“The Greatfrt Kidney Komedy on
Earth,” Says a Grateful
Woman.
t want lo teli yon how wui-h good
you Swiiinp-Koot did me. About four
years ago. I suffered from what the
doctors called fistula ai:d for t-.vi)
years of that time-, 1 endured. wh?vt
no tongue can tell. I also had infla-
nfiation of the bladder and I tried
doctors medicines without receivinf:
any help. Someone told nii> about
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root.
After g-lving it a thorough trial, I
received relief, so kept on using it
and today I am a strong a/id well wo
man. If I ever feel badly or out of
eorts, I take Swaiiip-Koot and it al
ways straightens me out, I hone.st!y
faeiieve that this medicine would cure'
al) troubles you reconnaend it for
and it is a pleasure for me to send-
my testimony and photograph to you.
I think Dr. .Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is
one bf the greatest medicines on
earth.

Philadelphia Stock Exdianee about
noon yesterday of ^ gasfea^oa of
Cramii, HiteheU & Co. It was fciiown
on Sati:u:day that the Arm was iTi fi
nancial diincalties and that aa effort
was being made to satisfy |f>re«sing
elaims, that insolvency might be
avoided. 'Adequate relief Was not pro
vided and upon the petition of three
«mall creditors, Jud)^ Thompson, ot
the United States DistrSct Coart, ap
pointed Charles S. W. Packiufd^ pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Company
for Insui-ance on Lives and Granting
Annuities, receiver^ flxing the bond
at $30,(W.
'The petitioning creditors are John
Webster, 119 North Seventeenth
SStreet, whosec Iftini is $X32.9d; Wil
liam W. Briom, 1539 ffor^ Twenty-
Ninth Street, to wltioro is due ¥545.59,
and Charles A. McCauley, M, O., of
Gladwyisne whose ci^m amounts to
$191.62.
In the petition the liabilities are
placed at $3,600,000 and the assets
at 83,100,000, the quick assets not
exceeding $2.5,000. One of the cted*
itors figured out that if the assets
reaiized the larger amount and all
creditors shared alike, the receiver
v,’ould be able to pay eighty-^ cants
on the dollar, but it was remarked

sets do. Moreover, the banks and
trust companies which have loaned
funds to the firm and hold aa secur
ities stocks and bonds bouglit on mar
gin by the firm for customMS have
a claim upon such securities ahead of
the customers, who only -have an
equity in the bonds and stacks, not
having paid in full for them. This
condition j,*: well understood by the
customers, who fear that their pros
pects are not cncouragi^.
As to the cause of the failui'e neith
er the members of the firm, Thomas
Wilson Bayard, of John G. Johnson’s
office, their aitorney, nor the receiv
er were prepared to talk. In finan
cial cir;!es it is said the f^ure was
precipitated by a claim which was
pre.ssed by the executor of the ’SVhite
estate, of Cincinnati.
Mrs. Cramp, who was Mill .Mi?e
White, is reputed to have inhevv,i^d
$4,000,000 upon the death of her fath
er. some years agn, in Cincinnati, and
an e!ual amount from her mother,
who died in the same city not long
ago . It is said thst other heirs were
pressing for the payment of estate

ability to meet this payment binught.
about the suspension.
0:ie of the investments rapated to
have tiod up the funds of the firm
is an intere.st in the bonds and stock
of the Standard Cast Iron Pipe and
Foundry Company, of Bristoi. About
!a year ago this company appealed lo
jits shareholders to buy .$259,000 of
j bonds an.J to take a $.S4,0vl0 of pre-
I ferred slock at par, '.vith a fifty per

I'«‘ar Bryan .Mish Mediate Too Much.
Waihinpton, May O.- The situa
tion .surrijundinff the entire Mexican-
.^rr.eriean controver.=>y is liccoming
more interesting here daily. The calm
that prevails in the Senate and Hou.sc
may be ‘.he calm before the storm.
The serious question in the minds
of Senatoi's on the Foreign Relations
Comniissee is: “How Far Has Secre
tary Bryan Gone to Avoid War?”
There is a fear that he has offered to
mediate a matter of “National honor.”
Should it liecorae known that he had
overstepped what are considered the
bounds of propriety in submitting the
interests of this country to medistion
there would be a great outburst of
disaproval in the Senate.
Secretary Bryan has become ob
sessed with the desire for peace—in:
ternational peace. His “breathing
spell treaties,” which would detey war
a year, if we approached the brink
of troubie with Nations agreeing to
such treaties, has taken firm hold on
him. Congressmen wlio are waiting
—patiently waiting and hoping—to
see what will become of the media
tion program are afraid that Mr. Bry
an may permit our cou:itry to slip into
a position where its entire dealings
with Huerta and Carranza and V^lla
will be reviewed by Kediators who
would not hesitate to find, of the facts
justified them, that the United States
had been all wrong all along and had
gone toe far at Tampico and Vera
Cm?..
Major Stediiian, the only North
Carclina congressman on the Foreign
Affairs Ccmmittee, thinks that the
President “has been right all along, in
not recognizing Huerta, in occupying
Vera Cm/, and in accepting the prop-
Cease not to swat the dratted fly; opision of +he mediators. He says
so armistice doth here apply.—The that the President has been frank in

