Court Sat Ex-Judge Robert Ferral was one of the story-tellers at the high jinks given by the Press Club in honor of the Bohemian Club & few evenings ago. Judge Ferral, although not an old man, was one of the twelve Judges elected to the bench when the Superior Court of this city 1. composed of Preésiding Judge Daingerfield and Judges Allen, Halsey, Finn, Hunt, , Wilson, Edmunds, Sullivan, Fre | T as to whether or not the Grand Jury can | | file presentments; in other words, if they | | can - take cognizance of misdemeanors. | McPike maintained | had that the Grand Jury | | no power to file presentments, as it is’| a part of the Superior Court, where misde- | meanors are not considered in'that court | except on appeal.

William McIntyre’s Ex-Wife Charges Him With Deception. The rather peculiar spectacle of an ex- wife testifying in behalf of her successor in | a suit to annul marriage appeared in Judge | Sanderson’s court yesterdsy morning. | The case gn trial was that of Amy McIn- tyre against William McIntyre, a suit to annul a marriage contracted on Febrnary 5 last. | Mrs. McIntyre alleged that her husband | | had represented to her that he was a man | of considerable wealth and position and | had promised her a good home if she would marry him. He was none of the | things he had represented himself to be, | she said, and to prove this part of her case he had Mrs. Mary E. Bowen called to the | stand. ! Mrs. Bowen was Mrs. McIntyre, but she | | was divorced from the deceiver and was | OAKLAND'S EI-NATOR ~ CITED T0 APPEAR. N, W. SPAULDING ACCUSED OF| MISAPPROPRIATING FUNDS OF AN ESTATE.

Carr, the well-known Kern County capitalist, have been ordered to appear before Judge Ellsworth on March 25 and show cause why an attachment hould not issue to compel them to render an account in the estate of Harrison J. Mc- Kusick, deceased, for which they have been acting as administrators, and why the letters to them as such should not be revoked. McKusick was a wealthy resident of B\ VVLLIVAN, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN FRANCISCO AT e voce fErrAk THE DATE OF ITS ORGANIZATION.

Of these seven are still living, while five—Judges Dain- gerfield, Halsey, Wilson, Edmunds and Freelon—have passed on to the final judg- ment. ““The organization of the first courtin San Francisco was an important matter to the city and county and the Judges were fully alive to the fullness of its import- ance,’ said Judge Ferral, with a far-away look in his eye as it fell on the Press Club’s new and_elaborate fireplace, thereby leav- ing a divided impression as to what he might be laughing at. “I remember that, having all duly taken the oath of office, we came together with an undefined nétion as to what we should do_next. 7e were Judges, the court had been organized and our salary had begun its course in our favor and behalf, but there were no cases to be tried. Probably it was the thought of this—that our salary was going on, and. it devolved upon us to do something—that caused Judge Hunt to break into a situation that was becoming painful with the suggestion, ‘Let us go and get our pictures taken.’ “It struck a responsive chord with each of us, and the court promptly adjourned to enable the court to go to a photograph gallery and have its picture taken.” This semi-official statement of the first act of the Superior Court of the city and county of S8an Francisco called out a story of the first and only time the court sat in bank. *The court had been runnin, time, business had piled up be; a very judicial air had settled u about it,and the thought occurres of the Judges that it was about time this court should sit in bank. So a case was singled out that seemed to be of sufficient weight to warrant it and the day was fixed for the court to come together in its full judicial strength and léarning. % “The Judges filed in and took their chairs on a raised dais in all their somber dignity. The thing was so impressive as to overawe some of the younger attorneys who had never seen the like before, but there were some old fellows present who had been through it all, and Judge Sam Wilson, who always winked with his shoulder when he was about to say some- thing more clever than usual, leaning over toward Hall McAllister, remarked in an undertone just loud enough to be heard by the court and all in the room:. “ ‘Have we Billy Birch’s Minstrels with us? Judge Evans was so impressed with this remark that he induced a speedy adjourn- ment, and the court has never since sat in sank—that is, with the entire court pres- snt. They sometimes get all together for their consultations, of course, but their meetingsare held behind closed doors. Judges Finn, Hunt, Evans, Allen and Ferral manage to keep up appearances very well, looking but little older than when they went in body to get their photo- gra hs taken all those years ago. Judge Sullivan has actually grown younger look- g, having sacrificed the luxuriant side whiskers that he wore when he first ascended the bench. REIS MUST STAND TRIAL. Judge Sanderson Will Not Give Him a ‘Writ of Prohibition. H.¥D. McPike, attorney for Christian Reis, appeared before Judge Sanderson yesterday morning to ask for a writ pro- hibiting the Police Court from trying his client on a Grand Jury presentment. Reis is under trial for renting property for im- moral purposes. - ik The action really involves the question for some on and to some ore it and | | allowed to resume her maiden name.

