The Hoard of Trustees of tho Eastern Insane
Hospital to be built at Kankakee, 111., met last
nlcbt ut tho Grand Pacific Hotel and considered
bids. There were present Messrs. Cloughs of Chi
cago, Keddlck of Ottawa and Murphy.
Much tltno was spent in consultation,
but no conclusion was reached. The Indications
are that the contract will bo awarded to the Peni
tentiary Commission upon their bid of $150,000
tho lowest ono received. As before stated, no
definite conclusion was reached, as tho board pre
fer before awarding the contract to eeo all the Pen
itentiary Commissioners and have with those gen
tlemen u distinct understanding that in case tho
contract be awarded to them It will bo so awarded
upon tho exact bid sent In; and that no deviation
therefrom will bo allowed. Tnero was a smalt
army of local contractors waiting about tho hotel
to bear thn decision of the Uooru. The question
will probably bo decided this morclngA,
Detective It. J. Illckcv yesterday banded in his
resignation on account of iho llavlll escape, iiy
bis superiors ana thoso who know him best Mr.
Rickey's honesty Is not questioned, but his fool
ishhess In being made the dupo of a man like Bam
Felker Is considered beyond description. Ho knew
Fclker well, ana has frequently warned tncu to
avoid him, and It Is deemed strange that he
himself should fall Into the (rap. U la said that
Fclker got S3OO from Story, tho latter thereby
hoping to get back tho stolen plunder. On tho
other hand, it is said that Dan Lawrence, a Police
Court barrister, put up tho Job on G. A. Wheeler,
the professional bailor, so as to remove all compo
tltlou against K. N. Marks, whoso partner he
Is. However the scheme was built. It is
tolerably certain that young llavlll left town last
night. He Is under $3,000 bonds for thoJoslo
Putnam rubbery, with Fitzsimmons and Eager as
Ironasmcn, und for this reason It is said that hn
will return to town for trial when the appointed
lime comes.
There wan h rumor about town yesterday In has-
Inesa circle# that the building and ground at the
northeast corner of Madison and Franklin streets,
40 by IHS feet, formerly occupcd oy M. Heix A
Co., bad been sold to E. 8. Jnffrxy A Co., of .New
York, for sX,r»ou per foot. A Tiuuunb reporter
followed up the rumor, and Is ablo to prove Us
utter falsity. The property Is owned by Judge
Galbraith, of Erie. Fa., wno also owns the forty
feel cast on Madison street, occupied by
Carson, I‘lrlc, bcotl d) Co. It so happened
that Judge (Jotbrallb Is In town, and
the new*.hunter found him at tbo Palmer Home.
The Judge laughed at tbo report and simply said.
If the property had been sold 1 should probably
have heard something about It. My property here
pays good rent*. lam making mure money here
than anywhere else, and 1 do pot propose to sell
any Just yet." The gentleman further stated that
ho believed In Chicago, and that now was the time
to buy rcsl estate hero, while It was low, and not
to sell. Tbo price reported as paid was too low
toghu the rnroorcvcu the first shadow of truth,
since there is a very valuable building paying a
large rental on the ground.
custom-house frauds.
The Special Commlsiluu, appointed by the Pres
ident to investigate tbo frauds In the New York
Custom-House, began its work yesterday. Au
pralaer-Ucneral Meredith arrived In the morning
and went to the Custom-House, waere he met
Special-Agents Uingham, of Uostuu. and Hinds.of
Mils city. Alter electing Gcn.Mrredltb President,
t. general talk took place us to the method of pro.
ceduie. It was decided to select a gentleman of
undoubted Integrity to represent (be merchants,
and Mr. L. Loiter was fixed upon, aud accepted
the appointment. A motion to have secret sessions
was agreed to. At the afternoon session the tak
ing of testimony was commenced, and repre
sentatives of the following Arms were exam
ined: Keith Pros.,D. 11. Fisk A Co..S.P.SUdden
A Co., 11. A. Kohn A Hros., KsntzUr A Hargis,
ana Mr. Wills. The evidence was strung and con
clusive, sustaining every one of the allegation*
which have been made in Tun TihufKx. Mr
Leller charged (hat parlies In tbe New York Cus
tom-House were directly responsible forlhe under
valuations of Imported goods. The statements of
the witnesses showed that nut only American Chi
cago importers but New York Importers of the
same nationality had been driven out of dealing in
•ume lines of goods by the Importations of foreign
agents in New York, the latter twins m a ring and
securing undervaluations through connivance with
Cuslom-Uouso officials. This business began in
silks in 187 S, and has gradually extended
ever since, so that now it embraces a great many
different articles. These agents are abls to sell at
auch low rates that merchants in this country can
buy more cheaply from them than they Can by or
dering the same goods from Franc* mid Importing
idem- "Ad valorem Is oolv another word for
rascality.*’ The question of damage allowance

THE BANKS.

