new organ, Mr.. Coleman, without any So

CURED.
1t has been satisfactorily proven
that the death of the colored man,
Louis Colwell, which occurred last week in
Palatka, was not caused by poisoning from
opium in antimigraine, which he had
taken for headache, as was claimed by the
attending physician, DR.. Strauss. When
this statement was made public, the Anti
mlgralne Company was at once notified.
The Palatka Times says: Mr.. J. L. Mar
| steller, representing the COMPANY, ar
rived in Palatka Monday. He ali
once called upon the Times with
Mr.. Canova, and informed us that a
meeting would be held at 1880 o'clock D. IN. =.
in DIR. Strauss office, for the purpose of
testing the antimigralne for traces of opium
or poisonous drugs. Promptly at the hour
named the Times reporter visited the offics
and found present Drs. Strauss aud Steen,
and Messrs. Alderman, Canova, and Vogel-
bach, chemists, the representative of the
company being present. The medi-
cine was submitted to every known
test for the discovery of opium, morphine
or other poisons. The bottle from which
the deceased had taken doses was produced
and showed the same result as all bottles
heretofore untouched which were opened in
the Office aud tested. No trace of any
poisonous drug was discovered, and both
doctors and chemists agreed that the
medicine was entirely free from both
opium and morphine, and that conse-
queutly it was impossible that the man
could have died as result of taking it.
Mr.. Marsteler stated that the most
eminent physicians had agreed and certified
that autimigraine was entirely safe,
and that he, in his largo experience with
the medicine, had known of cases where a
bottle had been taken within the space of
two hours without any serious results"
