Commission, HoTrevcr, Gives Ost
Statement, In Which It Says It
Does Not Yield Jurisdiction
of the Matter.
SCRANTON, Pa., J?ov. 22 The Anthra
cite Coal Strike Commission adjourned to
day to meet December 3, and it is the hope
and expectation of all parties to the con
troversy that when the arbitrators again
meet an agreement on the points in dis
pute wilt Tie ready for submission for ap
proval of the commission. Attorneys on
both sides express the opinion that an
amicable adjustment will be reached and
predict that the commissioners will make
only one more trip to this city.
Before adjourning today a substitute -Or
conciliation committee was appointed in
order that the wishes of the commission
may be officially voiced with regard to
any matter that may arise in the Inter
val. The committee, which is made up of
Commissioners Watklns, Parker and
Clark, this afternoon called into confer
ence as many of the attorneys represent
ing the parties before the commission as
could be gathered on short notice and
stated to them the attitude of the com
mission. After the meeting a statement
was given out in order that the public
may know the position of the arbitrators
regarding the new turn of affairs. JThls
statement follows:
Statement of Commission.
' "It appears that there is some misunder
standing, or some lack of understanding
In connection with the recess taken by the
commission and the suggestion In that
connection that possibly the contestants
might be able to agree upon some of the
important points involved. The recess
was desired by counsel for both sides
because authoritative statements of hours
and wages which are being prepared arc
not yet ready. The suggestion was made
that perhaps some agreement might be
reached between the principals which
would simplify the problem and assist in
reaching proper conclusions. The chair
man, speaking for the commission, stated
that the commission would gladly co
aperate as far as could be consistently
done in furthering an effort to reach an
understanding through conciliatory means
and methods.
"The idea has gone out in some quarters
that the matter is to be settled without
further effortcr responsibility on the part
of the commission. This Idea is entirely
wrong. The part of the commission will,
wrong. The commission will, as
announced, cheerfully encourage a con
ciliatory spirit and action between the
parties to the controversy, but the com
mission has not surrendered and will not
surrender jurisdiction of any matters
which have been referred to it, nor re
sponsibility for the conclusion reached. I
No adjustment can be made which does
not by its terms commend itself strongly
enough to secure the approval of the.
commission and its Incorporation In the
award."
"With a view and for the purpose of re
moving any misunderstanding which
might vexlst, the sub-commission of the
commission invited such of the counsel
representing the several Interests in
volved as coiid be reached to meet this
afternoon. Those at the meeting were
Clarence S. Darrow and Henry D. Lloyd,
of Chicago, and James B. Lenahan, of
Wilkesbarre, representing the -minework-ers;
David Wilcox, vice-president and
general counsel of the Delaware & Hud
son; John B. Kerr, of New York, rep
resenting the Scranton Coal Company and
the Elk Hill Coal & Iron Company; John
T. Lenahan, of Wilkesbarre. and Joseph
O'Brien, of Scranton, attorneys for the
nonunion men; Everett Warren, of
Scranton, for the Pennsylvania Coal
Company, and the Hillside Coal & Iron
Company, and Ira H. Burns, of Scranton,
counsel for the Independent operators.
There were no important developments
today In the matter of agreements be
tween the large coal companies and the
miners. Each side is feeling its way, and
by the early .part of next week they will
be ready to proceed. There were informal
conferences among the attorneys during
the day, but nothing definite was reached.
The rough basis on which the parties in
interest will work Is a o per cent, in
crease, a nine-hour day and yearly agree
ments between the men and the company
which employs them. Tentative propos
als havr been Informally made on both
sides, and It is stated that there is very
little difference between them. The mat
ter of yearly agreements with the men
and not with the United Mineworkers as
an organization will possibly be left to
the commission to arbitrate.
There were many rumors afloat today
that several companies had been making
concessions to the 'miners. The principal
one was that the Delaware & Hudson
Company had offered the men an in
crease in wages of 7, 8 and 9 per cent,
without any further argument, but this
was denied by Mr. Wilcox for the com
pany and Mr. Mitchell for the miners.
Detail of the Session.
