Successful Operations.

DR.. Hornby, of Egan S. D. and
DR.. Bryant, of Forest City, Ia. ,per-
formed an operation upon Mrs.
Chas. Hecox and Miss Mary E.
Leavitt,last Thursday, removing a
cancer from the breast of each one.
The patients have obtained great
relief and Recovering rapidly from
effects of the operation. The oper-
atoms are said to have beeu very
successful but as to the removals
being a permanent cure it will re-
quire time to determine. We un-
derstand there are a few residents
here that have been under these
doctors treatment and 80 far,the re
suits are highly satisfactory. They
expect to perform . similar. opera
ton on Mrs. C.C.Whitney, next
Tuesday,. .so5 '}r ,,s. - ..'..-
Warrants were sworn out on a
complaint Of our resident physi-
clans, for the arrest Of the doctors
charging them with. praeticing
without state license. An attempt
was made to serve tho warrant
while the operation was being per
formed on Miss Leavitt, but the
doors were locked and the officer
not allowed to enter the room un-
til the patient had been properly
cared for. It is intimated that a
suit for damage will, result from
this action. The defendants were
brought before a Justice, waived OK
animation and were bound over to
the district court,and placed under
$4,000 bonds. The case has ex-
cited consid derable interest over
the entire state and will be watch
ed by the medical profession.

bespeak for. our home practitioners,

the case. All good citizens ought to
agree upon the impartial enforce

That enforcement should be uniform,
and not ,ftful7 or occasional, The lat

One Woman Tells Another.
And thus it is that the good news
is spread. \
There is no other being quite SO
enthusiastic as a pleased woman.
Minnehaha Tooth Paste
finds more buyers among women
than among men. This is because
women, as a rule, are the most care
full and the most economical: They
realize that cheap tooth preparations
are the most expensive because they
are not to be depended upon. They
realize that that Ninnehaha Tooth
Paste is . perfectly reliable and pure
tooth-cleanser and prpseryer, and is
worth all of the so cents it costs.
Cut the men are finding this out too.
Good druggists sell it for so cents,
or you can send for box by mail.