The examination of Henry Orecnehanm, by tbo
Commlllo of his creditors, was continued yester
day afternoon at 3 o'clock. lie said he could not
tell when bis Indebtedness to the German National
Rank began. He kept an account there. He*
cclved SO,OOO salary as President of the bank in
1877. When the bank wan organised he trans
ferred the business of Henry Grecncbaum & Co.
to It, on condition that he was to receive a bonus
at the end of three years, and did not receive any
salary during that time. His salary as President
of the Savings Rank waa 12,000 at first, then re*
ducsdal his own request to $1,200, and after to

himself and David were about $160,000. and the
real-estate assets were considered worth $030,000.

Mr. A. M. 'Day. the manager of the German Na
tional B.uk. ia credited with having played a very
sharp game yesterday. Some time ago a HtpnsUcr
received the i.s.tal certificate of indebtedness for a
deposit he had piiwiouMy made In the bank, and
recently went oround to get his money. The
officers, however, refused to give him anything,
on the ground that nn error had been made in tho
certificate by crediting ton much Interest on Hie
special deposit. Tho depositor then put iho mat
ter tn the hands of his attorney,and tho latter went
to too bank lo look the matter no. Day
naked lo look at Iho certificate, which was grant
ed, but. when asked to givo tl back, refused
point (dank to do so. Tbl* 1* regarded as rather n
high-handed way of remedying the mistake, and
the aggrieved nartv proposes to lay tho matter
before the Comptroller of the Currency at Wash
ington, mid “see if this cxlra-oOlcions manager
can act In this way."
[The name of too attorney is W. A. Raff, bat ha
does nut wish hit name used except as a guarantee
of good faith, etc. J
The usual petition In the Fidelity Ssvlngs-Utnk
case was filed yesterday. Tho petitioner this time
Is nut the Receiver, but Robert Law, the coal
dealer. Ho states that prior to November, 1873,
he was a partner with Ruddle M. and O. 8. Hough
and John Campbell In the coal business,
under tho name of John Campbell A Co.
About tho SOth of November, 1873, the firm,
being nnablo to pay Us debts, made an assignment
to Law. He took charge of tho business, and
opened a bank account with the Fidelity, and on
the Hth of Juno. 1874,'had $18.34(1.88 deposited
there ns trustee. A balance of $1,003.20, to the
credit of John Campbell A Co. was also transfer
red to hla account, making It $10,743.08. Only
$4,777.78 has ever been drawn out liy him, so that
there ought to bo $14,005.30. In February, 1875,
there were several large Judgments outstanding
Hgslnst tho Roughs lu favor of the bank, but in
thu name of E. M. Raines, brother of tho Presi
dent of the Fidelity. The Houghs, as is charged,
being unable lo pay, represented to Mr.
Haloes that Imw bad paid tbo creditors
of John Campbell A Co. 00 cents
on tho dollar of their claims, and that it would he
nothing more than lair if the bank used sumo of
tho funds to Law's credit as trustee to pay 00 per
cent on these judgments. President Halites re
fused. however, to Uo so without Law's consent,
until finally thu Houghs offered to give him a baud
of Indemnity to secure him If he paid the Jmlg
incuts. He then did so, and charged Law with
$13,800, that being the amount needed to pay Um
CO pec cent. Tnls reduced Mr. Law's balance to
81,105.30, amlbenuwaika that this reduction nr
charge against him rosy bo set aside, having been
uiado without bis knowledge or con«en(, tnd that
he may receive dividends ou his rightful balance
of $11,005.30. In fact, bo says he never knew
aucb charge bad been made against bis account
until he went to draw bis dividend. The matter
was taken under advisement.
The Itecotver of the Fidelity also Hied a report,
staling that ho bad offered Lot XU. lu Bowen's Ad
dition to South Chicago, at auction aa directed hy
Ilia Court, Imi tits only received a bid of } 1,800.
Instead of 50..T00 or 511,600, as ha expected. It
seems that the lot fronts on Calumet Lake, and
two rival ice-dcalere, E. A. Hhcdd and Esther E.
Saylor, bad Iwen bidding against each other to get
ibetand. The Ucn lrcr had actually closed with
one party, mid accepted his bid of about 000,
When the other went SBoO better, and the Deceiver
saw golden visions of what be would get If hoof*
fered the Isnd for salu at .auction. Hut the ice
men nut their heads together and only bid
flihOO. When (he bid was opened yeetcr*
day morning, Judge Moure saw through the
dodge immediately. A jwrson present
In court then offered an advance of &»00 on the
hid, and another offered 3U.000 in bank books.
Tbo utlorueys (or the bank objected to this last
offer because depositors' books could befbought up
hi any uumoerst'J'i cents uu the dollar, Mr. C.
K. Felton, one of the parties appointed some time
ago to appraise tbo property, said the lot was
worth in the neighborhood of SI,OOO, and ought
not to oo sold even for 12,400, and advised that
lliu sale be postponed. This the Judge agreed to.
aud now mure offers for this much wanted lot are
In order.
DR. ADDER.
TUB 81NA1 LITBIUIIY ASSOCIATION
lately appointed a committee to correspond with
Dr. Felix Adler, of New York, for tbe purpose of
seeing If tbe famous Liberal could make;lt conven
ient to lecture before the Association atau early
day. At a regular meeting of tbo Society, held la
tbe lecture-room of tba temple of Slual Congrega
tion last evening, (be Committee reported that Dr.
Adler would bo In Chicago on tbo lifitb, SOtb, and
S7tb of this month, and that be bad consented to
lecture fur thu Association Tuesday evaulng, tba
2«» h, at Standard Hall. Tbe Committee also pre
sented, as a part of Us report, the following protest
from Ur. K. Kohler, pastor of Sinai Congregation:

Uu. XL Koulib.
Tbe strong language of the protest called for
•ouu remarks from the Association, and one gen
itcmau, who la a great admirer of Dr. Adler, com
bated |ihe assertions made In tbe communication,
expressing hie surprise (hat Dr. Kohler should
bavu written so caustic a letter, and denying in
toto tbe charge that Dr. Adler bad "desi-rtea the
Jewish (lag, ,r or that he bad "blasphemed God
and Judaism." On the contrary, tbo learned Doctor
was eagnjreri In developing the system, working la
tbe same path as Dr. Kohler himself. As to Dr.
Adler's talents, his power, tba morality of his
teachings, there was only one voice,
aud that entirely of approbation aud admiration.
Too gentleman also slated that Dre. Felsvnthal
aud Adler, of ibis city, bad spoken of Dr. Felix
Adler In tba highest terms, so that tbe weight of
testimony was sllugeluer in bis favor. Or. Adler,
it was true, did not build strictly uq theological
Ideis, while Dr. Kohler did, but for all that ba
believed tbe Asaociatlon abould not lose tbe op
portunity to bear so distinguished aud able a man,
notwithstanding Ur. Kohler's emphatic protest.
There was one dissenting voice. It came from
a young man who wsa apparently a strung
orthodox believer, and who went on to
•tala that Dr. Kohler waa a mem
ber of the Association, aud that bis
opinion was sotitlud to great consideration. At
any rate, no hasty action should be taken on au
Important a question.
Another young gentleman offered tba practical
angseetlon (bat Dr. Kohler waa only one member
of the Association, and that his opinion waa en
titled to just as much weight a* thu Individual
opiuiooof any other member.
Thu rather quieted the dissenting voice, and the
Committee's report was adopted.
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: THURSDAY. MARCH 21, 1878
The anbjoct of Dr. Adler's lecture will he “Rls-

