A Retraction.

From July number Ladies' Home Journal"
In the May number of The Ladies'
Home Journal we published, in the art
icle entitled 1.-THE Patent-Medicine'
Curse, an analysis of Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, in which that
preparation was represented as contain
ing, among other ingredients, tincture of
digitalis, tincture of opium and alcohol.
Immediately upon publication of the
number suit for damages was institut-
ed by The r. V. Pierce Medical Com
pany, of Buffalo, New York, proprietors
of the preparation in question, against
The Curtis Publishing Company, based
upon the claim that none of the three
ingredients was contained in the medi-
cine.
Upon the filing of the suit, we, Of
course, Immediately looked into the pub
lished analysis. 1t appears that this
particular analysis had been made, if
made at all, fully twenty. five years ago.
We, thereupon, employed three leading
chemists in different cities to make an
analysis of the preparation from bottles
bought in the open market These
analysis, one and all, now show to us
conclusively that not single one Of the
ingredients mentioned by us in the
analysis quoted-thatis, either digitalis,
opium or alcohol-was contained in the
bottles analysed. We then-the presi-
dent of this company and the writer
personally visited The R. V. Pierce Med
ical Company, at Buffalo and were there
convinced that the officers of the COM
pany were absolutely truthful in their
claim that not one of these injurious in
gradients was contained in Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription Natur-
ally, since the analysis we printed has
been proved erroneous, the deductions
made in connection with this prepare
tion were unwarranted and unfounded.
Under these circumstances it is now
perfectly plain to us that this magazine
was unintentionally, but nevertheless
absolutely misled in making the origin
al statement, and we hereby, of our own
volition, make this unqualified acknowl-
edgement of our mistake to The R. V.
Pierce Medical Company and to our
readers
The mistake was honestly made but it
Was.a mistake.

MUSIC IN COURT.
Occasions When Melody Decided
Questions mt Law.


Questions at Law.
On one occasion all who were pres
ent in the court of justice at Berlin
had the great pleasure Of listening to
free performance by Professor Joachim,
the famous violinist. 1t appeared from
the evidence that dealer in musical
instruments was charged with cheat
ing a customer by representing that a
violin which he offered for sale at
S125 was an instrument that could be
played. The great professor was call
ed in as an expert witness, and, taking
up the impugned instrument, he pro-
ceeded to play upon it. Under his
magic fingers 1t really sounded like a
violin. but in few moments, much to
the regret o1his listeners, the maestro
laid the INSTRUMENT down with an ev-
dent air OF contempt. But he had Sc
cured the accused's acquittal.
The great tenor Mario once had to
give free exhibition of his magnif-
cent vocal power in court in order TO
gain freedom for himself. He had
been arrested in Madrid in mistake for
q mischievous political agitator and in
vain proclaimed his identity to the
powers that be. Finally he was told
that if he really was the famous sing
er his voice was certain means Of
convincing the court of the truth Of
his claim. For seven or eight min
utes Mario held all within hearing
spellbound, and he was then allowed
to take his departure, with profuse
apologies for his arrest and detention.

The position taken by the republicans
of Michigan, that they will go as far in
the advocacy and adoption of direct
voting or primary reform as any
other northern state and will advance
as rapidly as results satisfactory to all
the people of the state will warrant, is
a position that would be deemed reason
able and wise if the good of the state
and the well being of the republican
party were the purposes sought by the
most aggressive and noisy representa-
tives of the self-styled 'reformers. =
Most of them are actuated by personal
and political purposes that are not re-
ferred to in connection with their boist-
erous demands for immediate reform -

 The myshfying appearances and sudden disappearances of MT. Cortelyou, who, according to crediblee reports. Is in Phll- adelphia, Newark, Hampstead, L. l., Washington, Sagamore Hlll.

Cortelyou's vagrant course Is intelligible if 1t be the purpose of the new republican chairman to abandon all previous methods of party management and, instead of maintaining permanent headquarters, to carry on the campaign in the saddle, attacking the democratic enemy at odd unexpected points and shielding and screening his real whereabouts by publications which could not be more thoroughly misleading if they were telegraphed from Che Foo.
