NOT LIKELY TO PASS.

Opinions of Many Electors onthe Charter.

THE POWER OF THE MAYOR.

Fire Commissioner A. J. Martin GivesHis Ideas.

CHIEF CROWLEY H FAVOR OF IT.

Tlio Special Election Leads Some to ThinkIt WillBe Defeated— The "Gang"

Will Fight It.

Everybody in San Francisco wants a new

charter, but itseems difficult to propose aninstrument that will meet with generalapproval. It was only Tuesday morning

that the proposed new charter was pub-

lished inThe Call, yet before noon therewere hundreds of men going about thestreets announcing their determination to

"knife the proposition from beginninsr toend." Even those who were not openlyagainst the charter -were condemning itwith faint praise, and very few were out-spoken inits advocacy.

Tax Collector Block said he had notgiven the charter a careful reading, buthad gained the impressiou from what hehad heard that too much power had beenvested in the Mayor.

'•I asrree with the Freeholders that theoflices of Tax Collector and License Col-lector should be consolidated." he said,

'\u25a0fur Ibelieve that every cent of tax moneyshould be under the bujm rvision of oneman. However, Ifear that the charter isdoomed to defeat on account of the im-mense influence that will be brought to

st it."'•1 don't see how they figured that the

consolidation of the offices of License Col-lector and Tax Collector could be accom-plished," said Fred Lees, who is the incum-bent in the License Collector's office. "Theofficer who will preside over the combineddepartments willnot be allowed any moreclerks than Inow have. The plan is notpracticable. From what Ican hear thegeneral sentiment of the people is againstsuch radical changes as are proposed, andIlook for the defeat of the proposed in-strument by a big majority."

"This idea of presenting the charter forconsideration at a special election is allwrong," said George T. Marye. "Hadthe board decided to place itbefore thepeople at a regular election, when everyone gets out to vote, Iwould have stronghopes of its passage; but at a special elec-tion many of the better element willnottake the trouble to vote, while the elementopposed to it,the professional office-seek-ers and petty politicians, will work againstits passage with might and main. Ofcourse. Ihope for the best, but Ifear forthe result."

Michael Smith (sans whiskers), who maysafely be said to understand how tiie"push" stand on the proposition, said.

"This business of making the Mayor thekinsrpinof the whole citygovernment won'tgo down with the boys." They want to seethings more evenly divided, "and to have afair chance for the fat jobs. Under thenew charter their chances are poor. Thenthe civilservice business willmake a lot ofthem hustle against it. For myself 1thinkit would be poor policy to give the Mayorso much power, and I*would vote -a gainstit for that reason. You can bet the boyswillhe out infull force on election day."

Attorney George K. IJ. Hayes, who wasa member of a former Board of Freehold-ers, said:

"Of course Idesire to see the charter ac-cepted, for we need one very badly, andthe instrument, as far as I"have had achance of reading it, is a good one. but Ifear from the fact that it willbe voted onat a special election that it willbe de-feated. We have had the same experiencebefore, and it will come again. Specialelections do not bring out the desirableelement of voters, but every member of'de pang' as it is called, will be on hand tovote as early and often as possible.""I was opposed to the charter," said

Chief of Police Crowley. "until Isaw byThe Call that the Freeholders had recon"-sidered their intention of giving the Mayorthe power of removing the Police Commis-sioners and other officers at will. Thiswould have been a great mistake.

"Suppose for an instant that under suchconditions a man like I.S. Kalloch was tobe elected and a serious strike shouldbreak out. Bein«: in sympathy with thestrikers, lie would refuse to order out theNational Guard, ifsuch a course should benecessary, and if the police showed a dis-position or ability to suppress the lawlesselement that always springs up on s'ichoccasions, he could put a stop to theiroperations by removing the Commis-sioners, Chief or any one else he chose,place bis own men inoffice and completelycripple the department The Mayor .shouldbe permitted to suspend officials*for cause,pending an investigation, but it shouldrequire a two-thirds-vote of the Board ofSupervisors toTemovethem permanently."

"The fact of the matter is." said Fire Com-missioner Martin, "this scheme of put-ting the power of appointing all these of-ficials in the hands of the Mayor is simplytransferring the municipal patronage fromone set of bosses to another. The greattrouble with the Board of Freeholders wasthat they did not have time enough to dotheir work carefully. Instead of eighteenor twenty days they should have had sixmonths. The head of each departmentshould have been called on for a consulta-tion with the members, and after his sug-gestions had been exhausted the subor-dinates should have had a hearing. Inthis manner the board would have arrivedat a better understanding of the needs ofeach department and the public wouldhave had a better document to pass upon.

