The object is to inform the students as to the legal relations existing between physi cians and patients, and more particularly as to such medical matters as are of im portance in determining questions of law. The addresses will Involve a study of inju ries of all sorts, of poisoning, of insanity and of feigned diseases in their medical and legal relations. FOOD AND NEURALGIA. THE BIOHT FOOD WILL DRIVE IT AWAY. Good food cures neuralgia and many other dis eases if it is* the right kind of food and taken regu larly, fur the proper food will surely rebuild the cellular tissues aud build the right kind of cells 1 instead of diseased cells. Wheu the rebuilding is under way the disease leaves. That is tlie fact and the base of the food enre. I There are hundreds ??f thousands of cases to prove j the truth of this assertion. A man in Delaware. Ia.. Mr. Thomas Craven, ; says: "My wife has been greatly afflicted with 1 neur:iigia and has never found any medicine that | would cure her. "1 was told I hat if* *he could bo fed on Grape Nuts Breakfast F?**l for a time she would prob I ably get well, so we started ou l?rape-Nuts.

TRIAL COURT UPHELD COURT OF APPEALS AFFIRMS JUDGMENT IN TOWLES CASE. The Higher Tribunal Reviews the Pro ceeding's in Lower Tribunal? Other Cases. The Court of Appeals, by an opinion writ ten by Mr. Justice Morris, today affirmed the judgment of the ccurt below In the case of Gilbert B. Towles, convicted of for gery, in Criminal Court* No. 2, and sen tenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary at Moundsville, W. Va., for seven years. Mr.Towles, prominent in local business cir cles,was indicted for the forgery of five sev eral promissory notes for $8<Xi, $1,010, $2,500, $2,000 and $5,000, respectively, and for utter ing such forged notes with interest to de fraud. The indictment contained ten counts, five of them for the several forgeries and five for the uttering of the notes. The fifth and sixth counts were based upon the note for $2,500; and as to this the prosecution offered no testimony and Mr. Towles was acquitted. Upon the other counts of the indictment he was convicted. Thr alteration of the several notes by the use of chemicals to remove therefrom the original dates, amounts and places of pay ment, and by filling in the blank spaces so made with other dates, amounts and places of paymeent, the signatures of the makers, payees and Indorsers remaining as writ ten by them, and the utterance of these notes so altere^ to different persons, each note being delivered in renewal of another note then to mature, were proved by the prosecution and were admitted by the de fendant. Plea in Defense. The defense was "that the debts for which these notes were given In renewal were debts for wl.lch the persons r hose names are upon the altered notes were legally liable, created in the conduct of a special adventure"?the purchase of prop erty near the battlefield of Gettysburg? "in which they were all interested and in which they had empowered the defendant to I act for them in all financial matters; that the alterations in question were maeie for their joint benefit, and with their authority previously conferred through a course of dealing extending since 18ji2; it being also insisted that. If such actual authority were not found, the defendant honestly and in good faith believed he had It, and. therefore, coulel not be held guilty of the intent to de fraud charged in each count of the indict ment." The trial court Instructed the jury that if it found from the evidence that Mr. Towles had no authority from the other parties to make the alterations which he confessedly did make, or that he had no reasonable grounds for an honest belief that he had such authority, he should not be excused. The Court of Appeals lavs down the prin ciple that the honest belief which would justify or excuse an act otherwise wrong must be founde'd upon reasonable grounds sufficient to warrant such a belief. "I,pon the whole case," the Court of Ap peals concludes, "we are of opinion that if there was any error in the rulings of the trial justice with regard to the exclusion of evidence sought to be introduced by the defendant, such error was cured by the subsequent admission of the testimony; and that there was no error in the instructions given to the jury. Being of this opinion, we must affirm the judgment appealed from, with costs." The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Ashley M. Gould, t'nited States attorney for the District of Columbia. Police Court Reversed. In the case of the Washington Electric Vehicle Company, appellant, against the District of Columbia, the Court of Appeals, | in an opinion written by Mr. Chief Justice j Alvey, today re versed the judgment of the ! Police Court, holding that there was error J in the latter's ruling. The case was taken j to the Court e>f Appeals on writ of erreir. j The question presented was as to the'proper ; construction of a provision in the license law of the District, approved August 2t, j 1371, in respect to the proprietors of hacks. ' cabs, omnibuses ami other vehicles for the transporting of passengers for hire. The transportation company contended ! that the District of ("edutnbia had no right to assess a license fee against it under the 1 terms of the act referred to. asserting that | the act does not apply to