, as the director has been In circus
work, and these are all pulling together
to make the opening of the show a great
success.
HEAVIER RAILS GO DOWN
WORK PIjAjrNED OX ASTORIA &
COIUMBIA RIVER.
Whole Idne to Bo Reballasted With
Rock and Gravel Sii New Pas
senger Coaches to Be Added.
Extensive Improvements to the
Astoria & Columola River Railroad
are planned for the coming season.
Not only will the whole line be newly
ballasted with rock and gravel, but a
portion of the road will be relald with
heavier steel rails. Superintendent
McGulre, of the Astoria & Columbia
River Railroad has made these recom-
menaauona. ana ucucim ounu"'
ent Russell, of the North Bank sys
tem, of which the Astoria line Is a
part. Is looking over the plans and
will undoubtedly recommend that the
work be done.
It Is hoped to commence the work
as soon as the weather will admit of
the work being done to the best ad
vantage, so that the line will be in
good shape for the Summer travel to
the Northern Oregon beaches. Tr.e
road carries a heavy travel every
Summer to and from Seaside and the
nearby resorts, and the track has- not
been newly ballasted for the past few
years. Since taking over the property
about two years ago, the Hill owners
have been making Improvements to
bring it up to tho standard of the new
Spokane, Portland & Seattle, of which
it Is the western link.
The recommendation to reballast the
whole line, which is over 100 miles
long, carries with it an expenditure
of $64,420. Bridges on the line are
also to .be repaired wherever neces
sary, an appropriation of $10,000 being
set aside for lumber with wiucn to
complete these repairs.
Relaying the western end or the line
with heavy steel will prove the most
expensive part of the Improvements
projected for this season, however, the
eight miles from Carnahan Station to
Holladay being laid at present wim
SO-DOund rails. It Is expected to re
place these with 75-pound steel, bring
ing this section of the road up to the
remainder of the line In regard to
heavy steel rails.
The total expense or the ouagei
Superintendent McGulre has prepared
for Improvements before the Summer
travel sets In brings the contemplated
expenditure up to $164,832.
In addition to tnese Denermenis to
the railway, new equipment has Deen
ordered for use this Summer. Six new
passenger coaches have been manu
factured and will oe receivea aero
within a short time. These cars cost
about $10,000 each.
TRAIN'S OP VARIOUS LAM) S
E. B. Duffy Receives bet oi post
cards From Friends Abroad.
E. B. Duffy contracting freight and
passenger agent for the Denver & Rio
Grande, has received a complete set
of postal cards showing the trains In
service throughout Europe. Asia and
Africa that he is rather proud of and
will frame. The postals were received
yesterday from a-frlend In St. Peters
burg. William Carlisle, a former resi
dent of this city.
Knowing Mr. Duffys Interest In the
railroad business, Mr. Carlisle, who Is
a dentist In the Russian capital, has
been collecting the cards for some time
until he had one for each country of
the Eastern hemisphere where rail
roads have been developed to any ex
tent. The collection Is very Interest
ing, showing the route of the trains
Illustrated, the speed made and other
details.
BROOKE BUYS TWO LOTS
Purchases Fourth-Street Property
From Olds, Wortman & King.
Thomas Scott Brooke has bought
from Olds, Wortman & King two lots
at the southeast corner fit Fourth and
Jefferson streets. The consideration is
not announoed, but as a mortgage was
recorded yesterday in the sum of $27.-
000 on deferred payments; the amount
probably would be nearly double that
of the mortgage. The provisions of
the mortgage require that the new
owner shall keep the houses on the
premises Insured In the sum of $2700
and pay the taxes, usual provisions In
' transactions of this nature.
Olds, Wortman & King bought the
lots about two years ago for $26,000
as an investment and the present pur
chaser has done likewise.
There are two dwellings" on the site.
one of which was built somewhere near
40 years ago. The rental from the
dwellings is not commensurate with
the possibilities of the site, and in all
probability a modern Improvement will
replace the old buildings In the near
future.
Improving the Human Species.
HUBBARD, Or Feb. 19. (To the Ed
itor.) Why is It that our youth are so
full of crime and baseness? Can it be
early maturity of the human seed sown?
The newspapers chronicle every conceiv
able crime ever recorded on the annals of
time, crimes committed by our own chil
dren right In our midst. Surely our edu
cational lines are defective. Could not
"Tbe Science of Life," (soul and spiritual
culture) be taught as one of the foremost
branches of education? Plants and ani
mals are reared according to slcentific
laws and selection. Why not man?

