KILLS THE PAIN
STARTS THE CIRCULATION J
It makes no difference how severe the case may be, "5-DROPS," if used as ■
directed, will give quick relief. Rheumatism is caused by an acid poison ■
which accumulates in the system, settling in the joints, nerves or muscles, ■
and causing the most intense pain. It is a blood disease and can only be
cured by cleansing the blood of its impurities. No liniment can ever cure
rheumatism, although if the right kind be used it will stop the pains for the
H time being. Swanson's "5-DROPS" is both an internal and esternal rem
■ edy. Applied externally it will prevent those horrible pains with which a
■ rheumatic victim suffers. Taken internally it reaches the cause of the disease
B by going directly to the seat of trouble and removing the poisonous matter.

OLIVE CROP TO BE SHORT
Scanty Yield In Italy Due to Climatic
Conditions.
Florence, March 12. —Owing to ad
verse climatic conditions considerable
damage has been wrought to the Tus
can olive crop expected this season
from Lucca and the districts of Tus
cany generally, growers and exporters
will got barely a fourth of the averagt
quantity of a normal season. This state
of affairs was unexpected because last
season having been a bad one, this one
should have compensated the limited
output, which is generally the case.
Tuscan growers are, therefore, experi
encing rather hard times. They are for
the most part poor, and for want of
capital, unremunerative seasons and
heavy taxation are apt to neglest their
groves. Trees which should receive at
tention and be fertilized every three
years are often left unattended for five
years at a stretch. The result is a re
duction of the available quantity of
the best fruit. The cost of labor has
also increased, and instead of being
satisfied. as formerly, with a franc a
day, a substantial piece of bread, and

a liberal measure of wine, the laborer
demands higher prices and better fare.
One result of the scarcity of the crop
’ of the Lucca and other food districts
will be the greater demand for inferior
quality of oil, which, as correctly
stated, is also pure olive oil, but from
’I a very bad fruit. The unsuspecting pub
■ lie will, therefore, after tasting the
t anuseating product, be reluctant to try
the really delicate and wholesome ex
tract of the Tuscan olive. And in the
’ end the Tuscan growers will suffer
' more. t
j Experts are well aware that not even
Hfhe oil of any particular district is uni
’ formly reliable, and the variation in
quantity is very marked throughout
Italy. Compared with the oils of Bani
and the Riviera those of Tuscany are
J infinitely superior, the very best being
। that from Lucca. This year’s extrac
' tion is extremely good, and it is ex
rl pected, in spite of there being no redue
’ I tion in prices, that there will be a brisk
’ demand for this brand.

phy, Surgeon, Talks.
MEDICAL SOCIETY MEETS
Dr. ..John B. Murphy, head of the de
partment of surgery, school of inedi
! cine. Northwestern University, at Chi
j eago. gave a talk last night on the sub
| ject, ‘‘Surgery of the Spinal Cord and
I the Peripheral Nerves." before sixty |
members of the Bexar County Medical
association.
His lecture took the place of the reg
ular weekly program of the society,
which was suspended in order to hear
the fatnoiis surgeon speak.
Finishing his lecture, Dr. Murptty
I spoke of the war that was being waged
[ on the quacks and pretenders in tbe
j profession, operating in the state of
i Illinois, and the difficulty the physi
j cians of that state had to encounter in
| ousting them.
I He stated that he thought this under- ,
' taking by the doctors of Texas would
be much easier than in his own state,
on account of the stringency of ths
laws in dealing with this emss of fakir.
The Bexar County Medical society
। will inaugurate a fight against all of
। these pretenders at once, and the pros
: ecut ions will commence immediately.
Prominent physicians made several
stirring talks on this subject last night
and a subscription list was started to
> defray the necessary expense entailed
, j in waging this fight on the quacks.
. A committee consisting of Drs. W.
' B. Russ. W. A. King and E. V. DePew
, I were named to solicit funds and ar
. range any other necessary matters to
- start the ousting of the quack without
, further delay.
During the evening the following
> resolution was offered and was at once
■ unanimously adopted:
Whereas. The San Antonio Light
> and Gazette has had the courage
r , t<> publish from day to day an ae,-
| count of the trial of a traveling
1 | quack doctor, graduate of a bogus
medical college, ‘‘bloodless sur
-1 ■ geon." discoverer of the marvelous
! i syarthgil. which consists of a tin
' horn with an electric light in it,
who has for many months been
' taking enormous fees from his pa
tients: and
Whereas, The action of the
t Light and Gazette in publishing
an account of this trial has run the
risk of incurring the ill will of all
quaekdoni; and
Whereas, We believe that if the
. I polivy of making known the meth
ods of the charlatan were pursued
by all of the daily papers, a largo
1 number of which unfortunately
1 seem to feel that their duty has
1 been done when they have nccept-
I ed the dollars of the charlatan for
! publishing advertising matter in
■ । tended to assist in attracting vic
■ I tims; and
Whereas, The medical fakir can
not exist without the support, as
sistance, and co-operation of the
, press.
Be it Resolved. That we con
gratulate the Light and Gazette
upon its willingness to show up the
quack in his proper light.
Resolved Further. That a copy
I of these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of the associa
tion and another copy be forward
ed to the Light and Gazette with
a letter expressing the hope that
the time will soon come when the
1 newspapers of the country can no
more be induced to aid the cow-

