DIR. BARKER
Oculist and Aurist,
Will remain at the
NEW DENEON Until SATURDAY, Jaaulg Is.

In making this announcement we wish ts
thank the public for their generous recogni.
ton, Endorsement and very liberal patronage.
all of which we try to merit by skillful work,
reasonable fees and devotion to the welfare of
our patients. 1t is well-recognized fact that
our methods are new, improved and for the
most part painless; our preparation superior,
practice unsurpassed, and our success beyond
question. We make no apologies for adver-
Using. believing we have perfect right to
enjoy the privileges of other business men in
placing our claims before the public. Obser-
walton and experience teaches Us that the
afflicted want cures, regardless of "ethics' OF
f'pathies." This we strive to give in the least
possible time, without experimenting by doc
toring for months and perhaps years, until
their patience is exhausted and their purse
impoverished. How we'll we succeed we will
let our patients state. Their name is legion,
many of whom are your neighbors.