"As to whether the public willaccept thecharter, Iwillguarantee that it willneverreceive the necessary majority. The work-ingmen are against it to a man, for whilethe heads of department* have in manycases been granted a raise in salary, thesubordinates have been cut down. "Takethe draymen of the Fire Department, forinstance. The teamsters of some of thelarge firms of this city, Holhrook, Merrill& Stetson as an example, receive .S9O amonth and do not even have to care fortheir own horses. Do you think that willbe a popular measure? The engineers, ma-chinists and ironmakers of this city willalso right hard against the charter, becausethe pay of the men holding similar posi-tions in the department have been reducedbelow what they could make working forprivate individuals. Ihave talked to fiftymen, at least, this morning, and each onesaid he would vote against the charter."

A WEALTHY BURGLAR.PhilipKeichert Causes Judge Campbell

Some I'crplexity.

The question of whether PrfilipReichert,charged with burglary, is of unsoundmind perplexed Judge Campbell yesterdaymorning, when Keichert's preliminary ex-amination was held.

Reichert is a man of means. He owns ahotel in Calistoga and the house and lot,2H19}4 Folsom street, where he resides.About 4o'clock in the morning of January28 he was found in the cook's room in theAhlborn House, Dupont street. He couldgive no explanation of his presence thereand was handed over to Policeman GeorgeBrown, who booked him forburglary. Hehad a sack with him and inhis pockets

were found a large number of keys and aclaspknife ground down so fine that itcould easily be forced between the sashesof a window.

The witnesses for the prosecution testi-fied to the facts as stated. Carrie Wicks, abuxom German girl,testified that she hadbeen engaged to be married to Reichertfor a long time, but recently she found hewas a married man and broke off the en-gagement. Reichert begged her not togive him up and he would obtain a divorcefrom liis wife.

Reichert accounted for having the sackwithhim by saying that he was on his wayto the market to buy onions. He gavesuch queer answers to some of the ques-tions that the Judge was perplexed as towhether he was sane or not, and was moreso when Attorney Louis T. Durnand testi-fied to his good character.

Finally the Judge decided to hold Reich-ert to answer before the Superior Court in$1000 bonds.

AN EAST VICTIM.John Brntinlln Swindled Out of His

Money by a I'.uiiko Man.Charles Paulsen, known among bunko

men as "The Swede," was booked at theCity Prison yesterday by Detectives Dillonand Crockett and Policeman J. J. Riley onthe charges of petty larceny and vagrancy.

John Braunlin, who had been workingon a ranch inSacramento County, arrivedin the city on Saturday night. He wentto the Reno House, where they met Paul-sen, and they had a talk together. Paulsengot into Braunlin's good graces by thepromise of a joband finally steered him tothe Jack Rabbit saloon on Jackson street.

While standing at the bar a tall mancame in and he and Paulsen began tothrow dice. The usual result followed.Paulsen borrowed $10 from Braunlin and.accompanied by the tall man, slipped outof the saloon. Braunlin caught Paulsenand demanded his $40. Paulsen said hehad given the money to the tall man, butif Braunlin would go with him to a friendon Third street he would get the money.When they reached Third street Paulsenbolted, but ran into the arms of PolicemanRiley. The detectives are hunting for thetall man.

ANOLD MIXER'S SORROW.

Deserted by His Kindred He Goes tothe Almshouse.

Tribulations of Edward Delay, Once theAssociate of Many of the

Bonanza kings.

Eighty years of age, poor, deserted byhis kindred, and at one time the associateof John Mackay, James G. Fair and otherkings of the Comstock lode, Edward Delaywillspend his last days in the Almshouse.

Delay told the story of his life to Secre-tary McComb of the Humane Society yes-terday. He told how he came here inI^4oto seek after gold, and how some years laterhe and John Mackay worked togetoer withthe pick and shovel near Grass Valley."Imet John O'Brien on the Allison ranch

in 1856," remarked he, '"and later went tothe Comstock, where Imet James G. Fair.We worked together for a long time andowned one or two mines together. ButFair's luck didn't come until later, andmine never came."

