A Paralytic for II Months
Walks and Talks.
Read What He Has to Say OF
DR.. II. Russell Burner.

This is to certify that seventeen months
ago I was paralyzed in San Francisco and
laid in the German Hospital fourteen weeks
and got no better. and was given up by
number Of the best physicians. Then left
the hospital and employed another physician
in San Francisco. and he did me no good,
Then I employed another physician. who
claimed there was no help for me. and ad-
yised me to go to Southern California. and
thought perhaps / would get some relief
there l came to Los Angeles with my fam
fly six months ago. and employed two physi-
clans here. One of them treated me about
two months. and the other a month. Neither
OF whom did me any good. Both Of these
Los Angeles physicians considered and said
had disease of the liver and kidneys and
psralysis and although they gave me elec-
tric!ty and medicine they failed to do me
any good.
I finally heard Of DR.. II. Russell Burner
and his wondrous and marvellous cures. and
went to see him. He made a careful sxami-
nation and told my family and myself that
he could give me immediate relief. and in
the course Of time perfectly cure me and re-
store to me my former health. I have now
been under his treatment Just seven days.
and am glad to say that have received more
benefit at his hands than from the treatment
of all the other physicians that have en-
ployed during the whole seventeen months
since l afflicted.
During this weeks treatment at DR.. H.
Russell Burners Health Temple. on corner
North Broadway and Temple, l have met
large number of his patients, attended q num-
ber of his lectures, met and saw hundreds
of people there, and am pleased to state that
l have heard but one expression from his
patients. and that Is of gratitude for RELIEF
received from his hands. There seems to be
but one expression from the many hundreds
who attend his lectures, and that is Of their
satisfaction for the information given. l at
tended the Doctors private lecture to gentle-
men last night and have stated to other par
ties this morning that that lecture was worth
500 to any man, and no lady or gentleman
in the city of Los Angeles can AFFORD to stay
away from these important, scientific and ex-
ceedingly interesting lectures.

and his work, his instruments. medicines and
books to the afflicted everywhere.

GERMANS COLLISION
Fred German had his forehead crushed to-
night by running INTO the pole of J. T. Mush-
rush's wagon, while scorchinS down North
Euclid avenue. 1t was between 5 and
o'clock, and Fred was rushing down grade,
with the wind blowing his SLOUGH hat over
his eyes, when j. p Mushrush, teamster,
living at 266 Park street, was driving up the
street. Seeing the danger, Mir. Mushrush
called three time 70 Fred to turn, but he did
not hear till the crash came. German was
picked up and taken to his fathers home on
the corner of Illinois and Moline streets. Il
was thought at first that his skull was
crushed and that there would be no hope
Of his recovery, but he has since regained
and has a fighting chance.
Fred is bright and popular boy of about
l6, and his many friends will be surprised
and panied to learn of the sad accident. His
father, c. 7. German, is travelling man,
selling farming implements, and is now in
Arizona. 1t has been decided to wait till
morning, when. if Fred is not considerably
BETTER his father will be telegraphed for.

being that of Charles Ingwersen, who

to the assertion that the act was not

that transactions on the stock yards

consequently il could not be alleged
that there was class legislation.
In the decision it was admitted there
was a difference between the board of
trade and the stock yards exchange.
Inasmuch as the members of the latter
paid no dues and enjoyed no exclusive
privileges, the court cOrtended that the
intention OF congress, in framing the
act. was to make certain great martS

The fiIecracker so extensively used by
Americans in celebrating Independence
day is a Chinese invention and is sup
posed to have been used in China in
prehistoric times as universally as it is
now used in the Flowery Kingdom upon
nearly all ceremonious occasions. Its
original use is supposed to have been
to brighten away evil spirits and in
some parts of the Celestial empire it is
still regarded as an effective weapon
against ghosts and hobgoblins.
