been imposed upon by unprincipled pre-
tenders who charge heavily in advance,
DIR Morrow has adopted this plan: That
he will charge nothing for advice, con-
sultation or treatment, until the patient
pronounces himself well. The only
charge being made for medicines used

DIR Morrow treats successfully chrome

the head, throat and lungs, liver, kidney
and heart complaints, inveterate diseases
of the stomach that have defied all other
methods, those fearful diseases of the
nervous system, arising from whatever
causes; scrofula, dropsy, paralysis, fits,
fever sores. contracted cords, enlarged
and stiff joints, rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatic bone deformities, salt rheum, cry
sipelas, scald head, ill-conditioned ulcers,
nasal polypus, asthma, hay fe-
Yer, rosescold, Winter coughs, chronic
diarrhea and diabetes. All may be cur
ed by this wonderful system if not too
far advanced. Bone diseases cured when
all other methods have failed.

Tom Ryan,s Work in Mexico.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. November 28-Minis-
ter Ryan is coming back from Mexico. He
got leave of absence to VISIT Kansas, but there
is reason to believe he will come to Washing
ton, and that his trip has something of diplo-
matte nature.
A year ago Minister Ryan came to Wash
ington to lay before the treasury department
the impolicy of making ruling discriminat-
ing against the importation of Mexican lead
oree. He showed that the United States
would be the greater sufferer, as it would in
evltably invite retaliation on the part of
Mexico, aud might also help to transfer
smelling Industries across the border.
The ruling, however, was made and it was
followed by stringent provision in the Nc
KInley tariff bill. The carbonate mine own
ers in the United States have not yet gotten
rich by the discrimination in their favor, and
Mexico has managed to smelt good many
of its ores at home.
Now a new tariff bill is preparing. What
its provisions are is kept secret. But reel
prOcIty is in the AR. In spite of all they say
about the dlscOurteOus treatment gwen them
when the house of representatives refused to
make effective the Grant reciprocity treaty
of 1888, the Me&icans still want enlarged
commercial relations with the United States.
They want to encourage sugar production
in the sugar producing belt of their country.
They can do this only by having free mar
ket IN the United States assured them.
In all probability Mr.. Ryan brings along
the draft of reciprocity treaty which will
be submitted to the senate this winter. In
return for free sugar 1t Will insure the AIexi-
can market for the farm products of the
United states, particularly live stock, and
