COLUMBUS.-A few "jim crow" Negroes, here are hoping that the new Republican mayor and council, will provide a "jim crow" engine house to be manned by them. Some years ago the city had a chemical house manned by colored firemen, but when the district grew sufficiently large to make an engine house necessary, the chemical house was destroyed by fire and firemans with districts to patrol, a duty they are still employed in. There is enough segregation here now, including a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. and separate schools for our children, to satisfy any one except selfish "jim crow" Negroes.

AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT
President Scarborough Confiden There Will be no Breach Between the Schools.
NENTA, O.-That President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University is confident of an amicable settlement of the controversy between the University proper and the state normal and industrial department, which has been causing a bitter fight, and which resulted in a legislative investigation of the department, was expressed in a statement made public by the educator last Friday.
"I am confident that there will be no legislation looking to a separation of the State Normal and Industrial Department and the University," said President Scarborough following a visit to Columbus, Thursday, at which time he called upon a number of commissioners who he said did not give out the source of his information, he seemed assured that the matter would be dropped immediately and that there would be no special legislative committee by the Gover-
President W. S. Scarborough
nor and instructed by him to study conditions at Wilberforce. The controversy, which had been of three years standing, necessitated state interference, it is alleged, and caused the legislative committee to investigate the condition early in the fall. The fight was bitter between the university proper, which is owned and maintained by the A. M. E. Church, and the Normal and Industrial department, which is maintained by the state. A squabble over students, during which it is alleged by defenders of the University that the Normal and industrial Department coaxed students of the former department to become residents of Ohio for a year, so they could attend the state department free of charge, was the point of which the governor's message it is said to plan of the investigation committee, to be separate the two departments, making the Normal and Industrial department on an equal with the university, and making the head of the former department; president, on an equal footing with the head of the university. The A. M. E. Church, and backers of the university, held that the result would be that the Normal and industrial department would gradually crowd out the university, and it was on this plea that they based their fight against the separation.

An Adopted Child of a Pittsburgh
Millionaire Remembered Handsomely
Pittsburgh, Pa.—A sensation was caused in local courts here, recently, when Marshall & Marshall, attorneys for the Denison relatives, asked for a postponement of the Denison-Brooks estate case, and announced they would seek a settlement out of court. The amount involved in the suit is $75,000, that sum being left to Mrs. Cora Nigora Brooks by Wm. A. Denison (white), a Pittsburgh millionaire, retired oil broker and member of the Chicago Stock Exchange, who died in December, 1918.
Gets Liberty Bonds
About two days before Denision expired he called in a justice of the peace, his lawyer and one witness, and executed a transfer of $70,000 in bonds and securities to Mrs. Cora Nelson Brooks, who was adopted in the Denision home by the deceased at the age of 18. He felt everlastingly grateful for faithful service reedited him during his serious illness.
Makes Woman Gift
Deniston also gave Mrs. Brooks a large sum of money in bills before his death, and when relatives of the deceased learned this they sought the advice of attorneys to regain possession of the money. It developed that division of his real estate was announced, giving Mrs. Brooks one-third and cutting his sister and niece off with $1 each.
Competency Questioned
The question involved in the case was the competency of the deceased broker to transact business at the time he executed the transfer of the Liberty bonds and made the verbal gift of cash and jewelry to Mrs. Brooks, who was not of his race, nor his relative.

