speaking of the published charges made
by the family of the late actress, that
the powders he prescribed for her were

following statement to representative
of the Associated Press:

and desired to quietly visit with his
family on the other side long enough to
recover from the shock of his Wife's
death. which was very great, as could
be shown by my personal correspond

prescribed for Miss Pixley and about
which so much has been said. were
simply bISmuth and soda to settle the
lady's stomach. My mail is very large
since these charges were made, and |
am daily flooded with messages and
