 'sFor nine or ten years had suffered from indigestion and chronic constipa- lion. caused by the continued use of coffee and rich, heavy, greasy foods Nv ailments made my life so wretched that I was eager to try anything that held out a promise of help. And that is how I happened to buy a package of Grape-Nuts food last spring.
 "That ended my experiments For in Grane-Nuts found exactly what wanted and needed. From the day hegan to use it I noticed an improve ment and in very few weeks found my health completely restored. My di- eestive apparatus now works perfectly and my chronic constipation has been entirely relieved.

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS.

Dr. Smiths report is a document of between 800 and 1000 words and relates
 to an examination of the stomach, it's contents, a cork found in the bottle, a
 box cover, 8 stain on a woollen blank ct and a brown tablet. The presence of morphine in the stomach was indi- cated. "The conclusions that the nor phine was probably taken in the form of preparation of opium, like lauda- mum, is not necessarily flegatived by the result for meconic acid" says the report "An examination of the urine gave a positive reaction for morphine by Froedhe's test The result of an ex- animation of the stomach was reported to the medical examiner Friday with a statement that the odor and color of the stomach contents was indicative that the morphine had been taken in the form of laudanum. The final resi- due gave typical combination of re- actions for morphine. The result of. the examination established the presence of morphine in the stomach contents in considerable quantity"

COURSE OF THE BULLET.

On following the course of the bullet wound by dissection, it was found to pass from the point of entrance into the scalp behind the left ear upward, slightly backward and inward to a point about one4half inch below the tenn poral ridge on the left side and about one and one-quarter inches posterior to a vertical line through the left external and auditory canal, where a bullet was found This had not penetrated the skull but had passed through the left temporal muscle and was found lying underneath the scalp. This was 22- calibre bullet and was much flattened. There was a blackened spot on the ex- ternal surface of the skull correspond ing in position to the bullet wound from the entrance in the anterior sur- face of the ear to the point where found was three and three-eighths inches. The bullet, insofar as could be told, had not deflected by striking the skull except that it's direction must have been some- what more inward toward the skull be- fore hitting 1t than afterwards.
 On removing the skull, liquid was found underneath the dura mater. No fracture of the skull was found There were two small areas of hemorrhagic infiltration in the pia mater over the left cerebral hemisphere. One of these areas corresponded in location with the blackened area on the external surface of the skull already mentioned. There was no hemorrhage into either lateral neutricles of the brain. Very minute reddish points, resembling hen1orrhagic infiltrations, were found in different parts of the brain substance The blood vessels at the base of the brain showed areas of thickening.

STOMACH LARGER THAN USUAL

STOMACH LARGER THAN USUAL.
 The stomach was little larger than usual. A small opening was made into 1t and the odor of it's contents noted
 This suggested strongly drug of some kind and the opening was at once closed and the stomach and contents taken for chemical analysis. This lat ter was opened by Dr. Herbert E.
 Smith in my presence, and there was no evidence of the action of an irrit- ant upon it's mucous membrane. The kidneys weighed 2S9 grains. Neither was normal, showing evidences of chronic nephritis The chemical analy- sis of the stomach contents made by Dr. Herbert E. Smith, is reported to be as showing a considerable quantity of morphine, apparently taken in the form of laudanum. The autopsy, to- gether with the chemical analysis of the stomach contents and urine shows, in my opinion, that death was due to the combined effects of the bullet wound of the head and of poisoning by laudanum, and either of these alone consider might have been sufficient to cause death. The location and direction of the bullet wound were such that it might have been self-inficted, though it was in very unusual place for this.
