Florida Mirror: "Six.box cars, the tender

up the material for Shoal river piers, and are
now hauling it across the country to that
stream, so that there will be no delay in wait

only require a w eek at each bridge to rake it
after the train arrives and delivers the iron. To
show their determination to avoid all delays,
it is only necessary to add that Putnam & To

No Decision \ et— ken ate Proceedings
The Star Route Trials—Tbe
Whisky Ring Inquiry.
Washington, Jane 2 —lmmediately after
reading the journal the House resumed
consideration of the Alabama contested
election case of Lowe vs. Wheeler.
Mr. Thompson, of lowa, submitted an ar
gument In favor of the claims of the con
testant, and Incidentally denied the state
ment made by Mr. Wheeler last evening to
the effect that he had not been fairly treated
by the Committee on Elections.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, spoke In advocacy of
the right of the sitting member to retain his
seat, and was followed by Mr. Jones, of
Texas, In favor of the contestant.
Mr. Atherton, of Ohio, consumed his hour
in reading the report of the minority, only
calling attention to the fact that but three
Republican members were paying the slight
est attention, and criticising such inatten
tion on the part of the judges who were to
decide the case. It had been charged that
there was an arrangement between certain
gentlemen on the other side (alluding to the
Greenbackers) and the Republican party.
Mr. Jones, of Texas—l pronounce the
charge to be false.
Mr. Atherton—Very well. I will show
you that a Republcan paper ltslf charges
It. ll* then quoted from the Washington
Reptiblicaxi to the effect that the Greenback
ers had been steadfast and true to the Re
publicans In the recent election cases, and
'hat the latter were bound in honor to see
justice done to Mr. Luwe.
Several Republicans—That’s it, justice ?
Mr. Atherton replied that soon It would
be found what justice meant in the R publi
can ranks. There were now 126 Republicans
In the chamber, but when the matter came
to a vote 150 would come without knowing
anvthing about tbe case, raise tbe axe and
take the head off the sitting member.
Mr. Horr, of Michigan, entered Into an
Ironical eulogy upon the great intellectual
energy and statesmanship shown by tbe
Democrats during tbe recent, filibustering
movement. He characterized Mr. Randall,
of Pennsylvania, *s tbe Napoleon cf the
conti st, Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, as Its
Marshal Ney, and Mr. SprtDger, of Illinois,
as Its Joan of Arc (laughter), and he ridi
culed tbe courageous manner In wLlch they
came out to make mo’lons to adjourn over.
The latter gentleman had not entered into
the contest until after the Waterloo,
and until Napoleon was on his
wav to St. Helena. Then passing In review
the Chalmers case, and referring to the
statement that be was coming over to tbe
Republican party, he declared that that
p arty had stooa a good deal from the Demo
crats, but that they could no' pass Cbalmers
off on It. He belonged to the Democratic
party by nature.
Mr. Manning, of Mississippi—Will the
gentleman come down to Mississippi this
fall *nd make that speech and help me beat
him?
Mr. Horr—Ye?, and If I can’t do as good
to you as to Chalmers, then I give it up.
No'hlng wouM please me better than to
compare him to the Siamese twins. [Laugh
ter |
Mr. Atherton—Will you keep Secretary
Chandler from helping to elect him accord
ing to contract?
Mr. Horr—l don’t believe It. It is not
true, and, if it is, Chandler is In a low busi
ness.
Mr. Manning—That he Is.
Mr. Horr then passed Into a discussion of
the Mackey-Dlbble case, and also made
ome allu-lon to the mode of elections In
Sou'h Carolina, which broueht Mr. Evlns to
his feet with the assertion that South Caro
”-■> was not ashamed of anything 6he ever
did.
.wr Herr replied that he was not foolish
enough to question that she would be
What would mantle other people’s cheeks
with shame, her people rolled as a sweet
morsel under their tongues. Mr. Horr, In
conclusion, protested against the decision
of election cases upon technical quirk ß ,
and declared that he would vote for Lowe,
al’hough to the sins of the Democrats he
added the foolishness of the Greeubacker.
Pending further discussion Mr. Cannon,
of Illinois, reported from the Committee on
Appropriations the legislative, judicial and
ix-cuMve appropriation bill ('he Items of
which have already been published) and It
was referred to the committee of the whole.
