WHAT TO DO.

If you are sick and have lost hope of getting
well, have tried patent nostrums aud your
physician says, "you can't get well'' 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 PIN ysical
energies regardless of skepticism, regardless OF
the infuence of jealous phi sicians, 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 TO kill them, and are not salts
fled 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 skeptical
friends, jealous physicians as you owe your
health to your family, not TO those who would
notg give you financial assistance.

Preventing
Di phtheria and
Consumption.
the
These few Timely Words from the Deborah Specialists
Regarding The ghou 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 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.
ave 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.
"We recognize that consumption
does not begin in the lungs of one in
perfect health any more than throwing
a 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 i'm the lungs.
1--WE know that any disease that
causes an inflammation of the throat
makes the sufferer more liable to diph-
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 to improve the
bodily welfare so that the system will
refuse to allow it to develop.
ave know that if the people We're
only alive to the fact that if they at
tended to their throat and bronchial
tubes and allowed those skilled i'm 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
in treating catarrhal troubles is 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-
sumption"

The value of striking title to an

titles famous by their uniqueness. Its
"Side-Talks With Girls" "Heart to
Heart Talks and "Unknown Wives
of Well-Known Men" have been ridi-
culed aud paraphrased from one end OF
the country to the other. But it has
all been grist tor the Philadelphia
periodical. Just now the title of "The
Inner Experiences of Cabinet Mem
ber's Wife" is attracting attention
Julia Magruder's new love-story is
given the title of "a Heaven-Kissine
Hill"-taken from Shakespeare, really
but who but the Journal would have
thought of it? Marion Crawford's new
story is called 1.-THE Dead Smiles
title good enough to sell any story
Talk about cleverness in titles, what
magazine is such postmaster in the
art as is The Ladies' Home Journal.
And newspaper man knows how
difficult this art of alternating is. But
nothing is so valuable in attracting the
eye of the public.
