JUDGES CLASH IN THE SANTA

MARTIN NAMED AS RECEIVER.
L>JH|\i:ii BY CIRCUIT JUDGE: FOS
TER FROM INTERFERING
WITH THE ROAD.
BIYL.ES \OT WILLING TO GIVE UP.
He Claims Exclusive Jurisdiction,
and Issnes an Order to Make
His Stand Good,
TOPEKA, Kansas, Nov.lß.— The turn
taken today in the Santa Fe receiver
fihip case opens the way for a most
serious conflict between the federal and
etate courts. Should the receiver ap
pointed by county Judge Myers finally
succeed in qualifying and demand pos
ession of the railway, the officers of the
latter would refuse to yield, standing
on the expectation that Judge Foster,
of the federal court, would assume
Jurisdiction in the case. His authority
resisted by the railroad people, the re
ceiver's recourse would be to ask Judge
Myers for an order calling out the
posse comitatus to help him take pos
eesion of the property. Such order
would authorize the sheriff to summon
every male citizen of Jefferson county,
If necessary, to put the receiver in pos
ession of the railroad. Then Judge
Foster, presuming that he would as
sume jurisdiction, would order the
United States marshal to appoint an
army of special deputies to enforce the
processes of his court. Then the sher
rif£ would call upon the governor for
the state militia and the United States
marshal, in turn, could appeal to the
secretary of war for troops, and thus
bring on a collision between the state
tnd federal governments.
Assistant Attorney-General Goddard
says there is ample room in the case
for it, and should the two courts and
the parties in Interest be stubborn and
lose sight of the real merits of the case,
a minature war would result. But it Is
likely the case will be settled without
even coming to a hearing before any
court. an its merits.

flict between the. state and federal
i courts. Anticipating- the appointment
j of a new receiver by Judge Myers at
Oskaloosa, A. A. Hurd, general attor
ney for the railroad company, this
forenoon obtained a supplemental or
der from Judge Foster, of the United
States circuit court. The order di
rects all the officers and employes of
the Atchison railroad company in the
state of Kansas to continue the opera
tion, management and control of said
railway in the same manner as the
same has heretofore been conducted
until the further order of said United
States circuit court shall be made.
Later, Rossington, Smith & Dallas,
representing the Union Trust Company
of New York, which became a party
to the action by a cross bill filed in
the federal court last week, appeared
before Judge Foster and presented a
lengthy petition, asking that Senator
Martin et al. be restrained from inter
fering with the present management of
the road. The petition recites the ac
tions of the Oskaloosa court in the mat
ter and says that "notwithstanding the
filing of the transcript in the case in
this court and the orders made by this
court, the said district court of Jeffer
son county has assumed to appoint one
John Martin as receiver of the proper
ty, at the instance of H. T. Phinney,
county attorney of Jefferson county,
and his associates, Henry Keeler, D.
i R. Hite, H. B. Shaefer and Marshall
| Gebhart."
Continuing, the petition holds that at
I the time of the appointment of said re
ceiver, the United States circuit court
held jurisdiction over the Jefferson
county court and that the appointment
1 of Martin is void. It therefore prays
j that the said Martin, Phinney, Hlte,
j Shaefer and Gebhart "be enjoined and
restrained from in any manner inter
fering with the possession, manage
. ment or control of the railroad and all
| the property of the said railway com
| pany in the state of Kansas and else
where."
Under the showing thus made. Judge
Foster granted a restraining order
against John Martin and the others
named. Just before the restraining or
der was served upon him, Senator
Martin was seen by a reporter and
; said that he would qualify as receiver
| immediately. Later he said he should
respect the order of the United States
I court.
Mr. Hurd, the Santa -Fe attorney,
says,, in his judgment, the federal
court has jurisdiction of the case and
I he believes Judge Foster will so hoid
' A big fight is likely to center in Jud^e
i Foster's court, lasting several days,
| when the case shall come before him
! next week.
