Over and over, Dr. Caldwell wrote this prescription as he found men, women, and children suffering from those common symptoms of constipation, such as coated tongue, bad breath, headaches, gas, nausea, bilious- ness, poor appetite, or lack of energy, etc. And it invariably relieved these symptoms so much more pleasantly, so much quicker than other things, that his patients simply had to tell other people about it. The demand for this prescrip- Single prescription Seventh Street tion grew so fast that by 1888 Dr. Caldwell was forced to have it put up ready for use and sup- ply drug stores with it.

THE EVENING DATA ON FLORIDA GIVEN TO LIBRARY Source Material Was Col- lected by Late Mrs. Jeannette T. Connor. A collection of source material for a history of Spanish Florida, a large part of it as yet unpublished, has been added to the already large collection of refer- ences on the subject at the Library of Congress, it was announced today. It is the gift of Washington E. Connor of New York, whose wife, the late Mrs. Jeannette Thurber Connor, collected the material. ‘The recent gift of Edward 8. Hark- ness, it is stated at the Library, supplies original material dealing with Spain’s role in the early history of Mexico and Peru. The Connor material furnishes parallel original material. The collection just received, the Li- brary announces, is singularly valuable because of the unusual competence of Mrs. ucannor 1in selecting pertinent docu- ments, Maps Willed to Library. Mrs. Connor, daughter of Mrs. Jean- nette Thurber, to whose public spirit the United States of the eighties owed the establishment of the American Opera Co., was led into an absorbing interest in Florida history through the presence on her husband’s Florida estate of the ruins of an old mission, it is explained at_the Library. For more than 10 years she labored with sustained industry and recognized scholarship on the history of Spanish Florida, for which almost inexhaustible material is preserved in Spain, espe- clally in the archives of the Indie in le, but which remained an almost unknown fleld, excepting for the treat- ment in the late Wwdblfi Lowery’s two books on “the Span settlements within the limits of the United States.” | These, however, bring the narrative only | to 1574. On Mr. Lowery's death in 1906 { his important collection of maps, de- | lineating the Spanish possessions within the present limits of the United States from 1502 to 1820, came under his will to the National Library. They provide | the geographical {llustration of the ex- tensive collection of documents accu- mulated by Mrs. Connor. Other than in the writings of Mr. | Lowery, brought to a sudden ending by his death, Mrs. Connor found the exist- |ing histories of Florida unsatisfactory. | Convinced of the necessity of continu- | ing the work in this pioneer field, she was led to the examination of tran- seripts in American collections of Span- |ish documents relating to Florida, and | beginning the plans for a series of vol- umes, “Colonial Records of Florida,” acquired from Seville great masses of transcripts and photostat copies of the letters and reports of the Spanish gov- ernors and other officials of Florida from 11570 down through the whole périod of | the seventeenth century and the begin- ning of the eighteenth. It is these and related papers which constitute the bulk \of the documents now presented to the Library. Mrs. Connor's interest in this fleld, joined with that of John B. Stetson, Jr., envoy of the United States to Poland, were the forces which organized the Florida State Historical Society, dis- tinctly a publishing society, and with the editorial energy of Dr. James A. i LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE—Still Loyal.

Mrs. Connor’s first publications were two volumes commemorative of the two leading figures, Spanish and French, respectively, of the first years of Florida history—Menendez and Ribaut. Both these books were published by the Flor- ida State Historical Society. The first was “Pedro Menendez de Aviles, The Memorial by Gonzalo Solis de Meras,” written by the brother-in-law of the Adelantado in or about 1567, first pub- lished in Spain in 1893 and in 1923 published in Spanish with Mrs. Connor’s scholarly English translation. The other volume (1927) was a new edition, with all the apparatus of scholarship, of “Jean Ribaut: The Whole and True Discoverye of Terra Florida,” first pub- lished in a volume of which only two copies are now known in 1563. Meanwhile Mrs. Connor had made a beginning of her great design by pub- lishing the first volume of * “Colonial Records of Spanish Plorida: Letters and Reports of Secular Persons.” This first volume runs from 1570 to 1577, and is full of interesting material.
