ROM OF DOCTORS
15 SEEN BACK OF
MERRITT CASE
Councilmen Say Charges Are
Result of Feeling Between
Anti-Tuberculosis Heads.
A number of city councilmen de
■lared today that ft was clear to them
trial the whole trouble about the Bat
>le Hill Tuberculosis sanitarium was
n estrangement between the managers
ot i he institution. Dr. Claude A. Smith,
city bacteriologist, and Dr. S. W. Mer
ritt. «uperintendent, and officials of the
Associated Charities and the Anti-Tu
berculosis association, Joseph C. bo
tan and Dr. R. R. Daley. Councilman
r, H. Boynton, a member of the com
mittee. said this was the gist of the
matter.
It developed at the investigation yes
terday afternoon that after Dr. Daley,
who is the chairman of the clinical
staff of the Anti-Tuberculosis associa
tion, charged mismanagement against
the institution before the board of
eaith, and Aiderman A. H. Van Dyke
declared himself in favor of an investi
gation, a number of patients called on
Dr. Van Dyke to register complaints.
When the source of the fight had been
-down at the investigation yesterday,
Airs. Gilbert Fraser, a prominent social
worker and the president of the Shel
tering Arms, surprised the committee
bv a request to make a statement.
Calls Evidence Rubbish.
She declared that the evidence
against the Battle Hill sanitarium was
rubbish and that the committee ought
not to listen to ft.
Mr. Logan said he did not have any
serious complaint except that Dr. Smith
and Dr. Merritt seemed opposed to co
operation with his association.
He said that Dr. Smith was once
somewhat rude to Miss Minnie Van
Epps, of the Charities association, when
she applied for admission to the hos
pital for the mother of an Italian fam
ily.
Dr. Smith said the family was repre
sented to him as paupers, while the
husband earned $lO a week and a
brother sls a week. He said they were
saving their money. He said on in
vestigation It was found that the wom
’•ii whom they wanted to get into the
hospital did not have tuberculosis.
The most interesting bit of testimony
was the cross-examination of Dr. Daley
by Dr. Smith. -
Dr. Daley Under Fire.
You say you have been hearing
these complaints against the hospital
since April and yet you have never told
me or the committee in charge of the
institution about them?” asked Dr.
Smith.
' The charges were being investigated
by a committee of the association and
it was not my business to tell of them,”
replied Dr. Daley.
"Yet you went before the board of
health and made them in my absence?”
continued Dr. Smith.
"I went before the board of health
to try and effect an arrangement of
co-operation, and you were not pres
ent.” answered Dr. Daley.
“When you found me not present you
blew up' and made al! sorts of
charges?” asked Dr. Smith.
"No, 1 did not ‘blow up.'" answered
Dr. Daley.
"Do you remember speaking to me
about your desire to get on the medical
staff of the Grady hospital and using
some very strong language in declar
ing that only those on the inside could
get those places?" continued Dr. Smith.
"Don't look at me so straight. You
an't intimidate me." replied Dr. Daley
hotly. Dr. Daley then denied that he
nad made such a statement.
The investigation will be resumed
next Tuesday. Acting Mayor John S.
Candler, Councilman C. D. Knight. Dr.
Merritt and others will be called as
witnesses for the institution.

Travelers Don't Fear Strange j
Dishes. Stuart’s Dyspepsia ;
Tablets Enable the Stom
ach to Stand Anything.
A Box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is 1
Your Best Traveling Companion. .
"Railroads tell you it'bout the won- i
ders of Nature along their lines; hotels j
describe their modern accomtntodations: I
but they "never fill to ring in th ir
‘cuisine unexcelled.' The wise traveler
knows he is taking 'pot' luck when lie
leaves hothe, hence a box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is quite as essential
as many of the other traveling requi
sites."’
Thus commented a philosophical
traveling man, speaking of hotel life,
restaurants, grills and junction lunch j
counters. "The agitations in tiiis |
world," he continued, “are the result of
one set of men trying to compel the
other set to think and act against their
own inclinations. It is the same in re
ligion. politics, and eats 1 have learned
from experience to eat what they serve;
to forget the food experts, read the cur- j
rent news and jokes and leave the i
stomach to the best expert in tiie world
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.”
And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actu
ally do the work assigned them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom
achs of a great pprtion of digestive ac
tion. Their component parts assist the
digestive fluids and secretions of the
stomach and they simply take up the
grind and carry on the work just the
same as a good, strong. heaUh.v stom
ach would do it.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists, at 50 cents a bo?:,
and tHley are the one article that the
druggist does not try to sell something
in The place of it that’s “just qs good.”
Their unqualified merit and success and I
the universal . demand for them has j
placed them within the reach of every |
one.
