"THAT INQUEST"

Editor SENTINEL: 80. .z.- .,
An explanation of THAT Inquest"
held on the cody of John Brooks, on the
18th of April, which you have been
pleased TO cfiticise, may not be ont Of
place. The fact that John. Brooke had
been lingering for many months with
an incurable disease docs not destroy the
fact that his life could be cut short by
artificial means. The peculiar manner
of his death excited the belief among his
neighbors that he had been pois oned. l
was accordingly notified aud. requested
to investigate the case.
I summoned . jury of inquest, aud
swore in DR.. P. G. A. Kaufman, who
made the post nsor'em examination, and
found the stomach in a pathological
state, the coats of which being highly
'congested, indicated active inflammation,
q condition not likely to occur from the
slow process Of Phthisis Pulmonalis DE-.

came to his immediate death by an active
poison administered by one calling her.

certificate of DIR. K, but upon the ac-
acknowledgement of Mrs. DR.. Neitscke who
alleged that she had administered sugar
of lead, opium and morphine. the exact
proportions of which she was unable to
tell, but "thinks" she gave three grains
phine in small doses.
Under these circumstances it was quite
natural to conclude that it was . proper
case for legal investigation. ain con-
strained to the opinion that if the evil
dence had been properly handled before
might have been made out quite differ
ent and your blnshes thereby spared. Tho
learned physicians who astounded the
court with the astute information that
three grains of sugar Of lead were harm
less, failed to inform that tribunal that
sugar Of lead in large doses acts as. an ir-
ritant poison, and opium and its COM
pounds deadly in their effects if adminis-
tered improperly, and these medicines
Mrs. DIR. Neitsckc admitted to have admin
istered in quantities by guess which is a
dangerous process unless Mrs. DR.. n, is
remarkably good at guessing.
Upon the certificate Of DR.. Kaufman
and the acknowledgment Of Mrs. DR..
Neitscke the jury made their verdict.
do not believe Mrs. Neitscke intend
ed willfully to poison the deceased, but
was endeavoring to alleviate his suffer-
ing.
The evidence elected, however, plainly
showed incolupetency on her part, and
justly meritcd some rcbuke from the
Court.

A FALSE IMPRESSION.

PARTIES who claim to have The right to
make the medicine discovered by DIR. A..
@. Simmons are attempting to sustain a.
warning reputation ~ attacking the ORR
ginal and Genuine preparation. In 1856
DR.. simmons gave the original receipt
and right to make his LIVER Medicine to
near Chattanooga, Tenn. We make the
original and only genuine Dr.. A: Q. Sim
mons Liver Medicine from this receipt.
Every genuine package of the medi-
cine is enclosed III yellow wrapper,
on which is likeness Of DR.. A. Q. Sim
mons, which we have registered. in the
Patent Oflice as our trade mark. The
medicine is for sale by DR.. Mumford and
DR.. Brooks, with whom we have left
some trial packages to be given away
to allapplicants.

HONOR FROM EUROrE.-It is conceded
OH all sides that DIR. Ayers Pills are
above comparison with other medicines.
Uniting the best elemcnts known to the
chemist they are particularly effective
against the numerous stomachic disor-
ders for which they are recon- mec ded as
cure. These Pills are so mild, yet
searching, that they are often prescribed
by doctors who otherwise do not favor
patent medicines. Indeed, with the
trnits of DR.. Ayers genius in the shape
of Pills.. sarsaparilla, Ague Cure and
Cherry Pectoral, one might with imput
nifty travel through tho swanps of tropi-
cal America, or follow Stanely on his

We readily agree with our friend
Coroner Ball that man who is in the
very last stages Of an incurable disease
may have his life cut short by artificial
means, and we don't shed "blusl' in
the admission. The man may be struck
by lightning, smashed in a railroad dis
asteror run over by an oN-cart, but in
every case tho lifelcss remains would
bear some traces pointing to the particu-
lar calamity that wrought the destruc-
ton Of his life. These traces arc Just
what Were lacking in the Brooks case,
according to our view but as four
learned physicians are already involved
in this question, we shall loave it to
them to solve the intricaccs Of tho prob
lem. Our columns arc open to YOU, gen

THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.
IClaiborne Guardian.1


Whether they be fight or wrong in
their opinions one thing at present seems
to be certain that the people are dissatis-
fed with the work and the results of the
fifth Legislature. SO great is the dissat-
isfaction that nothing short Of a change
almost sweeping will satisfy. 1t is true
there are single individuals who may
be returned by their constituents, but the
personnel of the legislative body i'll, if
we mistake not, he greatly changed by
the November election. It may be true
as Senator White says the fifth General
Assembly has accomplished much in the
way Of reform, yet then the most ordina-
ry intellect will wonder why moro was
not accomplished when they see how
much time was taken up with mighty
endeayors to accomplish petty things.
That is, if all legislators on the Demo-
cratic side were patriotic, sclf-sacrificing
men, anxious to labor for the public good.
Already the campaign looks as if it will
consist in attacks upon one side-excuses
on tho other. The record of reform leg
islation is presented in an apologize
way: $50 much good have we done but
NO might have done more" This condi-
ton of affairs is an unhappy one. Is in
furious to the party and to the people.
Our leaders who propose to conduct the
fall canpain to Il termination happy alike
for the party and tho State should bear
in mind that the conflict of apology and
aggressiveness has usually but one ter
minatlon-defeat for the fist.
Verify, All unhappy condition Of public
affairs is presented for the consideration
Of the people. Dissatisfied with their
Legislators they do not wish their tlissat-
isfaction to include Gov. Nichols and
the Others of the administration. Disap-
po'ntment in the men they have chosen
to help them from their difficulties, they
are not prepared to give any kind of snp-
port to the radicals who have brought
npoc them the original evils.
There must be no division in our ranks
There is no need for censure of the State
administration. If the Legislature is re-
sponsible for the troublesome state in
which we find ourselves, let us elect new
men and better men. If there is to be
any discussion in our ranks let it be heal
ed by the nominating conventions.
We cannot afford to go through the
campaign with administration Demo-
Gratis and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. con-
stitutional convention Democrats and
Democrats opposed to a convention.
With such divisions as these we think it
easy for that Charge and troublesome
minority" of Republicans that did so
much to retard legislation, to do still
more toward defeating us in November
Whatever be the issues that now divide
and asitate the Democracy, let them he
settled i'll some way, and lot us go into
the campaign united upon one vital
point-to hold on to the victory gained
two years ago, and to choos 9 such
men as will improve that victory to the
further advantage of the whole people.
