The Treatment n Godsend.

Drs. Thornton & Minor, Kansas City, Mo-
Gentlemen-Since my treatment at your
hands l have been like a new man. My
condition at the time Of treatment was such
that blood poisoning would surely have
ended my case in thirty days time. l
fully appreciate your kindness to me in
my extremely nervous and exhausted con-
dition. While my muscles have been sore
at times l attribute it to not needing your
advice in caring for myself, as started out
on my long, hard drives few days after
leaving your office and have kept them up
ever since. 1 never neglect to tell persons
suffering from rectal troubles of you, as
consider it a godsend to such persons to
know Of your skill and responsibility
for ten ten Years. Today ! owe my life to
Drs. Thornton & Minor. Yours ever kindly

suffered for period of fifteen years.
After being cured and paying for treat
ment he felt that he had not in anywise
returned value received for the resulting
relief and benefit. There is left as he
states it, "a debt of gratitude" he can
never pay.
Note, also, his statement that he had
previously consulted many specialists, but
feared to take the risk of the operation
Now note his further statement that dur
ing our treatment of him, he ate and slept
regularly and was able to visit parks, etc,
with comfort.
An advertisement similar to the one on
this page, in a Kansas City paper, first at
tracted him and caused him to write for
one of our pamphlets, and after receiving
1t, he wrote to three of our former pa
tients, who recommended us and our mode
of treatment
AS a result he came over 1000 miles to
be examined, and either killed or cured"
We cured him and he is now at home

Once upon a time, relates the Detroit
Journal, there was a Boy who had implicit
confidence in his Father, The Boy believed
everything his Father told him.
In the course OF human events the Father
had occasion to beat the Boy with a barrel
staye,
1T hurts me more than it hurts you!"
protested the Father.
And the Boy believed his Father, and
therefore. far from suffering any discomfort
he enjoyed the beating very much.
This fable teaches that boys should always
have confidence in their fathers.

Odom ''in a pocket or crush him against
the rail-anything to prevent him from win
ming. But this lad is not to be intimdated
and will take any chance. Thousands Of
persons all over the country are betting on
his horse, oftentimes only because Odom is
the rider.
The instructions are to take the rail- at
all hazards, and this is one Of the most dan
gerous feats in turf riding. 1t means that
with horses tearing along like mad all about
him, and purposely blocking him off, that he
may not get the most advantageous position,
the jockey must guide his horse to the rail,
and, if necessary force him in between the
rail and another mount whereupon he is
hurled against the staunch wooden fence
with such force that one can almost hear his
bones crunching. After taking the rail- a
boy will often be practically parayzed for
days and the whole side OF his body dis
colored.
George Odom is one Of the few jockeys
who will take the rail, and the betting world
know this. Moreover, he weighs but eighty
seven pounds and keeps in splendid training
Like the other boys, he must go to bed at s
O'Clock every evening, attend church on Sun
days use no tobacco or alcoholic stimulants
and continually take long walks in heavy
clothes in order to keep down his flesh, He
spends his evenings quietly reading some
good novel or history and is a modest un-
assuming little fellow whom association with
the racing track has not contaminated. He
is a Georgia boy by birth and has all the
pleasant little courtesies and manners OF the
south.
