4 PACIFIC COAST NEWS Co-operation Favored by California Growers. WORKING IN HARMONY. Local Exchanges to Be Formed in Every Section of the State. PROTECTION OF THE FORESTS. A System Similar to That in France Advocated The Convention Adjourns.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 8. -The California State Fruit-Growers' Association resumed the discussion of co-operation this morning and it was generally conceded that a co-operative organization would tend to unite the fruit-growers of the entire State. If the middleman's commission could be saved to the growers it would be a great aid to the industry. The convention was of the opinion that a market should be established for Califor- nia fruits in every city in the Union possessing a population of over 10,000, and that growers should be so strongly organized throughout California that no one market would receive enough fruit to produce a glut.

It was suggested that good agents be sent over the State to form local exchanges member of the convention on his return home call together his neighbors and state the conclusion the convention had reached, and by this method perfect such an organization. The first thing to do, however, was to unite, build a warehouse, have a fruit garden and then let onfc man's fruit help to sell another's. It was agreed that the business must be reduced to a system to insure success; consignments were middlemen loan the growers money to market their crops, take a mortgage on the farm and oblige the grower to ship through their agencies. The committee appointed to report on the president's address favored asking the Legislature for the following appropriations: For $5000 for the destruction of insect pests; for $5000 to defray the expenses of the State Bureau of Horticulture. The report was adopted.

The committee on legislation submitted the following, which was adopted: "We recommend to the California Congressional delegation the initiation oE a measure to secure an efficient and economical administration of the Government and mountain and forest lands in California. The present forest reservations are in the right line to protect from lire and undue denudation, our mountain watersheds. This will diminish Hoods in the valley lands, and better maintain irrigation supplies. This policy requires no more in this State than in France a prevention of the utilization of the mineral, forest or other resources of our mountain lands. ''In France and Germany the Government forest lands pay a.

large return above their cost into the public treasury. There is no reason why we thould not gradually establish a similar system. Fire, waste and destruction in our forest lands are senseless and do permanent injury to our watersheds. The present forest reservations make legitimate mineral and other developments in our mountains difficult without any proper protection against fire and injury, except about the Yosemite. This should be remedied' by Federal At the afternoon session of the convention the grading of fruit was discussed, and one gentleman gave an account of his trip to Germany in the ilried fruit interests.

He found the American dried apricots were in demand, but that dried peaches were not wanted. He examined several samples and found tnat they were extremely defective, not heing dried" properly. Samples of peaches which he had with him he distributed, and they were universally commended. Mr. Berry told his experience and the success of introducing California fruit products into foreign markets.

He had presented 500 pounds of dried fruit to a young man, whose father conducted a grocery business in Bristol, and shortly afterward an order had been received for two carloads of the same products. Secretary Lelong, by request, delivered a yery interesting address ou the oiive and proper method of preparing it for market. A discussion ensued upon the proper place for the convention in '96. Riverside, San Jose and San Dieeo were all anxious to entertain the growers, but eventually it was left to the executive committee. Vice- President R.

D. Stevens gave a cordial invitation on the part of Sacramento as the next place to convene, and the convention adjourned. KOVALEV IS NOT INSANE. His Unnatural Pallor Due to the Long Confinement in Prison. The Man Accused of Killing the Webers Must Stand Trial for His Life.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. lvan Kovalev must stand trial for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. P. H.

L. Weber. Tne second jury impaneled to decide upon the question of his sanity has declared him perfectly sane. He has been subjected to a rigid examination by seven physicians and his mental equilibrium proven beyond a doubt. Kovaiev's unnatural pallor is declared to be the result of close imprisonment, and his.

air of hopelessness is believed to be caused either by remorse or, possibly, ignorance of the trial to which he is about to be subjected and a belie; that it is the same arbitrary court proceeding of his native land, almost certain to end in either imprisonment or death. Fresno's'. Police Row Settled. FRESNO, Nov. Fresno's police row was settled by the City Trustees last night.

Three policemen, who had been temporarily suspended by the Trustees at their last meeting pending an investigation of charges of imbibing liquor while on duty, were reinstated. This action is meeting with disfavor in some quartan, it baing claimed that no investigation was made. ACQUITTED AT REDDING. Mrs. Miller, the Slayer of Her Husband, Declared to Have Been Insane.

