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, ard treat the sym =
ptoms, but while the cause exists cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of so
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 no sees Skin Dis
ease, he knows just whore the cauee 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 1t ia a
poison in the blood or a local trouble.
So it is with Loss Manhood, Gonorrhoea,
Syphilis, Early Vices, and other Diseases of
this class.

diseases and possesses skill aui methods

1t is claimed by DR.. Flowers
friends that he can diagnose any
disease of any person without ask.
ing the patient aquestion, and that
he is the only living physician
who can scientifically do so with,
out making a mistake.
The Boston Globe says, "In the
treatment of cancer, consumption,
tumor, heart and nerve troubles,
DR.. r. C. Flower has no equal in
the world" The Boston Traveller
says: "There is no experiment in
DR.. r. G. Flowers practice. Able
as he is to tell any one of his dis
ease, without asking question, he
is not likely to doctor his patients
for the wrong disease" The New
YORK Tribune says: CDR. R. G
Flower, of Bostsn, is the highest
authority on chronic disease anC
enjoys the largest practice of any
living physician.
Our readers will see that this
visit of DR.. r. c. Flower to the

THE SAN ANTONIO FRANCHISE
It Will Be Disposed of at the League
Meeting Monday.

An important question to be de-
cided at the meeting of the Texas
Baseball league at Austin, next
Monday, January 20), is the dis
position of the San Antonio fran
chise. Now that Ted Sullivan has
accepted franchise in the Allan
tic association, the San Antonio
franchise, according to baseball
law, belongs to the Texas league.
Neither James Nolan nor Pete
Brophy have any claim to it, and
the ownership of the franchise will
be decided at the meeting. 1t is a
matter of Importance that San An
tonic be represented at the meet
ing by delegate or this city will
surely get it in the neck.

A BADGER FIGHT.
W. Il. Gummere, of the Lehigh
Valley Road, the Victim.


What! Never saw badger fight?'
queried Red" Rigsby, of his friend, Z
X. Bixeby, of the U. p, last night. E X.
said he had never seen one, but had heard
tell of them a great deal.
+. j. McWade, OF the "Pennsy," who is
here, attending the Baggage Agents
convention, overheard the remark. He
Immediately told his friend, w. H. Lowe,
OF the Union Pacific, OF 1t, and so the
news was spread.
Excitement reigued supreme In the
Menger hotel lobby, about s o'clock last
night. The crowd followed Messrs.
Rigsby and Bixby and was led to livery
stable across the street, which site was
chosen as the battle ground. Here w. IL.
Lowe was appointed to hold the dog,
which was Hutchison's famous badger
fighter, Jack" Sam Overholt, Of the
Wabash, was assigned to hold down the
box containing the ferOciOuS badger
Bixby acted as referee and j. l.. Freeman,
of the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern, was time keeper.
These places were readily filed but
some little time was lost in deciding on
some one to pull the badger. Everybody
wanted to pull it, but MessrS. Rigsby
and BiXby, who had the matter
in charge, did not want to take chances
on anyone, unless they knew that he
WOulu SUI NlNb ouOChs ~ was blB
badger mud required big man to pull IT,.
Let Gummere, the Lehigh Valley
giant, pull it," shouted someone. w. II.
had bet on the badger and there was
Nsome objection to have him pull 1t. But
he insisted, and finally the crowd con-
scented to let him of1iciate. Lowe had a
hard job, holding the dog, and Gummere
was getting nervous.
Are you ready?" asked Bixby.
Yep" replied Gummere.
"Well, then, pull"
The badger came out like whirlwlnd
and Gummere had all he could do to get
out of the way Of the desperate beast.
1t was Gummere's first otfense, and he
swears he is going to teach everybody
along the Lehigh Valley how to fight a
badger, as they do in San Antonio,
Conductor Pete Valley, of the southern
Pacific, who halls from the Lehigh VAL
ley, arrived just too late to give Gum
mere tip of what was going to happen
il he pulled the string.
