LARGE SPOT ON ME SUN
Fhanomenon Visible to ths Hiked Eja in
Oaths This Honing.
FATHER RIGGE TALKS OF THE CONDITION
shirrs Slse of Object aa Compared with
the Earth and Sara Effect
a Climate la Problematical.
. Considerable Interest was shown In
Omaha yesterday by thtute people who
were fortunate enough to ar the sun, which
waa vlalblj for an hour after rlning. To
the naked eye there appeared a spot about
the sise of a man'i hand, and many were
the comments upon the phenomenon, to
gether with speculation as to what. If any,
effect the aun spot had upon the present
cold weather.
Speaking of the sun spot Father William
P. Rigge of Crelghton university says:
"All lovers of astronomy will be delighted
to know that there Is now a spot of un
usual size upon the sun, so large in tact
that It can be seen by the naked eye when
the sun's Intense glare Is screened through
a smoked glass. That the spot Is of un
usual dimensions is evident from V f
momenta' reflection and measurement. The
sun's diameter Is 886,000 miles and a spot
Whose diameter Is that of one one
hundredth of the sun would be as large as
the earth. Now a spot one one-hundredth
the diameter of the aun could not possibly
fee seen by the naked eye. This one Is
probably one-tenth of the sun's diameter
that Is, about 80,000 miles across so that
about ten earths In a line could be dropped
into It. The penumbral fringe of course
extends much farther and must be nitfh
larger. In fact this spot is really a group
of spots and the dlHturbance on the sun
must extend to probably 200,000 miles. To
the naked "eye protected, of course, by a
smoked glass the spot Is a beautiful ob
ject, situated as it ia almost at the sun's
very, center.
What a Sunapot la.
: "What a spot on the sun really Is, It Is
not possible to define with accuracy. It Is
probably a disturbance of such a nature as
a storm on earth, but Incomparably more
Violent. The central or darkest part of a
spot is black only by contrast. If the rest
of the sun Is screened from view this dark
spot Is more brilliant than an electric arc
light.
"When a spot breaks out upon the sun
there is often a disturbance of the mag
netic needle on earth, although tho connec
tion between the two, while true in the
long run, may not always be true In any
Individual case. These spots run through a
cycle of 11.1 years, increasing and decreas
ing In number. And they are confined to
two belts on either side of the sun's
equator, somewhat like our temperate zones
on earth, although these belts are much
narrower on the sun. No spot has ever
been seen beyond hellographic latitude 43
degrees and very few ever appear upon the
aun'a equator.
"Besides the excellent view furnished
through a smoked glass, a piece of card
board pierced by a hole about the size of a
lead pencil will when presented to the sun
form an Imago of It on the floor or wall,
or, better, on a piece of white paper. In
this way the size of the spot can be meas
ured." Chlcaso People Watch.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-A spi OI, lf,e sun
was visible through the tnuity atmosphere
here today without the aid ot a telescope.
Triangular In outline, the blotch appeared
In longest dimension to be one-eighth of
the sun's diameter. Throngs gathered In
the streets to see the phenomenon. As
tronomers have been taking note of the spot
for several days, but only today did the
excitement of Jay observers become pronounced.
Meal Proves Costly.
Friday evening Jack O'Reel and John
Ohant of South Omaha were arrested at
the Bon Ton restaurant on the charge of
refusing to comply with one of the rules
of that place, the rule being that pertain
ing to the payment of meals. One of the
rules of the Bon Ton is that guests shall
pay for men la, but It appears from the
evidence offered In police court that O'Reel
and Ohant did not take kindly to this
stipulation and forthwith declared war on
the Chinese restaurant. O'Reel was fined
14 snd costs and Uhunt $t and coBts by the
police judge.
VON SCHILLER'S lTfeT STORY
On re Well Katni Germaa Actor In
Police t'oart Among the
Vagrant List.
Count von Schiller was the cynosure for
all eyes when he was arraigned In police
court on the charge of being a vagrant.
Behind the neglected appearance of the
man was the suggestion of better days.