Mr. Hl c cock, from the same committee,
reported back the general deficiency bill,
and It received similar reference.
The election case then went over till to
morrow, when the previous question will be
called early in tbe session, and the House,
at 4:25 adjourned uitll to morrow.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Ia the Senate, a' the hour of assembling
Acting Secretary Francis E. Shober read a
note from the President pro tem., as fol
lows: “As I shall be absent from tbe open
ing of tbe session this morning, under the
provisions of rule four, I name Hon. John
J. Ingalls, Senator from theßtateof Kansae,
to perform the duties of the Chair until ad
journment to day.”
Mr. Vest made a point that the President
pro tem. had not the power to delegate a
Senator to take the place, which, under the
circumstances, could only be filled by an
election by the Benate.
Mr. Hoar suggested that Mr. Ingalls be
declared presiding officer for the day. He
desired to avoid protrsc ing the discussion
at this time. His own opinion was that the
ac'ionof the Pre-ident of the Senate, In
designating the member to take his place,
was not more binding upon the chamber
than would be the designation by that offi
cer of a ruling by himself upon a parllamen
ary question.
A long and at times animated debate fol
lowed, participated In by nearly every Sena
tor presen’, In the course of which several
motions were made to adjourn.
Finally Mr. Sherman, after an allusion to
the apparent, Indisposition of the Bsnate to
commit Itself by positive action upon the
Important question which had been precipi
tated upon it, moved an adjournment, which
was agreed to unanimously. Tbe S.nate
accordingly adjourned until Monday.
THE WHISKY RING INQUIRY.
The Investigation of the so called whisky
ring was resumed this morning. Before tbe
examination was commenced, and while
watting for a quorum, Colonel Whirton,
attorney for the distillers, said to Chairman
WiDdom that he thought the prosecuting
witness ought to be put on the 6tand.first.
in order that those who were charged with
laving resorted to Illegitimate means to in
fluence legislation might know tbe case
against them.
Mr. Windom replied that there was no
prosecuting witne**, that his Informant had
learned of money being raised by distillers,
and as they had legislation pending he sup
oosed It might be intended for that. The
Chairman added also that be had knowledge
of these facts, and had some suspicion, bu'
he said that in moving the Investigation be
distinctly s'ated that he had no proof of the
charges. He said, however, that his ln
'ormaDt would be put on the stand before
the close of the Investigation.
J. M. Atherton was recalled and still de
clined to give the names of the persons who
asked him for employment In connection
with legislation. He said tha 1
only one positively asked employ
ment, but another suggested that
be would like such employment.
Nothing Improper occurred In the conver
sation. The parties who spoke to him were
both lawyers. They did not mention any
Congressman or claim any Influence or m&k
anv threat.
Mr. Shagg, distiller, of Louisville, said
two persona, both lawyers, approached him
with the view of obtaining employment, bu
heir services were declined. They did not
claim any Influence or mention any Con
gressman. He declined to tell their names as
It might subject thepartiesto an unpleas
ant notoriety. They had neither said nor
done anything wrong, and he could not see
any good to come from mentioning their
names.
Colonel Wharton, attorney for the distil
lers, was next sworn. He also said two per
sons, both lawyers, had approached him
with the request for employment, which he
refused. Both men were personal friends of
his, and would not hesitate to talk to him
freely about anything. They did not claim
any Influence, and did not mention atiy
Congressmen or government officials. There
was nothing Improper In their offer, and he
preferred not to make their names public.
All the witnesses swore that no newspaper
men had ever approached them, directly or
Indirectly, for employment or compensation;
that no member of Congress had ever Inti
mated a desire for compensation, and that
the distillers had not made any combination
with other institutions, either political or
otherwise, with the view of passing their
bill. Although witness swore that he had

THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.
Ia the star route cases to-day Col. Blisa,
SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1882.
of counsel for the government, made the
opening argument, explaining the case to
the jury.
Tne defense were ready with objections
to parts of Bliss’ statement of the case as
being In tbe nature of Improper Introduc
tion of evidence, and at one time a lively
wrangle had gotten well under way,
when the court interposed abruptly.
