Attention has been called to the fact that mas
much as salts of Hypophosphites are more readily
absorbed by the system, they are better indicated
as auXiliaries with which to improve the blood,
and generally to cuie wasting disease, than all
other preparations from Phosphorus.
And since Phosphorus enters so largely into the
animal economy 1t becomes par excellence the best
vehicle with which to associate the other vtalzing
ingredients of healthy blood, nerve and muscle.
In Fellows Syrup Of Hypophosphites are COM
bined all the substances found necessary to insure
robust health, and, whereas, it was invented with
view to supply every deficiency, it certainly has
performed some wonderful cures.

WEDNESDAY, April 18th.
In the trial Of the Abbot will case to-day, all
the direct testimony the part Of the contestants
was closed at 1890 A. NJ, except that of profess
sional experts in the science of insanity. Mr..
Gould, counsel for contestants, suggested to the
court that these should not be examined until the
testimony on the other side was developed. Mr..
Baker objected. The court allowed the experts to
be examined either at this stage of the trial, or
after the other side stops as counsel may prefer.
On account of the poor health of Dr. John Z. Ty-
Ter of Boston, and his desire 10 return home, he
was called to the stand now, but the other experts
will not testify till the rebutting evidence has
been heard. 1t was past four O'Clock when the
doctor left the stand. His testimony was listened
to with absorbing interest.

The Clymer Committee.

Gen. Hendrick was examined by the Clymer
Committee to-day. His evidence is that he is in
terested in post traderships at Fcrt Buford, Lin
coin and Fetterman; has one-third interest in
each, but never put any capital in either. He be-
came interested in Fort Fetterman in 1871, in
Fort Buford the same year, and in Fort Lincoln
in the latter part of 1874. He helped to procure
these post traderships, and was personal friend
of Secretary Belknap. 1t was not part of the
consideration for one-third interest that Gen.
Hendrick should use his influence with Secretary
Belknap. About appointing Layton, he said he
had not had personal interest in the business.
He had received nothing from Fort Lincoln, from
the others perhaps $4,000. Gen. Hendrick was
examined at great length as to the capital invested
at the several posts, but could not give any in
formation.
