club only made one run and the wish

did well under the circumstances, as

This is positively the last month that
Drs. Mccoy and Wildman will treat pa
itients for IS month-cxceptinR. of course,
those who take treatment before June 1.
There are reasons for extending this
liberal offer to the LIST of June. Pressing
treatment and say they cannot begin until
some time In June. There are also serious
reasonsfor disseminating this liberal offer.
The most paramount OF which is that Drs.
tend this liberal offer beyond the 1st OF
june, simply because they can't afford to
give their time and skill and furnish all
medicines for so little money any longer
than the list of June.
The object In putting the fee so low for
a time was to give everybody an oppor-
Itunity of testing their ability and skill.
and participating IN the success which has
marked the career of these specialists who
have treated more cases of diseases of the
nose and throat than any other two physl-
CLANS in the whole world. Tho object
persons have taken advantage of the
liberal offers which has boon mutual In
production to great many sufferers from
lcatarrh. There are very many persons
still who are sufferers FROM catarrh, in
this city who have not awaited themselves
of this opportunity. and who are either
clinglnk to false hopes founded on dosing
themselves with patent medicines OF
qnack nostrums, or who are ignorant of
their condition, or the fact that catarrh IL
the straight road to consumption.
To them all that Is necessary to be said
Is that patent medicines aud alleged sure
cures for catarrh won't and don't cure
lcatnrrh, and the only way to rout this tree
of disease Is to take the 5tump-roots ant
and about of the system by persistent
local treatment. administered by skilled
specialists who make tho treatment OF
lcntarrh the work and study OF their lives

at Ninth and Washington streets, be.
came frightened by the doctors
daughter using hose to sprinkle tine

of, the colored man, who attempted to
stop him, was thrown down and run
over. The horse, in his flight, collided
with the wagon Of L. L. Messick at 9th
and Madison streets, where he fell and
broke the shafts, and injured himself
SO badly that thore was no hope OF his
recovery, and consequently the colored
man knocked him In the head in order
to end his misery. The carriage was
badly damaged. The loss Is quite
heavy, as the animal was worth $500.
