WOMAN WHO TOOK
B|CHLOR|DE SAVED
Harrisburg Physicians Effect Re-
markable Cure; She Swallow
ed 6S Grains

That the remarkable recovery of
Mrs. Mary Sweitzer. the woman at the
Harrisburg Hospital who will be dis
charged tomorrow, saved from slow
death by bichloride of mercury poi
soning, Is unusual is shown by the
experiences of physicians at the Epis-
| copal Hospital, in Philadelphia, where
| q woman died Wednesday thirty seven
days after taking five grains Of the
poison.
Mrs. Sweitzer's life was saved by the
| use of milk and eggs as q stomach
wash. She had taken sixty-eight grains
of the poison with suicidal intent. At
! the hospital, after the usual treatment
to remove poison had been used, DR..
William E. Curtin thought of using
| milk. He was surprised to find that
much of the poison had remained in
the stomach after the first treatment.
He followed up this treatment with
the Use of a stimulant which kept the
kidneys from paralyzing. The woman
/ will be discharged tomorrow with her
strength restored. All traces of the
poison and its effects have been re-
moved.
In Philadelphia Miss Emily Bird,
| 80 years old, took a five-grain tablet
of bichloride in mistake. She was re-
moved at once to the Episcopal Hos
pital. but efforts to save her life were
unavailing and she fingered along for
| thirty-seven days. Despite the efforts
of physicians, headed by DR.. George
Morris Piersol, the five-grain tablet
| taken by the woman in mistake for a
headache tablet proved fatal. For the
| first three weeks the woman suffered
| untold agony, accentuated by the fact
that she knew for certainty that her
end was near.
Immediately after the poison was
taken-on the night of February g
| Miss Bird ran from her bedroom,
] shrieking: Mother! I've taken poison.
and l know l won't get better"
Up to the time of her death Miss
Bird maintained a stole calm, and al
| though she was aware that she had not
| long to live. she remained cheerful
and tried to encourage her relatives,
some of whom were continually at her
| bedside.
| Miss Bird read all of the daily pa
| pers with avidity and conversed and
| joked with the physicians on current
topics. The night before she died the
| young woman asked for copy of q
leading magazine and read with evil
dent interest an article on the Panama
Canal.
II know I am not going to live
] much longer" she said to her nurse
| one day last week, "but. keep up
mothers spirits and tell Jack and
LaVerne not to worry. I am all right
and | suffer practically no pain. All !
desire Is to know for q fact that the
folks at home are convinced that am
not suffering"

QUICKLY ENDS THE
WORST BACKACHE
Makes Kidney Troubles, Bladder
Disorders, and Rheumatic
Pains Vanish

1t is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backaching, kid
ney trouble, have disagreeable blad-
der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheumatism,
stiff joints, and it's heart
pains, for the new discovery, Crox-
one, quickly and surely relieves oil
such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is entirely DIFF
ferent from all other remedies. It Is
not like anything else ever used for
the purpose. 1t acts on the principle
of cleaning out the poisons and re-
moving the cause.
1t soaks right in through the walls
membranes and Innings, like water In
a sponge, neutralizes, djssolves, and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neys and urinary. organs clean, strong,
healthy, and we'll.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
you have used, the very principle of
Croxone is such, that it is practically
impossible to take 1t into the human
system without results. There Is
nothing else on earth like it. 1t starts
to work the minute you take it and
relieves you the first time you use 1t.
If you suffer with pains in your
back, and sides, or have any signs of
kidney, bladder troubles, or rheuma-
tism. such as puffy swellings under the
eyes or in the feet and ankles, IL you
are nervous, tired and run down, or
bothered with urinary disorders, Crox-
one will quickly relieve you of your
misery. You can secure an original
package of CroXone at trifling cost
from any first class druggist. All
druggists are authorized to personally
return the purchase price If 1t fails
in a single observation-disclosures

SUFFRAG|STS ARE
NOT DISCOURAGED
BY LATEST DEFEAT
Women Are Already Preparing to
Renew Their Fight For
Amendment
ARRANGE BIG DEMONSTRATION
Reports From Various Organizers
Show Deep Interest Through
out Country
ARRANGE BIG DEMONSTRATION

Washington, d. c., March 2O.-Ad-
Vocates of woman suffrage to-day de-
clared that they were not discouraged
because they lost their fight in the
United States Senate yesterday to Sc
cure the adoption of an amendment to
the federal Constitution extending the
right of suffrage to women. The Sem
ate voted 35 for the amendment to "a
against 1t, twi-thirds affirmative vote
iheing necessary for passage. Suffrage
leaders were pointing to-day to the
majority of one vote in favor of the
amendment as proof that their cause
had scored triumph in defeat and
was far stronger than it's opponents
had ever been willing to admit. They
profess to see in the action of the
Senate only a temporary setback in
their fight and express the belief that
woman suffrage would eventually
come. They were hoping to-day that
the Senate would reconsider it's action
before the close of the present session.
Will Renew Fight
Despite their defeat, suffrage lead
ers were prepared today to renew their
fight. 1t was announced to-day they
would support the proposed amend
ment of Senator Shafroth, of Colorado.
The senator endeavored to offer his
amendment yesterday, and though un-
successful, will introduce it later. This
amendment would require each State
10 vote on the question of extending
the right of suffrage to women upon
petition of per cent. of its voters
The National American Woman Suf-
Hrage Association announced to-day,
Through Mrs. Medill Mccormick chair
man of its congressional committee,
that it would support the new amend
Snent. Suffrage sentiment in the Sen
ate" said Mrs. Mccormick, 'is strong
enough to warrant us in renewing our
efforts to secure national legislation
and the amendment proposed by SEN
ator Shafroth will meet many of the
objections raised during the debate in
the Senate and the cause of suffrage
will be far advanced If we can secure.
Favorable action on this resolution
during the present session.
Plan Big Demonstration
Suffrage leaders were also going for
ward to-day with their plans for the
big woman suffrage demonstration
here May 8. They said to-day that
0,000 women would take part I'm the
parade and that it promises to be the
most beautiful and spectacular process
sion that has ever taken place. No
effort Is being spared to make it an
artistic affair.
The Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage, under whose auspices a
nationwide demonstration will be held
May 2, announced to-day that advices
received from organizers in the field
showed that the deepest interest is be-
ing shown in the proposed demon
stration.

Albany, N. Y, March 20.-The po-
lice System" has killed the Goethals
police bills and in consequence there
is no hope of the canal builder being
New York city's police commissioner.
The system brought pressure to
bear upon the city legislators, threat
ening reprisals at the next primaries.
and as a result the Mitchell measures
are doomed. The mayor is averse to
amendments; the Senate will not
bother with the measure unless the
Assembly passes them. and so Mitchell
has felt the sting of his first defeat.