County Attorney Phinney, of Jeffer
son county, who last week was co-op
erating with the attorney general, has
j resumed his original status in the case
j and is now acting with Judge Keeler,
i whom he dismissed from the case last
Saturday. A half hour before court
j opened yesterday afternoon Mr. Phin
ney was in consultation with Assistant
; Attorney General Goddard, but when
\ the proceedings opened he was half
! way back to his original position and
in a few minutes he was co-operating
with Keeler again.
COURTS CLASH.
State and Federal Judges at Odds in
the Santa Fe Case.
OSKALOOSA, Kan., Nov. 18.— Judge
Myers today appointed ex-United
I States Senator John Mai'tln receiver
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad property in place of Charles
i P. Johnson, whom he previously ap
pointed but who failed to qualify. The
order appointing Martin receiver also
I enjoins the railroad company from
bringing any action against him in
other than the Jefferson county court
over which Judge Myers presides.
Judge Albert H. Horton was the only
one of ' the opposing counsel present,
but he took no part except to make
notes of the proceedings. The railroad
attorneys have not recognized Judge
Myers' court at all and it is their policy
not to do so. The court fixed Receiver
Martin's bond at $26,000 and designated
Messrs. Hite, of Topeka, and Gebhard
and Shaefer, of Oskaloosa, as his at
torneys. The court did not adjourn
Bine die, but until Dec. 4, at 3 o'clock.

RUSH Ojl THE LfIHES
CARRYING TRADE HAVING Hfiß Cfef-
ISI AL BOOM AS THE SKA
SON CLOSES.
HISTORY OF A PRETTY FIGHT
THAT HAS BEEN GOING OX BE
TWEEN THE MILLERS A\D
THE RAILROADS.
LATTER GOT THE BETTER OF IT.
All Arose Over a. Charge for Stor
age Made by Buffalo Ware
house Men.
The millers of Duluth have had a
long and hard fig-ht with the railroads
the past summer, and the year will
close with the railroads very likely In
possession of the best end of the fight.
As a result of the fight, the lake fleet
plying- between the head of the lakes
and Buffalo, have been the recipients of
a steadily increasing volume of busi
ness. The improvement in the lake
carrying trade has been especially
marked during- the past few weeks.
The shipments of Duluth made flour
and of West bound package freight
has seen a marvelous impetus, and the
revival was just in time to prevent the
year from g-oing into history as a bad
one for I>uluth-Buffalo trade.
For years the millers of Duluth and
some of the Minneapolis millers have
been allowed to store their flour In
Buffalo free of charge, the flour being
held in Buffalo until the demand for
it forced it upon the market. Last year
the millers were chai-ged one cent a
barrel for storage, and a great fuss was
made. The millers could not under
stand why the lines which had made
such a hot fight for the cargoes, should ]
demand a storage fee, and the charge i
was bitterly complained of. The lines,
however, held a union meeting and de
cided that the charge was a very lovr
and reasonable one, and tha.t it must
stand. The load of an ordinary steel
lake freight boat is from 20,000 to 30,000
barrels, and it shows that the aggre
gate cost of storage during a season
must have been considerable.
But the millers would not give in.
They chartered a lot of small wooden
steamers and started into the carry
ing business for themselves. They
were ag-ain balked, for on trying to un
load their cargoes in Buffalo, they
found the regular lake lines in posses
sion of all the best storage houses. Not |
only that, but they found that the j
warehouses were also under the control
of the railroads, and that the latter
lines running from Buffalo east were |
also in the deal and ready to force the i
millers to pay the extra cent in some j
other way. This knocked the private,
steamboat line into a cocked hat, and
the millers were in trouble ag-ain.
Then Erastus Wiman, of New York, i
came to the Twin Cities and to Duluiii
with a scheme all his own, to forward
the flour to the seaeoast via the lakes
and the Erie canal. But it was found
that the canal was Inadequate in its j
present condition, and that in -eases
where flour was needed on short notice,
this slow route would result in* lOSStai
to the shipper. So it, in its turn, was
abandoned.
Today the milers are practicaljy beat
en and the railroads are virtually mas
ters of the situation, for the reason
that during the past ten days there
has been an unprecedented demand for
flour in seaport markets, and the mill
ers have been compelled to ship as
best they could in order to keep- the
sales from the hands of competitors.