The commission ' was in session only
20 minutes today. C. S. Darrow, counsel
for the miners, suggested that the com
mission adjourn either the first or third
day of December. He gave as his reason
the inability of the miners to present ad
ditional facts and figures at this time,
and said If the suggestion was agreed to
"by the attorneys for the operators and
by the commission, he had the greatest
confidence that it would be productive of
much good. Judge Gray, as chairman of
the commission, in reply said he had
listened to the suggestion with much sat
isfaction, and that he felt that the ad
journment would be acceptable to his
colleagues. In the meantime, he hoped
both sides would' confer regarding the
submission of facts and figures, and hoped
that they might be able to consider other
matters satisfactorily. Both sides had
made their submission of their cases, he
said, and the commission cannot abro
gate its duty to make a final award, un
less the-submissions are withdrawn.
Ira H. Burns, of Scranton. one of the
attorneys for the independent operators,
then had a short discussion with Judge
Gray regarding the position of the Inde
pendent operators. He thought the indi
vidual concerns should have been consult
ed in the matter. Judge Gray interrupt
ed to say that the commission was not a
party to anything that had been done by
the large operators or the miners. All the
commission had done had beendone in
open session.
Mr. Burns read a statement, chowing
the position of the Independent operators
at this time. In substance, it declared
that something more vital than the mere
advancing of wages or the recognition of
any labor organization was concerned.
The independent operators believe, the
statement goes on, "that the rights of
American citizens have been assailed, ter
rorized, intimidated, and, indeed, anarchy
has 'prevailed throughout the anthracite
region, and It is the purpone.of the operat
ors to at least have an expression of the
American people through this honorable
commission appointed by the President,
thereby placing their seal of disapproval
upon future acts, so that any one claim-Ins-
to be n. citizen nnrl nnr!n t J-ia
tloii of the American Government would '
hesitate before he would assail the rights
of another individual American."
Under prevailing conditions, the inde
pendent operators declare they cannot
concede an advance of wages, and they
desire the opportunity of presenting facts
and figures which will show, they declare,
that the general average of earnings of
the miners working for the Independent
operators Is over 5700 a year, and in many
Instances from 51000 to 51200 per year.
In declaring the commission adjourned
until December 3, Chairman Gray an
nounced a committee will.be In Scranton
for the purpose of taking matters that
any parties before the commission might
desire to present. Subsequent to the ad
journment, Commissioners Wilkins, Park
er and Clark were appointed by the com
mission to remain here.
The principal attorneys for the miners
and the operators held a conference this
afternoon, at which a general understand-'
lng was had regarding the negotiations to
be entered upon for a settlement. The
greatest confidence was expressed by the
lawyers on both sides that-a final agree
ment would be reached within a few days.

tary principles for their use, charging
them a moderate rental.
Moderate estimate of the fortune of the
deceased place it at 5125,000,000, and his an
nual income during his recent years of
prosperity at $10,000,000. Herr Krupp EVide
a great sum by supplying armor-plate for
the new navy. Besides his Iron works
and shipyards, he had an interest in many
financial enterprises, and recently had
acquired extensive coal properties In con
nection with the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company. Emperor William
was very fond of Herr ISTrupp, and re
peatedly visited him. The Emperor often
had Herr Krupp as his guest at Berlin.
As a special mark of distinction, His
Majesty conferred upon the gunmaker tho
title of "Excellency," which usually is
confined to the highest officials. Ambassa
dors, etc.
When the Kiel Tacht Club, was organ
ized by about 20 naval officials, the Em
peror and Herr Krupp were present. Ad
miral von Senden-Bibran remarked: "We
ough't to have a clubhouse."
"There is only one man who can give it
to us," said the Emperor, as he glanced
at Herr Krupp, who replied that he would
think about it. Out of this suggestion,
Herr Krupp built the clubhouse and the
adjacent hotel and restaurant overlook
ing the Kiel Ford. This group of build
ings cost 51,000.000. Herr Krupp rented
the house to the club for 5250 a year, and
It was expected that the building would
bo presented to the yacht club eventually.
