The Herald, 1907-02-08, Page 6ITIAW JURORS W1[ EXCUSED. 'Iwo More Chosen Leaves Light Men in the Box. Jury Milch Struck With His Wife's Beauty. Alienist Saw Thaw Shoot, Declares He Was insane. New York, Feb, 4.—Court was ad- ' journed this afternoon with just us :many jurors in the box as when pro- oeedings opened in the morning. They were not all the same jurors, however, 'two having been excused and two more chosen to fill their places. The morning session closed with ten anew in the box, the tenth being John 18. Dennee, 33 y earls old, a travelling idreight agent in the employ of the ,Southern Railway. With ten men selected to pass upon the guilt or in- nocence of Harry .K.. 'lhaw, it looked possible when court reconvened after •tlhe noon r'eceas . that the box would be filled before night. When Mr. Jus tics Fitzgerald tom his seat, however, District attorney Jerome sprang the surprise. "Your honor," he said, -after a conference with counsel for the me fence, counsel for the people have come to the 'conclusion that we should ask that Mr. Campbell and Mr. Aire be excused from service on the jury. :This action casts no reflection what- ever on these two gentlemen, either es jurors or as men. Your Honor knows that similar action has been • taken in anotner case, and we ask that these jurors be excused," blr. Justice Fitzgerald had evidently been informed that the request was to be made and of the grounds on. which it was based. As soon as eoun:,el for :the defence had given their consent he addressed Mr Campbell and Mr. Faire, and informed thein that they 'were forthwith excused, repeating that assurance of the Distriet Attorney that 'the action taken was not to be con- strued as in any way reflecting upon them. Mr. Campbell, it was learned, was excused largely on account of the state of his health. Ile had passed an uncomfortable night at the Broad- way Central Hotel, and it was prob- ably feared that there was a pos- a sibility of his tying the jury up by being sick after the •taking, of evidence: was begun. Mr. Faire's ease obviously vastly excused, and said • He stated that answered all the to . him when he counsel, is different. Ile was surprised at being so when questioned. he had truthfully questions addressed was examined by Struck With Her Beauty. :At the morning session, for the first time since the beginning of the trial of Thaw, his wife allowing her beautiful 'face to be seen by spectators mid jury- men. Discarding the white veil which she had worn heretofore, she appeared in court wearing one of blue, but so !transparent that all could see her fea- tures. The nit e jurymen in the box seemed to he a.tscinated by the beauty of the giri ,ver whom one of the most sensational tragedies of the day was committed. Ti.c.•y stared openly at her • and withm-t attempting to conceal their admit ation. She returned their gaze with shrinking glances, Says He Was Crazy. Boston, Feb. 4.—A young physician who says he has had many y=ears' exper- . fence with the insane in en asylum, who declares he atm Harry ii, Thaw shoot and kill Stanford White on the :Madison • Square roof garden, and who is willing to take the witness stand and swear that the young millionaire was mentally un- balanced at the time, came forward in this city this afternoon. This physician, who has never hore- tofore been mentioned in connection with the case, is Dr. Edward Street of Montreal. Dr. rl.treet declared that he and a friend, a Montreal dentist, sat within a few feet of where Stanford 1 White was when; he was killed, that he had a good view of Harry Thaw's lace, tok particular notice of his eyes and mouth because of the agitation of !the young man, and is certain that he was insane when he fired the shot that • has placed hie life in jeopardy. • "We eat at a table when I noticed a 1 young man who turned out to be Thaw, :.walk up to the table where White sat, and, pointing a revolver at him, shoot Lim," he said. "I happened to be looking at Thaw, because of the way . be approached White. There was the ";right of the insane man in his eyes, and there was something about his lips that showed he was mentally unbalanced," Dr. Street says he was a ,physician. at Louge Pointe and other Canadian asylums for seven years, He says he is willing to testify in Thaw's behalf.

The outbreak is unpre- cedented in. any American city. Diphtheria and measles continued in a lesser degree throughout the city, but with little indication of being cue - trolled by the health department. That tin dioeases may follow the upward sweep of the more dreaded disease is feared by physicians. The health department, already de- moralized by exposals of the incapacity and inefficiency of its officials,. gave evi- dence to -day of its inability to cope with the: epidemic, The department already is at war with the building department and the Mate factory inspector, who have de- nounced its work. The criticisms of the State Board of llealtir and City Council have brought angry retorts. from Dr. Whalen, but no increase of ac- tivity. The renewed outbreak of scarlet fever has caused a panic in many sections of the city. Railway passenger agents report the exodus south of hundreds• of school children and their parents..

PM And a 'rise Story of How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth and low the "Panic of '73" Causes f It to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass., February 9th, 1819 com- ing from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham a builder and real estate operator, ancd their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days ,it was common for mothers to, make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies—calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs: their char- acteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bounti- fully provides in the barvest-fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds ; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weakneeses of the body, and it washer pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effec- tive medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare t:ombination of the choicest medicinal roots; and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pinkham's•friendsand neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck •Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate, interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful de- pression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known . to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the gtuaestion of selling it, for always before thear,had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets settin forth the merits of the medicine, ',rya called Lydia E. Pinkham's •Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. Tho wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to , great extent, self -advertising, for whoever used it me - commended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enter- prise were assured, until to -day LydiaE.: Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words 'every- where, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. ,She passed to her reward years ago, but "not till she had provided means for continu- ing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful experi- ence she was ever methodical Metier work and she was always careful to pre- serve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick'- woman who applied to her for advice— and there were thousands—received careful study and the details, including symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference and to -day • these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since; are available -:to sick X omen the world over, and nacre - sent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment of woman''s'lls which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled'in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham workedher daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pink - ham. She was carefully instructed all .her hard -Won knowledge, and •,for ' years she assisted her in her vast corres- pondence. To her hands naturally fell the direc- tion of the work when its originator passed away. •. + For nearly twenty -ave , years she haet'continued it and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia , E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and thee present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother , of a large family, took it up. With woman asistants, some as capable as her- self, the present Mrs. ,Pinkham contint;ea this great work, and probably from the• office of no other person have so many women been advised how to regain health. Sick -'omen, this advice br "Yours for Health" freely given if.,ou only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink-. ham's Vegetable Compound: made from simpIe roots and herbs,; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman, whose name it bears,
