I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. HARRIS D HEARING I>r H. K. Harris, secretary of the Slate Board of Health, was recalled to the witness stand Friday in the Crawford will contest hearing to de fend his post-mortem analysis of l ncle Josii" Crawford, whom the widow is accused of having poisoned. Dr. Harris previously had testified to having foand liberal traces of mor phine and opium in the stomach of the dead man. This testimony, how ever. has been violently attacked by medical experts who took the stand lor Mrs. Crawford. They declared that the State physician had made a wrong analysis, using a color test in stead of a quantitative test of the contents of Crawford’s stomach. Dr, Harris’ testimony will be in re buttal of this. The end of the hearing appeared nearly as remote Friday as it did ten days ago, following the announcement of Attorney James, representing the 48 heirs who are opposing Mrs. Mary Relic Crawford. Thursday afternoon that he still had a great number o? witnesses to place upon the stand, and that his questioning would g: into ever> possible detail to shov conspiracy In the death of Joshua B. Craw ford. Colonel James is attempting to show’ collusion netween Mrs. Craw ford and Mrs. Emma Johnson in ^he writing of a letter addressed ’o "Mrv Savage/’ at St Augustine, and signed by "J. B, Crawford.’’ He stated to Auditor Anderson that he would prove the letter filed by the defense was not the letter written, but one substituted for the genuine document. It is claimed by Attorney James th t Mrs. Johnson, at Joshua R. Craw fords dictation, wrote a letter r o “Mrs. Savage,” telling her not to come back to Atlanta, and faying lie would not marry her. Mrs. Craw ford has vigorously denied that such a, letter ever was written, and her .statement has been corroborated by the testimony of Mrs. Johnson. Attorney James also has intimated that he would call several medical ex perts to the stand to refute the testi mony of those doctors who have tes tified that the amount of poison said to have been found in Mr. Crawford’s stomach was not more than might be expected to be found after the taking of an opium cough mixture and a morphine hypodermic.

They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a <1 ull misery in the. kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad > ou have rheu- | malic twinges. The urine gets cloudy. full of sediment, the channels often get j sore and irritated, obliging you to seek ; relief two or three times during the I night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to ; cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take 1 a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast for a few days and jour kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grape? and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive: can not in jure, and makes a delightful efferves cent lithia-water drink.- Advt. The Demand tor Rooms Is greater now than at any time dur ing: the season.