Prof. Neville H. Thomas' Talk On Justice and Civil Rights for Our People
"Hot Shot" for the President, Attorney General, and Postmaster General —THOMAS, A MAN!
Special to The Gazette
Washington, D. C.—The Afro-American has been in this country as long as the (composite) Ancho-Saxon (white man.) He has helped in proportion to his numbers to make it the great and powerful nation that it is. He pays taxes, he chews its laws, he sheds his blood to defend it. Yet he is denied his civil rights almost everywhere in the hand. He does not enjoy the liberty he has earned. The crisis has come to him. He must demand his rights. He must fight for them. He must appeal for aid to the millions of white men in America who love justice enough to give him his due.
The foregoing is the gist of a speech entitled "Agitation, the Social Lever of the World" made by Prof. Neville H. Thomas, teacher of Greek and Roman history in Dunbar High School, at a meeting in Plymouth Cong. Church, last week Tuesday night.
Discusses President's Attitude. The attitude of President Thomas toward civilization of the Colored citizen was sharply criticized by the speaker, who described Postmaster General Burleson as the "ignorant autocrat of the Post Office Department, said to have some interest in a peonage farm in Texas," and who exorciated Attorney General Palmer and Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
"Discrimination is being practiced against the Afro-American today by everybody, the president, the lawyer, and the man. We have got to agitate without thought of personal sacrifice in order to win justice. Remember, freemen throughout history have won no rights without fighting for them. The business of leaching Afro-Americans has got to be stopped, and it is going to be stopped. We must win the right to patronize the best, restaurants, theaters and hotels and to enjoy the transportation conveniences. Until we do, we bear the stamp of inferior beings. And when you are considered an inferior being, you will be called "innings."
Quarter Sonata Document
quotes secreta
Reading from Senate document No. 158, a communication sent to the Capitol by the Attorney General on the subject of "Negro Radicalism," the speaker criticised that official for con-
Pref. George Wm. Cook
sidering as lawless those colored people who agitate, and for failing to prosecute the lawless mobs that lynch Afro-Americans.
"Remember the Attorney General is your servant and mine. He wants to keep the Afro-American from hollering when he is kicked. We have a cure for mob violence against us. It is armed resistance. By that it not mean armed aggression, but instead we must defend with the same vigor our black heroes displayed in storming the heights near Metz in the great war. Every man must make his home his castle and defend it with his life."
It is the duty of the northern Afro-American to teach his southern brother to demand and secure the free use of the vote, Mr. Thomas asserted. The colored man of the south must be able to enjoy the best of accommodations.
Soes Attempt at Suppression.
"The Attorney General and the Senate upheld up to 24 hours determined to get their civil rights," he continued. The declaration was rewarded with hearty applause. "Every time the authorities press one man who agitates they make a thousand converts to the cause. They are deporting men for agitation, but they are not deporting their ideas. Bol-

chism can't be suppressed with force, but it can be met successfully with true democracy."
The speaker repeatedly paid grateful tribute to the French people for their attitude of fraternity toward the colored American soldier. He said America is the only one of twenty-seven nations represented at the
Hon. Jartes, Weldon Johnson
peace table that draws the color line.
"While Wilson preached democracy there," he declared, "our 300-odd representatives in the peace conference knew that in America the Afro-American citizen was suffering under the cruelest autocracy that ever cursed the world. But we must make it clear to the world that we don't want social association. We want the white man to know that we have no desire to marry his daughter or visit him in America. We want to co-operate with the white citizen in making America a real democracy. Just plain justice is all we ask."
In conclusion the speaker bitterly assaulted race segregation in the government departments. The exclusion of our people from the government navy and military academies was a target, for red-hot rhetoric. "Yes, despite President Wilson's bombast on democracy," he finished, "we have none here." S. M. Kendrick, a deacon in the church, presided, and made a brief address supporting the attitude of the principal speaker, as do our loyal, intelligent, manly and womanly people.
Urge U. S. Anti-Lynching Law
Representatives of colored uplift organizations appearing before the House Judiciary Committee, last week Thursday, declared that if all efforts failed in the endevor to protect their people from lynching, that "we must fight for our rights." The Judiciary Committee is holding hearings on three bills designed to make lynchings offense. When the constitutionality of such legislation is questioned by one of the members of the committee, our representatives insisted that the bill be passed and the courts be alloyed to pass upon its constitutionality. The U. S. Supreme Court has already decided this.
"If the Supreme Court decided it to be unconstitutional," one of them said, "then we will press for an amendment to the Constitution. If that fails, we will have to fight for our rights."
This is exactly what we will have to do or secure state legislation like that of Ohio and Illinois.
Those who testified at the hearing included Capt. Arthur B. Spingarn, vice president of the N. A. A. C. P.; James Weldon Johnson, Ex. U. S. Consul to Nicaragua; Archibald G. exku, Ex. U. S. Consul to Santo Domingo; Domingos, of Dunbarton High School; Prof. Goumars, Cook of Howard University; William Monroe Trotter, of Boston, representing the National Equal Rights League, and Miss Esther Morton Smith, representing the Religious Society of Friends of Philadelphia. The three bills designed to prevent lynchings were introduced by Representatives Dyer, of Missouri, Dallinger of Massachusetts and Moores of Indiana. The S. S. U.S. Court decided to, making clear the right of the several states only to legislate against mob violence and lynching makes a "serap of paper" of all such bills in Congress.

