There are few people WHO can
claim to have heard their own funeral
sermon. Rev. e. II. Johnson, Of Null
borry, Indiana, once passed through
this unique experience. While suffer
Ing from an attack OF catalepsy Mr..
Johnson was declared dead, and as he
was lying In his coffin he heard his fun
eral sermon preached by brother
minister. He was conscious OF what
was taking place about him, heard
the physician pronounce him doad,
and witnessed the preparations made
for his burial. The spell was broken
just after the eulogy had been pro-
nounced and his restoration to health
followed.

IS STOP THEFT"

It is an old trick among the light
fingered fraternity to divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry of
stop thief" and SO putting the public
on false scent.
There is a certain kind Of advertiser
who is expert in similar methods. One
Of his tricks is TO tell women that it's
"revolting" to write to a man i'll con-
sultation about disease, Women
should write to n woman" The reinaih-
der Of the advertisement invites women
to write for advice, and is carefully
| worded to convey the idea that the adj
vice offered is that of physician. But
! a close examination shows that there is
no physician's advice offered and the
whole clamor Of "write to q woman"
Is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice is not
doctor, and therefore not competent to
give medical advice
! For the advice OF an unqualified
woman Is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.
Women who are sick can obtain nedi
cal advice free by letter, by consulting DIR.
K. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician
OF the lnralids' Hotel and Surgical III
stitutc, buitalo, N. Y. As All expert in
the treatment and cure of female dis.
eases DIR. Pierce takes the highest rank.
In over thirty years experience he has
treated half-a-million women and of that