AGAINST VICE AND CRUELTY WHAT THE NEW SOCIETY HAS| ACCOMPLISHED IN ITS | FIRST YEAR. | THE SECRETARY'S REPORT SHOWS DILIGENCE IN FIGHTING ! CRIME. The first annual report of the Society for | the Suppression of Vice and the Preven- | | tion of Cruelty to Children and Animals | has been issued by Frank J. Kane, secre- | tary of the society. | Beginning its'work immediately after | organization in October, 1893, the society has pursued the course laid down with commendable activity and wjth good re- | sults for its first year, ending December 1, | | 1894, ceive 5 investigated, 155 arrests were made, 143 prosecutions followed and 93 con- victions were secured. The court dismissed 35 cases, by consent 17 were dropped, 3 were dismissed on condition that defendants would leave town, and 73 were remedied without prosecution. The prosecutions were as follows: Selling morphine without a physician’s pre- scription, 31; selling cigareties to_minors, 33; performing indecent exhibitions, 12; manag- ing and counseling the same, 9; spectators at the same, 3; selling liquor without license, 2; | selling liquor to minors, 2; permitting minors to play on stage, 4: cruelty to children, 4; | battery on child, 1; cruelty to animals, 1} inilure to provide, 6; insanity, 1; battery com: mitted while in discharge of duty, 3; having | lottery tickets in possession, 2; having a chil in & room resorted to for immoral purposes, 5; being an inmate of aroom resorted to for im’ moral purposes, 5; permitting a minor to re- main in a place where liquors were sold, with- out an escort, 2; having in possession indecent literature, 11. Some remarkable work was done by the society’s officers in seizing indecent books, pictures, etc., as the following statement will show : Photographs, cabinet, 10,016; photographs, small, 1408; pictures, miscelln.ne%ul, 53.9&)3{ prints, 3074; cards, 3028; French transparent cards, 364; pamphlets, 2999; obscene books, 951; songs and acrostics, 2998; negatives of ind@eent photographs, 24; writings, as letters, etc., 26; obscene molds, 65; lottery tickets, 115; phonograph cylinders, obscene, 4. The penalties imposed reached a total of 510 days’ imprisonment, $665 in fines and $370 in forfeitures. The total amount of $1035 was realized by the city. The society has 164 members and isin a flourishing financial condition. ‘Water-Front Thieve: Three water-front thieves, William Joyce, Daniel Goodwin and Fred Strandt. were arrest- ed last night by Detectives Egan and Silvey and booked at the City Prison on tke charge of grand larceny. On Saturday n‘TM they stolea case wnuin{ harness buckles, axes and hames, and on !nnduy night a case containing belt punches and other articles from Lombard- street whark, In that time 334 complaints were re- | g Claremont, and when he died in July 1893, he left an estate of nearly $20,000 to his four minor daughters, share and share alike, each to be paid her share when she reached the age of 20 years. McKusick placed the property in charge of his friends, Spaulding and Carr, depens- ing upon them to see that his orphaned daughters were fairly dealt with. A month ago Susie Spencer McKusick attained the age speci fied in the will and made application for her share of the prop- erty. It was not forthcoming and she re- tained Attorney W. H. Waste to investi- gate the maiter. This the attorney did, with the result that no accounting or ex- hibit of any kind was found on record, al- though the law requires a report of admin- istrators to be made within six months after their appointment. Messrs. Spauld- ing and Carr were appointed executors in August, 1893, and Miss McKusick now comes forward alleging misa [&:opriation. She says in her petition: ‘‘Athant is in- formed and believes that the funds of said estate have been mismanaged and misused and misappropriated by said executors.” A friend of Mr. Spaulding said yester- day that the reason the affairs of the estate had not been properly attended to was be- as a business office. Subscriptions and ad- vertisements are taken at the Oakland branch on the same basis as at the San Francisco offices. Adjoining the business office is a com- modious space reserved and fitted up for the news staff in Oakland. This end of the office is arranged so that if at any time it becomes necessary a large force of news- gatherers can be accommodated to handle