Ills language, articulation, his manners, at
once commanded the attention of the court
and spectators. And. a! he stood before
the police magistrate, he represented a life
tragedy. Twenty years ago von Schiller
wna the star of a German stock company
playing at Tenth and Jackson streets. His
name at that tlmo was announced on
the bill boards ns the "versatile actor."
llo won his Thespian spurs In the father
land and drifted to Omaha. On Friday1
he was arrested with nine other "vagrants"
In a saloon nt Tenth and Howard streets.
Just one block from the scene where von
Schiller nearly a quarter of a century ago
won the plaudits of the crowd.
And an Interesting feature In connection
f'tli Von Schiller's appearance was that
Police Judge Berka rememliered the man
as an nctor and said thJt twenty-one
years ago he paid to hoar the man speak
his lines and was thrillrd.
"It harks back to old times," remarked
the Judge.
Today Von Schiller is tending a furnaee
and doing other odd Jobs at a home on St.
Mary's avenue for his board and room. He
Is 63 years of age. The police Judge dis
charged him.
BUSHY TRUSTS THE STRANGER
Young; Man from Crete Believes the
Freight BUI Man Will Yet Re
deem the Check,
Harry Bushy of Crete told the police he
would not let a little thing like losing $15
on a bogus freight bill racket shako his
faith in humanity. Bushy Just called at
police headquarters to tell of his experi
ence with a genial appearing man with a
hard lucli story, a freight bill and a check
for $:O0. Bushy now has the freight bill
und tho check, while the other man has the
$15. Bushy cumo from Crete to Omaha and
looked cold and alone on a sent at the
Union station. He was accosted In the
usual manner of the freight bill fraternity.
Bushy and his companion agreed the
weather was cold and tfme fleeting. They
had a drink together. The rest of the trans
action happened in the usual way, aa chron
icled since time immemorial. The only
feature of Bushy's case is his long-suffering
confidence in the man who confldenced him.
He actually asked the police not to begin
a search for the stranger for a few days,
as BuBhy felt sure the stranger would yet
make It all right.
EXPRESSMAN IN TROUBLE NOW
Drives I'nfalr llara-aln with Traveler
and Charges for Work
No Doae.
An investigation made by Officer Cun
ningham, who arrested Press Weaver of
2742 South Tenth street, an expressman,
revealed the Information that Weaver not
only overcharged a patron, but collected 75
cents for a trunk that was not hauled at
all by Weaver, so the officer states. George
Hlrsch, a traveler, enroute from St. Ed
wards, Neb., to Hamburg, Ia., is said to
have been accosted, by Weaver, who was
to haul Hlrsch'a baggage from one depot
to the other, when, as a matter of fact,
the trunk had been checked through to
destination. A charge of overcharging for
hauling a trunk within a mile was filed
against Weaver In police court, but when
the arresting officer made known the facta
as he found them the case was set for
hearing next Monday, when, it Is said, an
other charge will be filed against the ex
pressman. '

DECLINES TO filVE OUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Feat area of Balldluga laapaeted that
May Be Incorporated la th
Oae to ne Erected
In Omnna.
The members of the Yoang Men's Chrla
tian association who went east on the build
ing hint and Inspection tour for the benefit
of the new Omaha building have returned
and are busy compiling a report, which will
be presented, with their suggestions and
deductions, at the next meeting of the
board of directors, which will come Tues
day night, February 11. Before that time
the members of this committee, which con
slats of Secretary Wade, Architect Q. L.
Fisher, J. A. Sunderland and J. H. Dumont,
decline to make public their Ideas on the
features of the Omaha building. After that
time the building committee, the board of
directors and the executive committee and
everyone else, it is predicted, will Immedi
ately become very buny for the next three
months in formulating and completing
plans for the new building, which Is to
stand at Sixteenth and Howard streets.
Where Committee Visited.
Aa the trip was taken to gain Ideas aa to
the latest things In association building,
there seems little doubt tbe features found
to be flourishing in tho associations vlritcd
will be Incorporated In the Omaha plan so
far as money permits. Tho committee In
spected buildings at Dayton, Toledo, De
troit, Buffalo, Scriuiton, Chicago and two In
New York City and two In Brooklyn. In
all of these they found the same Ideas more
or less extensively developed and will
recommend them doubtless for Omaha.
All of the associations have dormitories.