Apologies followed for counsel on
both sides and from the Judge on the
bench, and Colonel Bliss resumed his
speech. He consumed the entire day, and
at the conclusion the court adjourned until
Monday. Colonel Bliss concluded his
analysis of figures, which he presented from
the accounts of the depar’ment, with the
statement that one year of Brady’s manage
ment cost $7,264,832. The contracts to be
awarded July 31 of this year will only
cost $4,468,755. The coet per mile
had been reduced from sl6 90
under Brady to $8 62, little more than one
half the cost under Elmer’s management,
and this because there are now no favored
contractors. Mr. Wilson objected to allowing
Bliss to make a comparison between con
tracts let four vears ago and those let now,
which have not been and may not be per
formed. Besides, the conditions were
greatly changed. But the court overruled
the objection.

CHARLESTON NOTES.
Tbe State Supervisor of Registration
Again Arrested.
Charleston, June 2 —The Republicans
here are still on the war path, the recent
revolutionary act of Congress In unseatieg
the Representative from this district having
evidently stiffened their backbone.
This morning the State Supervisor of Re
gistration was again arrested on the
charge of ejecting a colored deputy mar
shal from the registration precinct, and
the Federal officials threaten to ar
rest him every time the offense Is repeat
ed, although ample bond has already been
given bv the arrested official to secure h!s
presence to answer to the charge. As it Is
not contended that any fraud is sought
to be perpetrated by the Supervisor,
whose actions are under the consiant sur
veillance of a Republican supervision, this
ac’fon of the Federal officials Is difficult to
account for. It seems to be their purpose
to Interfere with and stop the registration of
voters—a game that will hardly succeed, and
that will accomplish nothing for the Radi
cals even In the event of Its success.
LABOR AND CAPITAL.
The Situation at tbe North but Little

Pittsburg, and that the employes In euch of
the kindred trades as continue to work will

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
LIMITING SAVANNAH HARBOR.
Florida Room at Mount Vernon —
Blount on Stephen*—Cotton Expo
sition Report—Arthur and the
Boise*.
Washington, June I.— The lady regents of
the Mount Vernon Association, who have been
in annual session at Mount Vernon for several
days, to day adjourned. The regent for Florida
iS Mrs.. Yulee. At her request the association
has set aside one of the rooms in the old Wash
ington residence to be known as the “Florida
Room.” This apartment is in the third story
of the mansion. It was a favorite resort of
Washington when he wanted to get a view of
the Potomac downwards. With a glass there is
to be obtained a sweep of thirty or forty miles
down the river. It overlooks Fort Washington
on the opposite side of the river.
Mrs. Yulee has assured the other ladies
of the association that she will have no diffi
culty in receiving appropriate furniture for the
“Florida Room ” Bhe intends to collect the
furniture in Florida, and will not put in the
room a piece of furniture cf less antiquity
than one hundred years.
LIGHTING SAVANNAH HARBOR.
I was talking with Captain Dewey, Secretary
of the Lighthouse Board, in regard to the
expenditure of the S6O OCO made last year far
properly lighting Savannah harbor The work
that is already under progress will be supple
mented by other, as the Light House
Board is able to. The difficulty is about
securing the title to the land where the light
houses are to be erected. The chain of lights
wilt be twelve in number. Until the people on
whose land the lights are to be put can be rea
sonable, that chain will not be completed.
Here is an instance; The owner of Elba Island
will not allow the two lighthouses which it is
proposed to erect thereon to be constructed
unle s the government will buy the island and
pay SIO,OOO for it As the government only
wants just enough ground to put uo two light
houses. the exorbitance of the demand is pat
ent. The Lighthouse Board is. however, going
ahead and having the lighthouses made
ready to be put up. The difficulty in
obtaining the right of sites has been
looked into by Representative Blount. It has
been decided that it is not within the province
of Congress to condemn ny legislation land in
the several States for public use. It is neces
sary that the States of Georgia and South
Carolina shall act In the matter. If the gov
ernment shall pay exorbitant sums for sites
for public lighthouses there would be nothing
left with which to put up the houses
Colonel Haines, who has charge of the work,
has ei deavored to arrange the matter with the
land owners, but cannot bring them to terras.
In regard to the demand of the owner of Elba
Island it is a little strange that a day beacon is
already located there, and that nothing for the
privilege was paid.
ARTHUR AND THK BOSSES.
Recent political events and outcroppings
have sufficed to outlive clearly the general
policy of this close-mouthed administration.
Arthur is a boon companion with all the bosses.
