ACTRESS TO SPARE
NONE in TESTIMONY
Edith ST. Clair to Involve
Prominent Persons
Jerome a Witness.

The true story of the various events
in her case is promised in the trial OF
Edith St. Clair. the actress, who Is
charged with perjury, when she takes
the stand tomorrow in her own de-
fence before Justice Davis in the Grim
inal Branch of the Supreme Court. Ac-
cording to one of her lawyers, Alfred
Frankenthaler, her endurance has been
taxed to the limit Her story, ne says
will involve a number of prominent
persons.
William Travers Jerome, who was at
torney for Abraham l.. Granger IN tne
suit Miss st. Clair brought against MIN,
testified Yesterday that the atildaylt IN
which she is alleged 10 have perJureo
herself was made in his office. The am
davit charged Max ID. Steuer, her attor-
ney. with subornation Of perjury. by
means of the perjury she claims ne IN,
duced her to commit she was awarded
verdict against Erlanger, Wnich
amounted TO S22,500.
"The affidavit was prepared in my OF
fee on May T." said Mr.. Jerome. Il
read il TO her and she signed her
name"
Mr.. Jerome said that he was in
formed that Miss st. Clair would be at
his Office May 2. and that he later re
quested a Mr.. Fischal, an attorney Of
Erlanger's, TO call at his Office. He said
that he made point of asking Fischal
whether or not Miss st. Clair had been
offered any inducements to make any
statement TO the counsel OF the man
she recently sued. Fischal assured him,
he said, that he knew nothing Of any
inducements.
"Did you not consider the situation
Of her calling on you very eXtraordi-
nary?" asked Benjamin Slade, who is
conducting the case.
81 realized that the situation was
most delicate" answered Mr. Jerome,
adding that for that reason he had in
structed one of his stenographers 10
remain in the room during the confer
ence and take down part of what was
said.
Did she impress you as being con-
science stricken ?"
"Yes." Mr. Jerome said. "She told me
that she felt she had done great
wrong, and that she was unable 70
sleep at nights because of her remorse.
After | understood the state of mind
she was in | instructed the stenog-
rapher not to take the entire conversa-
ton"
A large part of yesterdays session
was taken up with the reading of eX-
cerpts from Miss St. Clair's previous
testimony and her afldavits. Accord
ing TO Assistant District Attorney Man
ley the case will probably take three
days more before it is given over to the
jury.

medicines worthy Of the name" said
Mr.. Wilbert, and in this class quack
patent medicines are not included
"must Of necessity be harmful when
rnisapplied or when used for any con-
siderable length Of time without due
apureciation Of their possible second
arv influences and the chronic derange-
ments that may follow in their wake.
Headache "cureJ"- which are moth
ing but deadly, habit-formlng, heart
depressants- and patent medicines con.
tanning strychnine, opium, cocaine ana
their derivatives, arsenic and other
poisonous metals, and these widely ad-
vertised laxatIves containing powerful
drugs. all leave their evil effects When
used promiscuously.
Almost any organic disease capable
Of being produced by the continued use
OF drugs besets the patent medicine
"fend." ,
While the laws permit the sale or
patent medicines, most OF them con
tanning deadly, habit-forming drugs
some safeguards should be thrown
around the public Physicians and
others who have studied the evil be-
lieve that none Of these dangerous
drugs should be sold except on a ply
sician's prescription.
While patent medicines are permit
ted to be sold, however, and people IN
sist on running their health by using
them, those who have the health OF
the community at stake at least ought
TO compel the patent medicine makers
to publish in plain English on the labels
Of their nostrums the quantities and
qualities of the ingredients of the MKT
ures and file their formula with the
boards of health in the cities and
towns in which they are sold. But this
in itself would not be enough. Only a
law, sweeping and drastic, like the law
in the Philippine Islands, will put an
end to the quackery.

In this article Mr.. Wilbert. VIII Is
described as technical assistant, d.

Health Service, estimates that 100000
persons die annually in the United

"The mortality statistics compiled
by the Census Bureau show that there
has been an increase of more than lOo
per cent in the deaths from diseases OF
the kidneys, heart and blood vessels
during the last thirty years
Speaking of the effects OF intoxica,,
tions caused by alcohol, tobacco ana
narcotic drugs, Mr.. Wilbert says tnelI
harmfulness is generally known ana
some effort has been made TO COMBAT

But one important source OF poison

Population
~ Tfnffed

From the forC-oi-g table II Will
be seen that while the increase IN
population in the United States in the
thirty wears ended in 1910 was little
more than SO per cent the value OF
patent medicines manufactured in
creased more than 740 per cent. In
other words, while the population was
less than doubled in thirty years, the
value Of the patent medicine industry
increased ninefold.
Last year the drugs and chemicals
imported into this country, most OF
which went into the manufacture OF
patent medicines, according to the
United States customs returns, were
valued at more than S1O0,000,000.
"The amount of money expended an
nually for drugs and medicines in this
country is out of all proportion to the
real needs or requirements Of the peo-
pie" said Mr. Wilbert, "and to this ex-

EFFICIENCY STRIKE ENDS
Bagmakers Claim Victory in
Brooklyn Contest.

Miss Rose Schneiderman, organizer
of the Women's Trade Union League.
reported yesterday that a strike Of bag
makers in the factory of the Kent Com
pany, 44th St, Brooklyn, against a 35
per cent reduction in wages, in which
the league took an active interest, has
been settled. The strikers will cele-
brate the event tonight by a dance in
Prospect Hall, 261 Prospect av., Brook
Ign. The strikers make burlap and
other bags for merchandise. The cut
in wages, she said, followed the en-
ployment of an efficiency engineer by
the firm.

Deaths from Heart and
Kidney Diseases Gain 100
Per Cent in 80 Years.
100000 DIE YEARLY,
SAYS FEDERAL EXPERT
Since 1879 Patent Med
icine Industry Has In
creased Ninefold.

The American people spend annually
$500, 100000 in medicines Most Of this
money goes into the hands Of dishonest
patent medicine manufacturers. And
as a result most medicine users-those
who dose" or dope" themselyes-sr
injured, some Of them permanently, by
the promiscuous use Of these nostrums.
The United States government Is
authority for the above statements.
The United States government has re-
allied the evils attendant upon the
promiscuous use Of these quack medi-
cines, and has practically put stop to
their sale-in the Philippine Islands
Incidentally, the government has put
stop to the sale Of all patent medi-
oines containing alcoholic Indians.
The average American citizen will
wonder why his government will not
exercise the same degree of protection
toward him as II will toward its wards.
He can rightfully ask why beneficial
law that will end ouackery in the
Philippine Islands and law that pre-
vents the sale of alcohol in the form
of patent medicines 10 Indians could
not also be put into application in the
United States.
perhaps the answer is.' said one
eminent physician TO the reporter for
The Tribune, ''that the patent medicine
interests represent an invested capital
estimated at s3OO.OOO.OOO. and they
know ways Of reaching the ears Of
legislators
Millions Paid to Quacks.
Whatever the answer is. the fact Is
that the patent medicine interests.