ADMIRAL ‘SIMS PERFORMS
A DUTY
Up until the time when Admiral
Sims, fighting old-seadog tuat he is,
cut loose with some mighty interest-
ing inforination, the people of this
country Were stiug arid seeure in the
notion that-they had about the finest
nav Afloat ard that the boastful ef-
finviti which poured forth from the
vocal regions of one Orange blossom
Daniély teally eminated from a solid
foundation. Also, how sudden the
awakening atid how eruel the blow!
It im quite apparent that there has
been-but one country int the world that
dicirt khow the true condition of our
navy and’ that was our own. There
fare those who think Admiral Sims has
been itidisereet and undiplomatie in
the thimier in which he has revealed
the inside dope regarding his instruc-
tons‘daring the war as well as his ex-
pert’ opinion ‘upon the mutter of
awards. This may be trae but we do
not atee. If he was told that “we
‘would just as soon fight Gfeat Br
tain as Germany” the people of this
country should know it and not be led
blindly on, even though it only be un-
til next March. ‘The significant fact
‘in the whole nasty affair is the evas-
jive way in which Mr. Danielé treats
‘this particular phase of the matter.
He denies flatly that he, personally,
ever gave such instructions but he
fee NOT deny that they were given.
Admiral Sims has performed a ser-
vice to his country in making’ public
this astounding fact. He can be of an
even greater service and he probubly
‘will. Who gave those instructions,
which came after diplomatic relations
had been broken between this country
and Germany, and why was he not re-
moved at once by Mr. Daniels? If
Admiral Sims can answer that ques-
tion, Josephiis Daniels will then be

rons Serene
MOST NEGRO EDITORS
One Chandler Owens wrote a criti-
|ciam of Roscoe Conkling Simmons, re-
‘cently, in which he took occasion to
say that “most of the Negro editors
are ignorant” because presumably
“among ignorant’ Negro editors ‘Sim-
mons is reputed to be an orator.”
Since this last has never heen true in
the case of The Gazette, and many
}other race publications, we fie au
little euriois to know what the Chi-
‘cago Defender and others of the race
press, guilty of so styling Simmons,
think about Owens and his silly ex-
}position of an over-weening conceit.
‘Of course no one but a person clear-
ly what Owens shows himself to be
‘would say that “most of the Negro
jeditors are ignorant.” If foolish
jenough to even’ think so, one certainly
would not jublish it and, too, over his
‘own sighatré. ‘This reminds us of &

for six, months without any wage at

bad, and there was no hopg for the

legislation had worked wonders. Al-
though they had not yet been able to

markable degree, and to place the
workers on a better footing as re-

democratic government and indus-

That is good news Representative Beetham sends the Gazette thru its Cadiz representative—"there is to be no change at Wil伯force." This is the decision of the joint committee of the Ohio senate and house of representatives that made the investigation recently and it is a very proper one. Its members were quick to see that all the "hullabaloo" kicked up in race newspapers by Ohio's "junkers" (Negroes) the result of petty abuse and spite work. If conditions at the university needed attention there was a better way to go about securing it than appealing to the Ohio legislature. This Representative Beaty should have recognized and told the same trouble-makers, "junkers," that induced him (rather forced him, so he wrote the Gazette) to introduce the unnecessary and iminal Beaty bill intended to amend our Ohio Civil Rights law and practically ruin it. He should have because of the pressure he faced and saved himself and the race from some very unpleasant experiences that are not going to prove helpful if not very harmful.