As a result, the lake and rail linec
find themselves overrushed with busi
ness, and the movement will continue
as long as navigation is open. All the
regular line boats are making trips
as fast as they can load and unload
at terminal points and many wild
steamers have been chartered.
It is figured out that the millers,
would have been gainers in the end
had they paid without murmur the
one cent storage charge, the justice
or injustice of the charge not being
considered. Supposing the regular
lines announce they will close their
business on the 20th. Then after that
date the wild steamers are in a' posi
tion to demand any rate they see fit,
and the chances are the rates would be
far in excess of what they are at the
present time, and all the extra charges
will have to come out of the pockets of
the milers. It is barely possible, how
ever, in view of the unexpected revival
of westbound business, that the lines
will recall their notices and extend the
carrying season until the end of the
month. But it is admitted that the
wild boats will have two weeks of in
dependent rate making even after that
time.
Another reason which contributed to
the failure of the private line of boats
established by the millers, was the
fact that the railroads east of Buffalo
refused to give the millers' line through
bills of lading to the Atlantic from
Duluth.
It was on the presentation of thest
through bills at the banks, and their
use as collateral that the millers were
enabled to borrow money with which
to transact their business during the
hard times. But shipments via the
independent millers' line could only
secure bills as far as Buffalo, from
which another was required via the
rail lines to the coast. Only limited
sums of money could be brrowed on
these half bills.
The westbound business via the lake
lines to the West is larger at the pres
ent time than it has been for many
years, during the corresponding period.
Millions of dollars are represented in
orders for woolens, iron articles, etc.,
etc., which are now being shipped, aa
the result of the election of McKinley.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars'
worth of these consignments are being
purchased by the jobbers of St. Paul
and Minneapolis.
In addition to this, ship loads of ap
ples are being sent from the East into
the Northwest. All these conditions
are causing a great revival in both the
lake and the rail carrying trade.
CERTIFICATES EXTENDED.
Wisconsin Central Receivers Get a
Favorable Order.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Nov. 18.— The
$2,000,000 issue of receivers' certificates
which Judge Jenkins permitted the
receivers for the Wisconsin Central
lines on Nov. 15, 1894, to make, was
this morning extended for another year
by Judge Jenkins. The issue fell due
on Nov. 15 — last Sunday. Holders of
certificates, however, who are unwill
ing to make an extension, will have
the amounts of their holdings paid upon
presentation at the offices of Maitland,
Coppell & Company, Edward Sweet &
Company or Brown Brothers & Com
pany, in New York city. These three
firms placed the original issue, and
have agreed to handle thw extension
upon a commission of 2% per cent.
In the petition asking for permission
to make the extension, the receivers,
for the first time, make reference to
the reorganization committee or the
reorganization, which, the petition in
dicates, is moving along smoothly.
The receivers say they have made ar
rangements for the semi-annual pay
ment of interest that fell due Sunday,
but that it is Impossible to pay the
principal. The interests of the estate,
the receivers say, wt>uld suffer serious
detriment, and the plans of reorgani
zation now under consideration would
be materially .and. adversely affected if
payment were enforced at this time
out of the t-collateral security. The re
organization :<committee which now
composes 7B per cent of the first mort
gage bcaidtfbiders, at a meeting in New
York, on ?^ov.;s, approved of the prop
osition ofi.the bankers in regard to
the extensions.
Receiver" Morris returned from the
East yesterday. With reference to the
report that the Wisconsin Central re
organization committee was interested
in the sale, of the Chicago & Northern
Pacific, Mr, Morris said that as far as
he knew, there was nothing to it. With
regard to the future of the Wisconsin
Central in running into Chicago, Mr.
Morris said thait up to the present, the
old arrangement held good. What ar
rangement would be made in the fu
ture he could not say. There is lit
tle doubt, however, that there will be
any interference with .the terminal ar
rangements existing with the com
panies making use of the Harrison
street station.
INTERCHANGEABLE TICKET.
Central Lines Meet Today to Con
aider the Question.
