d. Wilson continued, telling of the
case Of Airs, Eberle, for whom by pre-
sCription No, lS5, en- January %, be pre-
scFibed dvs-gTain Quinine pills, Three.
grain pills were furnished.
In this case, asall the others, DR.. Wilson
showed samples OF the pills furnished,
and samples from reliable druggsta OF
pills Of various weights, The false weight
is apparent to casual observer in every
instance.
Several disorderly interruptions were
INDUCED III by Bingell at this stage OF the
proceeding, He was warned by Capt.
Prince not to interrupt, A second pre-

Again the Interruptions from Dingsll
were borne by tho committee for several
minutes, The only attempt at defence he
made was tho repeated statement, ~ ain
not willing 10 admit thatthosG things ever
came from my store, and the assertion
that Dr.. Wilson never prescribed lime.
water and linseed oil for a burn.
DR., Wilson conducted himself under
these circumstances, exceedingly trying

after BlngsIl had abused him savagely,
said he would be willing at any time to
appear before the Board and advocate an
increase Of the contract price Of $50, which
was Blngell'a. bid, but which was u ride.
ul0usly small amount for the service re-
qulred. lie referred tobis prescriptions
on file ut McLain Brothers, the other
county drug contractors, to show that
he did not discriminate in the drugs used
in the Second district, and emphatically
denied that he had ev6n "tanpSfedn with
medicines put up by Bingel.
This denial brought from Biugell the
remark, "Im not going to accept no
apology"
Then Mr.. Biuqill picked up the roll Of
manuscript he brought with him, and
demanded that the clerk read his "coun.