These are conducted like rooms In an ordi
nary European hotel and prices which
seem to attempt In every city to be the
same as charged In apartment houses and
other rooming places for the same accom
modation. The association figures show 86
per cent of young men In cities live away
from home. The dormitories are found to
be an excellent thing for the association,
bringing tho. young men into the building
at all times and making a good income.
Some of the eastern buildings depend
largely on this money. One of the New
York associations Is building an additional
house with nothing elso but dormitories.
Omaha will undoubtedly provide for at
least 150 men In its building. It will also
have shops on the ground floor.
Restaurants a Feature.
Restaurants were found In all of the
buildings except at Bcranton. They are
maintained primarily for the use and bene
fit of the members living In the building.
They serve three meals a day and in most
cases were for members only. It is said
none of the association cafes sampled waa
up to the new Commercial club service.
In Buffalo there are three places for re
freshmenta In the building, one of them a
sort of pie - sandwich - carbonated water
buffet The Omaha association at one time
maintained a-publlc restaurant.
The gymnasium, baths shower and pool
and other athletic appointments were found
to receive as much attention as before, but
the large private theater, or auditorium,
was found to be on the decline. Every
where the committee waa advised to avoid
a large auditorium and to make It with
flat floor and possibly one story high, hav
ing movable chairs, ao that It could be
used for a banquet ha.ll and similar pur
poses. Kitchens and pantries were found
to be convenient to these halls. Tho pres
ent Omaha, building waa put In with a
theater, but this had to be rebuilt for other
purposes later. The new building will
probably not give great space to this fea
ture. Room for Educational Work.
Rocms will undoubtedly be designed for
the educational work. This was found to
be the crowning feature of associations In
the east, and all the new buildings had
regular class rooms like a school house.
In these were permanently installed equip
ment for electrical, chemical, drawing njid
other courses. In the West Side associa
tion In Manhattan waa found a real estate
class of 226 members, with a tuition fee of
$40 and paying a lecturer $1,000. More In
teresting waa an automobile class. This
numbered 447 members, of whom seventy
five were machine owners. Th nth..
were atudying to become profesalonal chaf-
reurs. Francis Wilson, the comedian, was
one of the students, and upon graduation
will be able to run a man down In a very
comical manner and without profanity. The
tuition foe la $40. The Omaha association
haa some well advanced aducAHnnsLi wnrv
and this department will undoubtedly re
cejve muca attention in the new building.
ROOM FOR THE PIANO FACTORY

Behmoller ft Mueller have leased the four
atory building, 1407 Harney street, which
haa been occupied by the Western Bar Fix
ture and Supply company, and will move
their manufacturing department. The
piano men at present have their faotory
aci-ons the street from the salesrooms, using
the two upper floors of 1310 Famam street
over the Omaha Clothing company. This
did not give them enough room for their
work and ao they have secured the Har
ney atreet building. According to Mr.
Behmoller, the faotory will, be doubled In
capacity and additional supplies are now
on the road for its use. Possession will
be given between the 16th and 20th ot the

Millions Know
That Liquozone Does What Medicine Cannot Do. A 5oc Bottle Free.
There are at least three million homes
in America which know from experience
the value of Liquozone. Home of those
homes use It Simply to keep well, as we
do But tens of thousands have Uvea
that were saved by it
Yet some remain sick with a jrenn
disease while all of those millions know
that Liquozone euro. Some still cling
to drugs for what drugs never can do.
They are wronging themselves. Their
own friends their own neighbors can
tell them the way to get well.
We ask those sick ones to write us.
We will buy for each one the first lottlo
of Liquozone, and pay the druggist our
selves for it. Each Is welcome to try It
at our expense, then let the results de
cide about fining It afterwards.
iJou't try to kill Inside perms with
drugs, for you cannot. lon't cling
blindly to old methods of treatment,
used before germs were discovered.
I.iet us prove what this new way means
to you.
Not Medicine.
Liiluo::tiie Is not made, like medicine,
by compounding acids and drugs; nor Is
there any alcohol in It. Its virtues are
derived solely from gas, made in large
part from the best oxygen producers.
The process of making takes 14 days,
and requires immense apparatus. At
the end of two weeks, we get one cubic
Inch of Liquozone for each 1.2."i0 cubic
inches of gas used. The attainment of
this product has, for more than twenty
years, been the constant subject of sci
entific and chemical research.