Boss Logan in Illinois, Boss Cameron in Penn
sylvania. Boss Conkliog In New York and Boss
Jones of Nevada are his chosen lieutenants.
He gives them full swing in all the patronage
in their several States. Ha gives them abso
late power in Federal pap. He hopes aud ex
pects that these bosses will be able to get their
grip so firmly on their States that they can
control them at the next national convention.
Elsewhere, though not in such a determined
and fighting way, is the President putting up
bosses with a view to having them command
State delegations to the next convention. There
are two objects in this course. The first is that
Arthur may receive a renomination. The sec
ond is that if he is unable to secure the coveted
prize, he may, through hi- bosses, control the
nomination: in other words,make the nominee
as Blaine made Garfield the nominee in 1880
In such a driftof events Arthur aud h's bosses
would be all powerful with the man that they
made. In other words, if the President cannot
be the big boss again, he wants to boss his suc
cessor. This is a bold scheme, but one which
has been fully outlined and entered upon in ac
tive prosecution by the parties principally in
terested. It is known also to be an ambition
with President Arthur that at the next na
tional convention the delegation from the great
State of New York will not be less for stalwart
ism and bossism than it was in the last na
tional convention.
REPRESENTATIVE BLOUNT ON MR. STEPHENS’
NOMINATION.
Representative Blount’s attitude towards Mr
Stephens ani his views in regard to hia nomina
tion are expressed briefly and comprehensive
ly. The nomination of Mr. Srepheus is very
agreeable to Mr. Blount. He thinks the su.-
gestlon of the name, the warmth with which
it has been received and Mr. Stephens’ letter
have had a very hurtful influence upon the
alleged Independent movement in Georgia.

but we hsd a steady rain and cool breeee all
day yesterday and last night, and It is cloudy
and damp this morning.
Of course this kind of weather is saving our
gardens from a drought, and early vegetables
are in fine condition. When the weather is
hot. It is hot, but only for a short time.
Farmers, however, complain that the cold
has injured cotton and some other crops, and
they are asking Vennor how soon we may look
for settled warm weather.
For a time our vegetable growers were
afraid to come into the city on account of
small-pox, and eggs, butter, milk, poultry,
etc , etc., were rather scarce. As we are now
having but few cases of small-pox, and vacci
nation is bsing enforced by law, the truck
peddlers have resumed their visits, much to
the relief of perplexed housekeepers.
Work has at last been commenced on our
street pavement, and In a few weeks Alabama
street will be laid with solid granite blocks.
Other streets will come in for a share in this
good work in due time, but only certai i sec
tions. Lack of funds prevents a general im
provement of our main thoroughfares this
season.
The opening of the Young Men’s Library on
Sundays from 2 till 9 o’clock p. m. meets with
some opposition from the friends of a strict ob
servance of the L ira’s day, yet the oirectors
will continue the new arrangement long
enough to prove whether it has more evils than
benefits connected with its advantages.
Our Young Men’s Christian Associat'on has
taken on new life, and in its commodious and
attractive hall near the capitoi, to which it re
cently removed, Is holding frequent services of
song, prayer meetings and social entertain
ments. Of course the latter draw the largest
crowds, yet they are depended upon somewhat
to keep up the interest in the religious work of
the association.
To say that the early peach crop of Georgia
this year is immense hardly covers the facts—
it is mammoth in its proportions. Capr. W. W.
Huibert, than whom the Southern Express
Company has no more active and efficient
agent, says his Atlanta shipments almost over
wtielm him. In fact, the rush of early fruit is
so largely in excess of previous seasons that he
cannot give it all prrmpt transportation. At
lanta is a sort of central point, and it is found
necessary to provide special trains or refriger
ator cars for passenger trains, in order to
promptly forward the enormous shipments of
our peacb orchards.
MINOR TOPICS.
On account of small pox here this year, Ma
rietta quarantined against the usual crowd of
colored people that go up from Atlanta to at
tend the “Decoration day” exercises at the
National Cemetery. Only a few whites went
up, and the Federal office-holder, 8. A. Darnell.
Esq , delivered the address.
')enyeare ago Columbus, Ga., had the only
cotton seed oil mill in this part of
the South, but owing to bad manage
ment on the part of its officials,
who were Northern men, it soon went into
bankruptcy, and was sold out and abandoned.
