Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
to the cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see the.effects only, such
as are visible to the eye, and treat the sym.
ptoms, but while the cause exists a cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of 80
many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to a few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees a Skin Dis
| ease, he knows just where the cause lies, and
just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease and
there appears a suspicious sore, to his ex-
perienced eye, it becomes plain whether it is
poison in the blood or a local trouble.
So 1t is with Lost Manhood, Gonorrhoea
Syphilis, Early Vices, and other Diseases OF
this class.

A Suggestion to Moralists,

If the goody.goody people of San
Antonio want to do something that
will tend to lessen crime and puri-
fy the morals Of their neighbors,
and the community in general, let
them petition the city council to
pass an ordinance requiring the
publication in full Of the proceed
ings Of the recorders court in the
official journal Of the city, giving
the full, correct names Of the law
breakers, the offense, penalties,
etc. AS a rule the offenders against
the peace and dignity OF the city
and state, have more dread OF the
public notice in the press than
they do for the infliction Of and
small fine.

question seems to be at a standstill
today. There was nothing new to
be learned about them at the city

lonesome, the regular force jok-

The present greatest sufferers by
the delay are the laborers on the
trenches, as they depended for
their living on their weekly wages,
and many have families in need of
daily sus6enance.
City Attorney Minor is busy at
work on the reply to the injunc-

postponement. Who the attorneys
will be to aid the city attorney in

been decided upon. RumOrs are
that several well known and prom
inent firms have been selected.