events of whatever magnitude, - Oakland friends are invited to drop in and inspect the new office. Called Her a Murderess. The wife of John M. Breen, the Lorin postmaster who asks for a separation on the ground of her intemperance, has com- menced an action for divorce on_her own account and charges extreme cruelty. In her answer Mrs. Breen admits that on four occasions she drank too much, but says it was all caused by the constant %buf]e and inhuman treatment of her hus- and. She declares that she did not throw dishes at her husband, although at the time their child was run over by the cars Breen called her a murderess and applied many vile epithets to her. Mrs. Breen in _her cross-complaint asks that her husband be madae to pay her ali- mony as his income amounts to $135 per month. She also desires the custody of their minor child and asks that she be allowed to resume her maiden name, which was Mary Agnes Driscoll. His Stealings Left on the Boat. An unknown thief paid a visit to the farmers living in the vicinity of Temescal on Tuesday night and borrowed a wagon and harness from one place, a horse from another and then proceeded to gather up all the chickens in that neighborhood. He arrived at the Oakland mole early enough Wednesday morning and acted so suspiciously that the police were notified but reached the pier after the boat had started for the city. They notified the San Francisco police force, but when the boat reached the other side of the bay he be- came alarmed and left his outfit on board the boat and departed with the crowd. Owners have been found for all the stuff recovered, but the thiefis still at large. Handy With His Club. George Carlin, a blind beggar, who spends most of his time trying to make Judge Woods believe that he is a much- abused man, was in the Police Court yester- day on a charge of hmger{. George had not entirely recovered from his election-day debauch, and was falling over the benches in the Seventh-street sta- tion waiting-rooms when a kindly di posed gentleman tried to assist’ him. George thanked the man by striking him on the head with his club. Bystanders grasped the uplifted stick before the drurken man could use it again, and J. W. Wittle, the man who was struck, had the blind beggar arrested. Oakland’s Insurance Combine. The locai insurance agents of Oakland, representing fifty-four companies, held a secret meeting last night at 958 Broadway. The object of the gathering was to organize a local board of underwriters. A commif tee, consisting of John Martins, Will Fen- ton and Harry, Gordon, was appointed. The object of the association is the keep- ing of rates at a standard figure re, urfi- less of what the underwriters of San Fran- cisco may do. Memorial Services. Memorial services were held by the colored citizens of this city at the A.'M. E. church on Fifteenth street last night in honor of the late Frederick Douglass. ALAMEDA. A noisy crowd gathered at the track yes- terday afternoon to witness the bicycle speed tests. Bicycle riders were as numer- ous as spectators, and all seemed bent on ng their skill on the new track. sen was appointed starter and Fred White acted as timekeeper. : The “ouad” set a quick pace, but Ed- wards, with his 18-pound Rambler, was up against the rear wheel all the way. The time made was 24 1-5 for_the guarter mile, beating the coast record 4-5 of a second. There was some disappointment among the wheelmen and a second trial was agreed upon. In this attempt the timers announced that 23 flat had been made. There was great rejoicing among the wheelmen, and it is believed that the next few days will see the world’s quarter-mile record lowered. The best record is 21 2-5, made on an Eastern straightaway course. The trials will continue to-da; Some of the most expert lers on the coast were present yesterday morning, amonz; them being Walter Foster, Robert Smyth, Thomas H. B. Varney, Charles Bates, A. Nissen, Fred White, Dick Al- wood and Charles Wells. Guardsmen Happy. The members of the military company are in a happy frame of mind.” Informa- tion was received yesterday by Captain Chipman that the Warrants for their pay for time served during the strike last year would arrive to-day and they could go to San Francisco and have them cashed. The amount to be distributed to Company G is about $1500. Speed Track Entertainment. The performances of