Provision for this gift is believed to hafce
been made in Herr Krupp's wllU
It is understood in Essen that the great
works created by Herr Krupp will be
placed In the hands of trustees for the
benefit of Frau Krupp, her daughters and
the collateral heirs. It is said that the
cousin of the deceased, Arthur Krupp, of
Berndorff, must become tho head of the
management.
Dr. Tahl, Herr Krupp's personal physi
cian, says the first slight stroke of apo-'
plexy was suffered by his patient yester
day evening.
. Emperor Sends Message.
F"rr Krupp determined two days ago
to return to the Island of Capri, believ
ing that he could thus best refute the
accusations that he had left there at the
request of the Italian government. His
private car had already been prepared,
and his baggage, with fishing tackle, was
aboard. He Intended' to start todaj . Em
peror William, upon learning of the death
of Herr Krupp, sent the following tele
gram to the directors of the works at
Essen:
"The news of the unexpected death of
our chief deeply touches me Providence
had placed Privy Councillor Krupp at the
head of an industry that has won a tinme
far beyond the borders of the Fatherland.
He made it a life task, not only ti juain
taln, but to extend in a maitrer corre
sponding to his universal rofiov-n" the
work bequeathed to him by "r.'s gifted
father. His name Is intimately iinked
with the development of the inn Industry,
the manufacture of all kinds tf arms and
modern defenses, and shipbuilding. In
his solicitude for Lis employes no was
unexcelled; he was a model fcr evory one
and was animated by a spirit of loyalty
and patriotism.
"Therefore,. I feel most deeply, in com
pany with his thousands of employes, the
loss of one ,who was ever a stanch and
loyal supporter of the empire."
(Alfred Krupp, the German gun manu
facturer, was born at Essen, In West
phalia, April 26, 1S12. When he was 14
years of age his father, Frlcdrich, the
discoverer of the art of making cast
steel, died, leaving a small forge and
shop for the support of tne family. In
1SI8 the shop, employing only two work
men, was taken in charge by Alfred, who
rapidly increased Its output until he dis
covered a method of casting steel in large
masses. In 1851 he sent to the London
exhibition a block of steel weighing 4500
pounds, and in 1S73 cast steel in one mass
weighing 53 tons. Besides rails, tires,
wheels, engines, and all kinds of cast
stcnl work, he also manufactured the
large steel guns with which the Germans
did such terrible execution when they be
sieged Paris. These guns are all "built
up" by shrinking steel hoops over a cen
tral steel tube. There .is a single layer
of hoops around the guns below nine-inch
Caliber, while these above this size have
two layers of hoops in the after part.
Some 20 years ago the Krupp steel guns
began to be bought in large numbers by
all the European powers. A gun of 1S5
tons was cast for the Russian Govern
ment In, 1SS0, and one of 124 tons was
sent to the Columbian Exposition in 1E93.
Krupp was obliged to extend his works
time and again to fill the pressing or-
ders, and he had as many as 20,000 men
employed in his foundries. The foundries
and shops at Essen extend over 1000 acres,
and in the list is Included the coal m'nfj
at Essen and Bochum, several Iron mines
in Germany and Spain, a series of smel
lng furnaces, and some branch works at
Nerdweid and Layn. In 1S64 Krupp de
clined the letters of nobility offered him
by the King of Prussia. One of the
wealthiest men of Germany, he did a
great deal for the welfare of mnim-oc
and their families. 3ut iie jealously kept
some ot ms processes secret. A commis
sion appointed some years ago to study
his system of making large castings fcr
steel guns tried in vain to get Krupp's
permission to enter his works, only work
men being admitted to his great foun
dries. The gunmaklng concern by far
the greatest of its kind in the world Is
owned by a corporation.)

ACCIDENT OR DESIGN?
HOW WAS THE SHOT FIRED THAT
KILLED ELLEN GORE?
Problem the Paris Police Are Wres
tling With Both Theories Hare
Support Her Last -Will.
