Mitchclstown Police Claim that the Collision Was Provoked by -the Mob. One of the Wounded Men Dies, Mating Three Deaths from Bullets Fired by the Officers The Exultation of the Nationalists. The Escape of Ayoub Khan an Event of Great Importance to England. Germany Thinks Bismarck Has Gone Far Enough in Humoring Rnssia Threatened Renewal of the Church-Rights Agitation. THE MITCHELSTOWN RIOT. The Claim Made by the Officers Death of One of the Wounded Men. London, Sept. 10. The police at Mitchelstown assert that the trouble there yesterday was dee to the Nationalist leaders shouting for the mob to hold together. The town to-day is quiet. The Nationalists are exultant over the good fight they made yesterday. A Tipperary boy broke through a square composed of twelve policeman, and fought them singlehanded. The police finally overpowered him, but the uob made a rush and rescued him from his captors. The police paraded tbia morning. A majority of them wore bandages over the wounds they received yesterday. Fourteen policemen were injured during the rioting and have been carried to the hospital. The Pall Mall Gazette says that the memory of old man Riordan, lying dead in the .market place at Mitchelstown, his gray hair matted with blood, will haunt both nations for many days to come. The Dublin Freeman's Journal says: 'The blood-stain is indelibly attached to JIr Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, and to the government" The Journal accuses the officials of sending a force of police and a reporter to Mitchelstown, on whose evidence the warrants against Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Mandeviile, the poor-law guardian, were issued, for the special purpose of exasperating the crowd. The London Globe says that Mr. O'Brien and his friends have at last succeeded in bringing about bloodshed. Upon them rests the entire moral responsibility for the death of those killed at Mitchelstown yesterday. Another person has died from the effects of injuries received during the rioting yesterday. The Government Will Not Tarn Hack. Special to th Indianapolis Journal London, Sept. 10. It must not be imagined that the government intends to let the proclamation of the National League remain a dead letter. The Ministry will almost immediately move to suppress a number of local branches in Ireland, and have virtually promised their supporters that they will uo so. They are daily receiving encouragement from Tory members, who claim that the idea . has actually given spirit to the party, and increased the con fid ence of their supporters in the country. On the other hand the proclamation has undoubtedly given the league, which, in some parts of Ireland, was moribund, a fresh lease of life and vigor. The government has made the League the symbol of patriotism to every Irish heart, and its 600,000 members wiil certainly be largely added to before the government has done with its work. Mr. Vincent Scully, the landlord who spoke at the Dublin rotunda meeting, the other day, asserted that he was led to publicly associate himself with the league by the proclamation. Ilia example was followed by other Irishmen of position and by a number of English Liberals. It looks as if half the Liberal party in the House of Commons would soon be members of the league. While the government treat Ireland as a criminal and an enemy, the English Liberals treat her as an equal and a friend. There is certain to be a struggle between the government and the league, and it is all-important that the struggle should be one on which the league can look back without regret. In this conflict the association with them of their English friends will supply a useful and steadying influence. Such acts as the proclamation of the league, the prosecution of Mr. O'Brien, and the bloody work ac Mitchellstown. are necessarily provocative in their nature, and if left to themselves the Irish people might become desperate and destroy all chances of success to their cause in a hopeless struggle against superior force. As things now stand, there is no excuse for becoming desperate. They have at their back the Liberal party, which has never hitherto been defeated in the long run in a cause that it really cared to win. and behind the Liberal party it is almost certain that there is. even now, arrayed a majority of the people of Great Britain. Ireland is within view of the goal of her desires, andhas only to be patient a little while longer contending courageously in the meantime against her enemies, but contending only by legitimate means until her desires shall be accomplished. News from Stanley. London, Sept 10. A dispatch from St Paul de Loanda, dated Sept 9, states that Major Bartellot, commander of the camp on the Aruwimi, had sent advices to Leopoldville that he had received news from Henry M. Stanley, dated July, 12. Stanley was then ten days' march in the interior and still proceeding up the Aruwimi, which he found navigable above the rapids. ATOUB KUAN. Lord Salisbnry Regards His Escape as an Incident of Much Importance. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Sept 10. Lord Salisbury admits that the escape of Ayoub Khan is an incident of much political importance, and strongly condemns the want of vigilance on the part of the Persian authorities. It is known that Mr. Nicholson, the British minister at Teheran, was instructed to offer a reward of 100,000 for Ayoub's recapture. Notwithstanding semi-official denials from St Petersburg, it is generally believed that Ayoub's escape was the result of Russian intrigue. The Shah of Persia would not have allowed so profitable a hostage to wander away from his dominions unless he had received a hint from Russia that it would be to his interest to shut his eyes to the vagaries ' of his princely guest Ayoub's flight from Teheran was in answer to a call from the Ghilzai chiefs to come and lead them. The Shah of Persia knew that Ayoub had received such a call, but instead of taking precautions to prevent his leaving Persian territory the Shah publicly announced that he himself was going to visit the European courts, and court circles in London; remembering the Shah's escapades while visiting the court of St James on a former occasion, he became horrified at the idea of having again to entertain the slovenly Persian monarchSince the escape of Ayoub Khan, nothing more has been heard of the Shah's intended visit to London, and should he still persist on coming here he will meet with a very cool reception in comparison with the one he received when Ayoub Hhan was an apparently closely-watched prisoner at Teheran. Ayoub Khan is the most formidable of the' Afghan pretenders, and has cost England many millions of pounds an d the lives of thousands of her best solalers.. His expedition in 1880 was one of the most dramatic in that period of disorder in central Asia. Collecting a strong force, he determined to make a dash upon Candahar. He was aware that the Wall, the puppet England had set up in eoutb Afghanistan, was bacKed by British bayo nets, but his knowledge of that fact did not af fect his decision to make a bold stroke for the supreme position in the country. His spirited conduct made a profound impression upon the Afghans, and as he moved forward his army was daily reinforced by volunteers from the tribes through whose districts he passed. For a time the position seemed critical, and when at
length Ayoub overwhelmed the force at Maiwand, he oopeared destined to achieve a signal success. There can hardly be any doubt that if after the battle of Naiwand, he had pushed vigorously ferward and struck a resolute blow at Candahar. General Primrose, who then held the chief command there, would have found himself in a position of very great penL But, as ia usually the case with Asiatic leaders, Ayoub failed to grasp hia opportunity. He hung about Candahar in a listless fashion, not at all suspeeing that all the while Sir Frederick Roberts was hurrying southward oo hia memorable march, but soon , discovered his mistake. His army was attacked and destroyed; and although, for some months, he continued to play the part of a pretender, endeavoring now and" again to organize another expedition, he ceased by his defeat at Mazra, to be a power in Afghan affairs. It has always, however, seemed probable, that Ayoub would again step to the front In Afghanistan, as elsewhere, disaffection always seeks a rallying point, and Ayoub Khan conld hardly be left out of the calculation in any great disturbance among the tradesmen. Since the beginning of the Ghilzai rebellion Ayonb has been an object of interest to the Ameer and to the government of India, the latter's increased apprehension owing to his escape being shown by the increased activity prevailing in the military department of the government Troops and munitions of war are being hurried to the frontier,' and a number of home regiments are booked for immediate service in India. - THE GERMAN EMPEROR.
