Leonard gave the following statement.
which speaks for itself:
Il am giving you the information
asked for, regarding Mr.. James Nc
Cormick, a man whom I treated on
June 4th, 1911, as we'll as his wife.
In response to call, ON the above
date. 1 found them both suffering from
severe pain in the abdomen and stom-
ach, together with diarrhoea and vom-
iting.
AS we have so many Of the cases
above mentioned 10 treat here, my can
did opinion is that thoy undoubtedly
had a disordered stomach and intesti-
nal tract before reaching our city.
They We're both bilious, and 1t would
be unreasonable 10 suppose that their
stomach and intestinal tract could
properly perform their normal func-
tions, besides the change 10 this place
as rule is so exhilarating that ones
appetite becomes ravenous, which
combined with over-exertiOn, such as
walking, will precipitate Just such con-
ditions as they experienced. Hence.
my opinion is that as stated above. /
do not think that any one kind of
food caused it, but was caused
by too much rich and greasy food.
when the stomach was not in condi-
ton to receive the same"
tSigned) L. Il. Leonard.
In presenting this statement Dr.
Leonard told our representative that
the Mccormick case did not show
ptomaine poisoning and he had not
prescribed for that ailment at all. but
for general stomach disorders.

President Taft Felt it His Duty to Prepare
s' for Possible Emergencies 4
VIII be Interference in the Mexican Fuss However,
Unless Circumstances Permit of Other Possible
CoursevC Congress Must Give Consent to Any Action
That Might be Interpreted an Act of War.

Washington, March 21.-The So
called Mexican situation cleared con-
s1derablys here today. The attitude. Of
the united States government has been
mace plain and there need no longer
De any doubt, it was stated by admin
lstration officials today, as to what
policy the president has in view
Overt Act Will Prompt Interference.
Mr.. Taft has announced that he will
DO everything possible to maintain the
friendly relations that so long have
existed between this country and Mex
lcos Any rupture of these relations
must come as the result Of some overt
act on Mexican soil. The United
States has no desire to interfere in
the Internal affairs of the southern re-
public and President Taft will not rec
commend any such interference to
congress unless the circumstances be-
come such as to permit no other pos
sible course.
Troops IN Texas for Emergency.
The American troops were sent to
Texas and prepared for any emer-
gency on the strength of reports which
indicated that conditions in Mexico
We're approaching such chaos as at
any time might threaten American
lives and property in that country.
These reports were of such a ma
ture that President Taft felt he could
quickly and hoped that by acting
quickly the threat of danger would
be stayed. He believes that to a large
extent this has been accomplished.
Soldiers Have Had Good Influence.
He believes that the presence of the
army in Texas, within striking dis
tance of the Mexican border, has had
a SOLDERING influence and that Ameri-
cans and American property will be
respected.
So long. as Americans engaged in
lawful pursuits are not molested and
SO long as American property rights
are protected, Mexico need not be
alarmed by the reports of an Ameri-
can invasion which have been spread
in; various quarters by irresponsible
persons.
Must Have Consent Of Congress.
There will be no move toward the
Mexican border unless outrages so fla
grant as to call for the presence of a
protecting force occurs. Even in the
eventsof such an outbreak President
Taft would not think of acting with
out the consent of congress. The linn
sitationS upon the power of the presi-
dent to commit an act that might be
interpreted as an act of war are SO
we'll defined that Mr.. Taft has been
amused at many of the reports as to
what he proposed to do with the ar
my after it was mObilized. The presi-
dent has regarded it as the height of
absurdity for him to make an Official
announcement that he would not act
without the consent of congress.
Duty to Prepare for Emergency.