PARIS, Nov. 22. The police officials here
admit that they are making no progress
toward the solution of the mysterious
death of Mra Ellen Gore, and this fact
is strengthening the theory that the af
fair was one of accident rather than of
design. Thto view is so strong, especially
among the members of the Russian col
ony, that De Rydezewskl's advocate. Dep
uty Cruppi, today announced his intention
of applying to the court on Monday for
the provisional release of the accused. The
authorities are likely to resist this mo
tion, as they are not yet ready to accept
GERMANY'S GREAT
HERR ALFRED KRUPP.
the theory of accident. Consul-General
Gowdy also Inclines against the accident
theory, but the American officials will not
take an active part in the prosecution.
M. Cruppi's efforts are due to the inter
est which the Ruso'.an friends of the ac
cused have manifested In him, scores of
thera having called upon Judge Jannevel
to testify to his good character. The call
ers Include the Councillor of the Russian
Embassy, Dr. Morlun, who first arrived
upon the scene of the tragedy and has
given outja statement which strengthens
tho advocates of the accident theory
in their belief. He confirms the assertion
made by Dr. Socquot that the ball ranged
upward and concludes that the tragedy
was the natural result of the weapon be
ing discharged accidentally by a fall to
the floor.
On the other hand, one of the American
officials assigned to the case says his per
gonal inspection of Mrs. Gore's body shows
that the direction of the bullet was almost
parallel with the surface of the earth and
that the point at which the ball emerged
from the back of the head .was hardly a
half inbh higher than the point at which
It entered above the eye. This conflicts
with the theory of the French physician
and tends to strengthen the murder the
ory. Letters and telegrams In the possession
of the police show the circumstances of the
meeting on the day of the tragedy and
exonerate Mrs. Gore from the suspicions
which might arise from her presence in
De Rydezewskl's room. One of the letters
shows that she wished to see De Rydezew
skl. This letter he anmvered bv teleeranh
saying that he was suffering from a sore!
throat and that It was Impossible for him
to go out. As' a result of his inability to
leave his room, Mrs. Gore went to him.
Some of the officials contend that the
visit wco of a business nature. This the
ory is apparently borne out by the state
ment that a check for 550. drawn to the
order of Mra Gore, Is said to have been
found by the police In. De Rydezewskl's
desk. The existence of this check, how
ever, has not been fully established, owing
to the reticence of the police.
Consul-Gencral Gowdy has received a
cable message from Attorney Butler, of
Mexico City, asking that Mrs. Gore's body
be given kindly burial. The Consul-General's
quick action prevented the following
out of the usual cuntom of burning un
claimed bodies In lime. He wrote to the
morgue authorities regarding the matter
and the funeral has been 3et for Monday.
The interment will be In the Boulogne
Cemetery.
A cablegram hag been received here by
a former friend of Mrs. Gore, a New York
lawyer, announcing that the latter has in
his possession a will executed by Mrs.
Gore last December. The details of the in
strument, however, are not given.
Written antecedents of Mra Gore, fur
nished to the Magistrate, state that she
had lived at various times In San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Cal., Columbus, O., and
Chicago. The documents also show that
Chicago friends Induced Mrs. Gore to take
up music ao a profession.
The examination of De Rydezewski will
be held as soon a3 the Judge has received
the report of the expert armorer regard
ing the cause of the wound.

TWO REPORTS VARY GREATLY.
One Says Cold-Blooded Mnrder, Other
Say Self-Defense.
WASHINGTON, Now 22. The State De
partment today received reports from Min
ister Hunter, at Guatemala City, and Consul-General
McNally. at the same place,
regarding the case of Godfrey Hunter, Jr.,
and Secretary Bailey of the American Le
gation there, who were parties to tho
shooting .affray resulting In the death of
William fitzgerald "yesterday. Mr. Mc
Nally's latest advico gives the aspect of
a shocking and cold-blooded murder, mak
ing it appear, that Secretary Bailey was
a party to tho crime, holding up Fitz
gerald with a revolver In front, while
Hunter shot the man from behind.
Minister Hunter's statement Is a flat
contradiction of this report. He says his
6on, Godfrey, and Secretary Bailey, while
sitting on a bench In a public park, were
attacked by Fitzgerald, who struck
Hunter and snapped a pistol, which failed
to explode. Hunter thereupon shot and
killed him.