Tho main result Is, to get Into a liquid,
and thus into the blood, a powerful, yet
harmless germicide. And the product
is so helpful so good for you under any
condition that even a well person feels
its Instant benefit.
This is the pntduct which In the jmst
two years has sprung Into world-wide
use In the treatment of germ discuses.
It is now used by the sick of nine
nations; by physicians and hospitals
everywhere. It Is dally used In millions
of homes in America-
We Paid $100,000
I For the American rights to Liquozone,
'and the rights In other countries have
I sold for proportionate sums. We men
tion this fact to indicate the value of
Llnuozone the value to you. Men have
never before paid such a price for any
discovery used In tbe cure of sickness.
We need not tell you that we proved
Liquozone well before buying it. For
years It was tested through physicians
and hospitals, in this country and others.
It was employed In every stage of every
germ disease; in all the most difficult
cases obtainable. With thousands of
sick ones, considered Incurable, we
proved that It did what medicine could
not do. Then, and then only, did we
pay the price.
Since then we have spent nearly
J'J.tiOO.iWX) to make Liquozone known.
We have bought the lirst bottle and
given it free to every sick one we learned
of. These pople told others, and the
others taltl others. The result is that
IJquozone Is now more widely employed
than any medicine ever was. And no
one can doubt that it is doing more for
sick humanity that all tbe drugs in use
combined.
Kills Inside Germs.
The greatest value of Liquozone lies
in the fact that it kills germs In the
body without killing the tissues,, too.
And no man knows another way to do
it. Any drug that kills germs is a
poison, and It cannot be taken internally.
For that reason, medicine is almost help
less in any germ disease.
Liquozone Is a germicide so certain
that we publish on every Imttle an offer
of $1,000 for a disease germ that it can
not kill. Yet it Is not only harmless but
of wonderful benefit better than any
thing else In the world for you. No one
Is so well that he cannot be helped by It.
The reason Is that germs are vege
tables; and Llquozlue like an excess
of oxygen Is deadly to vegetal matter.
To the human body Liquozone Is ex
hilarating, vitalizing. purifying the
most needful, the most helpful thing
possible. Hut to germs it Is certain
destruction; and these fact are true of
nothing else in existence.
Germ Diseases.
These are the knowu germ diseases'
all due to germs or to the poisons which'
germs create. These are the diseases to
which medicine docs not apply, for drugs
cannot kill Inside germs.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles Is to net ns a tonic, aiding
Nature to overcome the genus. Hut
those resullts are Indirect and uncertain,
depending on the patient's condition.
A cure Is always doubtful when dnis
are used, and some of these diseases
medicine never cures.
Liquozone alone can destroy the cause
of these troubles. It goes wherever the
blood goes, so that no genu can escape
It. The results are almost Inevitable.
Diseases which have resisted medicine
for years yield at once, to Liquozone.
"Incurable" diseases nre cured by It.
In uny stage of any disease In this list
the results are so certain that we will
gladly send to any patient who asks It
an absolute guaranty.

CAS TANK WRECKS A COACH
Unique Accident on Burlington Train on
Its Way to Omaha.
LEAK DEVELOPS WHEN NEAR LIGHT
Car Cleaner Burned Sliuhtlr, but
Shovra Pre.enoe of Mind by
Carrying I.eaUy Tank
Ont of Train.
A partition waa blown out of the front
of the day coach and a car man was badly
burned while attempting to put In a new
cartridge of acetylene on train No. 13 on
the Burlington Friday night. When the
train reached Omaha the coach looked as
If some one had touched oft a Rusnlan
bomb In the forward- part of the car. This
coach Is one of the modem cars with a
smoking compartment divided from the
rest of the coach with a glass partition.
It sometimes becomes necessary to re
plenish the reservoirs of the lamps with
a new cartridge of gas after the train has
been some hours out. A car man attempted
to do this, but the cartridge, which weighs
about 100 pounds, leaked, and when he
reached the lighted coach an explosion fol
lowed. The glass of the partition waa
forced out and the car man was knocked
down, but ho retained his presence of mind
and hurriedly put the leaky tank out of
doors before further damage was possible.