CHICAGO, Nov. 18— The roads of
the Central Passenger committee will
meet tomorrow for the purpose of con
sidering the resolution offered by Gen
eral Passenger Agent Ford, of the
Pennsylvania line, providing for the
| adopting of a 5,000-mile interchangeable
i mileage ticket by the committee. It is
| by no means certain that the resolu
tion will be adopted, as some of the
roads are strongly opposed to it. The
majority of the large roads in the com
mittee have always been against the
adoption of such a ticket, and they
are not more favorably disposed to
wards it now than they have been in
the past. The Wetsern roads are wait
ing for the result of the meeting in
order to take action of their own. They
may decide to adopt a mileage ticket
! similar to that advocated by Mr. Ford
even if the lines in the Central Passen
ger committee decline to put out any
interchangeable ticket. The form o"f
the ticket to be adopted by the West
ern roads will, however, conform to
that of the Eastern roads if the latter
take any favorable action tomorrow.
All the lines in the Central Passen
ger committee have agreed to sell one
way continuous passage tickets for
landseekers at one fare up to the Ohio
river crossings, plus the fare tendered
from the Ohio river, on the first and
third Tuesday? of each month to points
in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Qeorgia, Florida, Louisiana
Mississippi and Tennessee, except
Memphis.
SALE APPROVED.
Jenkins Satisfied With the Chicago
& N. P. Deal.
CHICAGO,- Nov. 18.— The sale of the
Chicago &s Northern Pacific railroad
| was confirmed by Judge Jenkins in the
j United States court this afternoon. The
decree of confirmation agreed to by all
parties to tjie litigation recites that the
I road is sold to the committee of the
j bondholders for the sum of $8,000,000.
j The decree gfves the road to the pur
chasers subject to the mortgage of the
city of Chicago for $650,000 and' the
mortgage securing- $390,000 of. bonds of
! the Chicago, & Great Western railroad
■iSfrued in 1886 i It- is- 'admitted that the
reorganization has In its control 25.661
of the "bonds and that there are -out
standing 194 bonds. The purchasers
i have paid Into court $67,900, the amount

ing- bonds. Three month's time are
given for the filing of all claims that
may have priority over the mortgage,
and the United States Trust company
of New York is made the depository
for the cancellation of the bonds.
PARKEBU VICE CHAIRMAN.
Sew "Western Frel«ht Association
Filling in Detaiis.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 18.— Charles A.
Parker, late traffic manager of the Mis
souri Pacific, has been appointed vice
chairman of the board of administra
tion of the Western Freight associa
tion.
It is anounced that the new- associa
tion, will have a rate committee com
posed of officials no lower in rank than
assistant general freight agents in ad
dition to its executive and administra
tive boards. Just how the membership
will be apportioned among the roads
has not yet been made clear. In the
Southwestern Traffic association, in
which there are but four large systems,
each sends a freight official to act on
the committee when it meets. There
are so many roads in the Western
Freight association that the same plan
is hardly practicable. It may be fol
lowed, however, for no line will care to
have its rates made for it by a body
of men connected with competing lines.
NEW READING BOARD.
Meets and Carries Out the Reor

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 18.— The new
board of directors of the Philadelphia

also directed the issuing of certificates
of stock to the amount of $20,000,000 and
executed and delivered a bond secured
by mortgage for $20,000,000. The board
of directors of the Reading Coal & Iron

NEW CONTRACT WITH NORTHERN

GOLD IN TRAIL CREEK COUNTRY.
Northern Pacific Said io Contem
plate MuiidiiiK Into the New
Territory.
The announcement made yesterday
by General Manager Underwood, of
the Soo, that the Minneapolis road has
at last freed itself for all time to come
fom its obligations to other roads,
j came as a surprise in railroad circles',
| although it was known that the Soo
; had been casting about for some time
| to rid itself of the contracts it had
J entered into with the Northern Pa- i
: cine. The Soo has not only succeeded j
j in throwing off the yoke of its con
j tracts, but has also made arrangements
i for acquiring a location for freight
| terminals in Minneapolis at a cost of
j a quarter of a million dollars, and early i
i in the coming season the yards and !
| tracks will be placed ready for the !
use of the line. The terminal buildings \
will not be required for use until the !
| first of next November, as the Soo has
entered into a new contract with the
Northern Pacific for freight and yard
I room. This contract was first an- J
I nounced yesteiday, the Soo having left \
j the -Great Northern for the Northern j
| Pacific. In connection with this an
| other contract was announced — a ten
; year lease by the Soo of certain por
| tions of the tracks of the Northern
! Pacific.