The existence of a conspiracy between
member. of the American colony. Includ
ing Consul-General McNally. Is charged by
Dr. Hunter. It Is known here that a
bitter personal feud has existed for sev-,
eral years between Dr. Hunter and Mr.'
McNally.

hear from the Guatemalan government be
fore taking action in the matter.

Place of next convention, Boston.
The foregoing officers were elected by
the American Federation of Labor today.
Without exception they are hold-overs
from last year, the fraternal delegates,
however, not being classed as officers.
There were but two .contests for positions.
Frank Duffy, of the carpenters, ran for
fifth vice-president against Thomas I
Kidd, of the woodworkers, and was
beaten nearly out of sight.
The convention was in almost continu
ous session from 9 o'clock in the morning
until a late hour at night, matters of
routine of little general Interest being
disposed of.
A resolution Introduced by Delegate
Berger to Increase the members of tho
executive council from nine to 11 was
reported adversely by tho committee on
laws. The report of the committee was
adopted. The report of the grievance J
committee, unfinished last night, was- then
taken up. It related to international af
fairs of local unions, and for-the most
part its sections were approved without
debate.
The election of officers was taken up at
10 o'clock. Delegate J. J. Creamer, of the
machinists, named President Samuel
Gompers for re-election. There were no
other nominations, and on motion of W.
D. Ryan, of iho mineworkers, the secre
tary of the convention was instructed to
cast the unanimous vote of the conven
tion for Mr. Gompers. This was done and
he was declared duly elected. The ap
plause that greeted the announcement
was flatering in the extreme, and it waa
long before Mr. Gompers could make him
self heard when he rose to thank tho
delegates. He spoke at considerable
length, promising to attempt as much for
trade unionism in the future as -he had
in the past.
After the choice of officers election of
delegates was taken up. For fraternal
delegate to the next labor convention of
Great Britain Max S. Hayes was elected
unanimously. The second ballot for Can
adian delegate resulted; Coleman 5147,
Taylor 2807.
At the afternoon session, Lawrence,
Mass.; Lowell, Mass.; Austin, Tex., and
Cripple Creek, Colo., were placed In nom
ination for the next convention, but all
of them were withdrawn. Boston waa
elected on the first ballot, the vote stand
ing: Boston 5312. Philadelphia- HSS, San
Francisco 233S. Milwaukee 260.
The committee on executive council re
port was next reported and declared
against "government by injunction," with
this modification:
"We recognize the authority of the
.courts to issue Injunctions to prevent the
destruction of property and violations of
the lav.."
This createda decided stir In the con
vention. The debate closed by the com
mittee announcing that It would withdraw
the objectionable sentence from the re
port. The report was then adopted.
The committee disapproved of the action
of the executive counfll In issuing a char
ter to the special order of clothing mak
ers, and recommended that the charter
be revoked and that the organization be
united with the United Garment Work
ers as a special division, their present
standard of wages to be maintained.

STOP
THAT
Colds
Lead to Catarrh-Catarrh
to Consumption.
A Beautiful
Girl's
Experience
NINE CASES of consumption out of
ten occur In this way:
A person catcher a cold. The
cold Is not properly cured, and they quick
ly catch another one. Thte cold Is dilly
dallied with by no treatment, or some
treatment that Is ineffectual, and the cold
continues.
Thon they catch another cold and begin
to cough. Then they take cough syrups,
but they do no good.
By and by they get tired of taking
medicine, and glvo up in dcspilr.
Their cold continues, and their cough
grows worse. Then they apply to a doc
tor, only to discover that they are in the
first stages of consumption.
Mis3 Lillla, of Illinois, started out ex
actly in this way. Fortunately, she took
a course of Peruna before It was too late.
She had caught several colds, then a
cough developed. She took all sort3 of
cough medicines until, as she puts it, "I
sickened at the sight of them." In four
weeks Peruna had cured her of her ca
tarrh, and her system was entirely rid of
it.
This Is what Peruna Id doing all the
while. Not a day, - and probably not an
hour, passes but some 'ono has a similar
experience with Peruna.'
