experience and mind devoted to his profess
sion, DR.. sweany should have achieved his en-
viable reputation for curing distressing and
obstinate cases which had been given up as in
durable?
AS yet no case of failure can be discovered
against him, and such ability and skill to COM
bat and conquer all diseases of men and women
have never before been demonstrated
Although the doctor charges in some cases
more than ordinary physicians and specialists,
his services are certainly of different value, and
else it is certainly the services of a competent
and successful physician and specialist who
never loses sight of a single case until perfect
and permanent cure is effected Those who
are afflicted should not waste time, money and
health dosing with cheap treatments, cheap
medicines and nostrums
The Doctor gives his services free of charge
to the poor and worthy who call at his Office
every Friday afternoon, and many expressions
of gratitude and praise go out daily from. the
poor well as from those who have paid him
well for valuable and successful services rem
dered. AS man DR.. Sweany is truly upright
conscientious and charitable, and as physi-
clan he is thoroughly competent, earnest and
successful, and any and all persons who may
be suffering from any human ailments what
ever will do themselves a great injustice il
they do not call upon him, even if their troubles
have resisted all other efforts to cure. He
treats nervous debility of every kind, name and
nature far in advance of any other instit
in this country.

The Practice of Medicine and Surgery
Completely Revolutionized by
DIR. Sweany.
THE STORY OF HIS SUCCESS.
The Great Specialist Has Made Life
Anew to Thousands and Tens of
Thousands Who Had Been Given Up
by Other Physicians-His Specialties
and Mode of Treatment.

BY his skill as specialist Doctor Sweany has
completely revolutionized the practice of medi-
cine and surgery in San Francisco.
Standing to-day, as he does, far in advance OF
any specialist or medical institution in the
country, his wonderful success and skill are
the outgrowth of several conditions by which
alo lie what he has done in San Francisco could
be accomplished.
First, the qualifications with which nature
has endowed him. evidenced by his keen
percept ton into the mysteries OF all diseases
with which those who apply to him are affiict-
ed. He is thus enabled to clearly distinguish
the exact character of the complaint and to
conceive the proper and most effective kind of
treatment for its entire cure.
Second he is wholly devoted to his profess
sion, having no other desire for achievement
than to make still grander the complete sue
cess which he has thus far attained. His great
stability of character his unceasing study and
untiring energy to accomplish that which he
sets out to do, together with many more great
and noble qualities, which one soon recognizes
in him, all serve to advance him in his most
worthy ambition.
Third, his great advantages Of study and ex-
perience in the leading and best colleges and
hospitals in the land, where he served in all
departments, and where his great natural abil-
ity was acknowledged in all branches as being
superior to his quite worthy but less successful
associates, have all helped to assist him in his
work.
Is it any wonder that with all of these adj
vantages in his favor, natural ability, study,

This is the first time that Griffons have been
seen on this coast, but in France they are
now extensively used by sportsmen. They are
a cross between the old English otter hound
and the Chiffon de-a-Vendee and Russian set
ter, with perhaps some of the blood of the
French poodle. The Griffons will point to
feather or chase fur and can be used for almost
all kinds OF hunting, and like all dogs possess
ing wiry coats they are noted for courage and
wonderfui staying qualities. They evidently
get their bird-hunting instinct from the Rus
sian setter cross. The following are the points

CHIMNEYS AND DRAFTS.
There Is Economy in Finding the Proper
Percentage of Air.

AT late meeting of the Engineers Club
of st. Louis Colonel E. D. Meier read pa
per on 'Chimneys and Chimney Drafts"
The subject was considered with special
reference to modern boiler practice and
American coal. Computations usually
made of stack capacity assumed the Chin
ney gases to be of the same specific gravity
as air This is not true, as when combus-
ton is complete the gases are really mix
ture of carbonic acid gas, nitrogen and
steam, the proportions varying with differ
ent Goals. Asthese require different amounts
OF air, the varying weights of the gases
OF combustion cause a difference in the
dgaft power of the same chimney 1t is
rare that just the proper amount of air is
admitted and there is a loss when the
amount is too little or too great Very
often there is a surplus, reaching some
times as high as 100 per cent. Tables were
presented showing these facts clearly for
i've well-known Goals. Computations were
made showing how the capacity of Chin
ney could be increased much above the
normal by raising the temperature of the
gases, the result always being accompanied
by corresponding loss in efficiency. 1t
was shown that the same capacity could be
obtained without loss of efficiency by in
creasing the height of the chimney-The