Mr.Delay was unable to work at miningwhen he reached his sixty-fifth year, andin that time his former associates nad risento eminence in the financial world. Oncein a while Mackay and Fair rendered himassistance in a financial way that neces-sary help which was denied him by hischildren.

If Mr. Delay's story be true his son,Daniel J. Delay, principal of the OceanView School, does not figure in a favorablelight. The old man alleges that he repeat-edly asked his son for help and that all ofhis appeals fell on deaf ears."Inave three other sons," said he, "but

Idonot know where they are. Ihaven'tseen them for a long time and know noth-ing about them. All Idesire now is aplace where Ican rest my bones until Idie."

Secretary McComb informed Delay thathe had no jurisdiction in the case, but thathe would send him to the Almshouse witha note recommending his reception there.This was accordingly done.

CEIME IN CHINATOWN.Rev. Dr. Blasters Replies to the Asser-

tions of Miss Dunham.

Certain statements were made by MissLucy Dunham, a house-to-house mission-ary in Chinatown, at the meeting on Mon-day of the Occidental Board of ForeignMissions of the Presbyterian Church, whichhave called forth the following reply fromRev. Frederic J. Masters, the Methodistmissionary :Chinese Mission M. E. Church, 916 Wash-)

ington street, Rev. F. .1. Masters, Supt. >San Fkakcsco, Februarys, 1896. )

Chief of Police P. Crmelen Beq.—uti* Sir:My attention was called this morning to a re-port of a statement made by a lady of anothermission reflecting upon ihe police in China-town.Ihave noticed for the last fouror fivemonths

the great improvement inthe condition of thaionce lawless place. Thinking that withthe ad-vin!of a new squad the past deplorable evilshad possibly cropped up agflinImade a tour ofthe street slums this afternoon to see whatground the lady had for her ciianres.Ithink it is* only fair to slate that Ifound

Chinatown in a condition exactly the oppositeof that described by her. Highbinderism isdead. Ifailed to find a sign or flag whore sixyears ago twenty secret societies terrorizedover the whole place. Ialso failed to find anytan or lotteryden and only two agencies of lot-teries where a year ago the town wai fullofthem. Ross alley, that was once given up totan, is now deseru-d. Half the houses were tolet, and every house on that street was closed.Ialso noticed that the once notorious resorts

on Cum Cook, Baker and Spofford alleys andother quarters are' closed, and prostitution isonly carried on where solicitation is an impos-sibility.I have great pleasure in testifying to the

efficiency of Sergeant Gillen and his squad.They were indeed a terror to the evil-doers aridthe praise of them that do well. Isuppose thatyou had good reasons for making nchange,although all good citizens must feel that.hisremoval willbe a great loss to the community.

In making this remark Ido not wish to re-flect upon 1:is successor, who may bean equallygood man. Iremain yours very truly,

Frkdsbxc J. Masters.Ihave written this letter unsolicited by any

person, and you are at full liberty to makewhat use you like of its contents. Icongratu-late you for the good work already accom-plished by men who are a credit toyour force.

Was Promised the Estate.Jacob H. Lindecker is suing Mary

Broughton, executrix of the estate ofGeorge Ashton, for possession of the prop-erty left by the deceased. The suit is nowon trial before Judge Slack. Lindecker'sclaim is that while attending the deceaseddunng part of his last illness he was prom-ised the estate which would be left. AfterAshton s death, however, a willwas foundmaking different disposition of the prop-erty and naming Mrs. Broughton asexecutrix. Undue influence was used,Lindecker claims, and he wants to breakthe will on that ground. The estate isvalued at $5000.

TO TRAINOUR YOUTH.

Military Instruction in thePublic Schools.

GENERAL INTEREST AROUSED.

Colonel A.D. Cutler in Charge of theWork Here.

TOE IOTEIEST FAIRLY ISDER WAY.

Tho School Board WillBe Asked to TakeAction at Once

—Coomb's

Billin Congress.

The movement recently inaugurated inthe East to provide for military instructionin the public schools throughout the UnitedStates has readied San Francisco and inashort time steps will be taken in this cityand State to interest the Boards of Educa-tion in the matter.

Colonel Alfred D. Cutler of George H.Thomas Post No. 2 has been appointedspecial aid to Ccmmander-in-Chief ThomasG. Lawler of the Grand Army of the lie-public to conduct the movement on thePacific Slope. Colonel Cutler is a •well-known military man, whose selection tosupervise the work in this State is deemedby Grand Army men to be an enviablehonor.