the Boulevard Min- strelsat Armory Hall to-morrow and Satur- day evenings promises to be well attended. The members have been rehearsing faith- fully, and the boulevard enthusiasts are zealous in their endeavors to make the affair a success. Academy Baseball. The students of Anderson’s Academy have organized a baseball team. The first game will be played on Saturday, when they will cross bats with the Berkeley team. The academy will be represented at the athletic meet on Saturday at the Olym- cause of the illness of Mr. Spaulding, and that when the administrator came into court he would make a satisfactory show- ing. 3 He Fooled the Attorney. The case of Paxton against the Southern Pacific Railroad for refusing to allow stop- over privileges on the Seventh street local train was decided by Judge Allen yester- ay. The decision was not in accordance with the views expressed by the attorney for the prosecution on the day of trial. This was_the case in which Paxton’s at- torney intimated that inasmuch as the Judge had favored the railroad throughout the entire proceeding he might as well ren- der his decision at once as it was well known what it would be. The decision in brief was as follows: “If, in consiaeration of an abatement from the regular established rate, a passenger volun- tarily accepts an excursion or other limited ticket an_entirely different case is pre- sented. Here the regular established fare was tendered and accepted and the ticket issued, which was the only ticket a passen- ger from San Francisco to Alameda via Oakland can obtain; the only ticket pro- vided by the defendant. ‘“This being so the defendant cannot be permitted to say that it was not the ticket which the statute obliged it to provide and issue, and this is more especially true in view of the fact that it contained nothing which in terms denied or assumed to cur- tail the rights conferred.” Judgment was }hztzreiore granted plaintiff for the $200 for- eit. An appeal will be taken by the company. The New ¢Call”” in Oakland. In Presenting(herewim a picture of the CaLy’s new business office, recently fitted up at 908 Broadway in the Blake-Mofiitt building, it may be well to state at the out. set that the CALL does not expect to secure the patronage of every resident of the good city of Oakland, The Carr believes in supporting home industries. Oakland has three daily newspapers of its own—all of them catering to? distinct local wants. B: all means let Oaklanders patronize their local papers. But if they also want to take a-San Francisco daily, then the CarL de- sires to enter a bid for public favor pn equal terms with others. ‘With this brief explanation, attention may be drawn to the Broadway otfice. The entire front of the handsome room at the above number has been secured and fitted u}) in convenient form for the transaction of the CALL’s business. : The space next the entrance is arranged pic grounds. 5 Proposed Library Building. L. B. Brown, son of chairman of the Board of Education C. A. Brown, has sub- mitted a design for the proposed new library building. The estimated cost is $18,000, and shows a handsome structure. The design is on exhibition at the public library. BERKELEY. The winners in the University trial field day, which was held yesterday on the cin- der track, were: 100-yard -dash—Barnes 98, handicap 2 yards, time 102-5 sec.; three-quarter-mile run—Brown '98, scratch, time 3 min. 26 sec.; 220-yard dash—Koch .| 96, scratch, time 24 sec.; 220-yard hurdle race—Chesnut '96, scratch, time 29 3-9 sec. ; high jump—Howell '98, handicap 6 inches, beight 6 ft. 6 in. In the 100-yard dash Barnes easily defeated Scoggins, who was the scratch man. The baseball game between the College and Crescent teams resulted in a victory for the University. The score was 17 to 8. Constable Newell to Resign. .C.J. Newell, who for three years has been constable of West Berkele, C ble of 3 is going to resign his office. He intends to pass into private life about the end of this month. This makes the third official res- ignation in Berkeley within a couple of months. Town Clerk Woodsum went out in order to_take a_position under County Clerk Jordan. Woodsum’s vacant posi- tion was filled by C. 8. Preble, who resigned his position as president of the Trustees for the purpose. A Child Scalded. A child was scalded at the residence of its father, G. C.

