HARRIS DEFENDS POISON
HEADING
Defending the color test as an au-
: imitative method of determining
ipproximately the amount of mor-
liiiine and meconid acid in the hu
man body, reiterating his former
■siimony that undoubtedly much of
he morphine which originally was in
lie body of Joshua B. Crawford must
ave disappeared in the four years
ntervening between death and the
post-mortem examination, and ex
pressing the expert opinidn that the
jged farmer did rot die of pnefhnonia,
1 ir. H. F. Harris, secretary of the
State Board o' Health, gave the
most important testimony at the
oncluding session of the famous
■ rawford will contest heart-g Friday.
The hearing was brought to a sud-
en close Friday by the announce
ment of Auditor James L. Anderson
that he was “going to conclude the
rase to-day." Attorney James then
announced that he would, under, these
renditions, just place two witnesses
i n the stand.
Th'ey were Dr. Harris and Dr. John
Ftinke. professor of pathology and
bacteriology at the Atlanta Medical
College.
Defense Evidence Attacked.
They were placed on the stand in
rbuttal of the testimony of the de
fense, and the questions propounded
f 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
George E, Wester,
Insurance Man, Dies
George E. Wester, a son of the late
l>. niel J. Wester, died Thursday
git at a private sanitarium, after an
: I ness of eight weeks. Mr. Wester,
\ ho was 42 years old. originally was
nun Palmetto, but for the past twen-
years had been a resident of At-
-: ;a. ills late residence havln-g been
.V’ 38 Park street, West End.
'Hie deceased is survived by his
ife. who was Miss Georgia Owen, of
1 iglasville; brothers. John D. Wes-
■r president of the Wester Music
npany, of this city; W. P. Wester,
of Palmetto, and Prank Wester,\of
Atlanta, and a sister, Mrs. James Neil,
f Palmetto.
Mr. Wester for the last fifteen

Mountain Laurel for
New National Flower
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Moun
tain laurel was proposed as the ofil
ial national flower of the United
States in a bill introduced to-day by
Representative Kinkead, of New
Jersey.
morphine injection might be revealed
in the stomach by analysis. He atD
mitted that meconic 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 cases, 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 bur 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. He
expressed the opinion that a body
would throw off much morphine dur
ing four yeais in the grave.
He also expressed the opinion that
It would be impossible to tell four
years after death whether a person
died of pneumonia. It was highly
probable that opium poisoning would
be 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 te’fs 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 bad you have rheu
matic twinges. The urine gets 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 oft the
body’s urinous waste get four ounces of
Jari Salts from any pharmacy here; take
a tablespoonfu! 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 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 ^ot In
jure, and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink.—Advt.
