CORONER AND VIOLENT DEATHS
Dispute with PhysiO-MedicaI Doctors
Over a Case.


Coroner Nash said yesterday that as he
had not been notified officially of the sud-
den death of Marie Fisher, the colored
woman who died at the dispensary of the
Physiological College, at Alabama and
North streets, he intended making an inves-
tigation. He held that the coroner should
be notified of all sudden deaths. The body of
the woman was buried at Crown Hill at
the expense of her relatives and the coroner
said he might see fit to have it exhumed
even though an autopsy had been held by
physicians connected with the college and
the cause of death pronounced to be fibrous
blood clot on the heart.
DIR. outland, speaking for the college, said
last night that he and his colleagues did
not believe that the case was one in which
the coroner had to do, but still, if the
coroner wished to make an investigation,
they would be glad to help him. 1.-THE wom-
an" DR.. Outland said, had been under
treatment at the Dispensary for week, and
before that time she had been under the
care of physician. The day she died she
entered the Dispensary and said she had
hardly been able to get there. She sat down
and the physicians applied restoratives to
her. She was placed in reclining position,
but she could not keep IL. 1t was an hour
before she died and during that time all
that could be done for her was done. Flan-
ner & Buchanan took charge of the body al
the request of the woman's relatives and
these relatives asked us to hold an autopsy.
The autopsy was conducted by Drs. Out
land and Secoy in the presence of Drs.
Woodland, Harold and Haggard. I do not
think the case is a corners case. because
the woman had been under physicians care
and did not die a sudden and violent DEATH"
do you think that if a person falls dead
on the street the coroner should investigate
the case?" DR.. Outland was asked
mot If the person had been under
physicians care" was his reply.
Coroner Nash will probably confer to-day
with the physicians of the college, He talked
with the county attorney yesterday and said
ne was determined TO find out what the
power of his Office amounted to. He will
hold an inquest and take the testimony of
the physicians who held the AUTOPSY.

DR.. HALE DOES NOT
Write Testimonials, but Does Good
In Another Way.

My husband, Dr. Hale, does not write
recommendations. but he always recon-
mends to his patients the use OF Postum
Food Coffee in place of common coffee.
We mix the Postum with just enough egg
(white and yolk beaten together) TO moisten
II little, then the Postum does not boil up
around the edges of the coffee pot as it
does when moistened with water alone. and
we think IL tastes richer and seems clearer.
This does not take the place of continued
boiling, for we have no way to get the rich
taste out or Postum except by knowing
that II has been allowed 10 boil fifteen or
twenty minutes after the real boiling be-
gins.
Many make a mistake by counting the fif-
teen minutes from the time they put the
pot on the stove, but this will not do /
