Can Catarrh Be Cured?

The past age might be called superstitious
one. The present can more properly be called
an age of surprises for many things once classed
among the impossibilities have now become
to enumerate them. Bnt nave we reached the
utmost limit? Have we? Physicians who claim
to make certain ailments the human body is
subject to special study, and claim to be able
to cure such diseases, are pronounced by other
self-satished practitioners as presumptuons; but
does their saying so make it sop The man who
can come the nearest to overcoming the seeming
impossiblities of others is now all the rage, and
well does he, or they deserve the success they
have labored so hard to attain. DIR. j. Cresap
Mccoy orhis associates do not make claims to
anything marvellous such raising the dead
and giving them new life: neither do they claim
to give sight to the blind; but by
catarrh they have cured and do cure, eatarrh as
well as bronchial and throat troubles. They
make catarrh a speciality, because it is one OF
the most prevalent and troublesome diseases
that the people of this climate are heir to. Since
DIR. Mccoy and his associates have located in
this city they have treated with success hun
dreds of persons whom other physicians have
curabes. Do they not publish from week to
week in the daily papers testimonials from
some of their many grateful patients, giving in
each case the full name and address of the per-
son making the statement that the doubling
and skeptical may call and interview the said
people prior to visiting the doctors Offices for
consultation. The people advertised as cured
the majority of cases are citizens well known
by the business people and community at large,
and 1t will more than repay any one suffering
from catarrhal affection to visit those whose
statements are published or consult with the
the doctor or his associates at his office.

HIS LIFE SAVED.
The Narrow Escape Of Mr.. Michael
Murphy.
He Receivers His Health After Being
Told That He Could Only Live
Three Months-Giyen up by
Eour phyetciane

Some eight months ago there came 10 Omaha
an eminent physician who, after looking over
the city and satisfying himself as to its future
greatness, located an Office and opened it for the
general practice of medicine, making specially
of catarrh and throat and lung troubles. That
physician was what is known In the profession
as an advertising physician. He commenced ad-
vertising in the daily papers, not as the average
advertising doctor does, promising 10 cure all
manner ofincuECle diseases. hut instead he did
not promise anything but published each week
the testimonial of some person whom he had
cured. These testimonials have not been taken
from mythical persons, but from weil-known
citizens of the city, citizens who are known far
and WIDE and who give their testimony volun-
tarily. Most of these patients were people who
had been treated before by different physicians
who did not benefit them in the least and had
tried patent medicines to no end all In vain. and
as a last resort had come to this physician,
where they obtained not only relief. but Q radi-
cal and permanent cllre. The ply sician referred
to is DIR. J. Cresap Mccoy, late House Physician
to the Bellevue Hospital. New York city, and
who has gained for himself wide fame as sue
cessful physician,n the west as well as the east,
Among the many patients of Dr.. Mccoy was q
young man, Michael Murphy who resides on
Eleventh streetbetween Jackson and Jones. Mr..
Murphy was formerly an employe of the Omaha
Barb Wire works. and was very we'll thought OF
by his employers He took sick about year
ago and was compelled to stop work. I've tslls the

MICHAEL MURPHY.
i commenced to feel poorly a year ago last fall
about Fair time. kept getting weaker and
weaker, so much so that / could hardly walk q
block without becoming entirely out of wind.
had had a cough for some time, but 1t kept grow
ing harder and harder until II almost exhausted
me. After a long hard cough would spit. up
some, but II was very hard to remove. lost
flesh rapidly, so much so that my clothes were
entirely too loose for me. 1 had night sweats
very bad, my coughing kept me awake nights
great deal, and in fact i got up in the morning
more tired than when j went to bed Would
feel some fever in the morning and again In the
desire for food the sight of it used to sicken
In fact 1t was of little use to eat, for even the
lightest food would not stay on my stomach, it
was SO weak. Ny lungs We're very sore. and IL
IL anyone would have told me that would
pull through would not have believed it. In
fact was told by four physicians OF this city
thatI could not be cured, and one doctor told
the testimonials of DR.. Mccoy in the daily pa
pers, and at last mother thought we had better
go and see him. l had hardly been out of the
house for six or eight months, but we managed
to get there, and saw the doctor. He did not
guarantee to cure me, but thought my life might
be prolonged in comparative comfort. decided
to take treatment, and was benefited at once.
Before going to him could not hold anything
on my stomach, but since the first treatment
have not thrown up once. j commenced to gain
in flesh and strength: my cough has left me;
the strongest part of me. l can take good long
walks now. OF course ! am not as robust now
as when was a boy but feel in good health.
and feel positive that the doctor saved my life.
My friends meet me while am taking my
daily walks and are surprised to see me- in fact
some of them thought was dead. L have had
them tell me so, but am a pretty live man, as
treatment by the doctor, and feel that can
not say enough for him and advise all my
friends who are afflicted to go and see him.

their clothes. The frightened thieves
did not dare 10 keep them after this,
and return them at once.
The chief laughed at the tale, and
putting the clothes to one side, thought
little more OF it. The next day the pa
troll who was stationed at the central
wharf, where the sailors left from asked
for a change Of station, alleging that
the cold night air from off the water
was bad for him. He was given another
post and different officer given tha
beat. He, too, applied for q change,
and successively six different officers
gave up the place. The chief then in
vestigated and told the following story:
"At about 1880 the attention of the
policeman on duty was attracted by
noise like as if swimmer was climbing
up the side of the wharf, Suspecting
thieves he hastened there. and opening
his bull's-eye lantern he threw his
light on the spot where the noise was
heard. AS the rays illuminated the
dock there stepped into, the. cir
Gle of light the. ghosly forms
of the dead sailors maguified
to huge proportions, stark naked, sea-
weed clinging TO their hair, and their
faces and bodies horribly eaten by fish
and crabs. They stalked by the officer
without seeming to notice him, and
going to the spot where their clothes
had been left, appeared to be hunting
for something-their vain search SEEM
ing to render them perfectly furious
with rage. The officer dropped his
lantern and fed. The others all corro-
borated his tale and related the same
general experience, save the last one,
| who added TO his story that one OF the
| spectral figures came up and attempted
| TO embrace him, with drunken leer
on its corpse-like face. No officer is
stationed there now and not darky in
| the city would go on the dock at mid
| night for 81 900. During the day hun
dreds of people have visited the spot
and commented upon the strange tale.
| The officers are laughed at by many,
| but they stick to their story and refuse
| to do duty on that particular wharf.

they must be laced to eighteen inches

wasn't the proper thing to be any larger
than that on ones wedding day.
How big are girls now? New York
girls of twenty or twenty-five years old
will average waists of twenty-three
inches at least. If they are five feet
seven or eightinches tall they will have
twenty-five or twenty-six inch waists.
There are plenty of women who are not
ashamed of waists considerably larger
than that il they are we'll formed in

were an inch or two taller and three or
four inches larger round than their
mothers were. Healthier Oh, that
