BROUGHT INTOCOU
Proprietor of Salisbury Treatment
Under Arrest
FOR ILLEGAL PRACTICINC
READ not Guilty VIII be Tried Before
Justice Moulton, Mon
day

Henry Salisbury, manufacturer am
proprietor of the Salisbury treatment
was arrested Tu sday and brought in
TO Justice Moulton's court by deput,
Sheriff George w. Crawford to an
swer charge OF Illegally practicine
medicine in Ionia county. He p~ompt
ly pleaded not guilty to the indict
ment, and gave bonds in the sum OF
800 for his appearance at trial which
will occur next Monday.
DIR. Henry Salisbury and his wife
came here about six months ago and
nave done quite business i'm the
medical line through iudicious adver-
tislng, making the Salisbury system
OF treatment a speciality, and have
won considerable notoriety and sue
cess according to testimonials which
they have from time TO time publish
ed. The doctor says he doesn't pre-
tend to be practicing physician but
stands upon his right as an American
citizen TO make a liylihood out of his
ability TO prepare and sell remedy
which makes him benefactor to hu-
manity. He has engaged Attorney
Dwight Sheldon to defend the case
for him and very pretty legal battle
Will be fought. 1t is said that several
witnesses are known who will swear
that Salisbury made an examination
for their diseases and prescribed for
them, one of whom is Daniel King
who called on the doctor a few hours
before ne was arrested and had an ex-
animation of his heart. tongue and
pulse AMI afterward demanded his |
money back for medicines he had got
which had done him no good
The doctor claims this was a put up
job instigated by jealous physicians.
1t will be remembered that this city
is the home of Dr. VIM. Bell, president
of the State Medical Society before
whom the quest on of qualifications
OF alleged physicians are inyestigat-
ed and certificates granted if they
pass muster Mr. Bells business on
'HS oOhiu - ~ occ 10 IL lndt no
quack Is certified to. Mr.. Salisbury
has never made application to the
board. In conversation with him and
in reply to questions asked, Mr. Bell
said he had cautioned him to be care
ful in his method of doing business.
The case will be carefully sifted in (
court by Jury and the result will be ;
look ed forward TO with interest.

pretty effectually dispose of this deter

Protests Went Unheeded.
One day last week a couple of the
wayne county members did make an
emphatic protest against the suspen-
sion of rules for the passage of a local
bill asked for by member from the
western part of the state, but when it
was recalled that the objectors were
the beneficiaries OF the suspension on
the previous day, their protests went
unheeded. This simply goes to show
that the only way to get rid of this
burden is to amend the constitution
so that a large majority of the local
propositions can be taken care of at
home and thus kept out of the legisIa-
ture altogether.
The committee appointed by Com
mander Anthony of the Michigan G.. A.

STRUCK BY A BowLDER.
A Passenger Train on Milwaukee Road
Badly Damaged by Rock That Rolled
Down Hillside.

Prairie du Chen, Wis, March 1S.-
A northbound passenger on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road mar
rowly escaped being thrown into the
Mississippi river two miles north OF
this city yesterday by bowlder
weighing several tons that rolled
down the hillside as the train was
passing at high rate of speed. 1t
struck the trucks of the tender,
which was heavily loaded, knocking
of the wheel boxes and rolling along
with the train, tore off all the wheel
boxes and steps the entire length OF
the train, leaving only a single step
on the rear car. Fireman James
Hart, of this city, jumped. The pas
sengers were severely shaken, but no
one was injured. Trainmen for years
have been afraid of this rock, which
hung over high cliff.
