Examination Free to All.


Although the doctor is in many cases
compelled TO use expensive instruments
and chemicals in making analyses, micro
scopic and other scientific examinations,
yet he makes no charges to anyone, beliep'
ing IL to be part of the physicians duty
to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to locate monthly visit crowds flock to
see him, and no WONDER for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking a
question, he tells the invalid what the
trouble is, and the prospect of cure, and
most wonderful of all he values his first
impression and first look at patient more
than all else, and DR.. Humphrey is never
mistaken in his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner in all re-
spects. Following the plan of st. Georges
Hospital of London, he registers every
particular as to the patients physical COIL
dtion and mental state. The condition of
each organ, location of any and all dis
eased parts, and whether sympathetic or
organic, together with the amount and
nature of the disease. In this way the en-
tire amount of vital energies are readily
computed and the restoring power of the
body measured against the force and en-
ergy and destructive capabilities of the dis
case. Thus knowing the actual condition
Of the tissues and the effect of specific
medicines upon every structure of the
body, unlike most doctors, he is enabled to
say positively whether any given case Is
durable or not and can also give the APP
proximate time and expense of treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
lusion cherished by many patients that
they ought to get well in a few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have suffered for years,

Chronic Diseases.

The doctor treats no acute diseases, but de-
votes his whole time to the trea tment of
chronic and long standing and surgical dis
eases; cases given up by other doctors and pro-
nounced incurable, he most desires to see. DR..
Humphrey has had nearly 5000 cures in the
state OF Michigan, while his patients all told in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Alabama, Ten
nessee, Georgia, Ohio and Indiana, have been
fully five times that number nearly two-thirds
of these sufferers were given up as hopeless
invalids, some to be blind, some deaf, and
others prey to scrofula, chronic kidney dis
ease, consumption, destructive female troubles.
Among others, hundreds of children hopeless
ly deformed But behold how many of them
see and hear, while nearly all are rapidly
being cured.
The doctor is surrounded with the finest and
most extensive collection of instruments ever
imported TO this country for examining and
treating all forms of chronic ailments of the
head face eye, ear, throat, chest, lungs, heart,
stomach, liver, spleen, kidneys, bowels, repro
ductive organs, urinary organs, brain and
nervous system, paralysis, growths, joint dis
eases, piles, hip diseases, scatica skin diseases,
ulcers and every form of weakness Of either
male or female.

For first trial the new ballot la

For first trial the new ballot law
worked fairly well. 1t certainly gave
us a quiet election; but, on the other
hand, it practically disfranchised good
many voters. Some of them were per-
picked by the method of marking; others
wouldn't try and did not attempt to
vote, and more voted wrong. The law
undoubtedly has some commendable
features, but as it stands it is too cum
bersome for general use. If retained, it
should be amended radically; though
there appears to be no good reason for
retaining it at all, especially in the small
er towns, where the need of it is not now
and never has been apparent. 1t would,
perhaps, work better another time, but
our elections are so infrequent that each
one will be, to all intents and purposes, a
new experiment.