REDDING, Nov. After being out four hours the jury in the trial of Mrs. Mary Miller, charged with murder, returned a verd'ctat o'clock to-night of not guilty, by reason of insanity. The trial has occupied the attention of the Superior Court for over a week. Expert testimony was adduced showing the defendant to be insane and irresponsible.

Mrs. Miller killed her husband, Frank Miller, with a hatchet, in his store in this city on the morning of Angust 1. She acknowledged striking him, but said she did not intend to kill him. Mrs. Miher will now be examined before a medical commission and no doubt sent to an insane asylum.

Affray yenr I'licenix. PHCENIX, Nov. John Pinion, colored, last night shot two Mexicans at a Mexican saloon near this city. Francisco Inijada will die. The affair seems to have been a drunken brawl, though the negro affirms the Mexicans attacked him with the intent to commit robbery, and the shooting was in self-defense.

TACOMA'S REFORM WAVE County Treasurer Hedges 1 Name Enrolled Among Inmates of the Jail. Wholesale Arrests of County, City and Columbia Bank Officials Continue. TACOMA, Nov. The reform wave and the attendent arrest of city, county and bank officials goes bravely on and, following in the wake of the arrest of George W. Boggs, ex-City Treasurer; W.

13. Allen, president of the Bank of Tacoma; ex-City Treasurer.l. W. McCauley, County Commissioner W. L.

Bartholomew and Cashier Peters of the Columbia Bank, a thunderbolt struck the city when County Treasurer John B. Hedges was arrested yesterday on a warrant sworn out by Samuel Wilkeson. The complaint chargps the County Treasurer with having used over of county funds for the purpose of making a profit for himself, contrary to the statute, the charge being exactly similar to that made against ex-City Treasurer J. W. McCauley.

There was considerable misunderstanding concernins the serving of the warrant, it having been issued in the morning and kept all day, and Sheriff Parker orlered I. is deputy to serve it in the evening, making it impossible for Hedges to secure bail, ich was lixod at $10,000. Mr. Hedges had been Deputy Treasurer for several years previous to his election last November, and some years ago was a partner of Cashier Peters in the business. Following the arrest of Hedges came serious charges against M.

Taylor, president of the Boird of Public Works. Kxaminer Cleary, in his thorough examination of the books of the defunct Columbia Bank, found entries and slips for $500, which show Mr. Taylor in a very bad light, Taylor's son being carried on the payroll for five months past, though receipts for his salary are found for only two months. Cierks in the bank testify that young Taylor never worked there, but Bimply drew his salary. Taylor, president of the Board of Public Works, it is charged, used his influence to help keep the city's money in the defunct bank, providint-'he got a rakeofl and a place was provided for his son.

It was reported last spring that Mr. Taylor psed his influence with Major Oliver, a member of the School Board, as president of the bank, to induce him to vote for Mr. Yotaw for secretary of the School Board. The intimation was very directly conveyed to the major that the city money deposited in his bank might be suddenly" called for in case he did not vote for Votaiy. Some very spicy developments are promised in Taylor's case.

That the Columbia Bank is proving a genuine mine of information for city and county investigators has been proven beyond all doubt. It has already furnished the evidence which has caused the arrest of the city and county treasurer and its own cashier, besides supplying evidences that promises to make it tropical for the president of the Board of Public Works. Mr. Hedges' predecessor in office was a depositor at this bank and so were the county officials, and a thorough examination is being made which will probably lead to the arrest of several others. The finger of suspicion points also to two councilmen, who are under surveilance, and in all probability a round dozen arrests will be made within the next week.

NO USE TOR A KICKEE. The Way to Recuperate Is to Pay Your Hoard aud Ask No Questions. After getting washed up I went down on the veranda to have a little interview with the landlord of the mountain hotel to which I had been recommended. "Any fish around was the natural first question. "Dunno," he replied, as he glanced toward the brook.

