The Cure of Rupture.

For years past the residents of
Carson have been bled by travelling
quacks, who agree to cure every
thing. They merely collect their
money and skip out, leaving a lot of
dupes, to curse their folly. But DIR,
Losey is a different kind of a physic-
ian.
He came here several weeks ago
and advertised that he would cure
responsible persons of rupture and
take his pay after the rupture was
cured. Several parties took advan-
tage of this offer and are now cured.
Among these is the father of the
writer, who has suffered intensely
from rupture for several years past.
The country is full of people who
are made the victims of quacks, who
take money by promises of cures
| they are not able to make. DIR.
Losey's method is entirely new,
speedy and certain. He has not
failed in single case in this city.
His discovery will be boon to
the thousands who suffer from rup-
ture all over the country, and will
some day be as famous as Keely s
| cure for drunkenness.
Plenty of physicians advertise to
cure rupture, but few have sufficient
confidence in their methods of treat
ment, to demand pay only when the
cure is affected.

Drowned at WaShOe Lake.

was seated either broke or tipped
over and he fell into the lake.

The body was recovered about

to Virginia in the afternoon by the
