defied the skill of the best physicians

his failure to find relief at leading
health resorts.
Mr.. SCOTS voluntary statement has
the true ring of sincerity and graft

the most remarkable ever given in
connection with proprietary medi-
cine.
MI. Scott's letter was addressed to
G. F. Moss, a we'll known druggist Of
Benson, Ariz., who has the Tanlac
agency for that town, and was for
warded by Mr.. Moss to the Tanlac
offices in Atlanta. His letter follows:

After going down to one hundred

light for a six-footer-I kept getting
worse until couldn't move, even to
feed myself, had no desire to eat and
couldn't sleep more than two hours
night. Some of the officials Of the
mine, Of which / am foreman, would
call to see me, then go out and say,
"poor old Scott has fired his last
man. MY wife thought | would never
get out of bed alive, and she knew
my condition better than anybody else.

wife ordered a bottle of Tanlac from

States District Court, as the govern
mentp now controlling the railroads,
has jurisdiction over such cases.
Pearson and Linderman, the
former the proprietor and the latter
the MANAGER of the Star Cloak and
Suit Co., were bound over to the next
term of the superior court, on bonds
of $4,000, last week. Probable cause
was found by Judge James T. Meskill,
their store on Main street. Evidence
presented by Miss Agnes Sinskie of
Pennington avenue "a former clerk in
the store, as we'll as the findings of
Sergeant Richardson we're damaging.
Kerosene oil cans and remOVed parti-
tons in which oil soaked rags had
been inserted figured prominently in
the case. Bonds were furnished and
the two are out on bail. The bonds
were raised $500 in each case this
morning.
1t is charged that Linderman bought
the communication ticket, and allowed
Pearson to use it with him. Under
man lives in New Haven, where he
conducts a branch Of his local store,
and leaves most of the work Of
management Of the local store to
Pearson. Pearson is forced by bust
ness to make frequent trips to New
Haven and made use of the cOmmuta-
ton ticket it is said. The case will
come up for trial on Friday morning
at $3.50.