Tho car man had his hair and eyebrows
singed and he received some painful bums,
but none of them serious. Conductor I
C. Erwin had charge of the train.
Close Call tor Wreck.
Conduotor Erwin was In charge of a train
which had a rather narrow escape a few
days ago, and but for his vigilance would
certainly have met with a serious accident.
He waa In the baggage car when he heard
grinding under the car and something
struck one of the gas tanks with a terrific
Jar. Something evidently had gone wrong
and he waited for the air brakes to be put
on, but the engineer evidently had not been
disturbed by the noise and Conductor Er
win pulled the rope for the brakes. The
train waa making fifty miles an hour at the
time on a straight stretch of track.
With the engineer he made an examina
tion and it waa found that one of the trucks
of the engine had been torn loose. The
wheels on each aide were still In place, held
there temporarily by aome light gearing.
One end of the truck had torn loose and aa
It swung around was broken off on the
other aide and thrown with fearful velocity
against the tank, which It dented. The
train was between atationa and it waa tea
miles to the nearest telegraph office, but by
going alow It was believed the diatance
could be covered, aa there were no curvea
In the road to contend with and the wheels
were still firm in the oil boxea. The at
tempt was made, but It took fifty minutes
to cover the ten miles.
COUNTY PROPERTY SCHEDULES
Inventories Filed by Custodians with

Show a Varied Llat.
The Invotoea of county property called
for by a resolution of Commissioner
Tralnor at the first meeting of the new
Board of Commissioners have all been pre
pared and were placed on file at the Sat
urday meeting for reference. Following la
a aynopsla:
County Agent Tom O'Connor had on hand
at the county store January SO 1,250 pounds
of flour, 1.139 pounds of sugar, 250 pounds
of coffee, 169 pounds of tea, 1.260 pounds of
beans, 237 pounds of lice, K0 pounds of
rolled oats, 1,004 pounds of cornmeal, 125
pounds of aalt pork, 280 pounds of salt and
1,960 bars of aoap. There axe four deska,
two effioe chairs, four common chairs and
one heating stove.
The Invoice of County Jailer Roach spe
cifies all aorta of utensils for keeping the
jail clean and also many useful articles of
divers and sundry aorta. The stock of
clothing la tbe largeat item, there being 260
pants and the same number of ahlrta. The
prisoners have 200 pairs of blankets to keep
them comfortable on cold nights.
Ed Dee, superintendent of the court
house, Itemlsea hla return to Include every,
thing in the different court rooms and In
all the other rooms of the county building.
By taking thla Invoice and going to any
particular room at any time the commis
sioners can ascertain just the amount of
wear and tear the judges' benches, the
chairs and the tablea are undergoing aa a
result of properly sustaining the dignity of
Douglas county when Justice la working
overtime. Ths Invoice doesn't aay so,
but aome of the carpets In the court rooms
could furnish many mlorobea that are of
doubtful value to the healthful administra
tion of the taw.
The Invoice of the county hospital reads
like that of a large general store, running
the gamut from dish pans to side tablea,
from sauce dishes to steam table, from
garden busts to gravy bowls, from kindling
to fire extinguishers. There Is one straight
Jacket and a psir of bod straps, likewise a
mult, not to be worn as a preventive
OKiUnpt cold, but to make harmless tho
vindictive hands controlled by a disordered
brain. There are potted plants, pictures
and some carpet: alo some wax designs.
There Is also a bunch of live stock and
many farm Implements; also considerable
fodder. .There Is a barber shop and an
undertaker's room, hIso a drug room, with
an Inventory that reads like a catnlogue
of a wholesale drug house. Another de
partment of the invoice resembles nothing
so much as a good, fat plumber's bill or a
fat hill from a plumber, with the prices
left blank.
There are at present 227 Inmates of the
farm and hospital.
STATUE DOES NOT PLEASE ALL
Objections Mule to Erection of Effigy
of Joseph Cnllen Root on
Park Ground.