Effort I to Discredit the Idea that an Interview with the Czar Is Contemplated. tCopvright, 1837. by the New York Associated Press.! . Berlin, Sept 10. The Emperor and Empress will leave Babelsburg on Monday, and will arrive at Stettin at 4:30 in the afternoon. They will remain there until Saturday. The programme of the .proceedings has been eagerly scanned to sea if there ia any chance of a visit from the Czar. Military manoeuvres and social entertainments will fill every day, except Thursday, for which day the Emperor's only engagement is an official dinner. There is no indication that a meeting of the Emperors is intended. Was it ever projected? is the question now discussed. The New Free Press, the North German Gazette, and other official papers seek to discredit the idea that any preparations were made to receive the Czar; but they cannot deny the faet that the Stettin authorities were warned to prepare for the reception of a great foreign personage, who was popularly supposed to be the Czar. That an interview was expected to take place between Emperoff William and the Czar is beyond doubt, and its abandonment is attributed in the highest circles to influences hostile to Germany which were brought to bear on the Czar after his arrival at Copenhagen. Prince Bismarck, finding that the Czar hesitated whether to meet Emperor William, decided to show no solicitude about the matter, and seized the occasion of the Emperor's accident and his abandonment of the Koeuigsberg journey to intimate a doubt whether the Emperor would be able to go to Stettin, and that the projected interview must drop. The press and ail parties concur in saying that Prince Bismarck has gone far enough toward humoring Russia. The North German Gazette hints that the approaches made to Prince Bismarck while at Kissengen. if met as the Czar desired, would have drawn Germany into a policv hostile to the Austrian alliance. The Vossische Zeitung states that Prince Bismarck favored the policy of Russia as far as L is friendship to Austria permitted, but this did not satisfy the Czar, nor has it finally tended to more friendly relations between Germany and Russia. What the Czar desired was the active mediation of Germany in the Bulgarian question. Prince Bismarck to take the initiative and propose European intervention under the shadow of the Berlin treaty, to promote a settlement satisfactory to Russia. Prince Bismarck's absolute refusal to either assume the initiative or to give Russia any advice regarding Bulgaria disappointed and irritated the Czar, whose position is now rather worse than before an entente appeared probable. Instead of supporting. Prince Bismarck now appears inclined to thwart the Russian , policy. A significant indication of his changed diplomacy is found in Germany's answer to the Porte's note regarding General Enroth's mission, which declares that it is necessary to regulate the Bulgarian question in strict conformity with the "'Berlin treaty, meaning that General Enroth most not go to Bulgaria or Russia interfere in any way without the sanction of the powers. Prince Bismarck went to Babelsborg yesterday and had a long conference with the Emperor. He will return to Freidrichsrhue on Friday, where he will receive Count Kalnoky, the Austrian Prime Minister. The following week he will visit the Austrian statesman, and so set at rest rumors of any tendency toward a departure from his friendly policy in relation to Austria. GERMANY AND THE VATICAN. Herr Windthorat Threatens a Renewal of the Church-Rights Agitation. Copyright, 1S87, by the New Tork Associated Prees.l Beklin, Sept 10. The coming session of the Reichstag will, it is threatened, be made lively by a renewal of activity in the Center party in favor of the extension of Catholic rights. Herr Wintborst, armed with a mandate from the Treves congress, will introduce a bill vesting the direction of Catholic schools and their entire control in the clergy. This movement on the part of the clericals is a direct breach of the compact . between Prince Bismarck and the Vatican, under which the Kulturkampf ceased. The intervention of the Pope may be invoked to influence Herr Windthorst to drop the project.but the temper of the leaders of the Center party will not brook further submission to the behests of the Vatican, and the bill is certain to be pushed and backed by the whole power of the clericals of Germany. Not a single step toward concession will be taken by the government, and Herr Windthorst's action will be resented by Prince Bismarck and fiercely opposed by the majority of the house. The short truce between the Catholic church and the state will soon terminate, forecasting inevitable developments of the programme of the Center party, which, it is certain, will speedily extend beyond school control, will embrace the complete suppression of the veto of the state on ecclesiastical nominations, the return of the Jesuits, and the restitution to the church of the administration of all charitable institutions now supervised by the state. The Catholic Social Congress at Liege was attended by several members of the Reichstag. Herr Winterer, deputy from Mulhausen, made an effective speech on the relations between the church and socialism. Referring to the Socialists of Germany, he declared the organization to be increasing in numbers, and stated that it now embraced three million souls within the radius of its inriuence. To save society, he said it was necessary to secure the co-operation of the church, with the government's combined and regulated efforts, to enlighten the masses as to the ruinous results of socialistic principles. Another speaker, HerrWoeste.advocated practical reforms, the regulation of child and woman