successful practice.
Their reputation as specialists had pre-
ceded them and they need no introduce
ton in this section of the country, in tact
the very name of Goldberg is sufficient to
guarantee to the patient that they will
receive the proper treatment. 1t was
through the earnest solicitations of their
many patients throughout this section

with them, who find it impossible to go
to Detroit to do so.
DR.. S. Goldberg who is at the head of
the institute has taken personal charge
ofthis branch and until further notice
will doctor free till cured all those who
may call on him; these services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also all surgical opera
tions.
The object in pursuing this course is
that the doctor is DESTROYS of becoming
personally acquainted with the sick and
afflicted.
The doctor treats all forms of diseases
and deformity and is recognized as the
most successful specialist in the treat
ment of all chronic, nervous, private,
delicate, blood, skin, eczema, scrofula,
kidney, liver, bladder, stomach, rectum,
and female diseases.
Men suffering with loss of vitality, var
icocele, seminal weakness, structure, blood
poison, skin diseases. or any disease af-
fecting the genito- urinary organ, weak
back, gravel, catarrh and unnatural dis
charges, Inflammation and other painful
conditions, rendering the patient unable
to do work and ofttimes an untimely
grave, receive scientific treatment, prompt
relief and permanent cure.
Women suffering from female weak
ness, lassitude, leucorrhea (whites), dis
placements or liberation of the womb,
neuralgia, headache, dizziness, backache,
fainting spells, dark spots before and
dark rings under the eyes. will find
speedy and permanent cure, as the doc
tors are specialists in these diseases.
All affections Of the throat and lungs
also treated, as well as diseases Of the rec
tum, such as piles, alterations, fissure,
and prolapse, cured without the knife or
detention from business.
Since locating in Detroit, 1921
patients called upon them for treat
ment, of which number 24,117 have been
entirely cured, ], 408 rejected as incurable.

4 Louisvllls Attorney Who Taught HI.
Client . Clever Trick.
From the Louisville Courier Journal:
A barrister Of the city court is very
much chagrined on account Of trick
played on him by one OF his clients,
thereby causing him to lose a fee Of
$25. Several days ago man was ar.
rested on a charge Of shooting at with
out wounding." This picturesque fig
ure Of the city court, who brags that
the rich coloring Of his nose had cost
him small-sized fortune. was consult
ed and consented to defend the man.
Before the trial came up the barrister
called his client from the court room
and said: CHOW. the only way you
can get out Of this scrape is to play in
sane. Whenever question Is put to
you, instead Of giving an intelligent
answer, Just wave your hand In front
OF your face and whistle. The Judge
will at once adjudge you insane, and, OF
course, you will be all right" 1 ss
The man consented to play insane,
and took his seat on the stand.
What is your manner" asked one. OF
the attorneys.
The defendant looked idiotic, waved
his hand and then whistled.
Everybody In the court room began
70 laugh. Question after question was
asked the man, bu. ne answered al of
them BY waving lis hand and whistling

Taxpayers Obtain an Injunction.

Residents of Hanover township on
Tuesday applied for an injunction
against the school directors of the town
ship. The taxpayers claim the school
directors have advertised the sale of
school bonds to the extent of $50, 900 at
per cent interest; that this act on the
part of the board is unlawful, wrongful
and unjust, and is a plain and manifest
violation of their duties as u school
board; that it would do u great wrong
to the people of that township to create
such debt; that the board has no legiti-
mate use or necessity for the money,
and the board can and has levied suf-
iicient for all its needs. A preliminary
injunction was granted.

BY recent decision of the county
controller, the cities, boroughs and
townships will receive an addition to
the liquor license money already paid
them. 1t has been The custom of the
county treasurer heretofore to deduct 3
per cent from the amount due each To-
cality whose share amounted to s 200
or less, per cent on the second 81 200
and one-half of per cent on the bal
ance. When Borough Treasurer Shigo
applied last week for Freeland's share
the county treasurer had decided to re-
tain per cent of all the money due the
borough, $40s in all. Objections were
made, and subsequently a compromise
was effected, and the commission az
above stated was deducted, $90.s0
The question then arose as to what
right the county treasurer has to retain
any percentage of the borough's share
of the license money, and the decision
of the controller is that he has no right
whatever and that the sums kept in
this manner from each municipality
shall be paid them. Hereafter each
city, borough and township will receive
the full four-fifths of the amount paid
for retail liquor licenses.
