Bowlsby, of Patterson, New Jersey. A further search of
Rosenzweig's premises resulted in the finding of a handkerchief marked
with the dead woman's name, and other evidence was brought to light all
making it too plain for doubt that Alice Bowlsby had died from the
effects of an abortion produced upon her by Jacob Rosenzweig. The wretch
was tried for his offence, convicted, and sentenced to seven years of
hard labor in the penitentiary.

This affair produced a profound impression not only upon the city, but
upon the whole country, and drew the attention of the public so strongly
to the subject of abortion as a trade, that there is reason to believe
that some steps will be taken to check the horrible traffic.

Bad as Rosenzweig was, he was but one of a set who are so numerous in the

These are genuine advertisements, taken from a daily journal of great
wealth and influence, which every morning finds its way into hundreds of
families. The persons thus advertising are all of them members of the
most dangerous and disreputable portion of the community. They do not,
indeed, attack citizens on the streets, but, what is worse and more
cowardly, exert their skill for the purpose of destroying human life
which is too helpless to resist, and which has no protector. These
persons impudently assert that they do not violate the law in their
infamous trade, but it needs
