PROF. $. n. WELTMER.

Almost every great discovery owes its
origin to the master mind of an American
citizen. The curing of disease, which has
attracted the attention Of more great
minds than any other profession, has at
last been placed into the domain of an
exact science. All diseases can now be
cured without the aid of drugs or the
surgeons knife through a method of Mag
netic Healing originated by that eminent
scientist Prof S A. Weltmer. Of Nevada,
No. Just pause for a moment and grasp
the enormity of this grand discovery.
Think of the thousands of our noble wO-
men who have suffered the tortures and
the agonies of female troubles and who
could get neither relief nor cure from the
medical profession. These great sufferers
can now be cured and brought back into
that health which will permit them to
enjoy life; and then, again, think of the
legion of men who have become weak and
debiIitated through early indiscretions
overwork and dissipation, and who have
taken gallons Of obnoxious drugs with no
cure in sight; they can now look up with
hope in their eyes, for there is a positive
and permanent cure for them in this Cffi-
cacious method of Magnetic Healing
known as Weltmerism The archenemy of
mankind-disease-ha at last found its
master for Wetmerism, in a perfectly
natural manner. goes to the very seat of
the trouble, and it can positively be stated
that this wonderful discovery will cure all
diseases, no matter what the nature or of
how long standing. More than 100. 600 men
and women who have been cured of every
disease known through Weltmerism are
positive evidence that dispeIs further

ter. indeed. losses Of from two to five points
were common.
As noted. these severe losses resulted
wholly from technical speculative condi-
tons and from those prevailing In the
money market. They reflected. in short
the necessities Of spectators having com

those cases that go to Nevada for treat
ment, but through the Method known as
the Absent Treatment it cures at a dis
tance just as readily, The American
School of Magnetic Healing has received
thousands upon thousands of letters from
men and women who have been cured by
this New Science, and who thought it was
their duty to testify the fact of their cure
for the benefit of human beings that are
suffering. We are permitted to publish a
few of these testimonials:

ing Attorney for Monroe county, suffered
for years from Sciatic rheumatism. Tried

fame as the attorney in the celebrated
Jester case. Mrs. c. 4. Graham of Boise
City, Iowa, was afflicted for nine years
with rheumatism; she could not walk with
out crutches or lift her hands to her head;
she paid out SO 600 with doctors before
coming to Nevada. She now proclaims
herself cured and a happy woman, through
WeItmerism Mrs. d. H. Allen. of Au-
Tora Springs Mo. was in a hopeless con-
dition, as she suffered from consumption

Spcb innan,4 liquidation as has occurred

out doubt, helped the conditio.- 'l the Danhs

seem likely to bring money from the in
terror this week But Of even more impor-
tance than either of these matters 1t is
said by insiders that Secretary Gage was
in consultation with the bankers all day
Sunday if not all day yesterday, over the
situation, and that he has promised the aid
of the Treasury Department What form
this aid VIII take cannot be learned. but
one suggestion made in a usually well-in
formed quarter last night was that the

of the bonds needed. Something more than
this viii be necessary, however. IL would

The Presidents message caused the break.
Back of the message was the tight money
spectre, but il cannot be doubted that the
Immediate cause of the tumble all last
week and yesterday was the remarks of
the President on the trust question. 1t
should be remembered, too, that even with
tight money for a few days longer proba-
bly, many conservative spectators Will
consider present prices low in view of the
easier rates certain to come at the begin
ming of the year. 1t should not be expect
ed. perhaps, that a steady advance viii be
made. Such a thing never occurs after a
great break But the outlook for a better
tone and for gradually improving prices
seems good

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-An increase of
goo bushels in the visible, I'D lower
Liverpool cable, and the weak tone of the
New York stock market were the prin-
cipal factors in wheat today, causing ex-
tensive liquidation. The worlds ship

visible increased 720, 900 bushels. Clear
ances were 2S6 600 bushels. The seaboard
reported only ten loads taken for export.
Primary receipts were 100000 bushels less
than last year.
Corn lost 1-4d1-2c, the nearby futures
suffering the most. Round lots also were
less than 100000 bushels. The seaboard
claimed thirty-fve loads. Liverpool opened
fTactionally higher. but closed weak There
was a decrease in the visible of 466 900
bushels. a small decrease in the local
stock, 75 900 bushels, and a large decrease
on passage, almost 10000 bushels.
Clearances were zoo, 600 bushels. The sell
ing was of the most influential sort, in
part by large professionals, who have been
trying of late to make turn on the long
side. Cold weather is coming on the heels
Of the rain.
Oats held up much better on cash de-
mand than for either wheat or corn.
Western offerings continue light, but there
has been fairly good shipping demand
