Dear Sir: At your request we
have examined the body OF Elvira
Summers, who diod this day,
October 4, and found the n,uc,ts
membrane of the stomach striking-
ly congcstod in many places, OK
hibiting patches of vascularity, no
liberation or other organic lesion,
and the whole surface covered with
tenacious mucus highly colored, of
reddish yellow hue We ore under
the impression that tho above ap>
pearances indicate the presence Of
some corrosive or irritating sub
stance having been the cause of the
gastric symptoms which preceded
her death. We recommend the
analysis Of the contents of the
stomach, which have been removed
by Il competent chemist.

several cases, TO recognize the
Governors certificates held by
Republican contestants, while at
the same time placing Democrat
ic members upon the roll whose
title to their seats is based upon
certificates issued to them by the
governors: If the Demo

about them, they will loose no
time in convincing Clerk Adams
that it is no part Of his duties 20
