THE cAuoER AVID M

The OANSEh AMI ~ htoN
Man may In many ways benefit his
kind, and mako the world hsppier
and better for his residence therein.
The typical statesman saves the
nation from war or finsncisl disaster,
aud receives the plaudits Of the PEG
pie. The true preacher devotes his
energies to making men noblor,
purer and more just, and Ia rewarded
by tho love and ~veneration Of all who
know him. The physician is, how
ever, hampered in his field, which
is grand In its possibilities for doing
good. The u,ages of his profession
are much the same to-day as they
we're q hundred years ago. To invent,
TO discover, was then, aud is to day, q
cause for less fortunate or less indus
trlousepractitioners to hurl eplths's
and to strive to mako II appear that
no one had progressed nuy further
than themselves. But In spite of all
this, a spirit Of reform is abroad,
weak IA yet, but growing stronger
every year. Specialists are now
found in every school of medicine, q
thing which of late was branded as
suackery. Physicians Of the broadcast
culture are now acknowledging that
all virtue is not confined TO any set
school or method of practice.
In our city Of @ uucil Bluffs we
have, perhaps, the most successful
specialist, In his line, that the west
% boast. DR.. r.. Rice, specialist for
cancers and tumors, has on his
shelves ove q hundred trophies which
he has taken during the many years
that he has combatted these diseases
from his Office In this city.
Cancers Of all kinds and of all
sizes, and tumors Of endless variety
are exhibited, and In no case has he
rosorted to instruments. His treat.
ment Is simple but effective. he re.
stores the diseased parts to healthy
action, the abnormal conditions csaAe
and tho tumor or lancer sloughs of
and the patient is we'll. He has un.
der his care q great many patients
some Of them are here from
. distance, many are prominent,
we'll known shrewd business men,
who recognize the fact that special
skill and remarkable sucsess have been
the chief characteristics In the profes
sional career of DR.. Rice, which dates
back owe thirty years. OF course no
every invalid has been, or can be
cured, but II only one case of pro
nounoed cancer had been cured by DR.
Rice he would be entitled to thu
honor of saving life and achieving
what few others have successfully &C
oomplished. But the facts are noto
rious In this city that DR.. Rice cure
things almost every month, and tn
mors are bottled up at the rate of on,
q week sometimes. Now the pain, tn,
lives, the widows aud orphans tear
that have been saved should certainly
entitle such a man to q full share 0
the honors and emoluments usual,
bestowed on deserving men, and VIII,
should not we Of the west put In on
claims when we have a right to do
mand a consideration for them9 Be
sides these specially noted points o
success, DR.. Rice has handled will
rare skill q great many cases of luuJ
difficulties and chronic diseases gener
ally. His Office Is next door to TIL
BEE, and we like to show our friondi
the wonders of the doctors cabinet
And. by the way, that Office Is oharac
t~eristic of the man; it Is neat an
cheerful, and Is enlivened by a thou
sand beautiful flowers, the work Q
some friend who Is an expert in wax
and then the engravings and diploma
lend a professional air to the Other
wise parlor.like surroundings.
