Gentlemen:-
Please note the attached from Mr..
Fay.
After the cOurts had decided that
| you had delivered these : bales cotton
to the Railroad Co.. l went to New
Orleans and found where Mr.. Breaux
had sold in Spring of 1902 seven bales
of simple H" cotton weighing within
a few pounds same weight as my
seven bales of lost cotton and the
Railroad Co. has promised to refund
the amount they received for these
seven bales provided they came to
New Orleans as covers in car you
shipped my cotton from Lafayette.
The trouble is my cotton was
originally marked H with a ring
around and numbered. whereas the
seven bales received by them were
marked simple III. but this change
must have occurred with you when
shipping out. and l would thank YOU
to write me if this is correct and that
the seven bales were shipped out
marked simple III" with no numbers.
Thanking you for any assistance
you may give me in this matter, l am
Yours very truly.

The Government and Patent
Medicine Frauds.

Medicine FRAUDS.
New Orleans States. May %.
Action has been taken by the
POstoffice Department to sup
press the distribution or adver-
Using of fraudulent remedies"
through the mails, hence there
is much CONSERVATION existing
among the patent medicine
people. The move made by the
government, however, appears to
be rather belated in the light of
the fact that it has been known
for years that a great many of
the most advertised medicines
have no value whatever, while
others are actually dangerous.
But the PostOftice Department
has begun an Investigation to fix
the status of all such remedies
and when satisfied that they are
injurious, or sold under false
pretenses will stop the use of the
mails for advertising or trans
uniting them. The department
will act under the same authority
that is given it in refusing the
transmission of lottery infor-
nation.
According to a Washington
dispatch it is held that the de-
partment has power to exclude
from the mails every letter ad-
dressed to and every circular
sent out by a. concern which in
the opinion of the postmaster
general is conducting a fraudu-
lent business, and also to exclude
from the mails every newspaper
which advertises such concerns
after a fraud order concerning it
has been issued. It is further
declared that no legal proceedings
are necessary and that the
burden of proof rests on the con-
Germ forbidden to use the mails.
Analyses which have been
made under the directions of the
show that some of
the most advertised patent medi-
cines contain nothing that can be
OF service in the treatment of
for which they are sold:
some are merely ineffective and
others are positively injurious.
Regarding the testimonials of
the marvellous virtues of these
sO-called remedies which are
widely printed and circulated it
said that the alcohol which the
articles contain produces tenn
pOrry exhilaration which leads ;
the victim to believe that extra (
ordinary curative results have :
been produced. |,

hat in connection with this un-
it will push it's inquiry