It Is snld that protests are to be made to
the park board against permitting the
Woodmen of the World, a fraternal order
having many members and head offices In
Omaha, from erecting a statue of Its
founder and presiding sovereign com
mander, Joseph Cullen Root, at the Inter
section of Seventeenth street and Capitol
avenue. The board already has given the
permission, provided the plans of the statue
be submitted for aprroval and that It cost
not less than $4,000. The avenue is parked
at the point designated and Is under the
control of the park commissioners. The
objections to a public statue of Mr. Root
are based on the grounds that his Image
will be tbe first of the kind ever erected
In the city; that he has not performed
public service that entitles him to the
honor, and because of alleged stains on his
personal character, to substantiate which
evidence Is said to be in existence and
procurable. In case the park commission
ers do not rescind the permission, Injunc
tion proceedings by City Attorney Carl C.
Wright have been threatened.
As planned the statue would be eight
feet high and the pednstal twelve feet
What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body In Health and
Dleenae.
The mention of sulphur will recall to
many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave ua our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses every
spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and
mind you. this oM-fashloned remedy was
not without merit.
The Idea was good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity
had to be taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects
of sulphur in a palatable, concentrated
form, so that a single grain is far more
effective than a tabiespoonful of the crude
sulphur.
In recent years research and experiment
have proven that the best sulphur for
medicinal use is that obtained from Cal
cium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium
Wafers. They are small chocolate coated
pellets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur In a highly con
centrated, effective form.
Few people are aware; (fir the value of
this form of sulphur In restoring and main
taining bodily vigor and health; sulphur
acts directly on the liver, and excretory
organs and purifies and enriches the blood
by the prompt elimination of waste ma
terial. Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosed ua with sulphur and molaseea every
spring and fall but the crudity and Impurity
of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often
worse than the disease, and cannot com
pare with the modern concentrated prep
arations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles and cure constipation
and purify the blood in a way that often
surprises patient and physicians alike.
Dr. R. M. Wllktns while experimenting
with sulphur remedies soon found thst the
sulphur from Calcium waa superior to any
other form. He says: "For liver, kidney
and blood troubles, especially when result
ing from constipation or malaria, I have
been surprised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Wafera. In patients suf
fering from bolls and pimples and even
deep-seated carbunclea. I have repeatedly
aeen them dry up and disappear In four
or five days, leaving the skin clear and
smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers
is a proprietary article and sold by drug
gists and for that reason tabooed by many
physicians, yet I know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and kid
ney troubles and especially In all forms of
skin diseases aa this remedy."
At any rate pnP'e who are tired of pills,
cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers"
will find In Stuart's Calcium Wafers, a
far safer, mors palatable and effective
preparation.

FOR
Everything haa to have a beginning, and one of the most prolific aources of
the diseases and weaknesses so prevalent f..nong men Is the result of aonse
in early life or neglected or improperly featea pelvic diseases, such as Gon
orrhoea, etc. While Gonorrhoea Is considered on of the simplest contagious
diseases, yet through neglect it develops ln'o Sticture and Gleet, insidiously
progressing and tenaciously fastening i.sei' upon the system until It has in
vaded the kidney, bladder and prostatic regions, rendering it so complicates as
to become incurable in some cases. Perhaps tho llrst symptom was a J'ttio
discharge, whfeh. If properly treated, could have been cured in a few days.
Rheumatism Is another result of Improper treatment of this .condition pro
ducing not only excruciating pain, but it frequently warps and twists one or
more of the Joints in the body, producing horrible deformities, frequently de
priving the Individual of the ability to earn a living for himself, leaving him a
helpless and tortured cripple for life. Another deplorable result of this disease
when Improperly treated Is swollen glands, that are not only painful, but will
Anally destroy a man sexually, and in many cases physically. When this dis
ease, through neglect or Improper treatment by its extension has caused a
cystltlo invasion of the bladder, thence by ita extension up to the ureteres to the
kidney, it there produces results that are indeed lamentable. Some men through
Ignorance of the consequences which are sure to follow neglect or Improper
treatment, consider this a trifling ailment and roly upon patent medicines, drug
. gists and skilled doctors In an effort to secure relief for tho rost of a bottle
of medicine, and bv this proceedure allow the disease to make such serloi.s in
roads upon the sexual and nervous syHttin that It incapacitates them for the
physical, mental and sexual duties of life, and the pattpnt pays denrly for his
economy, or the selection of incompetent attendance.