HIS APPEARANCE IN THE OAKLAND POLITICAL FIELD BRINGS TURMOIL WITH IT. - THE LIE- ALREADY PASSED. THE PoLICY OF THE MAYOR-ELECT As YET A MATTER OF CON- JECTURE. With the advent of J. M. Bassett, Hunt- ington’s “Old Pard,’ into the Council after the first Monday in April, Oakland expects to see the livliest political times it has ever known. The ball is already rolling, and one au- thority has given “Old Pard” the lie direct. In an interview about the water front, of which part of Oakland Bassett made a life study, that gentleman used the following language: I spent six months lookin; Oakland’s water front, an the railroad company hazy. history of the matter. I took it to Frank Leach, the editor of the Enquirer, and after he had read it over he said he had never heard anything about the ques- tion of the title of the water front before, and that it would make a sensatlon, and he agreed to publish it entire the following day. Ire- quested that the article be kept in the Enquirer office, and was assured that it would be. The next day I went to the office and the city editor explained that they could not publish the mat- ter. I asked for the copy and was told that Leach had it, Several days later Leach sent it to my house. In the meantime Harvey Brown, the railroad attorney, toid me that I could not et the article published in Oskland. He said he had read it over at the company’s office at Fourth and Townsend stireets. A few hours later in the day I asked Frank Moffitt, editor of the Times, if he wanted to publish the matter, and he said no; that he had read it at Fourth lnn;‘i Townsend streets, and didn’t want to pub- ish it. The publication of the foregoing lan- guage is what has brought a house down up the records on found the title of Iwrote the whole J. M. Bassett. [From @ photograph.] on Mr. Bassett’s head. Mr. Leach is mad all over about it and said yesterday. A large portion of the aboveis a tissue of falsehoods. The story that the Enquirer showed the article to Harvey Brown or any other rail- road man, is simply & lie. Mr. Bassett was told that the "Enquirer proposed to write up the water front history itself and preferred to do it in its own way. The new Councilman-at-large gives out the impression that the Enquirer did not rint the story, but in a speech which giaynr-clcct Davie delivered February 23, 1893, the latter said, after telling Bassett's sto “l:fhree or four days afterward there ap- peared in the Enquirer our manuscript, as their own production, butchered and gar- bled to suit the taste of the paper. How did Leach get it? Had he time in a few days to get these facts? How did he get it? He got it in an indecent way. He did what no decent man would do. I know how he got it. He co‘iim' my manuscript. He chopped out all objectionable features in my manuscript and published it as his own.” Editor Leach then follows up his defense in this way: So, two years ago, the story was that the En- quirer stole the narrative from Bassett and published it, while now the charge seems to be that the Enquirer refused to publish it. The two versions appear to contradict one another. As a matter of iact, the whole thing as relat- ed by Bassett is, as before stated, a tissue of falsehoods. The truth is that on the 27th of November and the 8th of December, 1891, the Engquirer printed two long articles, each filling & page, in which the history of the water front ‘wasgiven in far greater detail than Davie gave it in the article he offered the Enquirer about the same time. A story is afloat to the effect that Mayor- elect Davie will not recognize the late charter amendment election, by which the Board of Public Works was voted out of office and its power given to a new board, composed of the Mayor, City Attorney and City Engineer. “Such a thing is not hkely,” said an Oakland politician yesterday. ‘“One of the objections to the amendments was that the change contemplated would put too much power in the hands of the Mayor in the way of appointments and city affairs. ‘When Pardee engineered those amend- ments he had Nelson in view as his succes- sor and not Davie, and he fixed the matter so that Mr. Nelson would have almost autocratic powers. You don’t suppose for an instant that Davie would throw this power to the wind. With things in the old way he would have on%y the agpointmem ot one menber. Two of the present board would con- tinue to hold and the Mayor would find himself in a beautiful minority. Under the new system he can reign almost su- reme, and, as he has the entire Street, E‘ire and Police departments under his charge, he would find no trouble in making room for his friends.” Mr. Heitman is still in a quandary. He secured the most votes-for Councilman-at- large, but another man claims the office because Heitman is from the same ward as “0ld Pard”’ Bassett, also elected as Coun- cilman-at-large. In speaking of the muddle yesterday City Attorney Johnson expressed the opinion that Heitman was eligible. He said: “I have not looked into the matter very closely as yet, but my impression is that the four men having the highest number of votes are the men elected. The Council does not know. where the candidates reside. They must canvass the vote. It will de volve then \lgmn the person who is not sat- isfied with the seating of Mr. Heitman to make a contest, and I presume he would have to do that in the courts. To assume that Mr. Heitman is not entitled to his seat would be mimimngf that a man could not run independently for the