SUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY.


CHICAGO, Dec 27.-The papers state that Mrs
Mccoy, milliner residing at Crestine O., and
a lady of good character, came to this city, and
either went herself or was taken to female
doctor on State street where she died in few
days and was put in box and sent off to Ohio,
where the body was discovered. Arrests have
been made Among those arrested was a bag
gage master on the Pittsburg Fort Wayne and
Chicago railroad, named William Threb, who
was engaged to be married to Mrs. Mccoy. 1t
is claimed by the police that abortion was prac-
tlced upon the deceased. DIR. Miller, who made
partial post norton examination, says he has
discovered no grounds ON which to base belief
that the woman died other than natural death.

BUSINESS NOTICES.
BY w. L. Walker, M. ID.

my W. !" aiker, W. Ds
[From the Medical Record of November 1st 1911
Having been requested to state what 1 know
therapeutically ofKennedy's Concentrated Ex-
tract of Pinus Canadensis, and furthermore be-
ing requested to send it for publication in the
columns of your Journal L beg leave briefly to
tax your patience and generosity.
For the past six months 1 have used this ex-
tract in many cases affecting the mucous mem
branes, and in almost every case it has given
entire satisfaction. In abrasion of the os and
cervex uteri, when applied in its full strength
by means of pledget of cotton, 1 have found
it far more satisfactory than tannin or iodine
In endometrtis it has proved equally satisfac-
tory. 1 have used it with perfect success in
acute and chronic vaginitis, by applying it in
its full strength every other day. 1 have also
used it in several cases of gonorrhea, and must
say that L vastly prefer it to the Wanted rem
edy of claret and tannin.
1t is certainly most valuable astringent and
tonic; and l doubt not that it will very soon
have its place in our Matera Medica.
