Is the Question That Is Asked
Over and Over Again by
Many Citizens
Regarding Many Amazing Cures
That Are Daily Being Performed
by the Boy Phenomenon
Now at the Buchtel
Hotel.

Hundreds Who Have Witnessed the Start.
ling Transformation Admit the Cure:
Are Made, But Wonder If They
Will Stay Cured - Two Other We'll
Known Citizens Cured of Deafness and
Rheumatism, Who Can Answer That
Question.
The Boy Phenomenon has been in
Akron three weeks, daily proving
and demonstrating the great power
he possesses by which he has cured
hundreds of cases that had def1ed all
other forms of treatment. But there
are still great many who doubt
the permanency of these cures. They
admit the cures were accomplished,
as in many instances they were eye
witnesses to their magical transfor-
nations, but they are afraid they are
not lasting. The doctor has in his
possession over | 400 sworn testi-
mOnials from patients who have
been cured of chronic diseases dur
ing the past few years, and all of
whom with only 27 exceptions have
remained well ever since. Besides
the testimonials already published
i'll the daily papers, he has scores of
others from prominent Akron
citizens, all attesting the wonderful
benefits derived from the hands of
the Boy Phenomenon, thus proving
beyond any possibility of doubt that
his curss are as permanent as they
are marvellous.
Take the case of Geo. Poole, of 4O4
Locust ST.. who had suffered years
with rheumatism, had tried every
thing but got no relief till he was
treated by the Boy Phenomenon,
since which time,he has not had a
pain.
Then there was Sam1 Prentice, of
S0l n. Broadway, who had been
gradually growing deaf 10 years, and
had those awful annoying noises in
the head. Two treatments stopped
the noises entirely, that was three
weeks ago, and now he can hear a
whisper.
While the Boy Phenomenon will
remain in Akron two weeks longer,
no new cases will be taken after this
week, Saturday night, as the follow
ing two weeks will be devoted to
curing those now under treatment.

SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Railroad Cannot Section Men---Al
Have Trouble.

The railroad section hand problem
seems to be generally before the
public at present, for on nearly all
the roads the men are demanding
more wages.
The men on the Erie road are not
conducting a systematic strike, it
seems; they have just quit to accept
better jobs. The Erie pays better
wages to section men than most
railroads. The section men get $l.25
on the Erie, while on some other
roads the men get but $l.l5. The
Erie is not the only road that is hav-
ing trouble in getting section help.
If you think of changing your heat
ing boiler call on Oberlin; get prices
on the Cottage boiler for soft coal.

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, dis
tressedlooking people you so often meet
are afflicted with kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning TO parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaus-
ton and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until almost too late, because the first
symptoms are so like mild sickness that
they do not think they need medicine
Or doctor until they find themselves
sick in bed.

up and Strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased, kid
ney-poisoned blood, Gear their complex
ion and soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the

or you may first prove for yourself the

A GREAT SOCIAL TRUTH.

During his recent visit to this coun
try, Hall Caine, the British writer
kept his eyes wide ope. Some of the
impressions that he has given out since
he returned home have been amusing,
especially his impression of American
journalism; but the Manxman certain
ly studied social expansion here deep
ly. No foreign writer has spoken
truer words than these:
at does not, however, require any
knowledge in economic problems to
see that i'm one important particular
America is master Of the world already.
That amazing country absOrbs all the
races of the earth, and every race that
it absorbs it feeds and strengthens.
These enthusiastic sentences are a
graphic picture of the genius of as
stimulation that dwells in this country.
They tell the story of individual ex-
pansion. In the last fifty years race
after race has lifted itself, as it were,
into American society. The Irish, the
Germans and the Italians are notable
examples of this change, and today
other races, especially the Slav races are
working their way upward toward the
same goal. 1t is such facts as these
that compel the Briton to say, i'll his
conclusion, that "it may be stated as a
sure, though astounding, fact that no
civilized race whatever has yet been
known to decline or diminish Oh Amer
Jean soil )"

A GAIN of S175, 100000 in the value
of live stock Oh farms in a single year is
a matter for congratulations. Yet that
isl just what the American Agriculture
lists special report shows. Every class
of live stock has shared in the i'm.
provement. with the single exception
OF swine, and here the shrinkage is moi
serious, hogs being regarded profitable
property by farmers at large, especial
~ in the heavy corn belt. The depres
sion in the live stock industry, SO pro
nounced few years ago, and at its
worst in 1896, has since that date shown
gratifying change toward complete
recovery. The upward movement con
tinues with increased force and vol

Tendencies of the World.u Such cOun-
tries number 126. They occupy two

exceed their imports, forty per cent
goes to the mother country. The reve-

lures el49,0O0,000. Of the one hun

AMERICAN HORSES POPULAR.

The department of agriculture has
just issued a valuable special report on
the Market for American Horses"
embodying the results of the investi-
gations undertaken soon after Secre-
tary Wilson assumed office. 1t con-
sists very largely of separate reports OF
special investigators in Great Britain,
France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark,
Russia and Italy, describing the types
of horses suitable for army and bust
ness purposes in all these countries, the
general conditions of the horse mar
kets, and giving some practical data as
to prices and shipments. What led to
the movement was the low prices that
prevailed in the American horse mar
ket after 1893, due not only to business
depression, hut to the displacement of
the horse by the trolley car and bicycle.
At the same time, with. the exception
of Hungary and Russia, no European
country was producing horses enough
for its own needs. The thickly-popu-
lated condition of Europe, which pre-
vents tie production of sufficient food
stuffs, also checks the breeding of
horses and at the same time the large
number required for army purposes
gives rise to heavy demand. Under
these circumstances it was not difficult
to gain foothold for our horses, pro-
vided American breeders could be
made acquainted with and would seek
to conform to the tastes and require
ments of each country.
1t was to determine these elements,
and all others bearing on the export of
American horses, that Secretary Will
son commenced his investigations. The
results are very apparent in the re-
markable growth in the number and
value of horses exported. In 1893 only
1857 horses valued at S718,697 were
sold to foreign countries, while in 1898
1897 valued at $6,O1O,773 were sold.
Of this last number about As per cent
went to Great Britain, and practically
none to France, owing to a prejudice
against American horses.
A state so well adapted to the breed
ing Of horses as Washington ought to
get share of this growing foreign
trade, and can if her breeders will
study the requirements and possiblli
ties. Army horses for cavalry Or artil-
lery service, carriage horses and hack
neys, saddle horses. hunters and draft
horses bring excellent prices in Euro
pean markets. That they are high
enough to cover the expense of ship
ping. including two and a halt per
cent loss by death and some deteriora-
ton, is indicated by the energy with
which American shippers have seized
the opportunity open to them. Ii
there were not good margin of profit
the risks involved would hardly be so
cheerfulIy undertaken.
