Cured of severe compound
cold and cough by
From Dec. 20, '08, to March 1, '09,
I had three bad colds, one on top of the
other. I got so weak I could hardly
get around. Nothing seemed to help
me until I began to take Vinol. The
change was magic. Three bottles com
pletely fixed that compound cold and
stopped the terrible cough and what
surprises me most, at the same time
it cured me of a severe stomach trouble
that has bothered me for 20 years.
Vinol is certainly a wonderful medicine."
Mr. Toppan is one of Lynn's most prominent and highly respected
merchants, whose word is as good as his bond.
The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because it

Major A. S. Lanier Tells cf Recent A
rect of Men Engaged in Conspiracy
in Philippines.
Major Albert Sidney Lanier, who
for tiie last tour years has teem as
sistant to the Attorney General of
the Philippine Islands, is back in
Richmond, hjs old home, having re
signed to resume the practice of his
profession in Virginia. He has been
.ai Washington much of time since
ae arrived in America, wending up
iius airairs wua me uovernment
Several months ago, when i t wa:
found that Japanese, officers wen
trying to obtain photgraphs and
plans for the fortifications at Cor
rperlrvr Taj nrk whAiv nvrt.s WPi'f
made, Major Lanier was asigned to
prosecute tne oases, and it was alter
he had examined the laws that it was
rlisirn-.-PTprl that no a.t.fl.tut . AViS'tpr!
whereby the Japanese officers, who
were caught red-handed, could be
prosecuted, the proceedings ending in
their relea.se and expulsion from the
noun.trv.
Tho discovery of the purpose of the
Japanese m the Fmliipi.uest was aue
to clever1 wicrk en the par:' of the se
cret service men connected with the
Government. It was shown that they
were prepared to pay 25,000 for phol
er-ar.t) a,nd mv.,5pr of thp plants of
the fortifications, which have cost
the Government '$6,000,000, and also
that a soldier in the Philippines was
mare or less implicated in the matter
though he saved his position, by an
attack of "cold feet."
Major Lanier was in Richmond a
day or two ago, and when asked re
garding the incident, and his connec
tion, therewith, said it was( true that
he was connected with the icivest'ga
tion, and that the Japs slipped
through the fingers of the authorities
as smoothly as a thing could be, done
He was considerably chargrined. that
they had escaped and much of his
business in Washington has been to
have the laws so amended that such
a thing will not he possible again.
Major Lanier's Story.
"A great deal about this matter- ha
appeared in the papers," said the ma
jor, in discussing the case, "but they
have been so at variance with what
has really happened that one who is
familiar with the affair does net 'rec
ognize the published accounts as iden
tified with the happenings in the
Philippines. On Ccrregidcr Island, at
the entrance to Manila Bay, there is
a fortification which cost your Uncle
Sam some 6,000,000. Its construc
tion, location and guns are such that
Manila Bay is absolutely impregnable
from a sea attack. But the story of
the effort of the Japanese officers, a
captain and a lieuentant, was due to
the love of .a soldier for a; girl in the
United States, and the arrangement
came perilously near to consumma-
"In the army there was a man nam
ed Saxe, a,n enlisted. I nan. He was
the official photographer cn the en
gineer corps1 of Brigadier 'General W.
P. Duval, in charge in the Philip
pines. Because of his position Saxe
had access to the plans, the maps
and the pictures of the fortifications.
He was1 much im love with a woman
the United States, and he wanted to
return here and mrary her. Her
health wjas poor, she being a sufferer
from tuberculosis. Saxe wanted to
send her to some place where her
heatlh would1 be restored.
Seen by Emissary.
"Standing iin the Silver Dollar sa
loon in Manila early im the year, Saxe
was approached by a man supposed
to be an emissary of the Japanese
officers. In fact, the man had been
in consultation with, the officers I
have referred to.The names of these
meiii I cannot recalled, but both were
officers and were there on a secret
mission of some sort, and had beer
there for nearly three years. This
emissary talked with Saxe, and was
asked if he had coipes of the plans,
the maps. iand photographs of the for
tifications. He said he did. Then the
man, who declared he was represent
ing the Japanese officers expressed a
willingness to pay ?25,000 for copies
of the same. Saxe, according to this
agent who really wsa an attache of
the secret service was willing to sell
and negotiations were begun. The
agent for the Japanese officers made
report to General Duval, and Saxe
was placed under surveillance. In
some way Saxe was conscious
stricken, and he informed the offi
cers of the engineering corps of what
was going on, and volunteered to
help the officers: capture the Japanea
"The engineering officers advised
Saxe to go ahead and to complete- the
transaction. He was furnished with
fictitious plans, maps and with photo
graphs. Saxe again saw the agent
of the Japanese .and was; told to come
to an isolated house in Einonda, near
Manila, and to come at a. certain time
of night. The night fixed for Saxe to
go to this place the orders were to
have three American officer 9 precede
him by sometime, and to conceal
themselves Where they could -see and
hear everything. The American.' of fl
eers were there. These officers; were
heavily armed. Saxe arrived accord
ing to arrangement, and soon there
after the Japanese officers came up.
Pleased With Plans.
