DR.. Jordan. Seattle, Wash:
Dear Sir-There has been regular epi-
demic of diphtheria in Fall City precinct
ever since February. People were dying
very fast and the local physicians failed in
checking the disease. happened 10 be out
Of your medicines when one OF my friends
was very sick. 50 went TO neighbor and
borrowed the remnants OF supply, which
he used until he got entirely well. He had
been given up 10 die. but the medicines
brought him out ali right
We also were out OF medicine when Mr..
Flint was taken very sick with diphtheria
but rode seven miles and telegraphed for
some. He says be could not possibly have
lived but short time when he commenced
taking the Histogenetic medicines.
Mr.. Shaw. of Tolt. George Parker and
Mr.. Hazelion were ali nearly dead with
the same disease, but after taking your
medicines got entirely well. Mr.. Hoffman
had three children all dangerously sick
with dipntheria. Two OF them stopped
the use OF the Histogenetic medicines and
sought aid from other physicians. They
died. The other one refused 10 give up
your medicines and made perfect recoy-
cry.
~ you AHOWs y00 INC vi cpAkCftc9
with which 1 had suffered for fourteen
years. and IN my wife's case the medicines
did an immense amount OF good for a
complication of troubles. / could see in
three days after my wife commenced tax
ing them that she was better and her
cough was almost well. The general opin-
ion here now is that these are the only
medicines that cure and nearly everyone
in the vicinity has used them for all kinds
Of troubles and always with beneficial re-
suits and now keep them in their homes.
Old man Jose told Hs the other day that
he would not take $4,000 for what YOU had
done for his heart trouble. Mr.. Taylor's
little boy was another victim 10 diphtheria,
who recovered with the help OF your medi-
cines, and | could mention many more had
time, suffice ii to say, you have the heart
felt gratitude of this whole community.
Yours gratefully.

WASHINGTON, March Sin pursuance of
the statement made by Mr.. Carlisle recently
that the unseating of Mr. Pendeton, of West
Virginia, will come up in the courts, Mr..
Pendleton says:
''The action in turning me out was clearly
unconstitutional. A member is unseated by
the house, and the quorum consists of l66
members, not 1862 There are two ways aud
two places in which the question of consti-
tutionality can be brought up. Suit can
either be brought in the supreme court or
the court of claims The proceedings can
be quo warranto in nature, and based on a
call to the speaker to show cause why he
prevents me from exercising the privileges
of q member. A suit for salary can also be
entered. In either event the question for
settlement will be whether the speaker has
a right to declare a member unseated with.
out IA quorum votingn
The Democrats say they will not bring
suit until Mr.. Atkinson votes on some bill
which becomes law, and then they will
make the point that it is unconstitutional
The Republican managers are perfectly
satisfied to make test case of the matter
They claim they could have quorum vot
ing when Mr.. Pendleton was unseated. but
in order to decide the question definitely they
allowed Mr. Atkinson TO take his seat on 10.
