The WiH-Wag Language of Dogs.

From the London Dispatch.
1t is no doubt a startling conclusion, but
DR.. Louis Robinson. who has been invesu-
eating the mysteries Of canine language,
has practically set up the theory that a
dog speaks with his tail tip.
In the case of all hunting dogs which
pack together the tail Is carried aloft and
is very free in movement. There Is no
doubt that fox hounds habitually watch tho
tails Of those in front Of them when draw
ing a covert. II faint drag Is detected
suggestive OF the presence of fox, but
not sufficient to be sworn to yocally, the
tail of the finder is set in motion, and the
warmer the scent the quicker does IL wag.
Others seeing the signal instantly join the
first and there is an assemblage or waV-
ing tails before even the least Whisper Is
heard. Should the drag prove doubt1ui
one the hounds separate again ana the
waving ceases, but IL ii grows stronger
when followed up the wagging becomes
more emphatic, until one after another the
hounds begin TO whine and give tongue and
stream off in Indian file along the line OF
scent. When the pack is at full cry upon
n strong scent the tails cease to wave. but
are carried aloft in full view.

THEY ARE CURED.
Splendid Provision for the Care Of All
Who Suffer.
Thousands of Invalids Improve the OPP
portunity None Permitted to Pay
More Than SIS q Month fer Medicines
and Treatment

1t has been distinctly announced, let 1t be
distinctly understood. that any chronic invalid
in California, rich or poor, can apply any time
at GIG Market street, rooms 1 and 2. in the
Columbian building, and receive from Drs.
Copeland, Winn and Neal ali proper medical care
and attention at the nominal fee rate OF 50
month, all medicines included.
1t Is and has been the earnest purpose OF
Drs. Copeland, Winn and Neal that this thing OF
so many people perishing OF disease "for want
of doctor" shall no longer shame society and
dishonor the profession of medicine-not II
they can help 1t.
1t lis Drs. Copeland. Winn and NeaPs purpose
that no man or woman in this State shall SINK
neplessly down to death from lung trouble,
stomach trouble, catarrh, rheumatism or any
other black curse of chronic sickness, just for
want of means to fee physician and buy
medicnes-not II they can help It, They DO
not believe in 1t.
The system of disease treatment that Is ad-
mittedly attended with the best results In
practice, and which has been so freely COM
mended from the scientific standpoint as the
most correct in theory, Is the Copeland treat
ment; and it is just this system OF treatment,
be 1t remembered, that has been placed within
such easy reach of all chronic sufferers.
Let it not be forgotten that az chronic sur
ferers applying Will be provided by ihese Cope
land experts with careful professional
diagnosis, full professional advice and treat
ment to a thorough cure, and the only expense
whatever will be the nominal Zee rate OF 70 a