The original contracts between the
Sco and the Northern Pacific read in
! perpetuity, but the Northern Pacific,
when it mortgaged its road, so that
it was subject to foreclosure, and was,
in fact, sold under the hammer to the
reorganization committee, canceled the
contracts of the Soo, and enabled the
latter to make more favorable terms
for its own business. This it did after j
j the reorganization of the Northern Pa- I
1 cific, by leaving the latter road, and j
began to use the Minneapolis terminals i
of the Great Northern road. Now j
the suit of the Northern Pacific !
against the Sco for this alleged breach
of contract, has been announced as
compromised, and the two new con
tracts referred to, for yard and freight
service until Nov. 1 next, and for a ten
year's use of the main tracks, stand
as a result of the amicable agreement
between the management of the two
roads. With the signing of these con
tracts, the Soo abandons the use of
the Great Northern terminal facilities.
The contracts referred to apply only
to freight, of course, as the Soo has '
but recently made an agreement with |
the Milwaukee, looking to the use of j
the local passenger station of that
road, as well as track and storage
room for cars for a period of ten years.
GOLD IN TRAIL CREEK.
Rich Country Which Northern Pa
cific Hay Develop.
Dr. Willis E. Everett, the pioneer
miring chemist and geologist of the
Nortl) Pacific coast, left yesterday via
tho Northern Pacific for Seattle, after
a short trip to the East. Dr. Everett
is as well known to the mining world
as any other man in the country. H<:
has represented a number of large
American and foreign syndicates, and
upon his reports millions of dollars
have been invested in the West. His
home is in Tacoma.
Dr. Everett has recently returned
from an eight months' Investigation of
ihp Trail creek country in BritiHh
Columbia, not far north of the Ameri
can bou'ndry, and into which the North
err Pacific railroad company is said
to have surveyed a proposed line. Dr.
Everett is very enthusiastic regarding
th? Trail creek mines, which he says
will develop into the most valuable on
the continent as soon as they are prop
erly worked. Speaking of the mines
and those of the immediate territory,
Dr. Everett said:
"I have gone to the bottom of many
of the Trail creek mines, some of
which are already 500 feet down and
1.100 feet in the solid rock. The quan
tity of gold in actual sight, running
$30 tc the ton, Is so great that in order
to gain an adequate idea as to the
limitless amount one must see it for
themselves. The possibilities here are
so utterly out of the common, so fab
ulously great, and the mineralogical
conditions so peculiar, that an ade
quate account of them cannot be con
voyed in a newspaper interview. The
quantity of rich ore cannot be fully
estimated, but it is very great. It is
in eruptive rock, which is a true gab
bro, as miners term it, or otherwise
known as dlarite, but the latter term
is not entirely correct. The ore ex
ists in lenses, shoots, and single walled
fissuits, radiating diag-onally through
the great faunts in tho country rock,
and in such a manner that it is in a
mew mineralogical condition, almost
unkcowa to science hitherto, the princ
ipa 1 pay ores being generally found on
the hanging walls.
' The Trail Creek min?s will soon be
gebbied up. I believe that next spring
will see such an influ.-c of Canadian and
foreign capitalists, all bidding against
eacfh other, that the prices will go up
from 200 to 500 per cent. This con
dition of affairs is seen even now, for
there are mining men there from sill
parts of the world.
"This may sound like a boom story,
but I am a very conservative man,
and am known as such all over the
Pacific coast, but I am ready to prove
what I have said of the Trail Creek.
Boundry Creek and Slocan districts is
absolutely true. There is not only
gold there, but silver, iron, coal, lead
and some copper, asbestos, lime, gyp
sum and other minerals.