Now tbat other cities in the State are moving
in this matter, Columbus capitalists have or
ganlzed a strong Ice oi company for ttie pur
pose of establishing a cotton seed oil milt in
that city.
Only last week I referred in complimentary
terms to the appointment of Mr. Arthur 8.
Eiswald, as distriouting clerk in the Atlanta
post office, and to-day his lifeless remains, fol
lowed by a large circle of mourning relatives
and friends, will be consigned to the silence of
the grave at Oakland Cemetery. The deceased
was a young man of fine personal appearance
and great popularity, and his sudden death
pains and surprises a host of friends in this
city, who predicted for him a long and useful
career.
The banquet of Cceurde Lion Commandery
last night was the most delightful affair of the
kind ever enjoyed in Atlanta. Only one thing
marred the pleasures of the occasion, and that
was the absence of General Albert Pike and his
Secretary, who were prevented from beiqg
present on account of illness. Professor H. u.
Schreiner, of Savannah, would have been
charmed with his beautiful Knights Templar
March, as played last night by Prof. Sam Brad
ley, our talented organist, who won hearty ap
plause for hi* performance of this popular
march. A repetition of the Savannah prize
drill was a marked feature df tbe occasion,
after which a very elegant gold badge was pre
sented to Commander A. G. Howard, with ap
propriate speeches.
I notice in the Morning Nxws of a recent date
an extract from the Atlantic Monthly on a dog
law in the South, in which It is claimed that a
negro legislator killed the bill by his speech. I
have been in the Georgia Legislature some
ESTABLISHED 1850.
eight years, as a correspondent, and I hare
never yet seen a dog law bill receive even re
spectful attention from white members. When
Delegate Moore, of Whitfield, introduced his
sugar-coated dog law provision in the Const itu
tional Convention in 1877, it was a subject or
amusement, and was adopted simply as a per
fectly harmless measure. And so it has proved.
Mo legislator could introduce a dog law bill and
secure its passage In this State, and then hope
for a re-election. The dogs hold the balance
of power, and that is why they continue to kill
sheep year after year without legal restraint.
COMPULSORY VACCINATION.
In a previous letter, in speaking of the publi
cation of the London Society against compul
sory vaccination, I referred to a one page cir
cular by Dr. T. S. Hopkins, of TbomasvUp,
Georgia, as among the documents now being
sent out by the society. This gentleman writes
me that his letter to the London Society was
nof an “attack” on vaccination, bu f the im
pure virus used, from which so many of the
people of Thomasville have fearfully suffered,
without the hope of protection against t-mall
pox. Dr. Bopkins says he simply gave the
society the results from the “New England
Company’s Vaccine Virus,” and is in no way
responsible for the present use of his letter
by the London Society, which falsely places
him in the ranks of the opponents of vaccina
tion.
There are. however, intelligent physicians in
Georgia who oppose vaccination. We have
one in Atlanta, old and experienced, and the
proprietor of a drug store, who emphatic ll'y
declares that no member of his family shall
ever be vaccinated, and if the city authorities
attempt to enforce the vaccination ordinance
at his house he will remove from the city. Yet
this man, gray haired and stubborn, has bad
the smali-pox within a stone’s throw of his
residence twice during the past month. He
may beciassed with the Kev. Mr. Feaihergili,
of Fall River, Mass., who resisted vaccination
for himself and family, and as a result for his
bigotry and stubbornness died from small-pox,
as did also several of his children. It is now
too late in the day to deny that pure virus,
properly applied, is a sure protection from
small pox. We have proved it so here in At
lanta in a thousand cases.
PERSONAL MENTION.
People who try to keep informed of Senator
Hill’s condition through newspaper telegrams
and reports must change their minds as often
as the wind changes I still adhere to my first
statement, that he cannot recover, and that his
death may be looked for at any moment in the
near future.
This morning the long familiar and smiling
face of chief clerk Miller is absent from be
hind the Markham House register, he having
returned to his “first love” of other years, the
Kimball House. Wherever he may be located,
here or elsewhere. Major Miller will always
draw around him a large and influential circle
of patrons. He is a model clerk and a
modest and worthy gentleman.
