50 Says Dr.. Strahan, and Ills Word
Cannot Be Doubted.

Staying for few days IN the city is DR.. J. S. H.
strahan, one Of the few men who have made
name in the medical world which is information al
IN Its scope and synonym for ali that is honor able
IN It's admitted decency. Money-no matter how
large the amount-could not induce DR.. Strahan to
allow his name to be used to support the merits of
any remedy If he had not conclusively proved its
merits, and 1t is even doubtful If he would now
allow his name to appear before the public but
for the fact that in his practice he has more
than one vond er emanate from Californis.
DR.. StrRhan holds the position of consulting ply
sieian TO the Northampton Royal Hospital Eng
land, and is the author of four standard works on
hereditary diseases. Indeed he Is the recoguiz ed
authority on that class of insanity. In England
and indeed IN Europe-he has a large practice

When he was assured that It was desired to get as
great variety of authorities as possible he said
* Very we'll then; you may quote me ss saying
this:
There are few medical men who have
not prescribed sarsaparilIa In some shape
or form. 4 have found from experiences
that Joys is quite safe to prescribe under
almost any circumstances. 1t is doubtless
most efficient remedy In all diseases
arising directly Indirectly from Inn
pure blood and foul condition Of the
stomach. L know it to be so from seeing
iIs benencial effects in my own practice.
But the annoying way in which find
some city as well country druggists
have of trying to induce the patients to
take some other snrsaparIIIa when Joys
mas been prescribed annoys me much.
DR.. McFarland's opinion Is shared By very many
medical men, all of equally good standing in the
medical profession with himself, but It shows
sound, manly spirit when he comes out and makes
statement of this sort, for no matter how much
1t may be the habit of the medical profession to
use proprietary remedies, they are certainly not
given to letting the public know really how 90 o
they are.

to aid any one IN any way that lies his power the
doctor wrote the short statement which follows:

Why People Feel This Way and That It
Is Needless Clearly shown.
"Why is it that so many people feel under

Of chilly sensations at this time of the year?"
This is a question that is very easily an
swered. People naturally feel weak and run
down after the heat of sum mer because it thins
the blood and lowers the vitality. The chilly
weather of fall and early winter finds them
unprepared to Withstand the change OF tenn
perature and hence they suffer. This fact is
plainly proved by the following opinions of
some people who speak from practical expert

THAT SCHOOL TAX
Stipulation Filed by A. d. Miller With
the County.

Stipulation Filed by A. d. Miller With
the County.
A stipulation signed by A. D. Miller for
the plaintiff and District Attorney Ryan
and his deputy, j. G. Jones. for the de-
fendant, was filed in the Supreme Court
Clerks Office yesterday, agreeing to a re-
versal of the decision Of the Superior
Court ofsthis county in the suit of A. D..
Miller against the county for the recovery
of money collected for alleged illegal
school taxes.
The case Of Miller was against the
county for the recovery OF S94 20 alleged
to have been illegally collected as an as
sessment for school purposes in Enter
prise School District. Miller claimed that
the election called by the trustees OF the
district for the purpose Of voting on the
question of raising his taxes for special
school purposes in the district was not
legally called, for the reasons that the
trustees of the district advertised the call
for the election but once week tor two
weeks in newspaper In the county,
whereas they should have advertised It
once week for three weeks; that the tax
was void, because the election called for
the purpose of raising the tax, and the
one upon which the assessment is
founded, was called for the purpose of
voting tax to build a schoolhouse in
the district, and for no other school pur-
pose, and that the maximum rate of the
tax exceeded 20 cents on each Sl00 of the
taxable property in the district.
Judge Catlin's decision, rendered in
April last, was in favor of Miller. He
found that the call for the election should
have been advertised for three full weeks.
This failure in the publication alone is
fatal" said the court, land renders the
tax null and void. The excess in the
rate of the tax is also of itself alone
sufficient to invalidats the tax. even il
the publication of the notice had been
sufficient"
The county appealed from the decision.
