WILL CONTEST
Defending the color test as an au
thoritative method of determining
approximately the amount of mor
phine and moronic acid in the hu
man body, reiterating his former
testimony that undoubtedly much of
the morphine which originally was in
the body of Joshua B. Crawford must
have disappeared in the four years
intervening between death and the
post-mortem examination, and ex
pressing the expert opinion that the
aged farmer did not die of pneumonia,
Dr. H. F. Harris, secretary of the
State Board of Health, gave the
most important testimony at the
concluding session of the famous
Crawford will contest hearing Friday.
The hearing was brought to a sud
den close Friday by the announce
ment of Auditor James L. Anderson
that he was “going to conclude the
case to-day.” Attorney James then
announced that he would, under these
conditions, just place two witnesses
on the stand.
They were Dr. Harris and Dr. John
Funke, professor of pathology and
bacteriology at the Atlanta Medical
< 'ollege.
Defense Evidence Attacked.
They were placed on the stand in
rebuttal of the testimony of the de
fense, and the questions propounded
of Dr. Harris by Attorney James were
met with constant objections from the
defense's counsel.
The defense scored on Dr. Harris’
testimony when he admitted that a
morphine injection might be revealed
in the stomach by analysis. He ad
mitted that meeonic acid, traces of
which were found in his analysis, was
not poison, but said it indicated the
presence of opium.
"It would not be reasonable to say
whether morphine would remain for a
short or a long period.” said Dr. Har
ris. “There have been Instances
where great quantities of opium have
been administered to a man and ab
solutely no trace of it could be found
in an examination a day or two after
death. In other eases, it has been
known to remain for a long time.
“The color test is regarded as an
authoritative one, and Dr. Everhardt
and myself made every standard test
in our analysis to discover the traces
of opium and morphine.
Not Cross-Examined.
The defense did not cross-examine
Dr. Harris.
Dr. John Funke professor of pa
thology and bacteriology at the At
lanta Medical College, followed Dr.
Harris on the stand. He said that
he had analyzed thousands of lungs
and stomachs during his career, lie
expressed the opinion that a body
would throw off much morphine dur
ing four years in the grave.
He also expressed the opinion that
it would he impossible to tell four
years after death whether a person
died of pneumonia. It was highly
probable that opium poisoning would
he absorbed by the body to such an
extent that it would be impossible to
find any traces of it. he said.
Auditor Anderson then set January
12 as the date for the arguments in
the hearing.
Mrs. Crawford, accused widow, was
an interested spectator to the last
minute.

Meat Forms Uric Acid, Which
Clogs Kidneys; Causes Rheu
matism and Irritates Bladder.
If you must have your meat every
day, eat it. but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted authority
who tells us that meat forms uric acid
which almost paralyzes the kidneys in
their efforts to expel it from the blood.
They become sluggish and weaken,
then you suffer with a dull 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 had you have rheu
matic twinges. The urine gels cloudy,
full of sediment, the channels often get
sore and irritated, obliging you to seek
relief two or three times during the
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 her*. take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few’ days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia.
and has been used for genera’ions to
flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder w eakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: can not in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink.—Advt.