"Is the mountain in front accessible?" "Mebbe shear." "Do the people do much driving about up here?" "Can't say." "What is the altitude of your house above the sea?" "I never figgered." did your thermometer register last night?" "Hain't got none." "Do you expect to have a full house this season?" "Kinder expect." "How do your guests amuse themselves?" "Dunno." I was determined to bring him out of his shell if it were possible, and after an interval I queried: "Do you get a daily mail up here?" "I guess so," he gingerly replied. the landlord of the hotel you ought to be posted on all these things, hadn't you?" He slowly faced around, took a long look at me, and finally asked "Didn't you come up here to recooperate?" "Yes, I did." "Wall, I'm givin' ye a good straw bed, meat and 'taters twice a day and as good spring water as yell find in the Catskills. If ye want to recooperate go ahead and recoop.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1895. PACIFIC COAST NEWS "As You Like It Presented in the Open Air at Stanford. COMEDY ON THE CAMPUS. Escondito Lawn Transformed Into a Typical Forest of Arden. BEAUTIFUL SCENIC EFFECTS.

A Thousand Spectators Applaud the Gallant Orlando and Fair Rosalind. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 8. Escondito Lawn, the garden spot of Stanford, was transformed into a forest of Arden to-day, and an audience of 1000 people gathered under the stately trees to applaud a presentation of Shakespeare's "As You Like It" by the Friedlander THE ESCONDITO LAWK, WHERE "AS YOU LIKE IT" WAS PRESENTED BEFORE STANFORD STUDENTS. Company, which scored a success at Sutro Heights some weeks ago.

For days past workmen have been busily engaged in pre- i paring the campus theater-grounds, and the natural growth of oaks and pines and artistically trimmed shrubs combined in a I setting for a scene unusually attractive, The weather was delightful for such a per- formance. Among the spectators were the Stanford student-body, practically in its entirety, the families of faculty members and several hundred visitors from neighboring towns and San Francisco. A gradually rising platform was completely covered with seats, which were all tilled. The players, in the early days of English drama, wore forced to content themselves with the greensward. The incongruity of nineteenth-century grounds i and costumes, the words and the movements of men of a time so far past, as portrayed in "As" You Like It," probably struck the minds of all spectators.

Nevertheless, the work of the flayers was generally of such a high dramatic order that each scene was fascinating to onlookers, i and each one forgot inconsistencies in the skillful manner with which the laughable comedy was handled. Notwithstanding the fact that the performance lasted over two hours and a half, it was necessary to cut many good parts of the work. This to some extent doubtless marred the satisfactory completeness of the original, and, perhaps, was accountable for the perceptible hunting for lost cues by the actors. Especially toward the end of the I play, those acquainted with the text must have been perturbed at the seemingly needless transposition and unpardonable loss of lines. The woik of Frank Armstrong as Orlando was a finished piece of acting, and that gentleman easily carried off the honors of the male contingent with his clever portrayal of the fiery, valiant, yet generous-hearted son of Rowland de Bois and lover of Rosalind.

His work was characterized by strength, and the many fine passages put into the hero's mouth by Shakespeare met warm applause at this actor's rendition of them. At no time was there an embarrassing pause when Orlando should speak. Pauline French made an ideal Rosalind, and by her work disclosed the care which she must have given to one of Shakespeare's most difficult passages. With her i natural, girlish beauty, her winning pres- I ence and graceful gestures she was admirable, but it was in her expressive delineation of the sentiments which must have animated the original Rosalind that Pauline French displayed her ability as an actress. She appeared forgetful of self and wholly absorbed in the character she enacted.

It is but fair to remark, however, that this actress' voice is not sufficiently strong for open-air productions. Touchstone's peculiar, lively character was done ample justice by Percy Hunting. The bubbling wit and comical antics of Touchstone the Fool were assumed by him in a praiseworthy manner, and his efforts elicited much applause. Miss Gallrich as Phebe made considerable of her role as the disdainful shepherdess beloved of Sylvius. The work of the remaining members of the cast was not of an especially high order, though Miss Heffon made a highly ludicrous Audrey.

The many songs interspersed throughout Shakespeare's comedy were finely sung by the Stanford Glee Club, whose members were in the cast as foresters. From an artistic point of view the performance was a decided success. Financially, the management will come out but slightly ahead, as the expense of letting the troupe here was great, and a considerable outlay was made in getting the best possible scenic effects.

TEN YEARS IN FOLSOM Light Sentence for Murderer Giovanni Carazzi at Los Angeles.

