il | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1904. ADVERTISEMENTS. 4] \ = S Operations Avoided Hospitals in our great cities are sad places to visit. Threefourths of the patients lying on those snow-white beds a:el women and girls. Why should this be the case? Because they have neglected themselves. Every one of these patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearingdown feeling, pain at the left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back. All of these things are indications of an unhealthy condition of the ovaries or womb. What a terrifying thought ! These poor souls are lying there on those hospital beds awaiting a fearful operation. Do not drag along at home or in your place of employment until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit toan examination and possible operation. Build up the female system, cure the derangements which have signified themselves by danger signals, and remember that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has saved thousands of women from the hospital. Read the letters here published with the full consent of the writers, and see how they escaped the knife by a faithful reliance on Mrs. Pinkham'’s advice and the consistent treatment of READ THE FOLLOWING LETTERS: “T was taken sick very suddenly July 13th with severe cramps, or pains. I summoned a doctor and was in bed a week lying on my back all the time. The pains left me very sore. In a few weeks I was feeling better but was soon taken sick again with those pains and had another doctor. This one said I had neuralgia pains of the stomach and ovaries. He injected mor- phine and eased me again, but I remained sore and weak from the pains and continued to flow for one month and three days without stopping for one day. “The doctors wanted to scrape the womb, saying the lining was inflamed. I had a pain at times in my right ovary and felt weak nearly all the time. Am only twenty years old, never was sick until this sickness in July. Menses never lasted more than four days and never an ache or a pain. “] began the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and soon was feeling better. I am now well and strong again. Your medicine has relieved me of the pain in my side and stopped my fiowing which the “I suffered with female trouble for over eight years, had womb trouble and painful menstruation. Have been under the care of doctors who said I wouég_have to submit to an operation before I could be cured. I suffered everything. “One day I picked up a paper and noticed your advertisement and a testimonial from a friend I knew, stating your medicine had cured her so I thought I would try it. I told my husband I would give up all doctors and try your medicine. I began using fi)ur medicine just two months ago and cannot say enough on its praise. Menstruation comes freely now without pain. : “Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has brought health, joy and happiness to me. My advice to all suffering women is to try your Vegetable Compound.” — Mgs.

The board reiterated its recommen- dation that the standard of butter fat in milk be placed at 3.5 per cent and that the limitation of bacteria in milk be fixed at centimeter. The board adopted rules and regu- ons for the care of dairies, cows, milk, milkers, and they were for- warded to the Supervisors to be em- bodied in an ordinance for the better protection of the milk supply. Action was taken on the reports of inspectors that many of the dairies are in an un- sanitary condition and should be re- quired to have a properly constructed whooping cough, 2 milkshed, cement floors and gutters, The regulation will be made to apply to dairies outside the city by quaran- that comes from dairies up to the reugirements in our local dairies. Health Officer Ragan filed a report to the effect that the complaint relat- ing to the conduct of foundling asy- lums and maternity homes does not apply to the regularly incorporated institutions, but does apply to a large number of private homes for the care of children. Ragan says he will re- quire such homes to obtain permits under an existing ordinance regulat- tining milk ing them. Drs. Harvey and Hughes ‘were appointed a committee to act with Ragan and M. J. White in in- specting the institutions, with a view to decreasing infant mortality. The board received a resolution that it is the sense of the State Board of Health and United States Marine Hos- pital Service that the monthly health bulletin be published. Drs. Poheim and Stinson were appointed a com- mittee to investigate the feasibility of resuming publication of the bulletin. Drs. Barkan, Somers and Rigdon were added to the staff of the City Hospital.

The Supervisors' Street Committee vesterday denied the application of the Independent Messenger Sgrvice for permission to lay underground wires in several districts. Supervisors | 0'Connor and Braunhart voted in fa- | vor of the denial and Rock voted | against it. The California Messenger | | Service opposed the granting of the | permit on the ground that a rival 1 \pany would injure its business. | The committee took the view that ap- | | plication should be made for a fran- | chise so that the award may be made | to the highest bidder. & eral other | Company be compelled to remove un- ightly and unused poles was filed, the Department of Electr: ported that the comp to remove the poles.

In many Instances imitations of a food product have injured the sale of the genuine article. A notable exception is that of Lea and Perrin’s original Worcestershire Sauce. Those who have ever used the genuine cannot be misled by any of the many imitations on the market. Tea and Perrin's Worcestershire has n in demand at every high-class hotel and restaurant in Europe and America for more than sixty years, The vast demand for this condiment has led other makers to place inferior articles on the market, labeled “‘Worcestershire Sauce.”” Many o of these sauces have been found prejudiclal t. the health of the consumer. | Herrin, president; It is claimed, and in the opinion of experts, Justiy, that Lea and Perrin's Sauce aids diges. tion and helps the hearty diner to assimilate his meal. It is to be found on every dining car, steam- ship table and trans-Atlantic liner in 'service. This fs an indisputable argument as to its popular favor. +_—l—“+ heretoforle incompetently outlined and a necessity existed for an earnest cru- sade against adulterated food of all classes.

