A Few Of His Patients.
DR.. j. e. DUNBAR,
az EYE, EAR. cATaRRH. THROAT AND LUNG
SPECIALIST OF MACON CITY, MO.

From California (Mo. } Newspaper. Sep
ember 10th, 1891.
This well known physician is
now at the City Hotel, and his
rooms are continually crowded
with patients seeking relief at his
hands. The DR.. is a thorough ply
s%iclan, takes great pride in his pro-
fession, a thorough humanitarian
and nothing affords him more
pleasure than to relieve the all
ments of suffering humanity.
We have had the pleasure Of
making the personal acquaintance
of the doctor, and we are ready to
pronounce him an elegant gentle
man in every respect. Thorough
ly experienced and accomplished,
he is sure to win at once the good
will and patronage ofthe people of
this community. He has in his
possession letters and documents
of recommendation from the high
est medical authorities, and these
in themselves are sufficient intro
duction.
The following Are some of the
patients now being treated by him:
Mrs. John Kerr, of Windsor, Mo-,
formerly of Centertown went to
DR.. Dunbar, at Jefferson City, No,
two yeors ago. She was nearly
blind in one eye and also suffered
with graduated sore eyes. Her
self and husband are now visiting
in California. Her eyes are sound
and well. She says she has never
had any trouble with them since
DR.. Dunbar treated them. Her
case of 5 years standing.
Mrs. ST. Weaver, of Centertown,
who has been suffering with sore
eyes for years returned home yes
terday with her eye sight improved
and will be well.
Miss Della Mckinney, daughter
of John w. Mckinney, of Center
town, aged about IA years, has been
afflicted with catarrhal deafness for
IL years. Her ears had run all the
time. Her hearing has been re-
stored and she has been discharged
from further treatment, and left for
home Saturday.

Dancing.

FROM Inc Jefferson city 1IlDE:le.
For some reason the ministers in
this state are u~nreasonably severe in
their denuncistion OF balls and
dancing. The parsons at Mexico
and Sedalia tried to discourage
charity balls during holiday week,
and now we read that the preachers
at West Plains have resolved that a
ball masquerade is an denomination
and should be abated. When no h.
ing more serious than dancing
threatens the morals of our civil
cation, the salvation army can safe
ly be disbanded and even the less
noisy and more worthy advocates of
christianity take a holiday. Satan
Is not trapping flies these days; he
is hunting bigger game than the
modern dancing room furnishes.
lnidelity is stalking defantiy
through the land. Intemperance,
corruption of every kind and moral
degradation is all about Us. Let
our worthy parsons seek more giu-
rious conquests than the suppression
of such Innocent amusement as Is
not condemned by a very large ma
jority of good citizens.

DIR. DUNBAR.
VIII BE Mt the Windsor Hotel Jan. 9th.

DIR. J. E. Dunbar, the famous
eye, ear and throat specialist, who
is now in Columbia will arrive IN
Mexico On Jan. 9th and will take
rooms at the Windsor hotel. DR..
Dunbar has been 10 Mexico before
and has a host of warm friends
who are glad to know that he is
going to return. Dr. Dunbar re-
Gently visited Jefferson City,
Columbia and other leading points
throughout the state where he has
treated some of the most promi-
nent citizens of Missouri always
successfully. He is highly spoken
of by the press snd public every
where he has been and we are sure
, while in Mexico he will have all
the business he can attend to.
The R~ocheport Commercial
speaking of DR.. Dunbar says:
A representative of this paper
while in Jefferson city last week
met genial and popular DR.. ]. E
Dunbar, the well known eye, ear,
catarrn, throat and lung specialist,
at State Treasurer Stephens resi-
dence. DR.. Dunbar has rooms at
the Monroe House and is busy
treating the atfiicted. Registered
on his journal were nearly leo pa
tients for treatment. The doctor
seemed to be well and favorably
known at the capital city and all
spoke in the highest praise of has
successful treatments. The doctor
is one of the most thorough special
lists in the west; is a thorough hui
manitarian and nothing affords him
greater pleasure than to relieve
the ailments of suffering humanity.
He has many friends throughout
the state and all speak of him
highly. The doctor will arrive in
Columbia Saturday and will have
his headquarters at the Powers
House. He will remain 10 that
city Is days and invites the un.
fortunate afflicted to call and see
him. His great ucces during the
past eighteen years in restoring
hundreds of blind to their sight
and deaf to their hearing has
placed him beyond doubt the most
successful oculist, artist and ca
tarrh specialist in this country.

A Pure Baking Powder,

A baking powder that can be de-
pended uponrto be free from lime
and alum is a desideratum in these
days OF adulterated food. So far as
can be judged from the official re-
ports the Royal seems to be the
only one get found by chemical
analysis to be entirely without one
or the other Of these substances,
and absolutely pure. This, it is
shown, results from the exclusive
use by its manufacturers of cream of
tartar specially refined and prepared
by patent processes which totally
remove the tartate of lime and
other impurities. Tie cost of this
chemically pure cream of tartar is
much greater than any other, and
it is used in no baking powder
except the Royal" the manufac.
turers Of which control the patents
under which it is refined.
DIR. Edward G. Love, formerly
analytical chemist for the Z. S.
Government, who made the analy-
ses for the New York State Board
of Health in their investigation of
baking powders, and whose intimate
knowledge Of the ingredients Of all
those sold in this market enables
him to speak authoritatively, says
of the purity, wholesomeness, and
superior quality Of the Royal
81 find the Royal Baking Powder
composed of pure and wholesome in
gradients. 1t is a cream OF tartar
powder and does not contain either
alum or phosphatcs, or other in
furious substance"
Prof. Loves tests, and the recent
official tests by both the United
States and Canadian Governments,
show the Royal Baking Powder to
be superior to all others in strength
and leavening power. 1t is not
only the most economical in use,
but makes the purest. finest flavor
ed and most wholesome food.

WESTERN democrats are begin
ming to be apprehensive lest Senator
Hill of New York shalt be able TO
prevent the nomination OF Grover
Cleveland for president.
Western democrats do not look
with any favor upon the suggestion
that Senator Hill himselfb be noml-
mated instead of Cleveland. Hill is
not only not popular i'll the west,
but here he is to Il great extent OBJ
noxious.
If it should turn out, as now
seems possible. that the Hill men
and the Cleveland men cannot har-
monte their differences, there is ii
certain plausibility in the sugges-
ton that Senator Palmer be nomi.
mated.
Palmer has "a deep hold on the
wage-working element of the large
cities Of the west. He is also strong
in the agricultural districts.
New York democrats make a yer,
serious mistake if they think they
can advance the cause of Senator
Hill by rendering impossible tn
nomination of Grover Cleveland.