Escaped His Deserts for a Brutal Killing by Pleading Guilty to a Lesser Crime. LOS ANGELES, Oiovanni Carazzi, the Italian who was brought back from Trenton, N. to answer for the killing of Roy Kenner, a negro blacksmith, on December 20, in this city, announced to Judge Smith this morning that he wanted to plead guilty of manslaughter. He stated that before he was sentenced he wanted to make a statement of how the crime was committed. An interpreter was sworn in and Carazzi through that medium went into a rambling story of how he did not commit murder, but somebody else did.

He said it was a job put up on him and he was innocent of having done wrong. His enemy, he said, belonged to a society and had many false witnesses who would swear against him. The court listened to his statement and then sentenced him to ten years' imprisonment at the Folsorn Penitentiary. Roy Kenner was a popular man among all his acquaintances, and a good blacksmith. Carazzi took a wagon to him to be repaired.

After the repairs were finished he went to take it away, but Kenner refused to let it go until he was paid for the work. Carazzi became wrathy and threatened vengeance, but the brawny blacksmith did not pay much attention to his talk. He went about his business in the shop and while his back was turned to the muttering Italian the latter sprang at him and plunged a long knife into his back. The wounded man was taken at once to his house on Collece street, but died before reaching it. Carazzi tied after the commission of his murderous assault and for months nothing could be learned of his movements.

He is regarded as one of the most dangerous criminals in the country, and four other murders are said to have been committed by him. He belongs to the much-feared Mafia Society, and it is regarded as astonishing that he should have been permitted to escape a punishment commensurate with the crime he committed. Judge Smith gave him the extreme limit of the punishment fixed by law for manslaughter. CHAXIMISR'S CHITICISM. Says Eayard'a Speech HVrs a Disgrace to Americanism.

NEW YORK, N. Nov. Senator William E. Chandler, who. in his New.

Hampshire newspaper recently, predicted war between the United States and England, is at the Fifth-avenue Hotel. When i seen to-day by a reporter Mr. Chandler was reading an account of the speech made yesterday by Embassador Thomas F. Bayard before the Edinburgh Philosophical Society. "Such a speech is a disgrace to the spirit of Americanism," said the Senator.

"The idea of our Embassador to Great Britain talking in such a strain. If the people of Great Britain are to believe the statements made yesterday by Mr. Bayard they would be of the that the policy of the United States Government is one of absolute socialism. Such willful misrepresentation cannot fail to produce an effect adverse to our interests. In regard to the statements denouncing protection, Mr.

Bayard's words are easily scouted, and they would not have been given credence by any one at all familiar with the condition of this country under high and low tariff." A law was passed in England in 1750 to the effect that at parties "ladies must not get drunk on any pretext whatever, and gentlemen not before 9 o'clock." PACIFIC COAST NEWS Swindler Arlington Caught by the Officers at Suisun. JAILED AT SAN JOSF. An Aged Confidence Man Who Victimized Many Hard- Working Girls. BOBBED OF THEIR SAVINGS. He Had Proposed Marriage to Them and Then Borrowed Their Money.

SAX JOSE, Noj. Chief Kidward returned from Sujlun this evening with Arthur Arlington, who is charged with swindling Addie Dowden of Santa Clara out of $47. Arlington, who is about 50 years of age, came to this city two months ago, and posed as a rich rancher who was in need of a first-class servant. He visited the various employment offices, representing that money was no object if the proper person could be secured. He had many applicants for the position, and each applicant seemed to suit him exactly.

While making arrangements with the girls who were to preside over his household he incidentally professed love for them and proposed marriage. While this question was being considered by the unsuspecting girls he showed checks for large amounts of money, but complained of inability to secure small change. Under various pretects he secured the savings of the girls, and then hied himself away. It was in this way that he met Addie Dowden and secured $47 from her. Arlington, who was formerly a dentist, has served two terms in the State penitentiary for burglaries committed in San Francisco.

He was then known as L. Miller, alias Charles Holman, alias Charles His first term was for live years and the second ten years. The charge of prior conviction will be urged against him. XOItMAL SCHOOL GRADUATES. Diplomas Presented to a Large Class of Students.

