Testimonial From a Patient Recently
DISCHARGED
LOS ANGELES. CAL. Sept.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Sept. 49, 1897.
Dr. w. Harrison Ballard. 406 Stimson
block-Dear Sir: No less out of gratitude
to yourself than in the hope that my ex-
perience may be guide to other sufferers,
send you this unsolicited testimonial.
Last winter had serious attack of bron-
chits, which, complicated with a catarrh
from which 1 had suffered for years. re-
duced me to a condition all but hopeless,
other medical men who attended me CIV
ing me only partial and temporary relief.
One of these at last discovered the bacilli
of tuberculosis In my sputumSand his dis
covery was confirmed by another whom
consulted. In this extremity fortunately
fell in with one of your ex-patients, who
strongly recommended me to consult you.
did so, and after treatment of four
months 1 am now in better health than
have enjoyed for five years, the catarrh
having disappeared, as well as the bacilli
of tuberculosis. 1t may not be amiss to
add that two near members of my family
died of consumption.
Only those who have suffered as I have
done can properly appreciate the feelings
with which 1 write these lines; and in the
hope that others, for their own sakes may
be induced to consult you in time, remain,
dear sir, yours faithfully,

Los Angeles who had been sick for years
with consumption and had been cured by
DR.. Ballard's improved Koch treatment.
Through him I was induced to try it. 1
commenced treatment last April, and
though not yet cured, I am different wo-
man. My breathing is almost natural and
not noticed unless hurrying fast. My gen.

a year. My work, which used to be a
task. is now a pleasure. The character of
my sputa has changed and 1 am, l think,

honesty and would recommend all sufferers
from lung trouble to consult him without

Another Positive Testimonial From a
Cured Patient

DR.. w. Harrison Ballard. 406 Stimson
block, Los Angeles, Cal.-Dear Sir: 1 have
been cured of consumption by your i'm
proved "tuberculin treatment" more
direct and positive statement l cannot
make. l came to you early in the month or
February last, suffering from what you
called, after careful examination, lnclpl-
ent consumption. Acting upon your ad-
vice, and after looking up carefully num-
ber of the many testimonials you offer for
investigation, concluded to try your treat
ment, and now l can say, and say posi-
lively, that l am cured The history of
my illness differs but little from that of
most people similarly afflicted. An incom-
plete recovery from an attack OF grip,
which was prevailing at the time, and
four years of night newspaper work IN
Chicago resulted in a general collapse.
! 1t was while in this condition that be-
gan to have a severe cough, with expecto-
ration. fever and night sweats. There was
a gradual decrease in weight until after
three weeks of your treatment. when
began to gain. This continued until the
1st of June when at that time l weighed
more and felt better physically than
had for years.
This rapid recovery of mine is not by
any means the only case you have on your
records 1t has been my pleasure. during
the seven months of my stay in Los An
geles, to daily witness the remarkable and
successful results you are having with your
improved Kochs treatment. From my
personal knowledge know that the medi-
cal world is awakening to the fact that
lyou have a cure for tuberculosis. In
connection let me say that I not only
indorse your improved Koch's tuberculin
as cure for consumption, but urge any
person suffering from tuberculosis to lose
lno time, but place himself under your care
for treatment.
Thanking you again for your kind treat
ment during my stay in Los Angeles.
assure you that I will always be ready to
answer any questions concerning your
treatment. Very truly,

are blank spaces to be used for a peren-

Many birds and flowers are necessarily
omitted, and the author apologies before
hand for its incompleteness. Most of the
quotations are from Thoreau, owing to
his picturesque and quotable style. The
Illustrations are of birds, flowers and
landscapes, and the whole volume is art

Human nature in such large and divers
quantities is much less susceptible of
self restraint, and much less capable of
a clear view Of legal limitations, than is
the human nature YOU find among men
disciplined in affairs.
The great work needed among wage
earning organizations-a work to be
carried on bv themselves-ls better edu-
cation in law and political economy.
This work is going on now; in some
places rapidly; in some places very
slowly. Take. for instance, the Union of
Locomotive Engineers and the Train
mems Association at Galesburg; among
them intelligent and self-respectlrg
leadership is comparatively easy. Some
other organizations, on the contrary,
are ready to vote away tie respect and
sympathy the public would otherwise
feel for them at the instance of any
high-wrought socialist or enthusiast
We must not blame them, however,
too severely. Capital, too frequently,
in these days, brushes out It's unorgau-
ized rival by mere power of consohda
ton. Labor, in many fields, is seeking
to do the same thing. Public opinion
and the officers of the government must
see to it that both remain within the
limits of the law, leaving it to the Ameri-
can sense OF fair play and to inevitable
economic evolution to work out the

The play Is presented in four acts and
includes grave charges of corruption
such as are to be expected in the city
of New York. The prosecution is
spurred on by an independent press
and grand jury is called. The investi-
CATION results in duplicating the fore
man of the grand jury in corruption
and crime, and although he is tue
father-inlaw of the district attorney
the latter declares that justice shall be
done no matter who suffers. The play
is the most dramatic of any seen here