The first step toward consumption Is
catching cold. The next step Is a failure
to cure It promptly. The third step la the
development of catarrh, which gradually"
becomes chronic. The fourth step, the ca
tarrh begins to spread from the head to
plunged into the stream to rescue him. A
peculiarity of the case Is that at the
time Mrs. Graham held 'her Infant in her
arms. Although the mother brought the
body of her son to shore efforts to re
suscitate him were unavailing.
POSTOFFICE ROBBED.
Probably 910,000 Taken, and Thief
Got Safely Away.
CHICAGO, Nov. 22. The Chicago post
office was robbed of probably $10,000 today
In a most daring manner. The robber
made his escape without leaving any clew
to his identity. Two registered mall
sack3 containing the money, which had
Just been picked up from two of the
downtown substations, were left In an un
protected wagon in front of the Masonic
Temple, while the mall-carrier went into
the building to gather mail that had
"accumulated there. The-carrlcr was gone
only a moment, but when he returned hl3
horse and wagon had disappeared. While
the'carrler had been In the building tlfts
robber, who had evidently bsen waiting
his opportunity, Jumped into the rig and
drove away. The rifled sacks and tho
horse and rig were afterward found where
the thief had abandoned them. The street
was full of people at the time of the rob
bery, but no one seems to have noticed
the thief.
Potato Yield Short.
The yield of potatoes in the Willamette
Valley is estimated to be about 20 per
cent short of what it was last year. Last
season outward shipments were probably
2C00 carloads, or 3&0C0 ton3, according to
McKInley Mitchell, a prominent potato
dealer. The average price was about
51 25 per sack, or ?25 per ton. Exports,
therefore, brought to growers something
like $753,GGO. According to present Indica
tions, the average" price this year will be
about 7n cr SO cents per cental, or about
?1C per ton. These figures mean that
Willamette Valley farmers will get only
a little more than half the money they
received last year for their potato crop.

"Yes."

"Yes."

COUG
Miss Alma Ullla, COS Eigh
teenth street, Robk Island, Ills.,
says:
I am a firm friend to Peruna,
for it cured me In two days of a
cough which had been annoying
me for three weeks, and which had
developed a serious catarrhal af
fection of the throat and lungs.
I had a number of colds during
the year and each left me with a
little more catarrh, then this bad
cough was the worst. I took cough
medicines until I sickened at the
sight of them. But Peruna cured
me up in such quick time, that I
am Its firm friend. Four weeks'
constant use of it got the catarrh
entirely out of my system.
'It deserves all the praise be
stowed upon it." Alma Lillfa.

flpreads to the bronchial tubes and lungs.
It then becomes consumption in its first
stage.
At any time during the progress of tho
catarrh, from the first onset of the cold
to its final settlement In the lungs. Peru
na can be rolled upon to stop the dis
ease. It cures entirely. Even after con
sumption has become thoroughly devel
oped, many cases -have found In Peruna
a permanent cure. After they have been
given up by physicians to die of consump
tion. Peruna has cured them. We have
hundreds of- testimonials that dcclaro
these facts in tho most enthusiastic lan
guor. U. S. Senator John M. Thurston, from
Nebraska, writes the following letter:
Washington. D. C, April 6, 1S91.
"I have used. Peruna at various times
during the past year or two with most
satisfactory results.
"It entirely relieved me from an irri
tating cough the result of excessive ef
fort in the Presidential campaign, and I
am a firm believer in its ejllcacy in any
such trouble." Jr.o. M. Thurston.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman. giving a
full statement of your cas'e. and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It la
in Preserving: Health anil Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
13 the safest and most efficient disinfect
ant and purifier In nature, but few real
ize Its- value when taken into the human
system for tho same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better: it is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs tht gases and im
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out ot
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and im
provc the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases whldh
collect in the stomach and bowels; It dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is In
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in the' form of
large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the
charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a. much improved condition
or the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer biood, and the
beauty of it is. that no possible harm can
result frcm their continued use, but on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, saye: advlao
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat- 1
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the dally use cf them; they cost but
twenty-five cents a bos at drug stores,
and although In some sense a patent
preparation, yet I believe I get more and
better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent
Lozenges than in any of the ordinary
charcoal tablets."