"The mineral belt is about 100 miles
long and extends northerly and north
westerly from the Coeur d'Alene coun
try in Idaho and Northwestern Mon
tana, through Southeastern British
Columbia, taking in the gold range and
a portion of the Selkirk range, thence
into the Northern Cariboo country,
thence northerly into the Cassiar coun
try, into the headwaters of the McKen
zia country, and from there northwest
erly into Alaska. The strip even
crosses the Behring straits on the
Kamschatka side; thence following
nearly southerly and southwesterly the
same mineralized belt extends into
Northern Manchuria. The belt seems
to follow onward southerly through
China, Burmah, and seemingly out
crops in Borneo, Australia and New
Zealand. I only mentioned the course
the belt seems to take to ghow that
one end of it surely ends in the Trail
Creek country. I believe that now,
with the election of McKinley a matter
of record, that the investors will rush
pell mell Into the Trail Creek country."
"How about the proposed extension
of the Northern Pacific Into the belt
mentioned?" was asked.
"As to that, I know absolutely noth
ing. I merely wentto the Trail creek
as a private mineralogist."
IRRIGATION CONGRESS HATE
Authorised by the Chairman of the
Western Association.
CHICAGO, Nov. 18.— The chairman
of the Western Passenger association
has authorized the roads in his organi
zation to make a rate of one fare for
the round trip for the meeting of the
national irrigation congress at Phoenix,
Ariz., next month. The roads of the
Trans-Missouri association some time
since adopted this rate and the Atch
ison, which is a member of both as
sociations, asked that the rate be made
in the territory of the Western Pas
senger association but the other roads
declined, and as the roads in the Trans-
Missouri association had brought their
rate up to St. Louis and all the other
southwestern gateways, the Atchison
road was at a disadvantage. It ap
plied to the chairman for relief which
has been granted. As the chairman
could not authorize the Atchison alone
to make the rate, he has announced
that all the other roads may makp the
same rate if they wish to do so.
Holliduy Passenger Rates.
AH Western roads have agreed to the ar
rangements suggested by the Western Pas
senger association regarding holiday rates
and the plans will go Into effect. It has
been agreed to grant a fare and a third rate
from points within 200 miles of the selling
.point, between which points the regular fare
is three cents per mile; and a fare and a
fifth beyond the 200-mile limit. Lines pass'ng
through centers In which are located educa
tional institutions, may, by agreement, extend
the return limit to students who visit their
homes. The selling dates will be Dec 23 24
25, 30 and 31, and Jan. 1.
Missionaries En Route to Japan.
The third party of missionaries to leave for
Japan within a month, arrived In the city
yesterday and proceeded to' Seattle via the
Northern Pacific. The party was composed
of Rev. W. F. Junkin. Rev. J. Mercer Blaln,
Mrs. Fannie Eastin, Miss Emma Knight and
Miss Julia Carroll, all of whom will be as
signed stations after arriving in Yokohoma.
A majority of the party were members of the
South Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis.
Rev. Mr. Junkin; is from Little Rock, Ark.
Traffic Renamed.
■TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 18.— Travel was re
sumed today on the Northern Pacific line to
the East, and a train with the accumulated
mail of three days arrived. Trains for Seattle
and Portland left here this afternoon. There
was a light fall of snow this morning but it
will not renew the trouble.
Railway Lej^iHlatlon.
PEORIA, 111., Nov. 18.— Chief officers of
the railroad brotherhoods will meet in Chi- i
cago Friday to consider what steps \.o take I
to secure passage of legislation desired of !
congress at the next session, including the ar
bitration bill, contempt of court bill and
Phillips commission bill. '
There was a decrease of $214,053 in the
earnings of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul road for the second week In November
as compared with the corresponding week
last year. The earnings last week were
$638,515, against $852,568 for the same period
in 1895.
Miners Have Stmek.
SPRINGFIELD. 111., Nov. IS.— Two hundred
miners at the shaft of the Wabash Coal Min
ing company's shaft at Athens have struck
for an increase in wages from 221^ to 35 cents
per ton gross weight.
With a better understanding of the I
transient nature of the many phys- j
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts — gentle efforts — pleasant efforts —
-rightly directed. There is comfort in j
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simpty to a constipated condi- I
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the CaU'
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists. '
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should hay the best, and with the
well-informed verywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Csed and gives rr - i general satisfaction.