BIG BONUSES
IT BOTH ENDS
FOR BAILRBID
Much Encouragement for Pro
posed Line Eagle Pass to
Aransas Pass. J
THROUGH FERTILE LAND I
Would Be Great Advantage to I
Shippers of Northern Mex
ico in Reaching Coast.
With liberal cash bonuses amounting 1 1
to hundreds of thousands of dollars be- j
ing offered at both ends, it' seems prob I
able that Engle Pass and Aransas Pass E
shortly will be connected by a direct
railroad line.
Several weeks ago Eagle Pass of
feted a bonus of $250,000 to the first
railroad builder constructing a line to
the new seaport. Aransas Pass has put
up a bonus of $50,000 to the rail
road builder making a new connection
witn any trunk line.
The people of Aransas Pass assert ,
that if a line is constructed from Aran
sas Pass to Engle Pass the bonus will
go to the builder constructing this Hue.:
Through Fertile Section.
The people of Eagle Pass, in addition '
to the large bonus offered, have agreed ;
to donate terminal sites, depot, right
of-way through the city and through
the county in which Eagle Pass is .
located.
Because of the large area of fertile;]
| territory that would be tapped by a .
: direct line from Eagle Pass to Arnn
I sns Pass, such a railroad ought to be I
I come a paying proposition.
There is a large area of territory in
i Northern Mexico that now finds out-1
I let only over the Rascon mountains to j
i Monterey. The grade over these moun-
I tains is so heavy that but three or four |
! loaded cars cau be hauled at oue trip,
j even with two engines attached.
Advantage to Shippers.
A line from Eagle Pass to Aransas I
I Pass would enable shippers in North- -
orn Mexico to ship their products to
la deep seaport with much less cost of |
transportation than is the ease at pres-1
। ont.
In the meantime, feeling certain ade-,
| quate railroad connections will be made |
by the time the docks and wharves I
have been completed, tho Aransas Pass
Channel & Dock company is rushing I
work day and night on the harbor im-.
provements.
Two powerful dredges, numbers eight I
and four, arc cutting their way across,
llatbor Island, never eeasing except |
for repairs.
‘‘These two dredges will be kept at I
work, day and night, six days in the;
week," says E. O. Burton, president of J
the Aransas Pass Channel <k Dock Co., ।
‘‘until the docks have been built,
wharves constructed and the port
placed in proper shape to handle heavy
ocean traffic. There will be no stop I
until everything has been completed. I
The work is going on day and night un
til Aransas Pass become an adequate I
seaport with all the facilities for the
handling of heavy ocean traffic."
R. P. Clark, president of the Bowers'
Southern Dredging company, the com ;
pany having the contract for the chan-1
nel work, asserted a few .lays ago that |
the main channel across Harbor Island I
would be completed within a few weeks,
tic and far-reaching of any in the
United States and the attorneys of the
American Medical association have rec I
ommended that the Texas measure be j
submitted to other states as a model
to be followed in framing laws that
shut out the charlatan. The measure
defines the practice of medicine as tho |
acceptance of pay for treating a sick i
person.
ODD FELLOW DELEGATES
HAD ENJOYABLE DAY
The officers and delegates to the ,
grand lodge meeting of Odd Fellows. |
who spent several hours in the city
yesterday, were loud in their praise of
the hospitality shown to them while
in San Antonio, and the committees
which planned the entertainment for
them. The reception committee from
the Miriam and Alamo lodges consisted
of Mesdames Lorena Welsch. Anna
West, Emilia Blank. C. L. Sauer and
W. 8. Urquhart. The local reception
committee of ladies tendered the visit
ing Rebekahs a luncheon at the hall.:
while the officers and delegates of the I
Odd Felloes were escorted over to a 1
| restaurant later in the evening and;
i served with a Mexican supper.
] Owing to the late adjournment oi
i the grand lodge at Austin yesterday,
many of the officers were not able to
! come over on the last excursion and
I sent their regrets by wire promising to
visit San Antonio at a future date. The
I committee that cared for the odd Fel
’ lows while in tho city was composed of
C. L. Sauer, grand scribe of the grand J
