HOME FACTS
Unimpeachable Evidence Of DR.
Fyench's Wonderful Skill.
Permanently Located at the Ven.
dome Hotel.

No human being is exempt from dis
ease and suffering. The most powerful
and apparently healthy have no guar
antee that their strength will always re-
main with them, or that their bodies
will be tree from pain or wasting dis
ease.
The following brief synopsis was
given by man whose magnificent
physique could apparently defy disease
and pain, yet he was great sufferer
when he went to Doctor French at the
Vendome for treatment.
The case is that If our well known
citizen, Mr.. William O'clock, proprietor
of the bottling works at No. % North
Division street. this city. Mr.. O'clock,
for several years, has suffered more or
less from rheumatism, which at times
caused him great uneasiness and suffer
ing. but after energetic measures he
would find relief. The varying state
of things continued until finally this
painful diseasc settled in his foot,
swelling the foot to twice its natural
size. He continued to use indicated
remedies. Of course he consulted
doctors and took their medicines. but
to no purpose. The foot continued Ia
swell and pain him, and walking be.
came a difficult task. At last, how.
ever, he began to read in the newspa.
pers and hear his neighhors tell of the
wonderful cures performed by Docto,
French at Hartman's hall and at the
Vendome Hotel. He said he was COINS
10 Doctor French TO be cured; and he
did as he said he would do, much tc
the chsgrin and disgust of those about
HIM. "why," said he, doctor French
can do no less than others; they dose
me but do me no good. So l placed
myself under his treatment and
now I am cured. The rheumatism il
gone, my foot 10 natural in size and
feeling, that fear Of paralysis, which
so often follows this condition, hal
also passed away"
Note--Mr. Gu!ock is one OF our sub.
stantial citizens. Well known as 4
business man of honor, and whatever
he sa7s may be relied on a. strictly
true. Many other cases are reported
as cured, and scores were cured by the
doctor at Hartman's hall. BY request

Ead All the Sensations.

"a man named John Harnshaw per.
formed thoughout England under the
high sounding title of Moneleur Gouffe,
giving practical exhibitions of hanging
from the gallows. In this performances
he relied for security on the strength of
the muscles of his throat and neck alone.
He had a rope with q fixed knot, and
always passed both ends of the loop up
behind one ear. The whole act was SO
adroitly managed that he prevented any
pressure of the rope upon the w~indpipe
or the jugular vein. He could even sus-
tain a weight oi 40 pounds in addition
to that Of his own body.
On three separate occasions Harashaw
mismanaged the rope and soon became
unconscious, but was luckily rescued
each time. DR.. ChoWne, who wrote the
account, very truly says: SIT cannot be
doubted that as far as sensation and
consciousness are concerned, Harnshaw
passed through the whole ordeal of death
by hanging, and had he been permitted
to remain hanging until actually dead he
would have passed out of existence with.
out further knowledge of bis misery