THE COUNTY BUIUDING.
The Collector* of Hvde Park and Maine tamed
over (heir book* yesterday.
Justice Salisbury yesterday banded the County
Clerk numerous marriage licenses which ho had
failed to return In the tlmo specified by law.
The Grand «Tnry disposed of numerous petty
cases yesterday, and relumed sixteen true bills.
The most Important indictment was against
Freneen, Richard*, and Kccgoo, who are charged
with rape and robbery.
A motion for a new trial In the ease of Connelly
and Sherry will be owned Saturday. The attor
neys yesterdnr heard from the New Jersey and
Cincinnati fairs, and, backed by some cash, propose
to make a vigorous fight. The attorney for Sherry
has given notice that bo will want five hours la
which to have his say.
Nellie Price and Sherry, recently convicted of
bnrglary and theft, and given long terms In the
Penitentiary, will be tried to-day In the Criminal
Court for robbing the residence of C. M. llolch
kin. A motion for a now trial is pending In the
former esse, and there la yet a string of Indict*
meats for (hem to answer.
The character of the Juries In the County Court
Is often the subject of remark, and the question Is
frequently asked how It ta that a certain class get
on them. Un the present panel. It is said, there Is
one person who hss not been out of Jail a great
while. It is feared that the Sheriff's deputies do
not live up to the requirements of the statutes In
tbo matter.
' Thu Clerk to the Board yesterday sent notices to
the head* of the several departments of county
government, notifying them of the passage of Mr.
iloesi-'s revolution Monday requesting them to dis
miss nil employe* who were not satisfied with the
pay they were receiving. No dismissals are re
ported, amt (he probabilities nre that none will be,
as the heads ore inclined to look upon the action of
tLo Board in the matter as dictatorial,
There are numerous propositions on foot looking
to moving the Sheriff's ofiico to the Sooth Side. A
few days ago Mr. Hurling proposed to erect an ad*
iKlh-n to the building covering the alley In tbo Jail
yard to te used by the Treasurer, which would
allow tha Sheriff lo remain where hois; but this
scheme would seem to have born abandoned from
the fact that Messrs. Hurling and Wheeler proposed
yetterony lo the Sheriff to transfer him to the
Tinut Building, and the Sheriff took kindly to it.
There Is something beneath all the talk on this
subject, bat what it Is Is past finding out Just now.

QDAIXUEUNO OTCH TUB SPOILS.
The Committee appointed to examine the bids
far furnishing county supplies was In session again
yesterday, bnt accomplished very little. In tho
lorcnoon the members were locked uu, but having
so liberally examined “ samples ’’ of asnlrltnous
nature the day Itrroro the meeting was a dry affair.
Defore adjourning for dinner, however, they sent
oat requisitions for “samples," and In the
afternoon the session was more enjoyable. AU
they did under tne influence of the *• samples ”
wa« lo examine some boots imd shoes and quarrel
as to whom tho award should be made to. In which
they betrayed the fact that they all had their
favorites. Mr. D. Wells A Co. were the lowest
bidders, but It was so arranged that the award was
not made to them or any one else. Tho way it was
done wssthus: those who wore unsuccessful in
crowding their favorites forward dropped out ono
at n time until there was not a quorum left, and
nothing could bo done. A man hr the name of
Gilmore, it is supposed, will bo the winner
In the end, although pot a regular dealer, and the
other awards will be made tn the same way.

No policemen resigned or were discharged yes*
torday. The Superintendent proposes to lay back
on bit oars fora few days now and look around.
Possibly a very few more may bo lopped 00. but
the force Is now reduced to very nearly
the required limits loconlorm to the appropriation,
and those who remain are comparatively safe. Tbo
Suncrlntcndcni'a office was besieged ail the after*
noun yesterday by Aldermen, who came In squads
on behalf nf their pels. It Is safe to say that not
a man boa been discharged so far whom the I)e*
partment could not spar* as well as not, and hut
very few, If any, remain who are not efficient and
worthy. This emergency haa most likely
enabled the Superintendent to get rid
of sumo moo who were a detriment
to his force, but who could nut very well be dccap*
Hated under ordinary circumstances without rais*
Inga fuss with their Aldermsnlcsupporters or oth*
cr political friends. It 1« rcasuimole to suppose
that the clllctuucy of the police force will be great*
ly enhanced by this wholesale weening out of weak
and incompetent men, though of course It is bard
to see a mango who haa served the city for many
year*, and lias grown old In the discharge of bis
duty. The Fire Department is settled at last.

Sauter, of No. 50 College-place. Then came John
Starchman, of No. 521 Cottage Grove avenue, and
Nellie O’Brien, of No. 110 Thirty-seventh street,
who swore that they and another young lady were
nut Monday evening walking In company with
Daly, and when near the crossing of Forty-third
street and tho dummy track. Daly knocked starch
man down and robbed him of S2O. and then
dragging Nellie to a vacant lot ontraged her. It
seems hardly credible that one so young as
Daly, should be so dissipated and so desperate,
but the witnesses swore point blank against him,
and bo bad but little to say in bis own defense.