"Themen obtained a light.and the
maps, plains and. photographs were
placed on a table- The Japan ese offi
cers examined the exhibit with care
and eagerness. They were delighted.
They discussed the matter at some
length, the Japanese captain, displaying-
a wonderful knowledge of gun
nery, endgneering, electricity, etc. The
two Japanese officers declared them
selves satisfied with the papers. At
that point Saxe demanded his pay,
$25,000 in gold. They declared that
they did not have tne money,but di
rected Sax? t f ke the taapc, plans
and pholcgiaphs and proceed 13
house, which they designated, in 5
remote, isolated an-I almost inaccessi
ble place, and there he would find a
man who wfould take the papers and
give him the cash. The road which
led to the; place designated i narrow,
dark, not much frequented. That was
where the Japanese were as shrewd
the best of them. They did not over-lz-vrvlr
a thiin- that would free them of
n vin -H r ooyv- ?mo1 rla"f-
I . , 1 .
J the much desired papers in tneir pos
session1 and without any pay.
Death of Saxe.
"While we could not prove the mat
ter, all of the officers were convinced
that had Saxe ever started cn that
trip his dead body would have been
found in the road, if found at all,
stripped of the maps, and plans and
photographs, and that the same would
have been in the possession of the
Japanese of fleers in short order.
However, just as the Japs were ex
pressing so much pleasure at tihe ac
curacy of the maps, pans and photo
graphs the Amercian officers suddem
ly appeared and arrested the whole
outfit. They were marched off to
prison Cuartel de Espana. The Japs
were searched, and evidence of an in
on.n'mting nature was found.
"While we had these officers locke
ed up, one of the great law firms in
Manila a firm which does not work
except for big salaries suddenly dis
played an interest in the peer Japa
nese. They set about to obtain the
release of the men, and they went
to the courts and sued out a writ of
habeas corpus, General Duval being
the respondent. Then it was that I
was assigned to the case, to represent
General Duval. The case ' was gone
over with great care,and there was
not a solitary enactment under which
we could hold these men or pros?euOe
them for what to all hands was an ai
parent bold attempt to obtain the
plans and maps of the fortifications.
Authorities informed.
"The departments at Washington
were fully advised as to the matter,
and the case had been cn a week or
more before a word of it was printed
in the papers in Manila. But the Ma
nila law fiirm was at work in less tiro
than that, and I will leave it to the
public to judge how the lawyers were
made familiar with the case before it
was known in Washington or the pa
pers in Manila had gotUan in lime of
the arrests.
"The court's, however, held the mei
long enough to allow for a complete
and full examination of the laws ap
plicable and Washington departments
finally agreed that the only thing tb
be dene was to release the prisoners
at once and that was done. Thev at
once left the American possessions
and have not since been seen. But
they did not carry away even the
bogtis maps and plans of the forts.
There was no occasion for holding
Saxe, and he was released. His en
listment had not expired, and when! I
lett the Philippines he was sent back
to Americaa on same transport with
me, arriving in San, Francisco May 1'
th. A week was consumed in coming
across.and I've been in Washington
a good part of the time since then."

ENCE IN LONDON.
(From the Rochester Times.)
Half a century ago there was no ci
ty in the world where aiv eminent
were presented to one in London;
realizing this fact, Dr. Barker, at't:
graduating from Heidleburg, located
in London). His practice grew so rap
idly that at the end of firve year
he established the largest practice
cf any physican in that city. His
practice was confined to chronic cas
es only in the treatment of rheuma
tism, catarrh, kidney and bladder dis
eases. He used one never-failing- pre
scription this siaiine proserin t-.cn he
had written thousands of timp.s; andi
he had seen patients come i,to hia
office on crutches, who said they had:
been troubled with rheumathVn for 15
and twenty years, 'and after using
this special .prsecrr'ption tor .two c-t
three days, they would come walking
to his office, as nimbly as a school
boy, and thank him for the good he
had done them. The Eoctor said in
an interview that one man about, 45
years old came to him one day and
said he had been injured while work
ing at the carpenter trade about 20
years before, and had suffered, con
stantly since with kidney trouble. He
had tried everything to get relief,, but
nothing seemed to do him any, good.
He asked the doctor if he knew
anything that would cure hi-ro, and
he to'.d h?m of a never-failing remedy
for ail chronic cases like nis. Hn
wrcte him a prescription and told,
him to take it for a week and then
come and let him know how he was
getting along. The man same back
to his office in just four daays and.
said he had not felt as well in his
life. He also stated that his daugh
ter, whom he had taken out of school
because her eyes were too weak to
study, and she could hardly se from,
one of them at all; she had been
treated by four eye specialists with
out relief and after he had taken,
this prescription fcr two days he
saw it was helping him so much he
let her take some of it, and to
their great surprise, she improved
wonderfully almost from the first
dose. He told him that it was on
ly a week's time after she commen
ced to take the medciine until she
coulcl see as well as; ever and was a-
ble to return to school.
It was not until after hundred
-Sf cvr,v, rpmarkatle cases had beei
treated by Dr. Barker with this same
prescription that he was prevailed
upon' in the interest of humanity to
al-ow the wonderful pre sorption to
be put up so that every sufferer coul
