A NEW SANITARIUM,
The Texas Medical ana Surgical In
Stituta


stitute
Are negotiating for the building of a
Sanitarium. Consequently it IS perma-
nent institution. The president, Dr. G.
A. Munch,is gentleman of many honors,
and whose credentials cannot be surpaSs-
ed, having four diplomas from prominent
medical colleges, two honorable diplomas,
one for diseases of women, also a licensed
NJ. d. by the state medical board of Color
ado.
We realize our reputation is at stake
and we propose to maintain our reputa
ton by cures effected under our care and
by our treatment. Every case that we
undertake to treat and fail TO cure is a
direct injury to us. Therefore we must be
prudent and careful. Consequently we
always give an honest opinion on all cases
that consult us, and if we believe you
durable after an examination, we will tell
you so, and what it will cost you, and
leave you free to decide for yourself We
will not urge or persuade you to take
treatment.
We treat all diseases, and particularly
solicit those of lingering, difficult or
doubtful character
Our prices are low to suit the needs of
the people, and we furnish our own med-
cines. DR.. &. A. Munich and his assist
ants are graduates from the most prOmi-
nent medical colleges, none of them haV-
ing less than two diplomas. Each doctor
is skilled in their several SpecialtieS, and
thus combined, the Texas Medical and
Surgical Institute has a staff of physicians
that make speciality of almost every
disease that the human flesh is heir to.
Therefore you can readily see that sue
cess is sure to follow our treatment So
n a a n in oil
dertake that we will give a contract in
writing to cure. As the doctors of the
Texas Medical and Surgical Institute are
graduates of all the different schools of
medicine they do not cOnne to any one
school or system of medicine. We treat
our patients to cure them, and use with
out prejudice whatever will accomplish
that result.
There are no two cases of disease eX-
aCtly alike, and for this reason no two
cases can be treated exactly alike. The
great success of our treatment is largely
due to the fact that we watch every step
in the patients progress carefully and
suit the medicines and treatment to the
exact condition. None but QuackS and
impoStOrS will undertake to cure a serious
disease in any other way, and all who
claim to cure various diseases by means
OF this or that ONE remedy are deceiving
the public. We make a speciality of Apo
pleNy, Epilepsy, Fits, Insanity, Rupture,
Piles, Blood and Skin Diseases (Scrofua),
TumOrs, Cancers, Lung Diseases, Dis
eases of tho Eye and Ear, Diseases of
Women, Private Diseases, Sexual Debil-
ity, etc. No matter what your troubles,
how serious or how long standing, con-
suit us. We will in Strictest confidence
give you our opinion free Of cost. And if
too poor to pay for treatment we will
treat free all such applicants on Tuesdays

men and WOMEN

Many men and women who a sho time
ago thought themselves of strong physique,
splendid intellect and nerves of iron marvel
at their feeling of exhaustion and total lack
of interest in their business affairs. They
are overpowered by a sense OF lassitude,
languOr and dullness. Their Wanted
strength and self control seem to have left
them when most needed; already they have
experienceda lack of old time vigOr, GER
tain lack of confidence, and nervous appre-
hensiOn instead of the old courage; a con-
slant feeling of las Sftude and waning am
bitien; their blood is impoverished, their
eyes lusterless, they are haunted with mel
anchOly and frequently have the "blues;'
they feel their vitality wasting day by day
and night by night; they are easily discour-
aged, irritable, morOSe and unhappy; pleas
ures tire and friends bore them.
DO you know what your trouble is, or
what you are coming to? Come at once and
consult DIR. j. N. Hathaway, the successful
specialist of this city, and he will tell you
also how to get cured. Do not delay.

AMERICAN Catholicism makes a
great gain in the decision of Mgr.
SatOlli in the Bishop Wigger case,
Newark, New Jersey. In this case,
which the Apostolic delegate de-
cides against the Bishop, the prin-
aciple is established that pastors
and congregations speaking a
foreign tongue are expected to as
simulate as quickly as possible with
the English speaking congregations.
Every act of the Catholic church
emanating directly from Pope Leo
Evidences his deep respect for
America and its distinctive insti-
buttons. In declaring by the mouth
of his Apostolic delegate that the
language of this country is good
enough for the Catholic church
and that foreigners are to employ
it in their church services, coming
to use it as rapidly as is practicable,
he has shown himself intelligently
aware of the conditions necessary
to the success of that church in
America.

THE TRAMP NUISANCE.

Intimately connected with the
pending question of restricted i'm
migration is that of the American
| tramp nuisance. The original
American tramp is one of the leg
acieS of the late war. He is the
lineal descendant of the army bum
and the camp follower, who in the
closing year of the war were an
army in themselves. Accustomed
to live on the country, following in
the wake Of marching army,
when peace was declared they had
become too lazy and lawless to re-
turn to the industrious habits of
civilized life and continued to prey
on society. What they had pre-
viously taken by force they now
begged or. stole, ever rowing from
place to place as the season, inclin-
alton or the chance for prOvender
suggested. He would soon have
died of hamilton but for the influx
Of the vast army of foreigners that
flooded these shores Immediately
after the war and down to the pre-
sent. The addition of a half mil
lion population every year, besides
the natural increase of the country,
was more than the labor require
ments of the country could alb
sorb. The foreigner being ready
to work for lower wages than the
native American, thousands of
those who were willing to work
were thrown out of employment,
while the naturally indOlent joined
the ever increasing army of tramps
under the speciOus excuse that
there was no work to be had. Thus
year by year as the labor ranks of
this country have been crowded to
SullOCdtlOIi, ulllll loNidN 'IiClC uiN
nearly one and half million I'M
employed in these United States
the army of tramps has steadily
increased until it has become re-
gular profession, with its code,
signals, means of recognition,
guide boards, lists of those who
are ready to pay toll to the craft
and all else that constitutes them
an organization created to prey on
the industrious members Of society.
This evil, though not created Origi-
ginally by unrestricted immigra-
ton, has been so foStered by it as
now to depend on it for its eXis-
lance. Once immigration is properly
Restricted the labor of this country
will soon be all in demand, and
this grand army OF idleness will
be compelled to work, starve or 90
to jail. SO long however as there
are a million willing hands unable
to find employment those who are
willingly idle will be found tramp
ing or begging at home, their plea
that they cannot find work. t is
useless to attempt to correct the
evil in its leaves and branches. 1t
must be destroyed at its root, and
that tap root is Unrestricted immi-
grafton. LegiSlate against this until
the country will demand all of it's
willing labor at fair wages, then
turn on the hose and flood the
tramps into the army of labor or
put those of them who will not
work voluntarily to earning their
bread, tobacco and mattress under
the supervision of the state. These
United States demand protection
from the tramps, but it can only
come by the gateway of restricted
immigration.
THERE is no mora nnpaCCity Of
