ATALK WITH THE DOCTOR.
After two days trial l secured an in

not look as if he ever had sorrow Oh
trouble had crossed his threshold.
'Take seat" said the doctor CHOW,

you can give me the time"
"Certainly."
"You don't seem to worry, doctor, over
these recent attacks upon you.
Certainly not and why should L?
have done nothing, but what meets the
approval and justification of every man,
woman and child, and this you know il
you are familiar with recent events"
"This continuous ovation" l said
con the part of your patients must be
gratifying.
ITO be sure it is, but this continuous
ovation, as you call it, is what have il
every section of the country 1 visit, ant
almost every day OF my life. In the states

occasionally neuralgia of the left eye
was the quick reply.
Right" L said, "but how did yor

Il have just said you must not ask mt
how"
"Do you cure all your PATIENTS
"We do not but l should say we cure
ninety per cent or more; and then you
must remember nearly all our patients are
those afflicted with the most malignant
diseases and given up by other physicians
to die"
What about your cure for the liquor
morphia, opium, tobacco and cocaine
habits:'
"We absolutely cure them when all
others have failed, and think l can safely
say we never fail. The treatment does not
require nurses or hospital service. 1t is
pleasant to the patient, immediate in its
action, quick in its cure and permanent
in its results. We only need, to complete
a cure, from three to four weeks of the
patients time, and during this time tho
patient can do what he likes, board
where he pleases all we require is three
minutes of his time three times day. u
But read this book if you would know
more of our treatment or cures, or con
suit almost any of these people you sec

doctor excused himself to see the clamor-
