A True AND FALSE SPECIALIST.

Beware OF the wonderful success of q
few specialists 1t has led many ign0-
rant and incapable men to advertise
thems, Ives as such Many doctors
claim to be specialists who perhaps
never had any special training or ex-
perience Others claim to treat and
cure all diseases. These are Quacks
and unworthy of belief. When you see
an advertising doctor who will treat all
disc .ses, you can make up your mind
that he Is not true specialist.
A true specialist Is one who does not
20 out If his line to practice. Such I
claim to be. The press aud public will
bear me out in this assertion, and to
this asrribc part Of my wonderful sue
cess. Remember the best Is always the
cheapest, and especially when dealing
with the human system how important
1t Is that no experiments be made, and
to be sure that you are not imperilling
your life by putting your case into
some ones hands who Is ignorant and
INSCRIPTIONS. Take no chances. and
remember that my great reputation has
been built up BY square dealing, long
experience and hard study Claim to
be true specialist. In regard to my
standing and reputation court inves-
tigation and am willing to abide by the
result. It IL best for the public to
kn w, when they plscs their case in the
hands Of physicians, that they are
duly qualified and have gone through .
regular course of medical training.
Many doctors claim to be graduates Of
reputable medical colleges, but they do
not give any names. put down In
black and white the name of the col
lege that went to, Rush n -dical Col
lego. and l have visited the State Board
Of Health, 70 At myself for the public
and to keep In the lead.

REPLY 10 "BUTCHER-
KNIFE"

iSDIroR ST rAMMANY FARMER:
Sneak-like, from behind an assumed
name, ssButcher-Knife" makes blind
lunge at something which 1t fears might
be detrimental to his personal interest.
"Buteher- Knife" must think the School
Board badly in need of a defender.
II groundless assertions and wind
were available as defensive material,
Butcher Knife" would be formida-
BILE ally. The appeal for school was
direct to the Board; objections to the
same should have been made during
its session, and would be made in that
manner by any fair minded person. II
''Butcher- Knife" lis 1t = he or she
blade) imagines IT has truth and JUS
tice on its side, why does 1t not stand
up in a recognizable garb? To shirk
the responsibility Of authorship does
not command the respect of justice,
manhood or probity. The question
presents itself, was Butcher Knife"
afraid even the force of truth might
suffer, If its source was known! II
not, what other reason has it for slash
ing in disguise? The Camp Ground
being SO well attended, as asse rted,
what fear need come over Clutch
er-Knife?" Can 1T or others suffer in
jury by establishing school which
Justly belongs to Liberty Settlement?
Perhaps ':Butcher- Knife" Is too dull
to comprehend the fact that four miles
Is too great distance from one school
to another, especially when impeded
by bad roads, high water, etc. We de-
mand q school, and will patrOnize it;
and further, we will make it worthy Of
patronage. If We fail to do SO it will
be proper to discontinue it.
Reasonable protests from parties who
have the manhood to assume response
bility for same will receive respectful
consideration.
A right to be heard implies right to
be recognized. Now that the school
question has opened, let that all i'm.
portant subject be thoroughly discussed
'.Butcher-Knife" can try its dull edge
on Mr.. J. v. kellar's able article
can We skule teechers," rally round thu
sButcher-Knife." J. J. BIERY.