labor, compulsory workmen's assurance, the formation of syndicates of Christian workmen under the supervision of the chnrch, and legislation to limit the consumption of alcohol, all of which suggestions the congress approved. The German Socialists regard the proceedings of the congress with a feeling of contempt All the resolutions adopted by the congress ended with a declaration of the church's supreme right to direct social reforms. The congress concluded by affirming that the principle of the temporal power of the Pope was necessary to the welfare of society. - GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. A Semi-official Statement that the Samoan Difficnlty Is Not Serious. Beklin, Sept 10. The North German Gazette says that the government has received so information concerning the imposition of a heavy fine upon King Malieota, of Samoa, and his subsequent deposition by the commander of the German squadron. It is true, the paper states, that the squadron was ordered to demand satisfaction for robberies committed on German plantations and for insult to Emneror William and abuse of Germans while celebrating the Emperor's birthday in Apia. If King Malieota refused to pay damages and to give satisfaction for the insults, it is probable that the military intervened. Samoan foreign relations, especially the equal rights of Germany, England and America, will remain the same, whatever may be the fate of King Malieota. A large ma jority of the Samoans have long recognized the authority of Tamasese as King. Mary Anderson tu "The Winter's Tale." London, Sept 10. -Mary Anderson opened her season at the Lyceum Theater, to night, in "The Winter's Tale." The house was filjed to its capacity, but, owing to the close of the Lon don season, there were few notables present The occupants of the pit howled with indigna
tion at the manager for having encroached npon their preserves by extending the stalls, and half of the first act was drowned by the uproar they made. The appearance of Miss Anderson somewhat mollified the disorderly ones, and they finally became quiet Miss Anderson received an enthusiastio welcome, and was twice recalled in the death scene. Her performance was at times splendid, but the piece was slow, and the interest of the andience flagged at points where it should have been excited. It is doubtful whether the play can be kept upon the stage anywhere near as long as the management expected to run it Miss Sophie Eyre divided the honors with MissvAnderson. Balfour's Statement of the Blot. London, Sept 10. Mr. Balfour, in the Ilonse of Commons, said that according to the government's information, an unprovoked assault was made upon the police at Mitchelstown of a most violent and brutal character, which compelled the police to fire upon the mob in self-defense. If the government's account was true, as he believed it was, there had never been a more wanton attack upon the police. The responsibility for the riot rested with a band of politicians calling themselves leaders of the Irish people, who spoke of government reporters as spies. Mr. John O'Connor and the Irish members present did their best to restrain the people, while the Irish officials did tbeir utmost to provoke them. Sir Edward J. Reed, member for Cardiff, warned the government that the English electors would resent interference with public meetings, Her Eyea burned Oat. Paris Dispatch in London Dally Telegraph. Some curious and terrible effects of lightning are reported from Mende. During the recent thunderstorms in that locality the room of a Mme. Gaillard was suddenly illuminated with the flashes of fire. The woman and her three children, frightened out of their wits, ran for safety to the chimney corner, when a single sharp clap of thunder was heard over the house, and the chimney was struck by lightning. The mother and the three children were knocked down insensible. One of them, a boy of four, was killed instantaneously, and a little girl was whirled into the center of the room and had her eyes completely burned out Cable Notes.

Got. Foraker Opens the Campaign and Supplies a Vast Crowd with Political Facts. Caldwell, O., Sept 10. The opening of the campaign by the Republicans at this place today broueht out a great throne of people. Governor Foraker, who was to make the principal speech, reached the town before noon and was given arousing reception by the assemblage. He was accompanied by several candidates on the State ticket The speaking began in the afternoon on the court-house square, before a vast audience, said to be the largest political gathering ever seen in Noble county. Hon. Capell L. Weems, chairman, introduced Governor Foraker, who, after the applause had subsided, delivered a long address, which was, to a considerable extent, an answer to the speech of bis competitor, Mr. Powell. He first alluded to the matter of State finances, claiming that his administration began with $000,000 less in the treasury. than the preceding administration of Governor Hoadly. yet y proper management the present administration has not only met all obligations, but has increased the revenue by causing an increase of the valuation of property for taxation, and has reduced the annual interest charges by $87,200. He referred to the election frauds during the previous administration in Columbus and Cincinnati, and to the election of Senator Payne, as showing the tendency of that administration to methods that were hurtful to the State, and claimed that under this administration some of the perpetrators of the frauds have been punished, and election laws have been passed which render their repetition well-nigh impossible. Continuing on State affairs, he cited the establishment of a soldiers' and