The movement to introduce military in-struction in the course of study of the pub-lic schools had its origin about two yearsago. Owing to the difficultyof obtainingsuitable instructors the movement did notprogress favorably, but on December 19last Hon. William J. Coombs of Brooklynwas induced to introduce a billinCongresswhich provides that "those schools andeducational institutes of the several Stateswhich shall adopt a system of military in-struction shall receive the assistance of theGovernment in order to secure to theUnited States such a knowledge of mili-tary affairs among the youth of the coun-try as will make them efficient as volun-teers if called upon for the national de-fense."

The bill authorizes the Secretary of Warto issue at his discretion ordnance andstores belonging to the Government re-quired for military instruction in the pub-he schools, and to detail for such instruc-tion officers of the army stationed in townsof over 500 inhabitants. Such instructionin all cases shall be free of charge.

The passage of the bill by the presentCongress being assured, Commander-in-Chief Lawler has already appointed aidsin various parts of the country to in-augurate the work. Colonel Cutler wasone of the appointee?, and, when his com-mission arrives, which will be in a fewdays, he will actively enter upon the dis-charge of his duties.

"The main purpose of this great move-ment," said Colonel Cutter to a Call rep-resentative yesterday, "is to introducemilitary instruction in all the schools ofthe country. Itis intended by this instruc-tion to inculcate a spirit ofpatriotism inthe minds of our growing boys and tocreate in their hearts reverence for the Hag,fpr the preservation of which their fore-fathers bled and died."Ibelieve withGeneral Nelson A. Miles

that 'to instill patriotism in the minds ofthe youth willrender the Government per-manent and happy. 1 The man whohonorshis country's nag is necessarily a goodcitizen. Itis therefore important, inorderto perpetuate the great institutions of ourcountry and to render the hearts of ourcitizens loyal, that some military trainingshcii id be given to our young boys."

ColonelCutler has not yet clearly out-lined the course he willpursue in pushingthe work on the Pacific Coast. He willinIfew days confer with the Board of Edu-cation and seek to have the course of studyin the schools altered, so that thirtyminutes each day will be devoted to in-structing the pupils in military tactics,patriotism, etc. flic Grand Army postsnave already been notified of Colonel Cut-ler's appointment and the request madethat each post detail instructors to actwhen the necessary authority to do so isgranted by the School Directors. Thework having been established here it willbe vigorously prosecuted inother cities onthe coast by Grand Armymen.

EEIOEM COMMITTEES.Discussion of Matters Now Pending in

the Legislature.

Atan executive meeting of the Commit-tee of Eleven, held yesterday afternoon,George T. Gaden, the president, tenderedhis resignation, offering as a reason thathis business did not allow him time to at-tend to the duties of the office. The resig-nation was accepted and C. C. Terrill waschosen to tillthe vacancy.

A. W. Thompson introduced a preambleand resolution, which wore unanimouslyadopted. These are ineffect that as eachbranch of the Legislature seems to be op-posed to a committee of its members beingappointed to investigate election fraudsand official corruption it is for thebest interests of California that a commis-sion be appointed, and that it enter uponthe work of investigation with all con-venient dispatch.

Secretary Reynolds was instructed tonotified the Civic Federation that the com-mittee of eleven is ready to co-operatewith it in a mass-meeting to be held onSaturday night.

The sub-comniittee onlegislation was in-structed to devise ways by which each ofthe organizations having forits object theinvestigation of frauds may have repre-sentation by attorney with right to pre-sent facts and question witnesses.

Several matters were discussed in con-nection with the proposed inquiry, but themembers were pledged to secrecy as tothese for the present.

The committee willmeet again Saturdayafternoon in the Mills building.

A WOMAN'S WRATH.Mrs. Hannah Sullivan 'Finds Herself in

a Serious Predicament.Mrs. Hannah Sullivan, who lives on

Chesley street, near Seventh, was arrestedabout ten days ago on the charges of bat-tery and using vulgar language. Itis nowprobable she will have to answer to a fel-ony charge instead.

The victim of her wrath was Mrs. AnnieCummins, a neighbor. They met at avegetable wagon, where they were makingsome purchases. They were not onfriendly terms, and soon they were in themidst of an angry discussion. Mrs. Sulli-van knocked Mrs. Cummins down andlumped on her, using language more forci-ble tnan polite.

