Democratic State Central Committee.

The Democratic State Central Com

Like its predecessors, it was remarkable
for the absolute harmony existing among
the "inS' and the absence of nearly all
the advertised special features. The
meeting itself was largely perfunctory.
rs was natural, because the county mcnl-
hcrS had little interest III the matter,
further than to ratify the wants of the
City members. The main object was, of
course. to name II Campaign Committee
for the Mayoralty fight. and this com

SUIT FOR $4,000
Wood Alcohol In Jamaica
Ginger Caused Blindness
"Dr." George Brehm, of Rowlandville,
Cecil County, Was the Vlctim-Case
Has Occupied Attention of Superior
Court at Baltimore All This Week.

The suit of DIR" George Brchm. of
Rowlandvillc. this county. against John
j. Gilbert and William f.. Gilbert trad
ing as Gilbert Bros. druggists, of Balti-
more in which DR.. Brchm claimed $50
600 damages, occupied the attention OF
the Supreme Court of Baltimore most II
this week. DR.. Brchm claimed the dam
ages for loss of "yesight, which he says
was caused by drinking jamaica Ginger
alleged to have been prepared by Gilbert
Bros. and which he alleges contained
wood alcohol, deadly poison, instead Of
the pure article of which essences are
generally made.
Dir. Brchm is totally blind. and was
mace so. he says. in July. 1898, by drink
ing three bottles of the essence diluted
with water. The three bottles were
taken at intervals of two hours between
drinks and the after effects occurred the
following day.
Dr. Brchm was the first witness placed
on the stand. and he was subjected To 4
rigid crOsS-cXnmination, The physician
had been accustomed to drinking essences
of different kinds containing alcohol, and
always had II stimulating effect, such rs
brought on by whiSkcy. These three
bottles, however. he said, did not have

DELVED INTO THE PLAINTIFFS
PAST.

When Dir. Brchm had finished his
direct examination. he was taken i'll
hand by Attorney John +. Poe. one of
the lawyers for the defense. who. by his
crosS-eXaminaton. attempted To delvc
into the Eastern ShOrcmanS past, and
make him appear in most uncnYiablc
position. The lawyer tried to show that
DIR. Brehm was not Il regularly deceased
physician. which was admitted in Il quail
flied manner by the witness. His knowl-
edge of medicine. he said. was acquired
in Il practical way on the Eastern shore.
He was accused by the attorney of fur
niShiug subjects for the MarylanI nj
vcrsty Medical School, and he admitted
furnishing some such material, which,
however. was purely in the interest of
science. He was asked point-blank if at
one time he had not shipped II dead
body from the Eastern Shore to the
medical and the box in which it was
shipped labeled "oystcrS," but this the
physician absolutely denied. He was
asked if he did not state to the hospital
officials when he arrived there for treat
mcnt that he had started on II spree by
drinking three pnts of whiskey. and had
cd off with the Jamaica Ginger.
LUCKY HE WAS LIVING.
According To the testimony of DR..
Reid Hunt. of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. DIR. Brchm was lucky TO live to
tell the tale of the three doses Of jana
lea Ginger which he took on that July
afternoon, in 1898. were actually pre-
pared with mcthyl or wood alcohol DR..
Hunt was on the stand rs an expert rs
TO the effect of mcthyl or wood alcohol
upon animal life when taken internally.
He said that wood alcohol was an ac-
tive poison, proving fatal when given i'll
repeated doses. usually causing blindness
and other distressing symptoms. Prob
ably the most interesting portion of his
testimony was his account of his expert
ments upon dogs.
DIR. Hunt had procured two healthy
canine specimens TO one weighing ISL
Kilograms (about II pounds he gave al
grains of methyl or wood alcohol in 1G1
grains of water. After the dog had re-
ccived five doses. he WAS permitted Ia
try to get well. but he died on the ninth
day.
y.
Kilograms (about II pounds, he gave
3 90.5 grains Of methyl or grain alcohol
1!Ehis was the same amount per pound Of
dog as the other dog received But i'll
the second case the animal actually got
fat on its alcoholic diet.
PURCHASED AT SALISBURY.
g.a,Dr Brehm alleged that he purchase
the three bottles of Jamaica Ginger from
Il merchant in Salisbury, Md. The mer
chant also testified that he sold the ar
ticles and that he purchased them from
Gilbert Bros. of Baltimore.
Tue most important point scored by
DR. George A. Brehm. was in the tes
timony of Mr.. Howard l.. Andrews, OF
"Wednesday The witness was a mixer
for Gilbert Bros. & Co., from 1897 unit
1900, and he in all probability mixed the
essence of Jamaica Ginger which DR.
Brehm took in 1893. and which, he says

Mr.. Yancey has been engaged

employs high values have been