sailors' home as an instance of fair dealing with that deserving class, the soldiers of the late war. Turning to national politics, which he said became important because this campaign in Ohio would have a hearing upon the campaign of next year, he said the reasons became stronger why the Republican party should prevail in this contest Referring to Mr. Powell's suggestion that the Republican State executive committee had bean organized with the purpose of wrecking Senator Sherman's presidential train, he said Mr. Powell might dismiss all such fears, so far as the Ohio Republicans are concerned, "for," said he, "Senator Sherman has been put on a sure train, with a free pass in his own name, and I do not know of anyone, from the river to the lake, who wishes to take it from him. John Sherman has no such train-wreckers to avoid as Allen G. Thurman can give account of." He devoted considerable space to President Cleveland, but denied that he had made any personal attack upon him. He had to deal with his public acts, and while it was not to be expected that Republicans would be pleased with the President's course upon questions on which the parties are at issue, there were other matters in which their past expectations have been disappointed. Republicans did not expect that President Cleveland would make a' f alee pretense of ignoring the just claims of his party in so far as they could be recognized through the desirable policy of removing only offensive partisans, and that by adhering to such a course, under the claim of civil-service reform, he would bring upon that worthy cause, as he has done, an odium that has set it back for years in public appreciation, to the great detriment of the whole country. He claimed there was still greater disappointment in the revival by President Cleveland of the animosities of the war, which had almost died out, in proof of which he cited the application of the epithets "tramps," "paupers," "pension-grabbers," and the like, by politicians and political newspapers. He charged that Cleveland was responsible for this, because bis policy had been to make it appear that, after all, there was nothing very seriously wrong about secession and rebellion. He charged that this course was mischievous, especially toward the South, as it led those people to look upon the acts of the loyal people of the North who are not in accord with the President in this respect as acts of hostility toward the South. The people of the South, he said, want truth, and their appreciation will not be greater for those who mislead them about it That truth, he said, is that the people of the North want entire peace and fraternity for the whole land, and tne people of every section, on the basis of a complete recognition and acceptance of all the fruits and results of the war. Hence they cannot consent to recognize any act that indicates a changed estimate of the ideas upon which the confederacy was based,- nor can they listen to harsh criticism of our soldiers, or the proposition to surrender, in the way it was proposed, the rebel battle flags. Great as this country is, it has room for but one flag the stars and stripes. The great duty of the hour then, said he, ia to put down the men and the party who have flung into our faces these offensive and treasonable ideas. Speaking of the tariff, be made the assertion that while there are many protectionists in the Democratio party, yet the party, as such, has been and is now essentially a free-trade party. He said that the issue in Ohio, as fixed by the platforms, was fairly between protection and free-trade. Referring to Mr. Powells statement that the Democratio party had never made a land grant to a railroad, he said the records show that between 1850 and 18G1, during Democratic administrations, forty-three Congressional grants to railroads had been made, aggregating 32,000.000 acres, or about three-fifths of ail the lands that had been granted to railroads. Great Flood In Arizona. San Francisco, Sent 10. Advices from Tucson, A.

SAMPLER'S PARADISE. She Finds a Wonderful Fascination la the Drneelsta Preparations. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Sept 10.- The presence of the International Medical Congress in this city this week has developed a great many queer traits in tbe female character. Among the attractions of the week has been an extensive and Interesting exhibition of physicians' and surgeons' supplies. The large drill hall of the "Washington Light Infantry Armory has been turned into an exhibition room, and the principal drug and chemical houses of the United States hare availed themselves of the opportunity for calling to the attention of the visiting medical men the merits of the particular artieles in which they deaL Nearly every exhibitor has a large supply of small samples of his wares. These samples are all for the use of physicians,, of course. But the physicians are not the only ones who earry off armsful of spoils. In fact one of the heaviest dispensers of the small sample packages says that not more than twenty per cent, of the samples go to the doctors. The exhibition has been open to the public, and every one who desires to do so may enter the hall and walk about among tbe drugs for an hour or more. Throughout tha week the hall has been filled from morning until night with a constantly moving crowd. There are never less than a hundred women in the room at a time, and tbe way they go for the samples is a curious commentary upon the sex. Just at the mam entrance to the armory is a stand upon which a well-known firm has arrayed an attractive display of a compound known as "bovinine." They have several thousand bottles which are labeled "physicians' samples." The women