Mrs. Cummins was in a delicate condi-tion, and since then she has b,een laid upin bed. When the cases were called inJudge Conlan's covirt yesterday a medicalcertiiicate was handed to the Judge thatMrs. Cummins was dangerously ill andmight not recover. The cases were con-tinued tillSaturday.

THE GRAND AEMY.General Interest in tHo Next Annual

Encampment.The various Grand Army posts in the

Department of the Pacific are making prep-arations for the annual encampment to beheld at Sacramento at a date in Aprilto beselected hereafter. It is expected thatCommander-in-Chief Thomas G. Lawler ofRockford, 111., willbe present, and the dateof the encampment willbe fixed to suit hisconvenience.

The committee having in charge the ar-rangements consists of Frank Miller andD. J. Simmons of Sacramento. They havealready issued various circulars relative tothe encampment calculated to rouse publicinterest in the affair.

The main feature of the encampment willbe the election of a department commander.The contest for that office is unusuallylively, and thus far three candidates haveannounced themselves. They are: C. E.Wilson of Thomas Post, San Francisco;W. R. Thomas of Appomattox Post, Oak-land, and John Burke of Sumner Post,Sacramento. The friends of Mr. Wilsonarc making a strong fight in his behalf,and the general opinion is that he willbeelected.

BURGLAR-CATC HING CRAZE

Mrs. Constance Foiielic Is the LatestHeroine.

She Tells in Court How She Caught aBurglar in Her Room and

Effected His Arrest.

This winter willbe remembered in policecircles for the number of burglars thathave been captured red-handed by youngand pretty women.

Miss Willetta Robertson, who capturedGus Griffiths in the Hotel Savoy, and Mrs.Blanche Whitney, who arrested Fred L.Lpwen at 1012 Bush street, have had theirdeeds of heroism told in the press, and nowMrs. Constance Fouche, a petite andcharming French lady, conies to the front.

On the night of January 28 Mr.--. Fouchewent to her room in the Gailhard Hotel,509 Pine street. As she walked inshe sawa burly, thick-set man, who walked quicklytoward her. With a woman's quick in-stinct, she realized she had a burglar todeal with and darted out of the door,closing it after her. She held on to theknob and screamed for help. The burglaron the inside tried to force the door open,but she placidly held to the knob with allher strength. \Vhen assistance arrived shewas nearly exhausted.

When she released her hold the doorflew open, but the burglar was confrontedby several men who had been attracted byMrs. Fouche's screams. The burglar drewa bludgeon from his pocket, but he wasquickly overpowered and held till Police-man McNulty arrived. The burglar gavethe name of Albert Johnson. Whensearched, a pair of opera glasses, somemoney and jewelry Delonging to Mrs.Fouche were found inhis pockets, besidestwo skeleton keys.

Johnson's preliminary examination washeld before Judge Conlan yesterday morn-ing. Mrs. Fouche modestly told her storyand identified the articles taken fromJohnson. Her husband, Eugene Fouche,gave corroborative evidence, and the Judgeheld Johnson to answer before the SuperiorCourt in$2000 bonds.'•Ifthis sort of thingcontinues," remarked

the Judge, "we won't need any policemenfor capturing burglars, as the ladies seemto be catching them all."

RIVAL SODA MEN.They Take Their Grievances Into the

Poltoa Court.

There is a bitter feeling between P. G.Somps and M. Mouret & Co., rival soda-water manufacturers, which has been car-ried into the Police Court.

Yesterday morning Mr. Somps swore outwarrants inJudge Low's court for the ar-rest of three of Mouret &Co.'s drivers, JohnLacon, Dennis Bellgarde and John Barrare,on a felony charge of stealing his siphonbottles.

Mr. Somps said that the drivers ofMouret & Co.'a wagons had been gatheringup his bottles, breaking them and sellingthe lead. Last year 3000 bottles, worth $1each, had disappeared in that way.

A few days ago some of Somps' mendressed themselves in shabby clothing andwent to Mouret & Co.'s establishment onMontgomery street, near Jackson, repre-senting themselves as rag and bottle men.They found a barrel filled with broken bot-tles belonging to Somps.

On Tuesday Somps obtained a searchwarrant. He accompanied the officer toMouret & Co.'s, amt they discovered alarge number of his bottles packed undersome hay. 80 yesterday he swore out thewarrants for the arrest of the three drivers.He threatens to bring Mouret before theGrand Jury.