THE GAZETTE, CLÉ YELAND, OHIO, FEBRUARY 7. 1920
EIGHTEEN TONS OF MORPHIA WERE TAKEN INTO THAT COUNTRY WITHIN TWELVE MONTHS.
BOSTON, Massachusetts — Information from China, which has reached this city through the Chinese press and Dr. John C. Ferguson, adviser to the President of China, indicates that Japanese are importing morphin in large quantities into China, particularly into Shantung, and that they are deriving enormous profits from its sale.
The Chinese Government has tried to stop the drug traffic, having even gone so far as to buy a large stock of drugs at Shanghai, which was burned in order to prevent its sale. However, information which has reached Dr. Ferguson and the Chinese press contains direct charges that no less than 18 tons of morphin were taken into Japan within the 18 months after gold that they impersonally, mainly Japanese, made a profit approximating 80s. on each 18s. of investment.
"That morphia trade still flourishes," writes an investigator whose report appeared last winter. "It is a larger trade now than it was in 1913. Morphia, however, can no longer be purchased in Europe. The seat of the industry has been transferred to Japan and morphia is now manufactured by the Japanese themselves. Although Japan is signatory to the agreement which forbids the importation into China of morphia or of any apples used in the traffic, it is not apples used in the traffic, inasmuch as it has the financial support of the Bank of Japan. It is carried on with the direct approval and encouragement of the Japanese Government.
"In no other country in the world has there ever been known such a wholesale contraband traffic. Literally tens of millions of yen are transferred annually from China to Japan for the payment of Japanese morphia. The chief agency in the distribution of morphia in China is the Japanese post office. Morphia is imported by parceles post. No inspection of parceles in the Japanese post offices in China is permitted to the Chinese custom service. The service is only allowed to know what are the alleged contents of the postal packages as stated in the Japanese invoices, and yet morphia enters China by this channel by the ton.
AMERICANIZATION IN MINNEAPOLIS
MINNEAPOLIS: Minn. — Under the direction of Dr. A. R. Jenkins the problem of Americanizing the foreign-born people of Minneapolis are now attacked by students of the University of Minnesota, department of Americanization.
The young women who are taking the course will go to the homes of the alien women. They will make friends with them in a spirit of gaining what good the foreign women have to offer as well as bringing them the ideals, language, and benefits of America. Men will go among the foreign-born women will conduct classes in English, helping them to learn the ways and customs of this country. Problems which confront America in the industrial plants and mines are studied in these courses. Workers who have had experience in mines will bring to members of the classes the problems, methods, and results of a successful mining town Americanization campaign.
UNIQUE TRIBUTE
TO SOLDIERS
TORONTO: Ontario—The directors of the Canadian National Exhibition pay unique tributes to the Canadian soldiers this year, by naming 11 of the 13 days after outstanding battles in which they participated in the great war. The Americans too, are remembered, and Sept. 2 will be known as Chateau Thierry and American's Day. Aug. 23 will be St. Julien Day; Aug. 25, Zeebrugge Air and Navy Day; Aug. 26, Anicens Day; Aug. 27, Passchendaele, Refreshed Soldiers' and Sailors' Day; Aug. 28, Cambrai Day; Aug. 29, Fenshett; Aug. 30, Ypres and Victory Day; Sept. 1, Somme Day; Sept. 3, Giverny Day; Sept. 4, Courteille Day; Sept. 5, Vimy Ridge Day, and Sept. 6, Mons Day.
REVIVAL OF MARDI GRAS
NEW ORLEANS, La.-Mardi Gras carnival, the distinctively New Orleans pageant, will be revived in February, 1920. This announcement is made by Charles Janvier, president of the Rex organization, under whose auspices the king is chosen for the carnival. The only difference between next year's carnival and those which preceded the suspension of the fete at the entry of the United States into the war will be the absence of Rex in the city. He will merely appear in his regular parade, and later with his queen, at the review of that parade. Thus the expense of the pageant, which formerly cost the various secret carnival organizations approximately $150,000 will be slightly reduced.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Cruee oil from Oklahoma christened the Tulsa, Hog Island's forty-fifth ship.

Miss Luhri Crosby, daughter of an Oklahoma oil operator, was sponsor.

My ear is pained
My soul is sick with every day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled.
There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man: the natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not sooped like his own: and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
Thus, man devotes his brother, and destroys:
Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot.
—Cowper.

