ABOUT TESTIMONIALS
Only "a small Portion Is Published


During the twenty-five years Of their
phenomenally successful practice the pol
icy Of never publishing the name photo
graph or testimonial of patient without
express permission has been strictly ad-
hered TO by the ENGLISH AND GERMAN
EXPERT SPECIALISTS.
In any event, no ordinary cures are pub
lished-only the most complicated cases,
such as require rare skill and long expert
encc, and which might interest the public.
Many men and women who have been
restored to perfect health and happiness
and given new lease of life inss, that the
pleasing story of their recovery be made
public, so that others may know where
10 go for relief in the hour of dire dis
tress. We make this statement for the fol-
lowing reasons: There may be a few people
in Southern California who are not familiar
with the business methods of the ENG
LISH AND GERMAN EXPERT SPF,-
CIALISTS, people who might feel timid
about consulting them, fearing that their
names would be published. To such we
wish to say that under no circumstances
will the name of one of our patients be made
public in any manner unless they so de-
sire. We also have large list of cured
patients who are willing to have us refer
to them any anxious seekers for relief
but who do not want their names to appear
in the newspapers There may be some
skeptical individuals who think that we
publish all our cures. If there are any
SUCH we want them to know that we have
made thousands of cures which the world
at large knows nothing of. We extend an
invitation to anyone interested to call at
our offices and be convinced that we have
record that stands without parallel in
the history of medicine.

Il hectare is equivalent to 2.471 acres.
The following statistics concerning the
crop of 1897-98 are taken from recent
number of El Fomento Industrial y Mer-
antil of Madrid:
Germany is expected to produce from
l,750,0O0 to 1.950,0 tons; Austria, from
900 to 100000 tons; France, from $780,
900 to 100000 tons; Russia, from 10000
to 100000 tons; Belgium, from 215,000 to
100000 tons; Holland, from 100000 to 49,
900 tons; and other countries, $4,000
tons, making total of 4,500,000 tons.
'In 1S96-97 the crop was 4,915,149 tons.
Comparing this with the coming crop,
there will be a deficit Of 416,O00 tons.
Taking the maximum quantity, the in
crease would be $4,000 tons; the medium,
a deficit of 10000 tons. The maximum,
however, is more likely to be the case"

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

When a mans tired
In both body and mind
Homes the only place
That he's anxious to find;
1t may be palace,
A cottage or hut
1t makes little difference
When he's tired, but
It's home.
There are numerous clubs
And pleasure resorts
That provide entertainment,
Refreshments and sports,
There are houses of worship,
With music and prayer
But when a mans tired
He seeks refuge from care
AT home.
At home he's greeted
BY affections caress;
He doffs all pretensions
OF manner or dress;
He tosses the baby
And torments the dog,
Or goes to bed early
And sleeps like log
At home.
The home Is the heart
OF our comfort and cheer
Made so by the presence
OF those we hold dear;
BY the thought that we're shut in
From all that annoys.
And nothing can enter
To disturb our joys
AT home.