L. 1 Fowkes, President; L. W. Reeber, Secretary.

Sacramento, Oct. 4, 1894. To the Editor of tht San Francisco am; On Monday evening, October 4, preamble and resolutions were presented for the consideration of Sacramento Federated Trades Council condemnatory of the action taken by some ihree hundred laborers of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in this city at a meeting held by them in Armory Hall on Saturday evening, October 19, 1895. In speaking of these laborers we referred to them as "alleged laborers," and we used the term advisedly The parties who composed that meeting had by their action in attending said meeting and supporting the resolutions there promulgated cast aside all right or titie to being designated "American laborers." Therefore we were justified in referring to them as "alleged laborers Again, certain newspapers of this city have seen fit to take us to task for using the 'words "and in defiance, and without regard to recrularly organized labor, did, in mass-meeting aijsembled, pass resolutions," etc. AYe desire state that we acknowledge error, in that we 1 should have inserted after the word "defiance 11 the words "of rjrinciple of American manhood." The words, "and without regard to regularly organized labor" were used simply as a mild way of stating that had the "alleged laborers" been engaged in a legitimate protest, they would have notified all labor organizations, and the public generally, through the local columns of the daily press, of their intentions, and would have asked our co-oporatlon (which would have been most cheerfully extended in a legitimate cause), instead of making a sneaking march through the then deserted business portion of the city after night- Jhll and then parsing resolutions and denouncing and attempting to intimidate state officers into a disreputable violation of their sworn duty to their constituents, all of which no American with the slightest spark of manly principle in his heart could or would countenance or tolernte.

The Evening Bee and the the former alleged by the rending public ol this city and elsewhere to wear the "railroad collar," ami the latter owned, plant aud brains, by the have each taken umbrage at the resolutions set forth by this council, declaring, among other things, that the railroad employes shoind bear no weight in the deliberations of the Railroad Commission as aeainst the overwhelming odds of other industrial workers in the State. We respectfully submit that there was no more cruelty suggested or asserted in that resolution than the truth, boldly proclaimed, indicates. It is a wellknown fact that organized labor will at all times extend to unorganized labor its moral support in its efforts to prevent degradation in any form or while attempting to better Us condition, but unorganized labor need expect no more than moral support. If unorganized labor would receive more from organized labor then it must organize and affiliate and stand its share of the expense and untiring effort necessary to bring order out of chaos. The speakers at Saturday (October 19) night's meeting asserted that the Southern Pacific Company was paying its employes higher wages than any other railroad in the United States.

While we believe that assertion will not bear investigation, still, admitting it to be true, do not the poor dupes know that the "monkey" who was using them at that time was simply paving ihe way for any future reduction that Uncle Collis and his satellites may determine upon, by using their own declaration, made In mass-meeting assembled, against them? The railroad organs of this city act as though they knew they could stuff "any kind of buncombe down the throats of the railroad employes. They have seared them into protesting against the proposed cut in transportation rates by intimating that the corporation would be compelled to make up the difference in net profits by cutting wages. And the men seem to be imbued with the idea that they cannot help themselves, but must prostitute their American manhood at the behest of their employer. Then, again, the Record-Union comes forward with the startling intelligence that byreason of the proposed reduction in transportation rates our State will be flooded with the "pauper and prison-labor manufactures" of the East. Think of a reduction thajr can only be enforced within the confines of the errea't State of Californie so reducing the freight on Eastern manufactures and products as to Hood our glorious State and ruin and bankrupt our manufacturers and merchants I And then, too, this anomaly, that cheaper transportation on freights does not bring reduced prices to the consumer.

Why have, merchants complained from time to time to the Railroad Commision, and even to the courts in years gone by that the railroad company was discriminating against them and in favor of some competitor, who was thereby enabled to updersell them? Why is it that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company has, from the first operation of its road, held this same discrimination scheme as a club over the head of every merchant in California, aye, on the whole Pacific Slope, who could not avail himself of water or railroad competition, and who should in any wise incur the displeasure of the operators of the Southern Pacific? It has been entirely due to the short-sighted policy of the directorate of the Southern Pacific corporation that with her boundless resources, her vast area, her unrivaled and diversified climate, unsurpassed soils, her unlimited has been held back, and her growth in population and productiveness retarded, while a few meu at the head of the gigantic octopus have accumulated fabuious and umerited aye, illegal wealth; the Government bare-facedly robbed; the people bled to the tune of "all the trattic will laborers cut down and forced at the point of the bayonet into abject submission; settlers and home-builders shot down in the sight of their families; shareholders robbed of their legitimate dividends, and general distress, misery und poverty where prosperity and happiness should reign supreme. And, iurther, the mouthpieces of the railroad would inculcate the belief in the minds of the roads employes and the general public- that the California Railroad Commission Intends to reduce the transportation rates 2s percent regardless of the ability of the railroad corporation to make its necessary operating expenses and. a fair dividend on its paid-up capital stock under such cut. Nothing was ever more fallacious. In the first place the commission has no such power under the laws of this State or of the United States; and, if the commission had the power and the desire, the populac-e would not permit it, as the railroad, operated under proper laws is a necessity of our modern civilization and must be maintained.