office.” There is another complication over the office of School Director in the Sixth Ward, where D. R. Ford secured the necessary votes to elect. It is now said that Mr. Ford is not the head of a family, and on this point the charter says: ‘“No person shall be eligible to the office of School Director nnfess he is, at the time of his | election, the head of a family.” Dr. Myra Knox expresses herself as street and existed on a ‘Bm-noe sent to him by some relatives from Washington, D. C. An autopsy showed that he died from heart fajlure, ;) leased with the election to the Oakland anrd of Education. She will be the first woman to serve in an official capacity in Oakland. She said yesterday: “I feel that there is a great opportunity for women in school matters, and I propose dodo all T carf to improve our school system.” | RUINING THEIR BUSINESS. | Florists Protest Against the Street | Flower Peddlers. | The California Florists and Growers As- | sociation, represented byjcounsel, appeared before the License and Order Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday to pro- test against the granting of free or nominal licenses to street peddlers. A petition was presented stating that the street peddlers buy their flowers from Chinese and by reason of having neither rent nor help to pay are able to undersell regular florists and are seriously hamper- ing their business. The petition further stated that the members of the association Snv large rents, have many thousands of | ollars invested and should be protected | as taxpayers and citizens, Francis A. Russell appeared for the as- sociation and asked that the license for street peddling be fixed ai $100 per quarter. He claimed that it was an outrage to per- mit street-corner peddlers, who in many instances through misrepresentation had been able to get free licenses, to ruin the business of the regular florists who have thousands of dollars invested in their hot- houses and nurseries. He said that Chi- nese grown flowers were sold by the ped- dlers, and that owing to the low price asked for their products the Celestials | were gradually rTuining the business of the legitimate growers. Several florists testified that their busi- ness had fallen off greatly owing to the | competition of the peddlers, and that un- less they were given some relief they would have to go out of business. | The hearing of the case was continued | until next Wednesday, when the peddlers | will be heard. WILLIAMS ACCUSES ASHE. MRS. TERRY’'S NEW GUARDIAN | SAYS THAT SOME OF HER PROPERTY IS MISSING. HeE Has DEMANDED ANOTHER AccounTinG FrRoM His PRE- DECESSOR. The bitter feeling between Thomas H. Williams and R. Porter Ashe, which has | been shown more than once in the fight | over the guardianship of Mrs, Sarah Althea Terry, has not abated, even though the | account of Ashe as guardian has been sat- ‘ isfactorily settled. There was filed in Judge Slack’s court yesterday a petition from Williams, who | succeeded Ashe as guardian of Mrs. Terry, | asking that certain articles which Ashe is | charged with concealing for his own benefit | be accounted for. The articles include | household furnitare, kitchen utensils. sil- verware, dress goods and jewelry, all of which is represented as having belonged to Mrs. Terry and as having disappeared un- | der the management of her estate by Ashe. Porter Ashe’s final account as guardian | of the estate of Mrs. Terry was filed in | Judge SI ago, and it | was then expected that ¥ e vigorous opposition. the case, however, Such was not and the account was | settled by the court after Ashe had testified | as to all the details connected with it. It | is now asserted that the items named in Williams’ petition were not mentioned in | Ashe’s account, and as a matter of fact | some of them were not, but the retiring | guardian made his accounting as satisfac- | tory to the court, and there was no objec- | tion to his statement. Judge Slack has not acted upon the | petition of Williams as yet. The fact that | Ashe’s statement was_satisfactory would argue that his connection with the estate was ended, and with credit to himself. et e Fractured Her Hip Bone. Mrs. F. H. Pohlman of Coulterville, Mariposa County, came to the city yesterday to attend to some business matters. Last night she was walking along Market street, and when oppo- | site Grant avenue she slipped and fell heavily | to the ground. She was taken to the Receiving | & Hospital, where it was found that her right hip bone was broken. The accident is all the more unfortunate, as her right leg was ampu- tated some vears ago and she has been using | &n artificial limb. | S Z /LN Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly uss£ The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with | less expenditure, by more promptly | adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest | the value to health of the pure liquid | laxative principles embraced in the | remedy, Syrup of Figs. | Its excellence is due to its presenting | in the form most acceptable and pleas- | ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly | beneficial properties of a perfect lax. ative; effectually cleansing the system dispelling colds, headaches and fevers ans permanently curing constipation. | It has given satisfaction to millions and | met with the approval of the medical | profession because it acts on the Kid- | neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- | ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.