KICK
OUT
SAYS
MAYOR
LAI
City's Executive Thinks Some
Officials Should Be
Fired at Once.
SALARIES NOT EQUITABLE
Council Hesitates at General Revi
sion and Puts Question Tp to
Head of Government W1IU
Gets Bad Bumping.
"Some of the city employes are receiv
ing too little pay, same too much and
some ought to oe kicked right out of of
fice altogether," said Mayor Lane during
the afternoon session of the City Council
yesterday, when the subject of an in
crease in pay for laborers in the street
cleaning department was under consid
eration. He was referring to the several
municipal departments, and not to any
one In particular. He told the members
of the Council that there should be a
general revision of salaries throughout
the city's pay roll, and this task was
Anally assigned to the committee , on ac
counts and current expenses.
There has long been talk of a revision
of the city salaries, but as it Is a delicate
task, all of the Councilmen shrank from
taking the Initiative, and It was left to
the Mayor. He took advantage of the
opportunity afforded when the petition of
100 laborers In the street-cleaning depart
ment came up for action. The Increase
asked was from $2.60 per day to $2.75 per
day, and was granted.
Salaries Not Equitable.
"This Council should take up tho mat
ter of salaries and go over the pay roll
sytematlcally," said the Mayor, "to see
where Injustices are being done. Some
employes are receiving too little pay,
some are receiving too much, and there
are some who should be kicked right out
of office. It Is a matter that should be
carefully Investigated by the Council,
that justice may be done by all. Em
ployes In the various departments come
before you with petitions for more pay,
and they are frequently granted, with
out due consideration as to the existing
schedule In other departments, and then
employes from the other departments
come In and they want more, so that a
fixed rate should be provided and an end
put to the matter in a satisfactory man
ner." Councilman Drlscoll called up the mat
ter of the franchise of the Economy Gas
Company, and declared that the Council
should revoke It at once, if it is not al
ready revoked by Its own terms. It was
discussed for a short time, and Anally
was found to be with the street commit
tee. Tho committee was instructed to
Investigate and report at the next Coun
cil session the exact status of the fran
chise. City Attorney Kavanaugh re
marked that It Is a very peculiar fran
chise, and that he does not know just
whether Its own terms would revoke It
for failure to perform certain work and
do certain things, but he said that he
thought it could be revoked by the Coun
cil, as, he said, its provisions are pecu
liarly drawn, and that some of its sec
tions conflict with the charter. It was
voted by the people under the initiative.-
Trouble Ahead for Wills.
Councilman Wills Is having hard sled
ding In his efforts to assist in the puri
fication of the North End, as the Council
thus far has shown an inclination to
slight him and to thwart him therein.
Monday afternoon the liquor license com
mittee voted a tie on the question of re
voking the license of Max Zetosch,
charged by Mr. Wills with selling liquor
to an Intoxicated man. The report on
this case was not complied In time for
action yesterday, but the Council re
referred to the liquor license -committee
the case of M. M. Matosin for further
consideration. The committee, at its ses
sion Monday, voted to revoke his license,
but the plan to re-refer went through
without a hitch, much to the chagrin of
Councilman Wills, who was the chief
witness" In the case.
The Council wrestled with the wiring
ordinance, the provisions of which aro
said to make for the betterment of elec
tric linemen, and then sent it back to
City Attorney Kavanaugh. He was In
structed to so word it that the under
ground district will be eliminated, as the
Council believes that It would be .unfair
to compel the companies affected to re
arrange wires overhead and then later b4
obliged to put them In the conduits.
City Attorney Kavanaugh was allowed
an additional deputy at a salary of $1800
per year. It was stated that the office
Is so crowded with official business that
It Is Impossible for the present force to
handle business properly.
BLAME PUT ON CATARACT
OPIUM-WRECKED MAX TEIxLS
COCRT STRAXGE TAL-E. .
Syprler Bridge, Formerly Assistant
Superintendent of Montana Asy
lum Goes to Rockpile. -
Syprler Bridge, ex-assistant super
intendent of the Montana State Insane
Asylum, made the unusual plea, when
he appeared as a derelict in the Muni
cipal Court yesterday morning, that he
was driven to ruin by a cataract of the
eye. His story in court revealed the
havoc that may be wrought on a
strong man by a small ailment.
"It was an insignificant thing to ac
complish the ruin of a man, but 3t
took me to the devil, and I don't ex
pect any one to understand," he said,
standing in rags before Municipal
Judge Van Zante.
"As assistant superintendent of the
Montana asylum I had to respond to
calls at all hours and my sleep came
only when 1 could catch a few hours
of lull. Then came the cataract of the
eye. It was Just a stinging sensation
and. ordinarily, might not have both
ered me, but I could not change my
work. 'And I could not Bleep in the
catch-as-catch-can fashion I'd been
used to. Overwrought and over
worked I would lie down for a few
hours of sleep. But no matter how
tired I was my smarting eye would
keep me awake. When I was at work
I never so much as noticed U
"The natural outcome was that one
day when I was in the last stages of
exhaustion I 'went to the medical
storeroom and got a small portion of
opium for use as an opiate. Scores of
times I had 'administered It to violent
and sleepless Insane patients. Only
those who have crone through the ex-
perlence know what a man will
when he Is desperate for sleep.
"That was the beginning of the end.
After that I had to use opium in order
to get my sleep. Those who have been
there know how quickly that Insidious
drug asserts its mastery. It asserted
Itself on me. I am Its slave. I have
to have It as you have to have food.
Therefore I say that it Is not right for
you to punish me simply because I
happen to be in court. It will do no
good. I will always use opium."
Bridge was a most distressed ap
pearing wreck. 'His clothes were In
the last stages of shabbiness. There
was a ten days' growth of reddish
stubble on his yellow, ghastly face.
He had not even retained so much as
a normal regard for cleanliness, and
his hands were grimy and clawlike.
The police found him. at an early
hour yesterday morning as ne was
leaving an opium den. They searched
him and found a small portion of
ODlum In his pocket, which served as
the basis of his arrest on a charge of
having opium in his possession.
"I had to have opium or toss In bed
all night, and I had not slept for three
nie-hts." he said.
"A cataract of the eye should not
continue to affect you that way," pro
tested City Prosecutor Sullivan.
"The cataract is gone." said Bridge,
"but the power of the opium is on me,
and it decrees that I shall not sleep
or eat until I have used It.
Judge Van Zante was moved by the
man's tale of misfortune. But he did
not Indulge In - any leniency. Such
cases as these are in court every day.
The court docket Is made up every
dav from among those who are the
shadows of themselves.
"Thirty days on the rockpile." was
the terse phrase that brought the trial
of Bridge to an end.
DIETS TWO FOR MURDER

