A Physician’s Statement.
Yorktown, Ark., Jan 11.—Leland
Williamson, M. D., one of our cleverest
physicians, has made a statement, en-
dorsing Dodd’s Kidney Pills and say-
that he uses them in Li. lally prac-
tice in preference to any other Kidney
medicine. His statement has created
a profound sensation, as it is some-
what Lnusual for a physician to pub-
licly endorse anything in the shape of
a patent medicine. Dr. WIHiausar

Washington. Jan. 12.—The Unitefl

dered an opinion sustaining the valid
ity of tbe New York statute relating to
I the adulteration of food products, and
also held that it applies to a contract
covering the purchase of coffee in
Guatemala which was af ter wards
< brought to New York. The case was
that of G. P. Grossman &. Bros. New
j York importers, vs. Theodore G. Lur-
man a merchant, who made a contract
to purchase tlie coffee of a prescribed
grade at a certain price. When the
coffee arrived in New York it was
found to be of the requisite grade, but
it was discovered to nave been colored
Mr. Lurman raised the point that the
process was adulteration and the New
York courts sustained the contention,
relieving the buyers from the require

Tyler Heading Off Smallpox.
Tyler. Texas. Jan 12.—Dr. D. H.
Connally has reported that smallpox
had made its appearance in this city
among the negroes. He han issued an
order compelling those who have nev-
er*been vaccinated to have it done at
once. Yesterday morning he caused
the arrest of three negroes who re-
fused to comply with the order. Dr |
Connal y is determined not to let th<- ,
dise-ase get the start it did winter be-
fore last, when there were over 10”
cases at one time in th-* city. It is
believed that there are several cases
scattered over the city and that friends
cf the sick are keeping the fact from
the authorities. The situation at
Troupe remains unchanged and It is
now thought that there is no great
danger of the malady spreading to any
extent since the adoption of the pre
cautionary measures of a few days
ago.
