regard TO any disease from which
they are suffering and OF which he
makes a specially.
The doctor comes at the urgent
request of many Of our prominent
citizens and with the best OF rec
concentrations from many Of the
most prominent business men of
North Texas, which is a sufficient
guarantee of his ability as sur
geon and physician.
DR.. Pettitt is known to be one
of the most successful and skillful
operators in the west and has for
years confined himself to the study
and practice of surgery, conse-
quently he makes surgery and sur
gical diseases a specially. The
diseases proposed to be cured are:
Cross eyes-which will be straight
ened in one minute-Pterygium,
"a film that grows over the eye

positively will not grow again.
Cataract removed-persons who
have been blind foT years from this
cause restored to sight.
Granulated and intlamed lids,
chronic sore eyes, all diseases oI
the eyes, no matter of how long
standing, relieved at once.
Catarrh, the one disease ac-
knowledged incurable by ordinary
physicians, positively cured by
his treatment.
Piles and assures forever cureC
in one treatment without the use o
knife, cdustic or ligature.
Deafness caused from catarrh ol

Tumors removed from any par

by Commissioner Tufts. John Sullivan
"did not know" When the matter
had been carefully explained to him
that If he had one wife and married
one more he was guilty--John decided
under the law he was guilty. The
greatest doubt on the defendants
mind, and the one which seemed 10 re-
lieye his conscience, was whether the
minister who married him in Missouri
had been regularly ordained. Another
point on which he got little tempo
rary rest was that marriage license
was never issued. This the commits
sioner held made no difference and
John Sullivan was bound over. After
being taken down to camp the fellow
grew despondeat and desperate. Dur

party told him TO stay back or he'd
shoot him. AT this juncture fellow.