The recent visit to the Southern Presbyterian
General Assembly, as a fraternal messenger,
of Bishop P. F. Stevens, of the Reformed
Episcopal Church, who was a noted Conf. der
ate soldier, reminds me that the eloquent and
learned Bis lop Samuel Fallows, of the same
church, was a gallant Federal soldier, first as a
fighting chaplain and then as Colonel of a regi
ment. He is to deliver the oration before me
society of the Army of the Potomac at its next
meeting. Generally, soldiers make good
preachers and preachers make good soldiers
Mr. Paul Bleckley, the talented son of Judge
Logan E. Bleckley, of this city, has for a time
laid aside the robes of the tragedian and taktn
up the pencil of the reporter. His reports of
the daily sessions of the Southern Presbyterian
General Assembly, published in the Post Ap
peal, show that he takes readily to his “new
departure.” and may yet become a better
journalist than tragedian.
Having eschewed politics and given himself
up to personal attention to his large banking
and stock business, Hon. John H. James now
puts his spare change into showy improve
ments on his elegant residence on Peachtree
street, and in the finest “turnout” in the city.
In addition to a fifteen hundred dollar carriage
his spanking greys wear the beautiful gold
plated harness that took the medal at the ex
position.
General Gordon and Governor Colquitt, both
of whom have made considerable money of
late out of railroads and mines.are preparing to
have the most elegant and attractive suburban
residences in the State. No expense is being
spared on the bouses and grounds at Kirkwood,
and in addition to ail modern conveniences, ard
decorations of an architectural character,
fountains and statuary, etc , will add pecu
liar charm to the elaborate surroundings and
beautiful natural scenery.
PINAL PARAGRAPHS.
The Southern Farmer's Monthly for June
has come to hand, and is considered one of
the best Issues of this excellent agricultural
journal. The careful proof reading and hand
some typographical appearance of the
Monthly have added much to its popularity.
A well-edited and elegantly printed agricul
tural journal is ot readily picked up in a 1
parts of the country.
It is not surprising, however, that the beau
tiful typography of the Southern Farmer’s
Monthly attracts favorable atten ion, as the
(decant four page circular Jhst issued from the
Morning News’ lithographic establishment
shows that the work done in that office is equal
in merit to any that comes into the State from
the great printing and lithographic houses of
the North and West. There is now no neces
sity for sending out of Georgia the finest
quality of printing or the best styles of plain
or colore 1 lithographing.
The arrival of Dr. Edward L’F.ngle, of Gaines
ville, Fla., in-this section hag attracted consid
erable notice, as he is traveling overland in
private wagons to Colorado. And yet. long be
tore railroads had settled up the country and
made such private travel safe, families moved
in this manner from Virginia to the far West
ern frontier. Even widows with small children,
and smaller means, undertook such journeys

The American Homoeopathic Observer says:
“Liebig Co.'s Coca Beef Tonic certainly mer
its all the praise it is receiving.”
The St. Louis Clinical Review says:
“We desire to call the attention of the pro
fession to the reliability of the preparations
manufactured by the Liebig Company, and to
the high character of the indorsements ac
corded to this celebrated firm by leading phy
sicians and medical journals of all schools.
The Liebig Company respectfully cautions
the public against spurious and artfully named
imitations. Be sure to ask for Liebig Co.’s
Coca Beef Tonic, and remember that the Liebig
Company offer no cheap goods. They offer
nothing below the price at which an honest,
reliable article can be manufactured. Their
preparations are indorsed and prescribed by
medical men and medical journals of all schools
both in Europe and America.
The American Homoeopathic Or server says:
“i he Liebig Cos. should not be
confounded with any patent nostrums. They
are legitimate pharmaceutical products, and
worthy of the recommendations bestowed
ui on them by both homoeopathic and allopathic
journals.”
PROFESSOR J. C LeIIARDY, M. D„ Presi

WEAK LUNGS, CONSUMPTION. SKIN DIS
EASES. BAD AND DECAYING
TEETH, OLD AGE.
The Journal of the Royal Society of Vienna
says:
“It is rt markable that the South American
Indians never suffer from consumption, and
that the cause of it is the use of Coca. They
also never suff -r with scrofuiosis, skin diseases
or caries of the teeth. They reach a very old
age and frequently pass their full century.
The use of Coca is habitual to about ten mil
lions of human beings.,’
MARASMUS. DYSPEPSIA, SHATTERED
NERVES.
