lias been widely used with most wonderful results by many
of tlie English troops in France in the treatment of wounds,
burns, colds, rheumatism and other inflammatory condi
tions caused by war and the terrible exposure of trench life.
The British Royal Army Medical Corps and military
hospitals have also used great quantities of lon-o-lex
Unguent in the treatment of the sick and wounded, one
hospital alone using over 250 gallons in six weeks.

TUESDAY EVENING.
NISSLEY NOT YET
APPREHENDED BY
FEDERAL OFFICERS
Stcelfon Man Charged With
Conspiracy in Stock Deals
Still at Large
At a late hour this afternoon no
action had been talten before United
State Commissioner Leßoy J. Wolfe,
against Amos H. Nissley, of Steelton,
charging the latter with conspiring to
defraud by using the malls.
According to a dispatch from Phil
adelphia bail for Nissley has been set
at $ 7,000 and Post Office Inspector
Frank Wilbur Smith, of Philadelphia,
is to apprehend Nissley. The prelim
inary case will probably bo brought
before Commissioner Wolfe.
Nissley, it was understood, at noon
to-day was arranging with attorneys
concernings the case, and it is expect
ed that the formal action against him
will be completed late in the after
noon.
He is charged, according to indict
ments by the Federal Grand Jury at
Philadelphia, under a charge of be
ing Implicated with Clawson Baeh
man and Joseph T. Hayden, Philadel
phia, in defrauding investors out of
more than $1,500,000 during the last
five years.
N f ews of the indictments became
known yesterday during the bankrupt
cy proceedings against the Interna
tional Gas and Electric Company.
At the Elite Shoo Repairing shop
to-day, it was said that Mr. Nissley is
no longer connected with that firm,
as was reported yesterday.
Inspector at Work a Year
The indictments on Saturday at
Philadelphia were the result of one
year's work by Inspector Smith. Bach
man and Hayden were also said to be
Interested in the Bay State Mutual
Life Insurance Company, which went
into the hands pf the receiver several
years ago. Rumors were afloat then
that flyers in high finance had been
taken, but authorities did not molest
any of the officials.
Reports from Philadelphia increase
the figures of the frauds practiced on
residents in Dauphin and Lancaster
counties, and according: to Inspector
Smith one million dollars had been
received through stock transactions.
Charges have also been made by the
postal inspector that the corporation
"kited" checks to the amount of $40,-
000 a day and established the Bank of
Independence, in Logan, as a clear
ing house for their paper. This bank
was liquidated recently.
The International Gas and Electric
Company was chartered in September,
1911, under the laws of Delaware with
a capitalization of $1,500,000. Later
another corporation, the Southern Gas
Company, was chartered with $60,000
capital stock. The post office author
ities declare that this second corpor
ation did not have a single dollar
of assets, but was used to sell stock
fraudulently when investors had be
come wary of the financial methods of
the International Company.
Under its charter the International
Gas and Electric Company was per
mitted to "operate, construct and
maintain" gas plants in various sec
tions of the country. The directors
claimed to have control of a number
of subsidiary corporations, whose
stocks and bonds were as follows:
Georgetown Railway and Light
Company, Georgetown, S. C.; common
stock, $51,875.
Georgetown Gas and Electric Com
pany, Georgetown, S. C.; SIOO,OOO
common stock.
Southern Gas and Electric Com.
pany; common stock, SIOO,OOO.
Concord Gas Company, Concord, N.
C.; common stock, $100,000; first
mortgage 6 per cent, bonds, $240,000.
Gaston County Gas Company, Gas
tonia, X. C.; common stock, $300,000;
first mortgage bonds, $225,000.
Suburban Gas Company, East Syra
cuse, N. Y.; common stock, $10,000;
6 per cent, gold notes, $40,000. (This
corporation denied yesterday that it
was connected with these enterprises
in any manner.
Another charge made by the au
thorities is that "blue stock" had been
| issued by the International Company,
lin companies which had no assets. It
is on this charge that Inspector
Smith obtained the indictment.
In Steelton, Oberlin and other near
by places where the stock had been
sold by Nissley, according to reports
to-day, it is claimed that Nissley him
self lost money when the crash came
some time ago. Many stories have
been circulated about alleged methods
of Nissley in selling stock.
Among the persons who have lost
money because of the crash are a
large number of people, who, it is
said, acted on Nissley's advice and
bought stock as a profitable invest
ment for the savings of a lifetime. A
number of more prominent people,
too, have been defrauded, it is alleged,
some of them losing thousands of
dollars.
Little was said in Steelton for some
time about the collapse of the com
pany, although it was generally known
by the majority of residents. Nothing
has been done, recently, it was said
to-day, to start . '•occedings with a
view of getting ar.j of the money
back.

his influence and ability are sure to

ized effort directed by the American

MEDICINE WILL END
RHEUMATISM
It matters not whether you have
had agonizing pains from rheumatism
for 20 years or distressing twitchings
for 20 weeks, Rheuma is strong enough
and mighty and powerful enough
to drive rheumatic poisops from your
body and abolish all misery or money
back.
H. C. Kennedy and all druggists sell
Rheuma on a no-cure-no-pay basis for
not more than 60 cents a bottle, and
after you take a half-teaspoonful once
a day for two days you should know
that at last you have obtained a
remedy that will conquer rheumatism.
For over live years throughout
America Rheuma has been prescribed
by broad-minded physicians and has
j released thousands from agony, pain
