15 THE SAN Ed FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FERRUARY 26, 1904. ADVERTISEMENTS. CAME NEAR DYING From an Awful Skin Humour, Scratched Till Blood Ran. Wasted to Skeleton. CURED BY CUTICURA One Application Soothed Him to Sleep. Cure Speedy and Permanent. “When my little boy was about three months old his head broke out with & | rash. which was very itchy and ran con- sidersble watery fluid. We tried every- thing we could, but he got worse all the time till it spread to his arms, legs, and then to his entire body. and he got so bad thet be came near dying. The rash wouid itch so that he would scratch till the blood ran, spd a thin yellowish staff would be all over his pillow in the morn- ing. I had to put mitteus on his bands to keep bim from tearing his skin around his wrists. He got so week and run down that he took fainting spells like ‘we would think him dying. He was al- most & skeleton and his little hands were thin like claws. ““He was bad about eight months whea we tried Cuticurs Remedies. I bad not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for & long time. He had got so that he just siept in our arms all the time. I washed him with Cuticura Sosp and put on one application of Cuticurs Ointment and he was so soothed that I put him in the cradle. You don't know how glad I feit when he felt better. Ittook one box of Cuticura Ofntment, pretty near one cake of Cuti- cura Soap, and about half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, to care. I think our little boy would have died only for the Cuticors Remedies, and I shall al- ways remain a firm friend of them.” Mgs. M. C. MAITLAND, JASPER, ONTARIO No return in 14 years. Mrs. Maitland writes, under date of Feb. 24, 1903, that the cure is permanent. “It affords me much pleasure to in- form you that it is fourteen years since my boy was cured of the terrible skin disease from which he suffered. He has been permanently cured and is hearty and strong.” AUCTION ANTIQUE RUGS PERSIAN To-Day and To-Morrow AT 230 P. M.

J. 1. Stephen, E. Mag- nus and J. Von Werthern NO FRICTION SAYS WARD President of Department De- nies That Action Was Due to Haste in Appointments e — A number of resignations and new appointments in the Health Depart-! ment yesterday gave rise to the report that there had been an upset as a had been too hasty in some of its acts at the begining.of the year. This, how- ever, was denied by Dr. James W. Ward, president of the board, as well as by the doctors concerned. | At its meeting yesterday the Board of Health accepted the resignations of | Dr. J. 1. Stephen, assistant chief sur- | geon at the Emergency Hospital, who has been acting in place of Chief Sur- geon Brackett during his absence in| the East; D » von Werthern, assist- ant emerge surgeon; Dr. M. E.| Magnus, tant inspecting physician, | and C. Thompson, interne at the City and County Hospital. | Dr. Ward said last evening that Dr. Stephens’ resignation was easily ex- plained. He had been appointed tem- | porarily to take charge or DLi. prucs- ett’s work while the latter was stud ing sanitary methods in Eastern citie and now that Brackett had returned. | Stephens’ services were no longer re- quired. Hence his resignation was vol untary and in line with his understand- ing at the time of his appointment. Dr. von Werthern, it was explained, resigned to attend to his private prac- tice, finding that he had not time for | this and the city work as well. 1 “The case of Dr. Magnus,” said | Ward, “was a mistake on our part. | We were led to believe that he was a | practicing ph whereas he has | never been 1 to practice. He was appointed a week ago, and imme- | diately afterward we learned that he | had no license. A day or two later he | arrested at the instance of the | State Board of Medical Examiners. We at once called for his resignation. There was no politics in his apoint- ment, nor was there any in his arrest. This action by the State board was taken in the enforcement of rules which I cordially approve. Magnus resigned ostensibly because he has not heen in| practice during the last year; in fact | he has never been in practice, and his appointment was an error due to mis- information. Of course we could not keep him We are getting the Health Depart- ment in fine shape,” continued Dr. Ward. “The weakest division of our ablishment has been the food in- | spection department, but we are mak. ing it the strongest. This is one the most important matters for people of the city and thé improve- | ment will benefit all class i The board appointed Dr. C. F. Paw- | licki surgeon at the Emergency Hospi- | tal: Dr. W. E. Buell, emergency su geon to succeed Dr. Painter, resigned: | Dr. 0. S. Kusick, emergency surgeon | vice Dr. von Werthern, and Dr. J. B.

Mr. Grunsky was born in San Joa- quin_County in 1855, and educated at the 8tockton High School and later at the Polytechnic' Institute at Stuttgart, Germany. In 1878 he entered the State Engineer’s office, remaining there for nine years and becoming phief assist- . creditable alike to the city and the ap- the uncompleted | He | construction, but would give his whole | world will not be shocked by the fright- | INION LEAGUE 10 THE FRONT Club Proposes a Love Feast on Occasion of Republican State Committee Meeting R R MAPLE ROOM IS ENGAGED Indications That Organiza-| tion Will Lease Premises Occupied by Pacific-Union | The Republican State Central Com- mittee will meet in this city on Satur-| day, March 12, at 2 p. m. It is ex-| pected that a large number of com- | mittee members from interior coun- | ties will be in San Francisco on that | to show you what these piancs really are. occasion, and ng doubt active Repub- | licans other than those inimediately connected with the governing body of | the party will join the throng. The Union League Club has engaged the| Maple room of the Palace Hotel for I the evening of March 12, and a Republican dinner will be given i {then and there under the aus-| pices of the league. Well-known Republicans of Los Angeles, Oak- land, San Jose, Stockton, Sacra-| Napa, Vallejo and Eureka have already indicated a de-| sire to bk present at the dinner. The| banquet will not be limited to the mem- | bership of the league, as each mem-| ber will be entitled to invite resldent or non-resident Republicans who l not belong to the club. It seems to be very nearly settled that the Union, League will lease the house now occupied by the Pacific-| Union Club and move in early next winter. .The committee recently ap- pointed by the league has gone over the ground carefully with Mr. Burbank, | the owner of the premises, northwest | | corner of Post and Stockton streets. M H. de Young is the leading represénta- tive of the league in the negotiations, | and it is reported that he has l\h(dlnr‘!l‘ concessions from the owner of the| building which will justify the club in taking a lease of the house. There will be a general meeting mento, Santa Ros: of tee will present a report of the con ferences with Mr. Burbank. The abil ity of the Union League to enlarge it | membership to 1000 by the first of next | | December is not doubted. It is the| impression that the dues must be rais- ed to $5 a month, but the increase may | apply only to city members or others | in_proximity to San Francisco. Jo 38 lated that the new home is ca | of the Pacific-Union Club will be ready for occupancy by the first of next November. Two months later the Union League could probably move to the premises vacated by the Pacific- | { Union. The league, however, must see | its way clear to pay $16,000 per annum for ‘rent and also expend a good round ! | sum of money for furniture and gen- eral equipment of the house. { —_— e —— Burnett's Extract of Vanilla imparts a superfor delicacy of flavor, try it, use it. * o ) { ant.