(93 v 163 11.)
Section 6289. This chapter shall not relieve a person concerned in such lynching from prosecution for homicide or assault for engaging therein. (93 v 163 12.)
Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith, the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times uphold the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law.
OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
Upon the request of many readers of The Gazette we print below the
text of Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law which the editor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894;
The General Code of Ohio:
Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeper or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race or color, the full enjoyment of the ac
J. H.
The Editor of the Gazette commodations, advantages, facilities or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both.
Sec. 12941. Wheever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby to be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed.
This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts.
NEW TRIAL FOR ELAINE
"RIOTERS"
Stays of Execution Granted and Cases Up to Supreme Court—Defense Fund Opened
Little Rock, Ark.—Several days ago leading Negroes from all parts of the state assembled here and organized the CITIZEN'S DEFENSE FUND COMMISSION: Dr. J. G. Thornton, hair; J. H. McConico, sec.; Dr. H. W. Suggs, treas.; Rev. J. P. Robinson and Rev. R. M. Caver. The object of the commission is to raise funds to conduct the defense of the 87 Negroes "convicted" in connection with the recent race trouble in Phillips county, Ark. The men composing the commission are well established citizens of wide acquaintance and represent the very highest type of spiritual, professional and business activity. Twelve of the Negroes "convicted" in connection with the Phillips county trouble have been sentenced to die and 75 to serve sentences in the penitentiary ranging from five to twenty-one years. Negroes throughout the state and nation feel that they should be given full opportunity to prove their innocence, and counsel have been employed to fight the cases to the end. A motion was filed in the Phillips County Circuit Court for a trial. It was overruled. On Jan. 9 a supporter was appointed to presume court for a new trial. Every effort will be made to defend the rights of these men in the state and federal courts. To fight these cases will require 4 large sum of money, and the CITIZEN'S DEFENSE FUND COMMISSION is now calling upon Negroes throughout the country to contribute to this fund. In this matter the race must act, and act at once. Contributions should be made and remitted promptly in order that the progress of the defense be not handicapped for lack of funds.
J. H. McConico, Sec., Box 112, Little Rock, Ark.
Five of the Negroes were to have been electrocuted January 27, and the date for the execution of the seven others was fixed for February 2. Gov. Browh recently granted stays of execution for 30 days to each defendant, to enable them to prepare their appeals to the lower court. At the court the cases are submitted to the court it is expected that a date for the hearing on oral argument will be announced. Shou'd the Supreme Court affirm the decisions of the lower court, Gov. Browh will be required to fix the date of their execution, unless he should commute their sentences to terms in the penitentiary—Arkansas Gazette, Jan. 19, 1920.

The federal administration through its department of justice (?) has been attempting to connect colored people with "Redism" in this country. It has succeeded in making some people believe that colored people are attempting to help overthrow this government. No one in the Department of Justice really believes this, but here is an insidious attempt to lay hands on the colored men who are fighting, not against the government and this country, but against a rotten southern machine that is again attempting to enslave colored people. Because colored men everywhere are fighting against the present administration is seeking vert public attention from the lawlessness of the south and fix it upon colored people whom they are branding as "reds". The sedition bill aims at crushing every colored man of manhood who fights the southern regime, so as to continue the reign of terror

By this particular piece of legislation every colored newspaper that Burleson thinks is hurting the reign of terror in the south will be put out of business. Every outspoken colored man will be watched and hounded by the southern crackers in this Department of Injustice, and upon the least provocation he will be thrown into prison and made to suffer as a warning to others. In spite of all bills that may be passed and in spite of all of the "worse than reds" in that Department of Justice, color-
INDIANAPOLIS—With personal liberties taken away one by one until, in the words of one ex-gay dog, "life is hardly worth the living." Hoosiers supposed the limit had been reached.
Prohibition means little to many Hoosiers, as here they have been used to the State-wide variety for some time. There were some who regretted the tightening up on crap shooting; others figured they never could win much that way, anyhow. Putting the well-known "k. b." on the equally well-known and highly esteemed one-piece bathing suit affected some, but others figured they could compromise on the adjacent tub. But the saddest blow of all has just fallen. $ \textcircled{5} $ The State Board of Health has put the kibosh on parlor pigs. City-bred porkers must retire to the country or be converted for table use, according to the State Board of Health. And this just when it was becoming fashionable for city homes to possess a pig—or pigs.

