DEATH TRUST KEEPS
ANTI-T0XINE HIGH,
Medical Men Are Enraged About the
Prices.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-The Chicago
Medical Society and the Illinois State
Medical Association will, it is expect
ed, begin legal proceedings against the
anti-toXine trust under the antitrust
law. Secretary Pritchard of the health
department said to-day that he had
information to that effect.
An official statement regarding the
Death Trust" in anti-toxine was is
sued to-day by Secretary PritcharG
The statement says:
THE anti-toxine trust is nothing
more nor less than a traffic in human
life. Three concerns, which manufac-
ture and practically control the, anti
toxine supply of almost the entire
country, have seen fit arbitrarily to
advance the price Of their product 100
per cent.
1T should be noted that the increas-
ed prices quoted by the trust to the
city are the prices of the manufacture
ers to jobber. This applies not only
to Chicago but practically to the en-
tire country. The publicity already
given has aroused the medical pro-
fession to the highest indignation and
will no doubt result in some steps be-
ing speedily taken to provide a sup
ply of anti-toXine from sources other
than that of the combine"

HER VOYAGE ROUGH.
The Steamer RhOnNnin Narrowly
Escaped FOunderinR.

Halifax, N. s., Jan. 16.-Buffeted by
the mighty seas of the Atlantic all the
way from ireland to Newfoundland,
the German steamer Rhonania came
into port to-day considerably the
worse for wear.
The steamer sailed from Liverpool
on Dec. 20. and when seven days out,
encountered the first of a series of
westerly gales. The seas broke over
the vessel constantly, and one of them
went down a stoke hole, distinguishing
the fires and causing great confusion.
One of the plates on the port side was
smashed, and the shi9 from that time
on leaked continuously.
On ian. another sea boarded the
steamer and extinguished all the en-
CINE room fires. The pumps became
choked, and at one time there were six
feet of water over the cargo in the aft
er hatch. Until the fires could be re-
built the vessel wallowed in the trough
of the sea and narrowly escaped found
ering.

furniture man of Memphis says:
About a year ago ! was afflicted
with nervous spells, would worry so
over trivial things.
II went to consult one of the best
physicians in Memphis and he asked
among many questions If l drank cof-
fee.
His advice was: Go to some provis-
ion store and get a box of Postum,
drink it in place of coffee and as you
are confined to your desk to a great
extent try and get out in the open air
as much as possible / followed his
instructions regarding the Postum.
AT that time my weight was 142
and l was taking all kinds of drugs
and medicines to brace me up, but all
failed; to-day l weigh 1865, and all of
my old troubles are gone. and all the
credit is due to having followed this
wise physicians advice and cut off the
coffee and using Postum in it's place.
Il now consider my health perfect I
am willing to go before a notary pub
lie and testify that it was all due to
my having used Postum in place OF

FOODS ARE IMPURE,
Disclosures Made by the Pure Food

Lexington, Ky, Jan. 16.-Revela-

rope are made by Prof. Robert Nj. AL
len. secretary of the National Pure
Food Association. in his report made
public to-day. Mr.. Allen says:
Il learn from the authorities of the
municipal laboratories of Paris that 60
per cent. of the French wines and 80
per cent. of their champagnes are eth
er adulterations or limitations. The
wines and chamDagncs are adulterated
with new alcohol. coloring matter, and
acids deleterious to health.
1T looks from the policies being car
ried out in Germany Holland and
France, and recommendations made in
England that the use of all antiseptics
in foods is doomed. and it looks as
though the food laboratories that are
studying food authorizations regard the
use of artificial color as the means by
which most of the frauds are put on
the market"