dians, who are charged with killing
Grover Cleveland White and Sidney O.

One Indictment was found against
Frank Fuller, accused of stealing a let
ter addressed to William Farre, sent to
the postofflce at Burns, Or. Another
Indictment respecting mall matters
was found against John Rlgby for pur
loining $34.87 from the postofflce at
Woodstock.
Jacob Kamm was given until March
8 to move for a new trial in the suit
decided against him lately In the Fed
eral Court. Mary Rees, et al., of Pitts
burg. Pa., sued Kamm for machinery
alleged to have been sold to the Snake
River Transportation Company. Kamm
owned a controlling Interest In this
company, and the machinery in ques
tion was for use in the building of a
river boat.
The company became embarrassed in
its money matters, and the Rees heirs
sought to shift legal responsibility on
Kamm by claiming that the business
which resulted in the purchase of the
machinery was handled by Kamm per
sonally. The original claim was for
$7131, but Judgment was given against
Kamm for $16,177, representing the
claim with accrued interest.
William D. Fentom, of the Southern
Pacific, appeared for the plaintiffs, and
W. w. Cotton, of the O. K. & N., was
counsel for the defendant.
.Other Indictments found were as
follows:

drawn. The indictments found against
them were in consequence declared not

The majority of those Indicted were
arrested under bench warrants.
MAKES HIS POSITION PLAIN
AV. C. Aylswortb Discusses Opposi
tion to Widening of Villa Avenue.
PORTLAND, Feb. 24. (To the Editor.)
;Lcst a wrong Impression be formed by
the report of last Monday evening's meet-
of the Montavllla Board of Trade, I de
sire a little space to explain the position
of what Is termed the "opposition" to
the proposition of making Villa avenue
SO feet- wide. There Is not a nrnnprtv-
owner, perhaps. In this city, but would"
like to see villa avenue SO feet wide. But
there are many who do not care to con
tribute to the expense of such widening.
The real opposition to the scheme are
those whose property is within 1000 feet.
but not on the street that it is proposed
to widen. The question those of us who
have property 600 or 1000 feet from Villa
avenue are asking. Is, why should we be
assessed for the benefit of somebody else?
A e have our own streets to attend to.
Montavllla Is having an era of building
and Btreet Improving. There are hundreds
of owners of property who are struggling
to keep up their street assessments.
Added to this extraordinarily heavy taxes
have burdened us to the limit. But as
though this were not enough, along
comes the speculator who has acquired
large holdings on a 60-foot street, at a
60-foot price, and demands that we be
assessed to give him an SO-foot street.
so he can sell his property at an SO-foot
price!
We do not pose as "opposition" to an
80-foot street or any other improvement;
but what we do oppose Is the principle
handed from our forefathers, "Taxation
without representation."

