the consolidation al the effects and
belongiAgs Of the U. 8. company
Each company still retains the use Of

The success Of DIR. Caster, since he
arsived In this city, eight years ago,
iis most wonderful. Coming here
with fortune of less than $500, he
has amused large fortune, for the

Drovements In this city about ga, 600.
His uninterrupted prosperity is the
most remarkable instance of success
in a satirsly new process Of treat

medicine, and having really no knowl-
edge Of what constitutes the efficacy
Of bis treatment, yet he has 90 bene-

hundreds upon hundreds Of patients
Ill over the United States who speak
