Extract from Report of :Peniten-

mittees

In June, 1896. the Board of Pris-
on Commissioners entered INTO a
contract with the Tennessee Coal,
Iron d Railroad Company but the
terms on which the State was to
furnish convicts and maintain
them to mine iron ore at the In
man mines, located on the proper
W Of the L. q. l. Co., in Marion
County, the State to receive 25c
per tom for the labor performed by
the convicts in mining iron ore.
the State to feed and guard the
convicts. In a few days after the
execution of this contracl the Zen
nessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Co.
transferred the COutraCt to one
George Nixon, agreeing TO take the
output OF the mines from him at
the gross price Of 60c per ton, he to
furnish Oils, powder and other nee
essarles for mining purposes The
said George Nj. Nixon employees A.
.. Kelley TO manage and super ms

and gives the said Kelley Bic pei

cost perhaps more than 4c per ton
leaving clear profit to MIR Nixon
of about Toe per ton. And there

January this year 1900 Your
committee is Of the opinion that
unless the State is paid at least SOC

that this contract should be dis
continued; that 25c a ton is not
fair and Just to the State. There
was 24,O913 days Of preparatory
work done by the convIct5 in the
way of building a railroad track

State has not, but should certainly

EXPERT EXAMINATION
And HOW TO Examine the
Sick

The first duty OF conscientious physi-
clan when consulted by sufferer is to find
out the exact nature of the disease and
the organs affected. This is always diff
cult task In chronic troubles and tries .he
physicians SKIN more Than any other
branch of medicine. Thousands or unfor-
tunutes have gone 10 early graves with the
nature OF their disease undiscovered.
Thousands are still wandering about from
doctor to doctor, getting different opin-
ion from each physician.
If all doctors were expert specialists and
educated In this brancn OF meoicine.. this
unfortunate conflict OF opinion could not
exist and chronic sufferers would have a
chance TO get well. instead OF spending
time and money trying TO- nnd out Wnat
ails them.
Every sufferer coming to the English and
German Expert Specialists Is sure Of an
expert as well as scientific and thorough
examination. These specialists Go not
make move in any case till they have made
consultation with other members of the
staff. The examination includes every or
gan in the body, with microscopic and
chemical examination of the urine and
expectoration. A record of the results OF
these examinations Is kept from week to
week, and thus the physician and patient
can note the progress of each case. There
Is no guesswork or trusting TO memory
here. System Is the foundation Of every
thing in this expert institute.
tion of system is not to be found else
where on this coast. The methods pursued
by the English and German Expert Spe-
cialists are the result Of their own years of
study and practice In large eastern and
foreign hospitals. II you ever come TO
these specialists for an expert examination
you will have some light on'your troubles
that you did not have before.

Strong Words

president of the English and German Spe-
cialists in the east, where he restored me
to health after many celebrated eastern
physicians had failed to"help me. Since
coming to California l was injured in a
street car accident and suffered from nerv-
Gus shocI1and nervous prostration. and T
was in most serious condition. 1t did not
take me long to decide where / should seek
help. I had not forgotten my Old physi-
clan. who had helped me when others fail

Specialists in the Byrne building. and again

for me, and | car" cheerfully recommend
them to any one suffering from the various
troubles that flesh is heir to. They are
honest and honorable gentlemen in every
sense of the word. and will tell you the
truth about your disease. Their charges

with the charges of regular specialists.

The advantages Of Mexico for capital

many erroneous statements have been
sent broadcast all over the United
States about her resources, that have
no desire to add myself to the number
OF irresponsible scribblers who only

Skim Disease Cured

Mabel Gladys Nightingale resides on
West Fifth street No. 3l5, and is q child OF
striking beauty. About six months ago,
Mabers mother noticed strange eruption
about the ears and on the forehead of her
little daughter. This eruption began to
spread rapidly. and her mother consulted
several physicians and specialists without
obtaining any relief The disease became
SO serious that It threatened the future
comeliness. as well as the happiness, Of this
pretty child. When the eye on the worst
side became affected Mrs. N. Immediately
sought the English and German special
lists. anxious that her little one should
have the best skill to be found.
The story is soon told-history continues
to repeat itself at this great curative insti
tuition. Mabel was under treatment with
these skillful specialists just two months
and Is today entirely cured Of all her skin
trouble. Nothing tests a physicians abl
ity more than these cases of seemingly in
cusable skin disorders.