Sues Insurance Company.
The suit of C. F. Johnson against the
Queen City Fire Insurance Company for
$1000 damages, went to trial before Judge
Gatens, in the Circuit Court yesterday
afternoon. Johnson says he carried $750
Insurance on his house and furniture at
349 Jackson street, their value being
$3000. The house was .totally destroyed
by fire July 13, last year. As a reason
for not paying the insurance, the com

Shippers Meet With Officers
of Harriman Lines.
PROMISE THEIR SUPPORT
Local Jobbers Expect to Secure the
Assistance of Chamber of Com-
mere
In Having Central
Oregon Maps Approved.
A movement that is expected to re
sult in the support of the Chamber of
Commerce being given to the Central
Oregon project of the Harriman lines
had its Inception yesterday when a
committee of prominent merchants met
General Manager O'prien of the allied
lines in this territory and talked over
the-present difficulties In the way of
the Deschutes railroad. Help In re
moving the obstacles In the path of
the projected road was pledged by tho
shippers' present
It was the opinion of those in at
tendance at the conference yesterday
afternoon that the transportation com
mittee of the Chamber of Commeroe
will meet with General Manager
O'Brien shortly and that later the
whole organization will put Itself be
hind the movement to open up Central
Oregon. Whatever Influence the Cham
ber has at Washington, and it is known
to be considerable, will be exerted, It
is expected, to have the maps filed
some time ago by the Harriman line
approved by the Interior Department,
so that construction work on the new
line may proceed.
Co-operation Sought For.
The session yesterday was in the
Interests of harmony and to secure
co-operation between the business in
terests and the railroad company In
the construction of the Central Ore
gon line. Those attending said after
the conference that they had a clearer
Idea than before of the difficulties at
tending the construction of the road
and pledged their aid to help the II ar
riman company.
Representatives of the big shippers
of the city in attendance at yester
day's conference were General Charles
F. Beebe, Edward Ehrman, I. Lang, T.
D. Honeyman, J. Smith, Edward New
begin and C. D. Bunn. Officials of
the Harriman lines in attendance were:
General Manager O'Brien, W. W. Cot
ton and R. B. Miller.
The Central Oregon project was the
chief subject of discussion. Those
present realized how desirable It would
be to Portland and the whole state.
They also realized they would bo more
apt to secure the new line by helping
it along Instead of blocking it.
Beebe Wants to Assist.
"There was a disposition on the part
of all who were there," said General
Beebe after the meeting, "to help In
the construction of the projected road
so that it would be an accomplished
fact as soon as possible. It was the
sentiment of the shippers that a boy
cott would be unwise and would only
cause feeling and antagonism when
what is desired Is the accomplishment
of a mutual object. We are convinced
of the entire good faith, of tho com
pany and were informed as to the
difficulties that are causing the delay.
The meeting developed the fullest co
operation between the road and the
shippers and tho latter resolved to do
everything it can to accomplish the
building of the road."
Today's meeting will probably re
sult in a conference between General
Manager O'Brien and the transporta
tion committee of the Chamber of
Commerce," said I. Lang after the ses
sion yesterday afternoon. "The object
Is to have harmony all around. We
should give our support here to hav
ing the maps filed by the company ap
proved. As I understand it, the rail
road cannot proceed until the maps of
the right-of-way are approved. I be
lieve the Chamber of Commerce is
willing to do that and expect It to
take such action within a short time."

THE POTTER
SANTA BARBARA
Gives more for the money than any hotel on the Pacific Coast. The
reason is that THE POTTER has its own ranches which supply all
milk, cream, butter and cheese; all vegetables, poultry and eggs;
roasting pigs and country 6ausage; and has 60,000 pigeons on one
ranch for potpies and broiling squabs. "While it is only a question of
wholesale cost of supply of the freshest and highest quality, it is also
true that a POTTER guest gets the retail benefit, as shown by such
low rates as we quote:

"I can testify to the
great merits of your Emul
sion, especially in all
diseases of a pulmonary,
nature. It has saved many
lives that otherwise would
have yielded to consump

Emulsion in the house all
the time and all the family

cott's
Emulsion
does all it does by creating
flesh and strength so rapidly
that the progress of the
disease is retarded and often
' stopped. It is a wonderful
flesh builder and so easy to
digest that the youngest child
and most delicate adult can
take it. If you are losing flesh
from consumption or any
other cause take Scott's
Emulsion. It will stop the
wasting and strengthen the
whole system.

"My son was cured of a very
bad case of epilepsy with Dr.
Miles' Nervine."

"My little daughter who was
afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
is now entirely well after taking
Dr. Miles' Nervine only four
months."
MRS. C G. BENNETT,
Alma, MicK.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv
ous diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
Dr. Miles' Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re
turn your money.