A. n. CONDIT.
Tho A. D. Condit case of alleged embezzlement
was continued ycsteiday morning before Justice
Foote. Tho defense took up their side of the
question and swore * loan broker named Ncxscn.
He testified that bo had negotiated a loan of
SHI, 000 for the Town of Lake, and had received
commission* therefor amounting to SOOO. The
legal fees of $75 had also been paid through him.
Ho had negotiated other similar loans. The next
witness was a man named J. F. Foster. He testi
fied that tho SIB,OOO with which Condit had, In
bis annual report, credited himself was in part
composed of tax-certifieales which Condit bud cur
ried over from years preceding tho year of the re
port.
Mr. Toley, for tho defense, argued upon Fos
ter's testimony, and Mr. O'Brien confined bts re*
marita to the mistake found in Cundit'e books. 110
Mid that Condlt never touched the book*, and was
nut responsible for the mlatako which wore made
by hie clerks, who wore supposed to be competent.
Mr. Harvey, for the prosecution, argued that
Condlt, having fumlahcd tho data from which tho
accounts and books were in part kept, was re*
sponsible for errors, even had ho nut accepted
the footings of those books as his
own footings. He said In reference to the evidence
that Condlt had earned oror from year to year the
tax*certtncates aforesaid, that such a proceeding
was Impossible, because In theonnual report pro*
ceding that In which tho disputed figures were con
tained there was a credit In favor of Condlt for a
certain amount of lax-c«rilllca,cs, and be bad re
ceived none since that time.
Tho Court remarked that In Justice, In accord*
mice with law. and ont of his own consciousness,
he was oollgcd to discharge the prisoner.
TUB COUNTERFEITERS.
The men who wore arrested by the Secret Service
detectives Tuesday night fur making, having lu
possession, and passing counterfeit nickels, quar
ters, and halves, wore arraigned before United
States Commissioner Horne yesterday afternoon.
George Qulgg and Eugene Hartman hod counsel;
Ed l.ce andUourgolluofcrwerewlltiouta “mouth
piece.” The two latter said they wore ready for
trial. Hartman's attorney asked for a continu
ance, an did the one who represented Qalgg, be
saylug that be bad nut bed an opportunity to con
sult with his client. It was apparent that the
lawyers wonted the Uovermnvnt tb expose Its
bund,—to reveal its cose in the exami
nation of Lee and Hoofer. In order
that tfcuigg and Hartmau might bo benefited. On
the two ilrsl-inentloncd positive proof had been
found. As to the others, very little of a criminat
ing character had been divulged. If the prosecu
tion showed up Its witnesses in the examination of
Lee and Hoofer, tho testimony against (Julgu and
Hartman would, perhaps, come to the surface,and
thus they would have a chance to dx up a defense.
Hut Assistant-District-Attorney Doales didn't wish
to have the defendants separated. Tbe evidence,
he said, was woven together and affected all or
them more or leas. Counsel for Qolgg talked with
his client, and announced that bo was ready
for trial. Hoofer engaged Hartman's attorney.
Tbe four were tben ready to go ahead.
Mr. Doales wanted a continuance; one of the Gov
ernment wituessca had to be brought from a dis
tance. This announcement auscred Mr. Umliuf,
Oulgy's attorney, who protested against delay.
Tbe charge was a grave uno, and bis client was en
titled to a speedy trial, since bo could ahow that
he was perfectly Innoceut. A continuance would
do him great Injustice. Ho matter how strong tbe
web was woven. It would be easily unwoven.
Whatever tbe testimony was, it should bo proved.
Justice demanded that Qmgg have a speedy trial
and an honorable discharge. Mr. Uoalcs referred
to tho Inconsistency of Mr. Umlauf’e course, and
said that the Government was nut obliged to pro
ceed until Us witnesses wore present. 110 was
iLfjrtmd that tho proof against tbe accused
was satllciour, but bo was nut in a'position
to present It oil. Commissioner Hoyne didn't
think It woaldbe any hardship to the defendants
to defer their examination, lie accordingly con
tinued the case until 10 o’clock Tuesday morning.
In fixing the ball, tbe wealth of the parties was
considered. Detective Tyrrell and Deputy-
Marshal Bllllwell slated that (Julgg told them at
first that he was worth $300,000, but finally came
dowu to $16,000. tjulgg himself said ho was not
worth 15,000 cents. A {friend swore that be was
not worth SSOO. Ilia ball was fixed at Id, 600, ami
that of tho three at Id, 000 each. Hartmau was
released, but too others went to tall. (Juigg
is by far the most liitolltireni one of the
quartette. He was at one lime in the employ
of tbe Llncolu Farit Commissioners, and baa latter
ly been engaged In serving tax notices for them and
others on commission. There were a number of bis
friends present yesterday, and they couldn't ac
count for bis being tailed up in such a scrape,
since his reputation has always been good, so far
as they have any knowledge of it,
Another of the alleged gang was nicked up yes
terday afternoon. Ills name Is George Loytun.
alias illggcnbaum. He was committed In default
of Id,ooo ball for examination with tbe others.
This Is all tbe arresta that are to be made. De
tective Tyrrell baa certainly done a good piece of
work, and. if ibis evidence turns out to be of tho
character be claims, there is Ittilo chance for any
of tho accused avoiding a term at Joliet.
ALLEGED SWINDLE.