CAPTAIN REED EXONERATED.The Charpo of Cruelty Against Him

Oimkly Dismissed.The charges ofcruelty against Captain E.

W. Reed of the American ship T. F.Oakes were dismissed by CommissionerHeaoock yesterday. James Murphy, theseaman who brought the charge againstCaptain Reed, fared worse at the hands ofhis own witnesses than the accused cap-tain. The testimony went to show thatMurphy was a lazy "fellow who shipped asboatswain, and was disrated on account ofincompetencv. The sailors he put on thestand all admitted that they had com-plained of his rough treatment while hewas boatswain. They saw Captain Reedthrow Murphy to the deck, but they didnot see Murphy kicked, as he alleged. Cap-tain Reed said he shoved Murphy down ona pileof sails as the latter attempted tostrike him. There was noevidence againstReed sufficient to hold him on any charge.

FUNERAL OF FELIX DEUTSOH.Large Attendance at the Obsequies of

the Young Attorney.

The funeral of Felix Deutsch took placeyesterday from his late residence on Pinestreet, a large number of friends accom-panying the remains to the Home of PeaceCemetery. The services were performed

by Rabbi Voorsanger. There was an ex-traordinary number of beautiful floraltributes sent by friends.

Felix Dcutsch was a Native Son, havingbeen born here less than twenty-four yearsago. He was an attorney, attached toPierson &Mitchell's office. But his mostnotable characteristic was his strong en-thusiasm for reform in municipal affairs.As founder and president of the Good Gov-ernment Club Mr.Deutsch was known asa most devoted worker for political purityand the introduction into local govern-ment of the civil service system. Hewas especially earnest in denouncing therecent appointment of a Police Commis-sioner, since removed, and, indeed, his un-timely death was generally attributed totoo rigid devotion to the prosecution of hishigh aims.

The pallbearers at the funeral werechiefly composed of members of the GoodGovernment Club. Mr. Deutsch was for-merly secretary of the PhilharmonicSociety.

DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS SCIENCEIN NEATNESS? BE WISE ANDUSE

COPELAND INSTITUTE.

The . Folly of Paying More forTreatment and Medicines.

There IsNo Better Medical Service Than ThatGiven by the CopeUnd Medical,-j;.:.' Institute.

The best medical service in this season ol"hard times" should not cost more than $5 amonth.

This is the stand that Drs. Copeiand, Winnand Neal take. This is the gauntlet that theythrow down to their confreres in the pro-fession.

The physician who charges more than thatamount as his monthly fee does so because hispractice is so limited that he is obliged to, orbecause he feels that he is able to bamboozlehis patients to swell his receipts.

There is no better medical service than Drs.Copeland, Winn and .Veal give in their special-ties. Their large practice attests this fact,their established situation proclaims it, theirtestimonials emphasize it. \u25a0*.'\u25a0 .

Five dollars a month is the only charge fortreatment and medicines. Ifyou pay more youare simply giving away all over and abovothat amount.

Thomas Richards, 1519 Eddy Street."About three years ago Itook a severe cold, a

common thing"in this climate, but a seriousthing for me, for nothing Icould do wouldbreak itup, and itsoon became a case of chroniccatarrh. My eyes, ears, nose, throat, and, Inshort, my whole system was affected by thetrouble; my appetite failed me; what littleImanaged to eat caused trouble in my stomach.Icould not sleep at nitrht, and was generally ina bad condition. Itcontinued- to grow worse,until1became alarmed that my lungs wouldbecome affected. 1doctored myself and triednil the. old remedies, but nothing seemed tohelp me at all. Iread of the success of l>rs.Copeland, Winn and Neal in cases similar tomine and concluded Iwould give them a trial.Idid so, and now, after a short course of treat-'ment, lam comparatively a wellman again. Ifeelbetter than Ihave for years, and cannotsay enough in praise of the skillful treatmentof Dr». Copeland, Winn and Neal. Myadviceto sufferers from chronic maladies is to givethem a trial."

HOME~TREATMENT.Every mall brings additional proof of the suc-

cess Of the home or mail treatment.

R. T. Meeker, Occidental, Cal., writes: "Iwillnot need any more medicines, forIam surethatIam cured. There has not been a sign ofthe symptoms for some time, and Ifeel splen-didagain. Iwill always recommend you toany one suffering, as Ihave confidence inyourtreatment. Itcured me.
