Recent ndvleeg from across tho pond con
oy tho somewhat stnttllug news that the
chief of Tammany hall, tho leader of New
York City's great untcrrlllcd and unwushed
democracy, has betaken himself and a bad
case of rheumatism to a famous European
bath. All other means which wealth could
command havo failed and Mr. Croker Is
forced nt last to try nature's own remedy,
the simplest and cheapest nnd usually about
tho last ouo prescribed. There are many
people right hero in Omaha who would do
well to follow tho example! which ho has
set, but happily they need not undertake, un
ocean oyage, for tho same relief may bo
obtnlned at home. Most people, uppnieutly,
bathe from force of habit rather from tho
conviction that proper bathing Is ona of
nature's curutlvo agents. Tho Idea, seems
to prevail that drugs, liniments and lotions
nro tho only remedies for rheumatism und
kindred Ills und that Is carefully fostered
by tho pntent medicine men. Thero never
was n greater or more popular error. The
peoplo of European countries patronize tho
bath In ono form or another for nearly nil
Ills which flesh is heir to, and tho steadily
Inciraslng patronage proves thu elllcacy of
the treatment. In Norway nnd Sweden tho
nir.tsago treatment has reached Its highest
development nnd graduates from the cele
brated Institutes from those two countries
have carried that healing and health-giving
nrt nil over tho world. Ono of these grad
uates from tho Central Instltuto of Stock
holm Is now employed at The Dathery, und
her work has been highly satisfactory. For
rheumatism Tho Dathery treatment consists
of TurklBh baths, supplemented by mas
sago nnd electrical treatment, nnd mnny
coitpleto cures havo been elfected. Every
part of tho system Is benefited. Nervous
troubles disappear, tho skin becomes clear
and healthy, and It Is llko an Infimlon of
new life nnd vigor. Those who arc too thin
or who suffer from excessive stoutness will
find a sure remedy In this treatment, and
It Is tho only safo and permanent means
of developing tho bust, rounding out the
flgtllo and removing wrinkles. A visit to
Tho Dathery and a few trial treatments
will convince tho most Incredulous. The
new stylo Turkish baths arc delightful nnd
different from anything heretofore known.
Trained women glvo the baths and treat
ments. For ladles only. Second floor, Dee
building, rooms 210 to 220.
