WHAT TO DO.

If yon are sick and have lost hope of getting
WELL have tried patent nostrurns aud your
physician says, ''you can't get welP' or give
you any encouragement or relief or have lost
confidence in them, that is the time you
should not give up in despair but like true
man or woman exert your remaining phi yscal
energies regardless of skepticism, regardless of
the influence of jealous PHI ysclans. Regardless
of friends who try TO advice you for the best,
but often make mistakes on account of their
ignorance OF the ability, the experience, know
lege and special training which expert special
lists like the Physicians of the DEBORAH Med
cal ond Surgical Institute have had in the
large practice which they enjoy.
IL is by observing these different phases of
diseases that they are proficient in the cases
they handle. Notwo cases are alike; no two
physicians use exactly the same treatment
yet IL does not follow that you cannot be
cured by one who has had greater experience
than those you have employed.
There are few people everywhere who al
low prejudice 10 kill them, and are not salts
hed with combining their prejudice to them
selves, but often are instrumental in keeping
others from getting well. If you are seeking
relief you should not listen to skepticai
friends, jealous physicians as you owe your
health TO your family, not TO those who would
not give you financial assistance.

Obituary..

GATES-At her home at Burr Oak, Iowa,
January l. 1898, OF diphtheria, Miss Leila G..
Gates, oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Gates, aged Is years, "A days.
Deceased was loving, dutiful daughter, a
kind and genteel sister, "a sincere and faithful
friend. She had gained the confidence, love
and respect of all who knew her.
Diphtheria was the fated illness that cut
short this sweet and beautiful flower, under
the ruthless hand of death. Terrible the blow
and sharp and piercing the sting TO those who
lose their loved ones thus. Yet how precious
the consolation of Gods word-"Thy children
shall come again from the land ofthe enemy"
Our love goes out in sympathy to the bereaved
parents for the loss of their dear one, and we
pray that they may cast their burden at the
Sayior's feet, who is willing TO comfort the
sorrowing and heal the broken hearted. IL
will be only little while until we shall again
clasp our restored jewels To our bosoms in
that realm of love and life where God himself
shall wipe away all tears.
Interment was in Burr Oak cemetery Sun
day morning, January 2, 1898. The body of
deceased was followed by a goodly number of
relatives and friends, Rev. j. Hilburn officiat-
ing at the grave.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved Is stilled
place liz vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And though the body moulders here
The soul Is safe In Heaven. *s~

Preventing
Diphtheria and
Consumption.
Catarh
These Timely "Decorah
Regarding Throughout Country

The hosts who are suffering and
dying from these diseases have at last
awakened great efforts on the part OF
the various boards of health through
out the country to check their spread.
Those who have the health of the in
habitants of the great cities under their
care are marking heroic efforts to stamp
out as far as they may these dreadfully
fatal diseases. The only doctors who
object to what the health boards are
doing are those who claim that they
have a cure for advanced stages of con-
sumption.
The DEBORAH Specialists have from
time to time told the people that they
had no cure for consumption in its
later stages.
"We have no patience with the doc
tors who claim to cure consumption
after the disease has firm hold on the
lungs, and we have less patience with
that class of doctors who try to brighten
the people into believing that catarrh
causes all cases of consumption. Both
sorts of doctors are, to say the least,
mistaken.
1--WE recognize that consumption
does not begin in the lungs of one in
perfect health any more than throwing
lighted match into pail of water
will start fire. We know from ex-
perience that anything that will run
down the bodily strength will allow
the seeds of consumption to gain foot
hold in the lungs.
1--WE know that any disease that
causes an inflammation of the throat

iberia.
"We know that there is no disease
that so universally weakens the sys-
tenn as does catarrh. We know that
the discharge from this disease runs
down the bodily strength so that it be-
comes an easy prey to disease. We
know that the sore spots made by the
catarrh furnish just the condition that
is needed to allow the seeds of con-
sumption or diphtheria to enter the
system.
while we have nothing to offer
that will cure consumption i'm an adj
vanced stage-while we are not con-
sumptive-cure fanatic-we know that
the right way to prevent the disease
from developing is 10 improve the
bodily welfare so that the system will
refuse to allow it to develop
1--WE know that if the people were
only alive to the fact that if they at
tended to their throat and bronchial
tubes and allowed those skilled in the
treatment of these parts to cure them
there would be but few cases of con-
sumption or diphtheria. Any doctor
who has had any extensive experience
i'm TREATING cat rrhal trOublaS il aware
how this disease extends from the
throat to the bronchial tubes and
thence to the lungs, causing form of
consumption known as catarrhal con-