seem to have a strong fancy for bovinine, and there is scarcely one in five who leaves the hall without a bottle in her satchel or her pocket. The professional samplo gatherer makes several trips each day. She takes anything that is offered. In the middle of the hall is tbe display of a big pill-manufacturing house. Mrs. Sampler heads in that direction, and inquires about the composition of one variety. Before she leaves she has tasted three different kinds, and she bears away with her a whole case ot samples. They are of no earthly use to her, but she must have them. Then she discovers that there are a great many samples of different kinds of plasters in another part of the room. She heads . in that direction, and comes away with a box full of all sorts. Over on the south side is a hugs pyramid of bottles containing a transparent fluid of remarkable purity. It proves to be exhibited by a Cincinnati house, and is a new substance called vegela'Jie giyceriut). j. uo juuuij uiau tu cuirga ui the table is from the West, and is "fly." He keeps all his sample bottles hidden, and only brings out one when a physician wearing the prescribed badge takes enough iuterest to make some inouiries as to the new preparation. One nld Inriv nihniA rm vra f&irlv 1nnrfrf An-vcn with spoils made op her mind that she would have a bottle of glycerine. She began the assault by saying that she never knew before that glycerine could be made out of beets, turnips and such. She always supposed tbat hog fat was the only substance from which the valuable remedy could be produced. She talked so fast and so long that she finally captured the fly young man and left him with two bottles in her pocket. Just in the rear of the glycerine exhibit is the vaseline table. Everyone has learned that vase' line is a wonderful preparation of common petroleum oil. But very few people have any idea of the wide scope with which it is filling in the pharmacopoeia. It is well known that the product of petroleum, which is commonly called vaseline, has wonderful penetrating properties. For this reason it is of great value in all forms of ointment, and it has been need in this connection for a great many years. But it is only within the nast fpw weelrn thut the AiRCnvmrv ha konn i made that it ran he nsad in tha WIapa at !.--.nl i in extracting the essential oils of nearly all ; plants. In the exhibit, this week, there are a , number of new combinations of vaseline, all of ' which have attracted the attention of the medi- . calmen. Soaps, pomades, ointments, cold-cream, cosmetics, and even candies, the base of ; which is this product of petroleum, have been known for a long time. But not until this exhibition was opened was there any general knowledge that solid extracts of jasmine, roses, geraniums and otner sweet-scented flowers conld be found in this form. The exhibit shows, too, that opium, pepper, mustard, tobacco, ginger and a hundred other drugs can be combined with vaseline. It was the opinion of many physicians, expressed in the hall, that only the beginning of the uses to which petroleum may be brought in the practice of medicine has yet been discovered. At this table the experienced gatherer of samples reaps a rich harvest. There are so many preparations put up in convenient form that the persistent woman is enabled to carry away with her a supply of valuable toilet preparations which will last her family a Ions time. But it is not only the uSefnl articles, ranging from artificial baby food to porous plasters, that tho sampler carries away. All is fish that comes to her net, and a package of colocynta pills is as acceptable as a sample of antiseptic cotton. But it is in tbe liquids which are "drunk on the premises" that she finds the greatest delight. 1 There are a dozen tables at which are dispensed as many different fluids. One of tbe female visitors to the place on Wednesday drank three ' glasses of different kinds of mineral water, a 1 cup of extract of beef, a small glass of orange wine and a cup of eucoa. This did not satisfy her thirst entirely, and before leaving the hall she succeeded in finding room for a copious dose of extract of malt and a liberal supply of pressed juice of beef. That woman mnst have a stomach like an ostrich, bnt she did not miss a single day in collecting samples, and her house doubt- ' let's represents a small drug atore. One part of the exhibition is exceedingly interesting from a scientific standpoint. That is the evidence which is seen everywhere of the attempt by manufacturer's to produce antiseptio preparations. The prevention of blood poisonlog is one of the subjects which has been agitating the best physicians for years. The old days when rusty instruments were left uncleansed from the time of one operation until another was to be performed have passed away. : The physician and the surgeon of to-day are equally careful to adopt every means available to prevept the poisoning of the blood and to j check the spread, of germs of disease. For i this reason the men who supply the needs of the faculty are constantly ' striving to produce compounds which will j kill the microbes and prevent contagion. Ant! j septic cotton and linen for dressing amputations and fractures, antiseptio washes to Kill disease germs, and antiseptic sprays for similar purposes are displayed in all parts of the ball. , The high-smelline and clothe staining prepara- j lions are rapidly being crowded to the rear, and in their places are preparations of turpen- ' tine called sanitas, and other aromatic pleasing compounds, which are not only acceptable to the nostril, but which can readily be eudured io the mouth of the delicate patient who may be suffering from diphtheria or tuberculosis.
