A play that gives unique and remarka-
BILE opportunity for emotional acting,
while 1t also presents comedy, is The
Queen of Liars" by Daudet and Hen

thing about this drama is the fact that
this season 1t has been the medium for
the reintroduction to the public of Minnie
Madden Fiske, whose great work in 1t
has led the leading critics in the largest
cities to declare her to be the greatest
emotional actress in this country, while
they have compared her work favorably
with that of the greatest foreign actress"

At Veno's consulting parlors are
the scenes of miracles in Menger
Hotel. Last night Mr.. Henry Gus
ties, aged SO years, who has been
paralyzed for the past fifteen years
and not able to stand or walk a
step in that time, was carried in
to Veno's Office by the respective
gentlemen, as above mentioned.
Mr.. Custes stated to Veno he was
helpless within himself and hope
lessly given up by all physicians
whom he ever consulted. In 20
minutes time he was given the
power and strength to arise from
his seat unassisted and walked
down and out of the hotel to his
carriage, where he had been carried
from only 20 minutes before, both
to the wonderment and edification
of many people, who were sitting
outside the consulting room. Never
before in the history of San Anto-
MO has any physician obtained so
sudden and remarkable results as
in this case of Mr.. Custes and by
the continued use of Veno's Cura-
tive Syrup and Electric Fluid Mr..
Custes will undoubtedly be perma-
nently cured. Other prominent
men speak. Col. Pat. Fields, whose
eyes have been afflicted for many
years and has been treated by many
physicians, after applying Veno's
medicines three times, can see
better than he could for years. Mr..
Clark Ramsey, of No. 305 Burleson
street, of this city, who has been a
constant sufferer from catarrh for
over ten years, he too, had tried
all kinds of medicines and en-
ployed several physicians to cure
him, but all failed, until he APP
piled to Veno, who prescribed for
him, and now he is numbered
among the many well people of San
Antonio. Scores of others have given
these teitimonials to Veno, many
are astonishing. Veno will remain
until January IA, which will posi-
lively be his last day in San An
tonic. All afflicted and disabled

once, which will be given free of
charge from 8 a. m. to p. m. daily.
By calling on or addressing Mr.. r.
d. Jones, teacher of room No. 3,
San Pedro school, the particulars
in the above case can be obtained.
If unable to visit San Antonio

VENO'S CURATIVE SYRUP is
the quickest cure for malarial
fever, dyspepsia, constipation, ner-
vousness, sleeplessness, liver and

and pains. Price so cents each.