PROFESSOR WILLIAM C. RICHARDSON,
M. D . Dean St. Louis. Mo., Clinic of Midwifery
and Diseases of Women and Children, says:
“To children with marasmus I have given it
with decided benefit. It is a remedy of great
utility in Dyspepsia. It is also a most power
ful and agreeable stimulant to the brain and
nervous system, and it is especially useful to
counteract fatigue of mind and body.”
DR H. F. SIIJISON, in the Therapeutic Ga
zette, says:
“To say that I am surprised and astonished
at the wonderful effects of the Coca as a ner
vous stimulant, would not adequately express
my opinion of It ”
The N. Y. Medical Eclectic says:
“The Liebig Co.’s Coca Beef Tonic prepara
tions have been fully tested an I indorsed in
such a w ay as to guarantee their purity and re
liability. Many of the most reliable practition

perienced, hive given their indorsements and
resul'S in their practice ”
DR TUTHILL MASSEY, M. D, L R. C. P„
M. B. H. 8 , of Manchester, England, says:
“The effect is something wonderful. From
being depressed and very low spirited, easily
tired. I can now walk any length of time with
out feeling fatigue. Before taking the Coca
Tonic my nerves seemed so unstrung that when
I read a pathetic tale I coul 1 not refrain from
becoming very n uch affected, although I tried
hard to overcome the absurd feeling. Now I
am myself again.”
Dedham, Mb.
To the Liebig Company:
Gentlemen—Your agent left me a bottle of
your Coca Beef Tonic for me to try. I took it my
self, as I had been sick for a number of months
with a lung affection, and was not able to prac
tice. It helped me very much. So much so
that I am now about as well as usual. I have
since given it to a number of patients, and It
has benefited every case. lam indeed most
thankful that t came to my hands. I had tried
different preparations of Coca before, but had
no effects from them.
“H. S. PHENIX, M.D.”
PROFESSOR P. H. WILKINHO'I. of Galves
ton, Editor Medical and Surgical Record, says:
“The Coca Beef Tonic of the Liebig Company,
C( mbitied as it is with Coca, quinine and iron,
'orins a most va uable adjunct to the practice
of medicine From the experience we have had
with it, we are forced to speak in its favor and
to recommend its use. Beef, iron and quinine
cannot be surpassed by qny other three ingre
dients in or out of the dispensatory for invigor
iti gan enfeebled system and when such reme
dies can be obtained combined from so reliable
a house as Liebig’s, it behooves the profession
to natronizs the same to the fullest, extent.”
From an article on the Coca by W. S Searle,
A. M.„M D , of Brooklyn, Fe low of Medico-
Chirurgical Siciety of New York, etc.
If we eliminate the trials of those who have
employed worthless specimens of the plant, we
have so much concurrent testimony as to ren
der doubt ridiculous, * * * quite as unphilo
sophical as it would have been, in a fotmer age,
to deny the growth of a blade of grass because
we were ignorant of the processes of its devel
opment. Dr. Montegszza resided and prac
ticed in South Am-rici for years, and was con
versant with the use of Coca in every fnftn, both
as employed by the natives and prescribed by
himself. His accounts of its p-operties are
most eulogistic. * * * stimulates the stom
ach and aids digestion, * * recommends
it for weak digestion and effects intemperance.
He himself u-ed it for two years, ana though
formerly unable to work after dinner without
headache and indigestion these symptoms did
not occur when he used the Coca. He advises
it for acidity and fl itulence. It is a useful
tcnic iu nervous prostration, hysteria and mel
ancholy. He considers it better than opium in
mental affections, and believes that in sustain
ing nervous force it is superior to all known
agents. I lmvo mlvinoil itu uss to a Inree num
ber and variety of persons during the past
three years, for various conditions, and the
great majority have found benefit from its em
ployment. To a sufferer from nervous dyspep
sia, a lady seventy-three years of age who had
become reduced to ad et of lightly cooked meal
and bread, and who for three years had not had
a movement of the bowels without the aid of
enemas, I prescribed it. Within three days fhe
was able to return to ordinary food, and, though
two years have passed, she has not failed to
have a regular and normal evacuation dally.