NGERS CLAIM THEY WERE BADLY TREATED Bring Suit Against the Owners of the Steamship Valencia for Alleged Breach of Contract. Complaints were filed yesterday by William Arnick, James D. Roe, W. H. Hay D. F. McDaniel, Charles A. Didie, J. H. Henderson and J. Peters against the Pacific Steam Whaling { Company for total damages of $2032. The plaintiffs claim that on May 26, | 1900, they bought second-class trans- portation from this city to Nome, Alaska, and that they were told by the { company that they would be given the same food as the first-class passengers and allowed comfortable berths. these accommodations they paid $75 each. They now claim that as soon as the steamship Valencia, upon which they took passage. put to sea they were ‘,pla(‘cd in steerage quarters and given | | food of the vilest quality and very dif- | ferent from that served the other pas- sengers. Furthermore, they say that before they left this cit¥ they bought | many provisions for their sustenance when they arrived in the frozen coun- try, but that on the vessel's arrival there they were not given their prop- erty. The belongings detained included tents and as there were no available quarters the plaintiffs were obliged to sleep out of doors and some of them incurred severe illness, —————— | MAY PERMIT UNION SQUARE . | PARK TO BE ILLUMINATED | City Attorney Long Says Commission- ers Have Power te Grant Privi- lege During Conclave. City Attorney Long advised the Mayor yesterday that the Park Com- missioners have power under the | | charter to grant the use of Union | Square Park for the purpose of a pub- lic illumination during the Knights Templar Conclave. The plans and the general scheme of illumination are to be approved and ifstalled under the supervisioni and to the entire satis- faction of the Park Commissioners. The opinion continues: 1 find nothing in the charter which would prevent the Board of Park Commissioners from granting the request, but, on the con- trary, find that under section 6 of sarticle 14 of the charter, it has the power to permit the use of portions of parks or squares for the purpose of conducting fairs or expositions when the same would not interfere with the use by the public; such permission being grant- ed, such fairs or expositions must be of na- tional, State or municipal importance. I take it_that the coming conclave of the Knights Templar is one of. “‘municipal,”” if not of national importance, % 1t appearing that the illuminations of Union Square would not interfere with its enjoy- ment by the public, but, on the contrary, would heighten such enjoyment, and it al&o appearing that the Board of Park Commis- and control of such power and {llumination, I am satisfled that it would be permissible to grant the uee of Union Square Park for the purpose suggested. —_————— Appoints Street Inspector. The Board of Works yesterday ap- pointed J. J. Sweeney to be Inspector of Street and Sewer Work in the Bu- reatr of Engineering at a salary of $4 per day when employed. The board rescinded its resolution or- dering change of grades on J street, Fifth and Sixth avenues. The board ordered grades to be changed on Greenwich street, between Hyde and Larkin. —————————— ‘Wants Sister-in-Law Removed. Mrs. Mary Price, sister of the late Henry Lee Dwyer, yesterday applied to the Superior Court for a revocation of the letters of administration upon the estate of Dwyer granted to Louise Bigler, sister of Nellie Dwyer, widow of the deceased. She says that it is the intention of the administratrix to convert Dwyer's $2500 estate to her own use and benefit. City Uses Much Stationery.

Aikyo, a Merchant From Japan —_——— The missing witness wanted by the police to make out a case against Wil- liam B. Kennedy alias Richard Jack- son alias “Yellow,” for the murder of Policeman Eugene C. Robinson at Six- teenth and Valencia streets on the | morning of January 21, 1902, has been found. He is George R. Aikyo. a Jap- anese, who has been absent from the city ever since the murder and who returned three days ago. Shortly before the shooting of Rob- inson, Aikyo was held up by Woods, Kauffman, Coulter, Henderson, Ken- nedy and Goucher at Eighteenth and Valencia streets, on their return from attempting to break into the superin- tendent’s office at Cypress Lawn Cem- etery. Henderson's testimony was that Kennedy was the one who held up Aikyo and fired a shot at him as he ran away shouting for help. Aikyo's cries for help brought Robinson upon the scene. Aikyo is now a prominent merchant in Tokio, Japan, and is here on his way to the St. Louis Exposition as a com- missioner. He is living at 806 Stockton street, and was brought from there to the City Prison by Detective Wren yesterday. He at once identified Ken- nedy and will give his testimony at the MAYOR WILL AGAIN VETO ROCK CRUSHING BILLS Sees No Reason to Recede From His Former Disapproval of Ordinances Extending Prohibitory Limits. Mayor Schmitz will to-day again send messages to the Board of Super- visors vetoing the two ordinances ex- tending the limits within which it is prohibited to crush or quarry rock. The Mayor stated yesterday that he saw no reason to change his former opinion that the ordinances were intended to harass and persecute Gray Brothers, who had established a quarry on Thir- tieth street, near Castro. The Mayor believes that his vetols will be sustained by the votes of the five Supervisors who stood by him in the former vetoes. As it requires four- teen votes to override the Mayor’s veto fhere will be but thirteen Supervisors to vote that the ordinances become laws notwithstanding the vetoes. ——————— ‘Wants June Boxing Permit. The Pacific Athletic Club, by James Neil president, petitioned the Super- visors yesterday for a permit to con- duct a professional boxing contest at Woodward’s Pavilion in Jure. & : preliminary hearing Judge Fritz on Monday. Kennedy was convicted of murder in the second degree, but was granted a new trial on appeal to the Supreme Court, which held that he could not be convicted on the uncorroborated tes- timony of an accomplice. As the Dis- trict Attorney had no further evidence to offer Kennedy was discharged by Judge Cook on April 2. Since then he has been released three times on writs of habeas corpus, and rearrested each time. <+ before Police ADVERTISEMENTS. be arran; for those who cannot The 'EDWARD AUCTION o PIANOS - EDWARD S.
