that double chickens are produced from two

Our Travelling Staff.

We believe in "hustling" and it is
this policy that induced US q few years
ago, at vast expense, to enlarge our
membership and equipment so as to
maintain travelling staff in addition
to that of the home office. We did
this in order that we might come in
psrs onal contact with that large num-
bar of chronic sufferers whose physi-
cal condition, and in many cases Tins
ancial circumstances, forbid them go-
ing to the specialists in the cities for
expert treatment The success OF this
department has been phenomenal, the
work of cur travelling staff having
grown until four cars, which we own.
are required to transport the stan
and it's equipment from city to city.
The success of this staff is the great
advertisement that the home Office re-
ceives, making us friends by the thou
sand who, as the years go on, Will
continue to extend our reputation un-
til the name of the German-AmericAn
Staff will become a household word
throughout the United States.

being superintendent of the San Diego
Water Works and the Electric street

and his form, once straight and sturdy
became bent and emaciated The stray

day RS he pondered over his fate, a
thought that sent strange thrill

like an inspiration. He would try the

himself up to it and with all his feeble
strength pushed against the iron graf

Members Of Opposite Schools

The German Staff Physi-
ciaus and Surgeons, which has acheiv-
cd such remarkable success in the
yreasmsnt and cure of disease in all
iss thropic forms, stands unique
among organizations because OF the
fact that it's members, drawn from the
three great schools of medicine, the
allopathic, homeopathic and eclectic,
defy hoary tradition and time-honor'
ed precedent, and lay aside bigotry
usually characteristic of the members
Of opposite schools of medicine by anil
iating. BY thus working in harmony
the staff, and consequently the patient
who il placed in its care, secures the
benefit of the combined wisdom OF the
various schools. This affords IN adj
vaatage possessed by no similar inssi-
tuition IN the world.
From q financial standpoint, II for
no other consideration, it is to the in
terest OF the members of the staff to
work in harmony. All of the physi-
clans comprising the staff are gradu
atss from the foremost medical col
lsges OF this country and Europe. The
University Of the City OF New York.
University of Pennsvlvania. College
Of Physicians and Surgeons. Cincin-
natsi, University of Heidelberg, Held
lbere, Germany; Eclectic college Of
Philadelphia, each have o represen-
tative among the members Ut our stan

standing.