A lady who had for years suffered from ner
vous asthma, and who had been compelled to
go up stairs slowly and with frequent rests,
found great relief from the very first dose. A
brok-r who had been subjected to excessive
nervous strain, and was in consequence unable
to sleep or eat well, was becoming very weak
and emaciated. He had been taking quinine
nnd iron without any benefit, and greatly
feared he would be obliged to relinquish busi
ness fora period of entire rest. All his symp
toms were imrnediat-ly cured by Coca, and he
went on with his affairs as usual. A lady, aged
fifty five, has diabetes. Since taking Coca wi h
her meals she has improved wonderfully, being
almost entirely relieved of her former “sink
ing spell-i,” thirst and constipation. A lady
suffered for thirteen years with severe nervous
headaches. They at, first recurred every two
weeks, and finally every two days. She de
scribes them as so violent that she would rather
die than live. Three weeks after beginning the
Coca she reports: “I have had but one slight
attack, and I am so much stronger and better
that I feel sure I shall be cured.” Many in
stances of nervous he dache, neurasthenia, and
neuralgia have been reported to me as cured
by the Coca when all the usual narcotics, tonics
and anodynes have failed to afford relief. Per
haps one of the most valuable as well as won
derful properties of Coca is the facility with
which it me ts and extinguishes the craving for
opium in the vic’i rs of that fearful habit. Nor
can this be considered simply as a change of
masters, since the uniform testimony of even
those who have used Coca for a long time and
continuously is that abstention from its em
ployment Is perfectly easy, and is not accom
panied by any feeiings of distressoruneasiness
whatever. The relations of Coca to acute dis
eases are extremely important. Asa physician,
I would not be without it under any considera
tion. Coca calms and renders placid * * *
That nervousness, in many forms, and to a de
gree unknown in any country is being devel
oped in this land and age, is a melancholy fact
to which the eyes of American physicians are
being speedily opened. Our climate Is stimu
lating, our habi s are stimulating, the struggle
for existence is stimulating, and human nature
is over-driven on every side. May not Coca be
destined to be the grand palliative of these
eonoitions, and the useful sustainer of exertion
among our professional and business men f
Contributing so marvelously to endurance both
of mind and body, I look to Coca as the great
preserver of life and health in future genera
tions.
132 Henry Street, Brooklyn,
To the Liebig Company:
Your preparation of Coca is the best I have
ever seen. W. 8. BEARLE. M. D.
EDWIN M. HALE, M. D., Professor of Materia
Medica in the Chicago Medical College, author
of Lectures on Diseases of the Heart, etc , says.*
“I have used Coca with good results in cases
of functional heart disorder, and in organic
heart disease, and to relieve difficulty of breath
ing It is also indicated in that condition which
we so often find in women and children which
is best described by the word ‘fidgetiness,’ or
nervous erethism.”
WHAT IS COCA ?
The fl’-st reply is that it is not Cocoa.
COMMODOkE GIBBON (United states ex
ploring expedition of tbe Amazon) gays: ‘ The
Coca has properties so marvelous that it enables
the Indians, without any o her nourishment the
while, to perform forced marches c f five or six
days. It is so bracing, stimulant and tonic,
that by the use of it alone they will perform
journeys of 300 miies without appearing in the
least fatigued.”
Dr. WM. 8. SEARLE, of Brooklyn, N. Y
says: “The effect of the Coca upon the human
system borders upon the marvelous, and, i < not
clearly authenticated by writers of undoubted
veracity, would be altogether beyond belief.”
PROFESSOR GBaZELLA. of the Royal Uni
versity of Seville, says: “Coca seems to pro
long life; longevity among its users is the rule,
and not, as with us, the exception. They r are
also freer from disease.”
PROFESSOR J. J. VAN TBHUDI ( Trave'g
in Peru”) says: “Betting aside all extravagant
and visionary notices, I am clearly of the opin
ion that the use of Coca is very conducive to
nealth and longevi'y. In support of this con
clusion, I may refer to the numerous exam
ples of longevity among Indians, who, from
boyhood, have been in the habit of masticating
Coca three times a day. liases are not unfre
quent; >f Indians attaining the great age of 130
years, and these men, at the ordinary rate of
consumption, must, in the course of their lives,
have chewed not less than 8,700 pounds of the
leaf, and letained the most perfect health and
vigor.”
I tried Liebig Co.’s Coca Beef Tonic in a num
ber of cases of chronic Dyspepsia where the as
similation of food was very cefactive,and there
was siSAdy loss of weight. The results obtained
in two weeks were, iuueed, flattering, cue pa
