A Master of Medicine and Surgery.

There has probably never been "a ply
stefan or surgeon in San Francisco who
was so literally patronized by the sick and
suffering, and at the same time so highly
praised by them, as the distinguished
specialist. Doctor Cook, whose Offices are
permanently located at S65 Market street.
His private consultation rooms are daily
visited by people not only of San. Fran
cisco, but from all over the West. They
come from every station of life. Among
them are bankers, lawyers, merchants,
mechanics, ministers, farmers, laborers
and literary gentlemen, many of whom
have repeatedly sought relief from other
physicians, and have repeatedly met with
disappointments.
While they go to. Doctor Cook full of
disease and dependency, they come away
from him full OF hope, confidence and Joy,
and feeling better in every way. From
that very hour they begin to permanently
improve. What the great specialist does
to them, or the kind of treatment he ad-
ministers to them, is a secret known only
to himself-a secret upon which his re-
markable success is founded.
The vast volumes of testimonials in
Doctor Cooks possession are the strongest
and most convincing proof of his ability
to com bat and Conquer ali the different
diseases that come within his specially
They show that he has cured numberless
cases of female com plants, mems private
ailments, rheumatism. chronic catarrh,
blood and skin diseases and functional
diseases OF the heart, lungs. liver, stom-
ach, kidneys, bladder and urinary organs.
But Doctor Cooks special treatment for
lost manhood and its many attending all
ments of physical, mental and sexual
weakness is the browning glory of mis- pro-
fessional career. 1t is treatment known
to no other physician in America. 1t is

AN IMPORTANT SALE.
A Long Line of Uncalled. For
Garments Being Sod at 40
Per Cent Discount.
The Columbian Wooden Mills, S. N.
Wood & Co., Have Inaugurated a
Sale on East Pans.

Mr.. Meyer Wood of the Colum bian
Wooden Mills, S. N. Wood & Co., returned
to this City from the East few days ago,
where he had been for the past month ar
ranging with his Eastern agencies for an
extensive and novel sale of mems clothing,
which commenced on Monday at their
head workshop. Sal Market street, directly
opposite Sansome, and which will be con-
Quoted on q system quite common in the
Eastern cities, but heretofore unknown in
California.
The sale in question consists of un called
for garments, comprising collection of
suits and overcoats OF all descriptions and
sizes, gathered from the Eastern branches
OF the Colum bian Wooden Mills, as we'll as
from the several agencies of the firm in
San Francisco. Oakland and throughout
this State. 1t is the custom of many of
the large Eastern firms, with several
branches, to hold clearance sale once a
year of garments that have been ordered
and uncalled for, and the Colum bian
Wooden Mills propose to inaugurate this
system of yearly ciearances of their several
stores throughout the country at their
head workshop. 541 Market street.
Besides the many neat and nobby gar
ments which accumulate at their large
stores, Ourln the year tDe lucky purchasers
at clearance sales have the advantage also
OF q great reduction in price, which OF
course Is allowed in order to facilitate a
quick and complete sale. In speaking of
sales of this character Mr. Meyer Wood of
the Columbian Wooden Mills had the fol-
lowing to say:
SIT has been our custom to hold these
clearance sales of uncalled-for goods each
year in either one of our New York stores,
but this year we have decided to conduct
the sale in San Francisco and give the
public here an opportunity they have
never had before to purchase suits and
overcoats Of superior quality, as we'll as of
the finest workmanship, at a reduction of
40 per cent on the original price, The goods
we are to sell accumulate on our hands by
reason of various causes. They are clothes
which have been ordered but never sold,
for many reasons. Sometimes, for in
stance, we fail to finish suit of clothes,
an overcoat, or some other garment on
time, and if the purchaser refuses to COM
pIete the bargain he can, of course, do so,
and this way 1t is left on our hands. Sick
ness and various other emergencies on the
part OF purchasers in like manner leaves
on our hands at the end of each year hun
dreds of garments, and it is Tor this rea-
son we have adopted, as is the custom of
other large Eastern firms, these annual
clearance sales of uncalled-for suits, over
coats and other garments, which are sold

SANTA BARBARA, Call. Dec, Ito
Santa Barbara belongs the credit of ex-'

working classes with clear conscience
and upon an equal worldly basis. He de-
votes all his time to the advancement of
social reform and the benefit of mankind:
This debate is looked forward to: with in

Bishop. Newman attended last night.

Bishop Newman attended last nights

managers. of the San Francisco Methodist

which was held in the .lecture-room of the
Simpson Memorial Church, and briefly
addressed the board after routine business
had been concluded.
The San Francisco. organization, he
said; ranked with those in Chicago and
Philadelphia, and, in his opiniont was a
little: AHEAD OF the one in New York.
This was NO hattery on his part. but a fact.
To his mind, the present organization was
hopeful nucleus and promised much for
the future. He considered that it had
already accomplished wonders and yet,
las has been intimated, there was much
more work for it to do.
Personally he strongly favored the fire.

REMARKS, bnt suggested that he would be
better able to appreciate the society S

| meeting in January. On that occasion,
the chairman added, the proceedings
would be characterized by the "feast oil
reason and the flow of soul, hardly pos
sible ina purely business gathering.
It was decided, ln.view of the fact that
the Bishop. has to be in Los angeles early
in February, to hold the annual tea-meet-
ing on January %. The following com
mittee was appointed to arrange a pro-
gramme: W. Abbott, w. w. Case, Q. S.

In addition to the above two further
comm ittees. were appointed to deal with
finance and the nomination of officers, re-

The balance OF the evenings business
included the consideration of apportion-
ments ascribed to the various Methodist
churches of the City and the financial con-
dition of the society. In this connection
a general sentiment was expressed in favor
of supplying the City congregations with
more. complete knowledge of the objects
of the society and the amount of assist
ance which it has contributed to the
churches represented since its organiza-
ton in 1882. A motion was unanimously
adopted requesting the finance committee

There are several reasons why Doctor

learning, and superb skill are also power

all this he is thoroughly equipped with