vehicles of the ! class used by the company. In the Police J Court the company was found guilty and duly sentenced. The only question presented to the Court of Appeals was whether, by proper con struction, the act applies to and embraces the electric vehicles used by the company, and for which the company failed or re fused to obtain a license. The Court of Appeals points out that elec tric vehicles were unknown at the time of the passage of the aet. and were not with in the contemplation of the authors there of; that it was not intended to embrace every conceivable vehicle that might there after be invented and brought inte> use, and that it is not pretended that every vehicle.that is run upon the streets for the carriage of paMSengers is subject to a license tax under the provision of the act. Other Opinions. The Court of Appeals also handed down opinions this afternoon as follows: The National Safe Deposit, Savings and Trust Company, appellant, against Mary I W. Heiberger; order appealed from revers ed with costs, and cause remanded for fur ther proceedings not Inconsistent with the ' opinion, which was written by Mr. Justice i Shepard. The appeal was from an order ' of the Probate Court, framing the issues , to be submitted to the jury in the trial of the caveat of Mary W. Heiberger, filed in opposition to the probate of the will of her father, John \V. Nairn, deceased. United States ex rel. Henry D. Phillips, appellant, against the Secretary of the In terior and the commissioner of pensions; order appealed from affirmed, with costs; opinion by Mr. Justice Morris. The order refused a writ of mandamus, Mr. Phillips having sought to require the appellees to allow him a fee of $10 In a ccrtaln pension ! claim. The question of law involved was ' precisely the same as that decided by the t'ourt of Appeals several weeks ago in a action between the same parties. R. Parker Crenshaw and others against Richard P. McCormick and others; decree of lower court affirmed, opinion by Mr. Chief Justice Alvey. The bill in the case was filed by the appellants to obtain a ju dicial construction of the will of Mrs. Mary S. Million. Martha C. Hunt, appellant against Grace A. Whitehead and Joseph J. Darlington, trustees, motion for rehearing denied, opin ion by Mr. Chief Justice Alves-. REAL ESTATE DEALS. , i Mrs. Ward Adds to Her Property on ? Connecticut Avenue.

After being placed under arrest yesterday afternoon Joseph H. Brown admitted to De tectives Tvser and Trumbo that he had taken a gold ingot from a case in the Na tional Museum. The alleged theft was com mitted in October, but it was not missed until a few days ago. when the matter was reported to the police, as published in The Star at the time. Detectives Tyser and Trumbo were assigned to the case, and they soon found that a man answering Mr. Brown's description had been selling small bars of gold to local dealers, J-ate yester day afternoon they went to Mr. Brown's house, Xo. 42 Washington street. Anacostia, and arrested him. He admitted his guilt, and said he did not know why he had taken the gold. For seventeen years Brown had been em ployed in the museum as a watchman. He was such a fine penman that he was trans ferred to the Smithsonian Institution and given a clerkship. The piece of gold taken from the showcase had l>een on exhibition at Buffalo and was returned to the museum only a short time before it was taken. It was abstracted from a case containing a number of other ingots, all of which were worth about $20 per ounce. The case in which the ingots were kept was of heavy glass and hardwood. It was secured by a complicated lock. The ease \ shows no signs of having been forced open, and it is probable that a key was used. When the gold was first missed it was thought that it might be stored In one of j the safes, but an investigation failed to reveal it, and the police were notified, with the result already mentioned. Brown was given a preliminary hearing before Judge Kimball in the Police Court today on a charge of larceny of a lump of gold from the United States of America. He was represented by Francis Carroll Mattingly as counsel. W. lie C. Havenel of the National Museum told Judge Kim- j ball of the disappearance of the gold, and said it had been presented to the United States in 1840. Brown was held for the action of ihe grand jury, and bond in the sum of $l,<*Jt> was required. Maj. Sylvester Investigating. Major Sylvester heard the statements of Lieut. Daley and Policeman Edwards yes terday in relation to the arrest and release of Representative O. H. P. Belmont, who was alleged to have speeded his automo. le beyond the lawful limit while returning from the races a few days ago. Policeman Edwards, as stated at the time, stopped Representative Belmont, who was accompa nied by Representative Ruppert. It was claimed that the automobile was running at the rate of more than twenty miles an hour. Lieut. Daly, after hearing the statements of Representative Belmont and his friends, decided he would not make a record of the arrest. The tachometers that were on the police man's bicycle at the time he stopped the New York representative, have not yet been tested. When this is done it is believed Major Sylvester will reach a conclusion in the matter. RELIEVED IN 10 MINUTES BY DU. AGNEW'S CATARRHAL. POWDER. * Rev. W. H. Main, pat tor of tb?
