"Our readers who own livestock will

100000 capital paid up, is the outgrowth
Of the Stockraisers Mutual Livestock In

for the latter at East Palestine, H. M.

To the Afflicted.

There is no longer any excuse for hesi.
fancy on the part Of any sufferer from q
chronic ailment 10 consult and engage the
services Of Drs. France 4 Ottman and
an observance Of the crowds that throng
their parlors for a single day might well
be taken as evidence that such n hesitancy
does not exist. The doctors are certainly
wonderful men, Their RAPID reading Of
disease manifestations and application Of
remedies for their curc can only be aci
counted Tor by the law Of special adoption
or intuition. They prescribe ior from
four TO five hundred patients every four
weeks and they not only instantly recog-
nize each patient, but have in mini every
feature OF their dlseasc and note every
change In their condition without refer
euce TO the written records which they
keep alone for their future statistical
value. They possess powers Of mind and