"PICTURE" BRIDES
WASHINGTON—Senator Phelan of California announced he had submitted to the State Department information he had received showing that the Korea Maru, a Japanese liner, had recently brought 150 "picture" or proxy brides to California for husbands who had never seen them. Other information submitted to the department, the California Senator said, showed the arrival of a number of the "brides" at Seattle. Such immigration, Senator Phelan said, amounts to defeat, in effect, of the "Gentlemen's Agreement."
A PRIVILEGE
ed men possessing manhood are going to speak their minds about this government which they fought to uphold and to which they are most loyal. No decent colored man is loyal to the present administration which is "jim-crowning" colored people at every hand. No self-respecting colored man will lend his support to a southern regime which happens now to have hold of the federal government. This wicked and incompetent horde of Negro-haters will scruple at nothing to humiliate decent colored people. The fact that they are lynching, whenever they please, any colored man they desire and nothing is being done about it, is prima facie evidence that the south is carrying out the wishes of those of the Department of Justice that want to crush manhood in colored people for political gains. The justice can seek out every red that man speaks or send a bomb to some federal off-
cer or make a speech that is unpatriotic, yet it sits by and allows "the friends of the south" not to send bombs but death to as many, colorful citizens as they choose, and for their dastardly meanness this bill gives them not only immunity but encouragement. The Department of Justice knows all about the lynching of colored men but they are powerless because of states' rights to act, but it can go into any state without regard to the rights and pounce upon any one that opposes their injustice. There will be no let up until this incubus and travesty on decent government is thrown out and real Americans take their places. We are realians to the their places. We will give our ALL to protect it we feel that the best service we can render now is to drive into private life the misrepresentatives of America government that are now in power. We will have the rights to exercise them. Thinking colored people everywhere should inquire into the Graham and other sedition bills, Mr. Gompers has done the nation a service by exposing the attempt in this bill to prevent organizing colored people by the labor unions. The south has stolen the proceeds of Negro labor so long till it is ready to die before it will give it up. It must die then because the strangle-hold it has upon Negro labor will be loosened. Before this bill becomes a law it should be understood that it will not interfere with any rights of any American citizens and neither shall it be used as a 'blind to strengthen the hands of a party that protects lynching and its sway. the political claims that only lawbreakers are sought by this bill will not stand the test of investigation. If Negroes had laid down in the Washington and Chicago race riots, they would not have been mentioned. We shall never lie down.
(Rev.) Wm. A. Byrd.
"THINK AS A MAN"
Class is as fatal in intelligence as anywhere else. Watch yourself, that you do not slump into looking at all questions from the point of view of your class. Think as a human being, not as a Republican, or Democrat, or Laborer, or Capitalist, or Protestant, or Catholic, or Jew, or an Easterner, or a Westerner, or Negro, or an American. Think as a man.—Dr. Frank Crane.
OUR LESSON
We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very unhappy by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount.

Mrs. Jackson's Epileptic Fits
Her own story of her remarkable deliverance. New Jersey Chemist offers generous supply of the wonderful remedy free.
No wonder Mrs. Jackson is anxious to have the whole world know what Dr. Kline's Epileptic remedy did for her. Doctors tried and failed to help her. Fifteen convulsions in three hours is a terrific experience. But Mrs. Jackson is well now. Read how it all happened:
St. Peters, Pa.
Dr. R. H. Kline Co.
301 White St. Red Bank, N. J.
About six years ago I was taken with convulsions in about a month, then I was taken with them and they worked for some time, then I was sent to the hospital before I knew where I was, I stayed at the hospital for four weeks. Then my husband had several attacks of convulsions. A little more than a week later, I had convulsions, at one time, a lady friend told me to try anything as I was troubled so severely. I got one bottle and took it and it made me feel like I was going to die. I itch, I did, and at the present time I am not sure if I will die, but I help anybody that has that kind of trouble. I hope they will take your Epileptic Remedy, as I believe it will help you. You may want to buy your wife W. G. Jackson to all sufferers from Epi lepsy, St Vitus Dance, or similar nervous disorders, a generous trial bottle [full $1.25 size] with valuable book on the treatment of these diseases, on application to Dr. R.