Finally, the Bee intimates that Mr. La Rue, one of the Commissioners, had a hand in conceiving the resoiutiohs presented to this council on October 21. We desire to enter a disclaimer, in justice to Mr. La Rue. The resolutions were written at no one's suggestion.

We are free to say the author of the resolutions never had an opportunity for an introduction to that gentleman. He saw him but once in his life, and that was at the Democratic City Convention, and he has never spoken nor written to Mr. La Rue. So that gentleman's skirts are clear of any blame that may by any chance be attached to the passing and publishing of said resolutions. Furthermore, the preamble and resolutions in question were written by a Democrat; submitted to a committee composed of three Republicans for amendment or alteration if they saw fit; then submitted to consideration and vote of the delegates present, consisting of two or three Democrats, seven or eight Republicans and the remainder Populists, who directly represent about 1500 organized waseeurners in this city and by affiliation over 50,000 in the State.

Therefore politics did not enter into it. The resolutions were passed without a dissenting voice or vote. Respectfully submitted. Sacramento Federated Trades Council.

COVERS THE FIELD.

It Takes a Washingtonian to Do it, Though. He Misses No Point, Though What He Says Is Short. "Brevity is the soul of wit," said the proverb-maker, and on this occasion he was not far from making a point that would count in a contest of wise sayings. But that question of proverbs covers a pretty wide field. On the one hand you are told that "Everything comes to him who knows now to wait," and again that "Those who knock loudest and longest will enter first." You have beard doubtless that "It can never do harm to tell the truth" (especi- ally if you are going to shame the devil by by the act), but your neighbor will retort to you (if he eeta the chance), that "Silence is golden." This sort of comparison could go on endlessly, but it is not profitable.

The fact is, if a man has his head "screwed I on level' and "knows his text well, he is quite as likely to make a remark as any of the savants who have "gone before" and whose glory often rests principally on the fact that they are dead. Apropos of all this, Mr. George H. Rice, who is not fond of appearing before the public, has recently "given voice" to some of the straightest truths, in the shortest form, which have been heard of. Mr.

Rice is a his home being at Fort Canby, in that and not long ago, while in a very depressed and nervous condition, he sought help. His system was all run down from extraneous causes and collapse seemed likely to ensue at any moment. The great specialists of the Hudson Medical Institute, however, came to his aid, ana while it was none too soon, it was yet in time. This is the terse and vigorous way in which he expresses him- self as to the good he received from plac- ing himself in the hands of the wonderful doctors whose big white buildine stands on the corner of Stockton, Market and Eliis streets. Fort Canby, Aug.

5, 1895. Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco, Gentlemen: I thought I had written you long ago, hut find I have not. The treatment from the Hudson Medical Institute is all that could be expected or desired by any one. Your medicine has established a perfect cure in my case which I hope will be permanent. lam unable to sufficiently praise it, but suflico it to say that I feel in every respect as a man should.

Yours repectfully. Geobge H. Rice. There is truth in a nutshell. Not a word is wasted, and yet Mr.

Rice has said all that was necessary. He is a keen, clear- headed man; But there are plenty of others who indorse all that he has said. S. M. Hooker of Los Angeles writes: "I now feel as though I was a cured and a well man." Frank Mmturn of St.

Louis, says: "I have not felt so well in five years as 1 do now." Robert Ashurst Jr. of l'anoche, "Am no longer troubled with headache, backache or deep pains. I would not take $500 to relapse into the state I' was in before 1 commenced your treatment." And still the testimony keeps pouring I in It never ceases for a single day. Files upon files of it were carefully laid away at first and now a whole room is devoted to letters from grateful cured patients. Could anything in the world be more straight proof of the fact, now universally acknowl- edged, that if you want QUICK AND CER- TAIN HELP the GRAND OLD MEDICAL INSTITUTE IS BY FAR THE BEST PLACE TO GO FOR IT.
