THE HEALING ART IN KANSAS.

Lawrence, the Center of Learning, Has
Naturally Become the Center of the
Art Curative.
This is scientific age. The man who
| succeeds now must work In harmony with
the discovered laws of nature. The time
when few drugs, carelessly compounded,
and tabled with some horrible foreign
name, could be placed upon the market has
passed by. In every department of bust
ness the same principle obtains. It Is q
fact that the medincine that sells to-day
must be so skilfully prepared, that it meets
every emergency and adapts itself to the
varying conditions Of each system. 1t was
with this belief thoroughly impressed upon
his mind that the Lawrence correspondent
Of the Journal walked down to the Office of
the Leis' Chemical Manufacturing COM
pany, yesterday, and interviewed Mr.. Geo.
organization, regarding the reception CIV
en- their preparations by the public.
when we occupy our new building on
the corner of Massachusetts, and Pinckney
Streets" said Mr.. Leis, Sthe public will be-
gin to appreciate more than It does now the
daily"
ais your celebrated Dandelion Tonic a
success ?" asked the scribe.
"As to that" was the reply, II would pre-
fer that you should see those who have
used it. Leis' Dandelion Tonic as you NAV
know, is so compounded that its effect is to
tone up the system and relieve il of mala-
rial disorder, to stimulate the liver and
kidneys into healthy action and to replace
nervous waste. 1t is also of especial value
in sick headache, debility and that class of
diseases in the treatment of which tonics
are indicated"
The Journal man then gathered up the
folds of his Roman tOga and sailed forth
to interview few of the prominent citi-
zens who had used the justly celebrated
western remedy. The first man met after
leaving the factory was j. s. BoughtOn,
editor and proprietor of the Kansas Month
ly. There Is no question: said Mr.. BOugh-
ton, "but that Leis' Dandelion Tonic Is q
good thing. Containing, as it does, the
phoSphateS ard other valuable food princi-
pies, it tones up, the nervous system admi-
rably. i am sure that no one would become
Intoxicated by using il, hence 1t must be
valuable to those seeking reformation from
alcoholism"
at is the best thing of the kind in the
country" said G. G. Hoyt, of the Union Pa
cific railway at Lawrence, when he was
approached by the scribe. 81 know it has
been of great benefit to me. During the
rainy weather last fall, used 1t and COM
pletely counteracted the effects of the ma
laria." After such emphatic testimony, 1t
hardly seemed necessary tn pursue the in
vestigatiOn further, but thinking that he
might find just one man who didn't like the
medicine, the Journal reporter ran up
against George Fricker, of the Southwest
ern Stage company. "Put it down, young
man." he said "that keep Leis' DandeliOn
Tonic in the house all the time. If taken
: promptly it will save doctors bills" At
that instant Hon. j. ID. BOwersOck, mayor
of the city, joined the group, and hearing
Mr.. Fricker's testimony, added his: 81
know of nothing better for toning up the
system after a hard days work. 1t acts
like charm" Hon. l.. j. WOrden, for
many years postmaster here, unhesitating-
ly said that he had nothing but good words
for DandeliOn Tonic he had used il and
been greatly benefited by it.
Ii. A. Amber, head book keeper at the
national bank, thought Leis' Dandelion
Tonic was fine thing for this climate; he
had used it and was satisfied with the re-
) suits. X. K. Tabor, Lawrence agent of
the AtchisOn, Topeka aud Santa Fe rail-
way, wiped the perspiration from his brow
, and said that the Tonic was GAL" and the
best manufactured. Hon. Sidney Clarke,
eX-member of congress from this district,
was quizzed, and said in reply:
"Itis in all respects the best Tonic
have ever taker. 1t gives me complete re-
lief, and cheerfully recommend it as a
most valuable medicine
: John Il. Place, proprietor of the Place
house, said that he regards Leis' Dandeli-
on Tonic as an excellent medicine, en-
tirely free from The charge of being mere
beverage. Mr.. ID. Shelton, superintendent
, of that famed summer resort, Bismarck
Grove, said that he and many of his friends
had used the tonic. and always with good
effect. "The idea that its sale or use is in
violation of the prohibition law of Kansas
is exceedingly foolish, as it is in no sense
intoxicating, but entirely medicinal" Rev
L. w: Spring, pastor of the Plymouth
church, was INTERCEPTED and replied:
81 have used Leis' Dandelion Tonic in
, connection with malarial disorders with
admirable results, and, If 1 may Judge
from my own experience, 1t Is very eff

Such a mass of universally favorabl
i testimony is significant. There is no dout

The public, that great mass of the peopl