ASBESTOS CONCERS'3 TROU
BLES.
In financial circles the opinion js
held that the firm's enibarrasawent
is due partly to its connection with
he launshitig of the Amalgamated As-
beston Corporation, Ltd., a Canadian
Company, in 1910, The firm was as
sociated with Kitcat & Aiken, of )ton.-
day, in the sale of $7,103,000 of the
five per cent, first mortgage thirty-
year bonds of .that corporation. B^t£
Mr. Cramp and Mr. Mitchell were
members of the directorate. The
bsnking houses sold a numhe^of the
bonds, hut before the issue was niar-
keted there came a slump in the fi-
raancxai tnarkets and it was believed
that the bankers had left on thesr
hands a large block of the securities.
TheA malgemated Asbestos Cor
poration, Ltd., defaulted in payment
of its December 1, 1911, interest, and
eomir-ittees were farmed to vi present
Canadian, American and British
bondholder.^. In the rcorgans».*ttion*
the Asbestos Corporation of Canada,
Ltd., was formed. The plan of te-
organization wiped out the oW pre
ferred and common stocks. Before
the plan was agreed upon, or, in Feb.
1^13, Stuart Robinson, acting in
liehatf of Cramp, Mitchell & Shober,
the style of the fiira then, made a
strong plea in behalf of the preferr
ed stockholders of the old company at
a meeting of the bondholders. At
that time Mr. Robinson said that
$1,654,000 of the bonds was held by
Philadelphia interests, and tiiat six-
.ty-eight per cent, of the bondholders
were owners of the preferred sjock,
the balance being sold to outsiders,
er.'s.
The plan of reorganization compris
ed in exchange of the old bonds for
securities of the present company,

ORGANIZED IN 1901.
The house was organized in 1901
under the name of Cramp, Mitchell
& Sen-ill. Sir SerrfJ retired to ac-
■p.pt a poiation as manager for a -well-
known local firm and the firm then
bccarae Cramp, Mitchell & Shober. In
addition to Messrs. Cramp and Mit'
chell, Samuel L, Shober was a mem
ber of the firm. This was in 1906.
Last year Jlr^hober retired and re
moved to Colorado. Mr. Mitchell is
a member of the Philadelphia Stock
Exchange, having succeeded ISr. .Sho
ber January 7, 1913, and Mrs. Cramp
s a member of the New York Stock
Exchange.
Mr. Packard, the receiver, said yes
terday tbat the only official infor
mation he had cn the failure was that
his bond had been approved-
‘I have not been tc the offices of
Cramp, Mitchell & Co.,' so I am cot
yet in a position to say anything,’'
Mr. Packard commendted. •'! sup-
jicsi a S' iiedale of as.!els and liabil
ities is bciiig made and will be pub
lished as soon as posibie. From what
I hear I believe the creditors are pret-
well secured, although, of course.
I cannot speak from actual know-
ledjre until I have gone over the
firm’s affairs.”

FAIR EXCHANGE.
New Back Fcr An Old One. How
it Can be Done in Burlington.
The back tbat aches at times with
a dull, {rdescribabte feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing paiai
shoot across the region of the kid
neys, and agatti the loins are so lame
that to stoop is agony. No use to
rub or apply a plaster tc the back if
the kidnej'S are weak. You cannot
reach the cause. Burlington residents
would do well to profit by the follow
ing example.
J. G. Andrews, 802 W. Main St.,
Darbanu N. C.., says: “My back ach
ed for a long time and when I heard
of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I got a sup
ply. They proved to be the re.nedy i
needed and since using them, I,have
had no serious trouble. I have recom
mended Doan’s Kidney pais on previ
ous occasions and at this time,
cheerfully do so agair.. I consider
them the best kidney medicine to be
had.”
The above is -not an i.solated case,
Mr. Andrews is only tihe of many in
this vicinity who have gratefully en
dorsed Doan’s, If yom* back aches—
if your kidneys liother you, don’t sim'
ply ask for a kidney remedjj—ask
distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills,
the same that Mr. Andrews had. 50^
