Do Not Let Prejudice Kill You.


Do not let prejudice kill or continue
to keep you an invalid because you are
opposed to being treated by advertising
doctors,' of whom, perhaps, you have
often heard the expression that "if they
are such good doctors, why do they ad-
vertise?" Do you believe that none but
quacks resort to the public press to make
known the fact that they are prepared or
desire to treat the afflicted? If so, visit
our Office and see the numbers that call
upon us every day for consultation and
treatment, and then you will change your
mind. The doctor who can give you
material relief, or cure you, is the one to
whom you should apply, and not permit
yourself to be swayed into different
course because of any former prejudice.
or by the flippant objections of such as
can not give reason for the faith that

patronized by class of ladies, and gen.
tlemen, too, sagacious to be imposed upon
by any ignorant quack, and they are too
Independent to be frightened away from
the physicians who are curing them.

EVERY right thinking person will
sympathize with Gov. Mckinley in his
financial misfortunes. Robt. L. Walker,
of Youngstown, lifelong personal
friend of the Governor, has failed, and
Gov. McKinley's name is attached to
100000 or $4,000 of Walkers paper.
The loss will sweep away the Governors
modest fortune. 1t seems that one man
had too much confidence in the integrity
of friend. The Governor declares that
every dollar of his Indebtedness shall be
paid at maturity.

Now Mrs. Mckinley offers to contrib
ute her private fortune, which she
received from her father, to paying the
obligations of the Governor incurred by
the failure of Robert L. Walker. 1t
seems that the Governor has been gross
ly deceived by a friend, he supposing
that many of the notes he had endorsed
were paid. He thus loses all by placing
too great trust in a friend. Mrs. Nc
Kinley certainly is an extraordinary
woman to thus contribute heI property
to aid her husband where she is in no
way obligated to do so.