In his brief response Mr. Taylor said: "Ufa
well known that for years past 1 hare designed
writing n new biography of the great German
master. It has been specially mentioned by
tho press since my appointment, and
1 . need not hesitate to say that,
tho favor of our Government will ctvc me Im
portant facilities in tho prosecution of the
work. [Applause}. But tho question has also
been asked, very naturally, Is a Minister of a
foreign Court to bo appointed for such a purpose I
1 answer emphatically, nol Tno Minister’s
duty to his Government and to the interests of
his fellow-citlzcns Is always paramount. 1 shall
go to Berlin with tho full understanding of the
character of the services 1 am expected to
render, and tho honest determination to
IuKIII them to tho best of mv ability [ap
plause); hut, as my friends know, I hare mo
power and the habit of doing a great deal of
work, and I thing no one will complain if. in
stead of tlm recreation which others allow
themselves, I should tlnd my own recreation in
another form of labor. I hope to secure nt
least two hours out of each twenty-four
for my own work, without detriment to my
ofliclal duties, and if the two hours are not prac
ticable, one must sulllcc. I ahull be In. the
midst of the material 1 most need, shall be able
to make the acquaintance of the
men and women who can give mo
the best assistance, and. without looking
forward positively to tho completion of
the task, 1 may safely say that this opportunity
gives me a chccnul hope of being able to com
plete It.” [Applause.! Tho President of the

PREPARATIONS FOR ESCAPE.
The arrest of Ryan, a friend of William Tar
bio, the bunrlar, at tbo County Jail Monday
with two tiles In his possession, led the jail au
thorities to think toat Tarble was contemplat
ing au escape. Accordingly his cell
was searched last night, and evl
dcncca that be intended working his
way out were found. These consisted of two
saws, made out of knives, the edges being nick
ed, a false cell-key. the body being of lead, and
tbo teeth of uoop-lrou, and a facsimile
of the outer door key la wood.
The Urst was a rude Instrument,
but would have answered the purpose. U could
be cash? made to tit, since the lock was handy.
But how the Impression of the outer door key

THE STINGING SENSATION
In the gullet called “heartburn” (why, it (aim*
poßNtble to conceive, alnco the heart baa nothing
to do with It), la earned by the acetone fermenta*
tlon In the atomach of the food contained In it: by
an overplus of the gastric Juice. which la Itaelf a
powerful add, or by the unnaturally acrid quality
of that accretion. The ordinary way of treating
thia symptom, for It {• nothing die, la to admin*
liter bicarbonate of soda, an alkali, to neutralize
the acid. But aoor atomach cannot be cured by
alkalis, which tend to weaken the digestive ap
paratus, A far better remedy Is Hoaietter'a stom
ach bitters, which strengthen! the cellular mem
brane, the seat of the dtmcnUy, regulates the flow
of the gastric secretion. Improves the quality If
vitiated, and puts the stomach into good working
order. Perfect digestion follows aa a natural so*
quence, and there Is no more trouble from heart
burn or sour stomach. The liver and bowels are
also thoroughly regulated by this sovereign altera
tive.
