auent husband the Rev. DIR. f. II. Chaplin II was
esta bshed the early seventies at least ten years
before the death of Dr. Chaplin The first public
meeting was held In the basement Of DR.. Chaplin =
church on February 1. 1860 but previously several
more private meetings were held In Mrs. George
HorYmans house. The real founder OF the Chaplin
Home was Mrs. Sophia Curtiss Hoffman. II was In
her parors that Emma Abbott sang (prior to study

her 70 secure musical instruction came from Mrs
HofYmans ready purse. The $500 given 10 the Chaplin
Home after Emma Abbott sang In Mrs HOFFMAN

Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase In the number
IL deaths which occur 40 the result Of 9
surgical operation 10 attracting general
stanton, and q strong sentiment
against such methods Of treatment .
fast developing among the most intellt.
rent classes. Il seems that In almost
every case for which the doctors' treat
xnent 10 unsuccessful, the learned physi.
clans decide 1t once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
o. the surgeon IL reck1essly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and Of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be indulged in
pron,iscuously, and as 90 many lives are
saerifced in this manner, It 10 but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing q fearful risk to human life, even II
successful.
tis q positive fact, however. that all
operations are not necessary, and that q
majority Of them are absolutely under.
taken without the slightest chance OF
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and sur.
Rical operation is their only method OF
treating deep-seated cases, such as can-
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Cam
Ger Is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cuk from the blood.
