signed a release of all claims against
the company. 1t appeared in the testi-
mony submitted to Judge Shiras that
the woman that she would be laid up
for about year, but after that she
would be able to go about. again. Her
injuries consisted of broken hip bone,
and on these statements the woman ac-
cepted $500 and the company paid all
her doctor and nurse bills. But now, af-
ter the expiration of the year, it is
found that Miss Wilcox is helpless in
valid and will always remain so, being
unable to leave an invalid's chair. The
court. therefore, orders that the release
signed by the injured woman be set
aside, which wifi open UP a new claim
for damages against the company.

and they cure stomach troubles because
they digest the food eaten and give the
weak, abused, overworked stomach a
chance to rest and recuperate.
