fairly well. At 6 o'clock this morning the
water works thermometer registered twenty
nine degrees below zero. This is located in
the river bottom. Thermometers in the
city registered twenty-five and tWenty-four
below. Water pipes by the score have burst

The Slocum System Is Needed.
A Curative Medicinal Treatment Founded on

No single remedy will accomplish all
this, but the Four Remedies embodied

has been devoted to p~erfecting this

development of this Treatment, there

fair trial certainly avail themselves OF
all that modern science and skill have
to offer for the cure of Consumption

DR.. Slocum's faith in the efficacy OF

If those Of our readers who reside in
the most highly favored sections of this
country, where the climate is healthy
and inyigorating, with a dry end tonic
atmosphere, will look about them, they
will see a greater OF less number OF
their friends and neighbors dying of
consumption, while many others have
already been carried OF by that dread
malady.
These deaths have occurred from time
to time amid the refreshing prairie
breezes of summer; in the fair and
mellow days of autumn, and also in the
dry and sunny seasons OF a southern
winter.
Such deaths amid such favorable sur
roundings afford positive and convinc-
ing proof that the climate alone will
not cure consumption; that neither
~pine-laden breezes nor bracing noun
tain air will restore weak lungs or
build up a constitution that is being I'M
dermined and broken down by the in
sidious germs of a fatal disease.
But, on the other, hand, many thou
sands of testimonials from grateful peo-
pie all over this country, who have been
cured by the DR.. Slocum System OF
Treatment, and are to-day in the en-
joyment of perfectly restored health
and strength, afford the most convinc-
ing evidence that this treatment aided
by favorable climatic conditions and
surroundings, is a positive cure for
Consumption and all other chronic dis
eases Of the Throat, Chest and Lungs.
Therefore, those who go to the noun
tains, the seashore or to Southern eli
mates, as we'll as those who already re-
side in such favored localities, should
not fail to take the DR.. Slocum Sys-
TEN Of Treatment if they wish to derive
the full benefits of favorable climatic
conditions and scientific medicines.
