To Out-of-Town Patients:


 Since the establishment of the South ern Medical Dispensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was the first medical institute in Birming gham--a5 the files of the city papers will show-our success has been so pronounced ss to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled "old reliable specialists" to inn itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious pretensions end heroic self praise make capital for themselves by their questionable methods. We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do- Zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in- terests and safety by first making an investigation of the home character of the man that they would have. treat them.
 If you are a mem Der of any church, or if you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of-H., K. of F., or belong to any order or organization then write to some leader, officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, social and financial standing. After doing this, write to us plain state- m0ub Ol your Cjbo dUu lUClube Stdmp for reply. We will give you then our opinion, terms for treatment, etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. 1t will cost you nothing more than a stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.
 We will send in plain sealed envel- ope our "Book for Men" and Question List for Pc stamp; Question List for Ladies for % stamp.
 All correspondence will be consid- cred confidential and be kept sacredly inviolate.
 As pointer, please read this from recent issue of the Age Herald:

Parkhurst Pursuing.

New YORK, Dec. 3l.-Dr. Park
hurst tonight made public the state
ment he has promised regarding the
handling of Superintendent Byrnes
by the Lexow committee, while that
officia! was in the witness chair.
The statement which is very lengthy
ly, begins with the reverend gentle-
man expressing appreciation for the
splendid work of the committee and
it's talented counsel up to certain
point in it's proceedings.
"Late in November" he continu
ed, "the indications were clear that
the investigation was not to be
pushed to it's close with the same
energetic and unspariag manner that
had been followed up to that date.
A good many days went by in
which cases were discussed which
wearied the public, which made no
substantial addition to the knaw|edge
already gained and which were frit.
tering away the time that we knew
ought be expended on the inspec-
tors and the superintendent. We
knew that the character Of the police
force was reflection from the
character of it's chief executive and
his immediate subordinates and that
however many captains might be be-
smirched and however many SER
geants might be cashiered, the genius
of the matter would not be reached
until we had arrived at the quality OF
the FIVE men, who together constitute
its executive headship.
''In view of all this we are justi-
fed in saying that while the commit
tee stood ur to the rack magnificent
ly through all the earlier portions OF
the investigation, they finched at
the crisis As long ago as when Mr..
Moss attempted to adduce evidence
against Mr. Byrnes in the Marrett
matter, the investigating committee
sprang to Byrnes' defense Now
that is not a thing to be debated.
Their attitude was instantly recog-
nized by those in attendance, and
distinctly stated in the journals Of
the next morning The pursuit OF
lines that might possibly have con-
duced to the real inwardness of
Byrnes' conduct and character was
discouraged as it had been dis
couraged in the case of no other
man.

The Papal Decree Concerning Sc
cret Societies is Final.

WASHINGTON, Dec Blowing to
misapprehension caused by the pub
lication of the statement that the de-
cree concerning secret societies was
not final and was submitted to
bishops in order to secure from them
their opinions thereon, Mgr. Satolli
offers the following brief statement
Of facts to set at resi- the misappre.
hension and possible misrepresenta-
ton: The archbishops of the United
States have taken counsel with re-
spect to three societies, namely, the
Odd Fellows, the Sons of Temper.
ance and the Knights Of Pythias.
The archbishops decided that the
whole question should be submitted
to the Apostolic See. In commu.
nication from His Eminence Cardinal
Monaco to Mgr. Satolli, the action of
the general congregation of cardi-
mails, to whom His Holiness SUBJ
mitted the question, is made. The
congregation, after considering
carefully the matter, made a decree.
This decree His Holiness fully con-
6rmed, and gave it complete effect.
The decree is, therefore, transmitted
to all archbishops, bishops and other
ordinaries of the United States, to be
by them carried into effect Mgr.
Satolli has acted merely as the me-
dium Of transmission. But in view
of contradictory and confusing re-
ports emanating from various parts
of the country, the facts are thus
briefly stated.
