MAY HEAL AT WILL,

Nothing in Minnesota Law to Prevent
Practice of Christian Science.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. %. According to
the ruling of Judge Elliott the practice
of so-called Christian Science healing
does not come under the general statute
regulating the practice of medicine in
this state. This view was given public
expression in an oral decision allowing
the demurrer to the indictments in the
cases of the state against Albert P.
Meyers and Mary Brookings, who were
charged with practicing medicine with
out license. The Indictment was
based on charge of malpractice made
in connection with the treatment and
subsequent death of a child in the
Kearns family in North Minneapolis,
suffering from diphtheria.

Dunn's Leading Pharmacists--Onl
Book Store in Town.
In writing a descriptive review of the
leading business houses of the hustling
and thriving town of Dunn we wish to
accord most prominent place to the
above well known business house, which
has been built up by the enterprise,
courteous and fair treatment of its
young proprietors, Messrs. Hood 4
Grantham There is no house in Dunn
which exemplifies more the Importance
and prosperity of the place than this
drug establishment, for in it is read the
marked prosperity that is today fea-
ture of trade at that point.
The business was established by the
present firm in 1891, and now covers
the territory of Harnet Sampson, Cum
berland and Johnston counties. A full
line of drugs. sundries, seeds, school
supplies, school books and stationery are
carried. Special attention is paid to
physicians supplies, of which large
and complete line is always kept on
hand. A well organized mail department
is sustained for the special benefit of Gus
toners who find it mere convenient to
order what they wish by mail rather
than going to town for it. These mail
orders receive careful and prompt atten-
ton, and customers may depend upon
getting the purest and best of every
thing and at the lowest prices.
A large line of special preparations
are manufactured BY the proprietors.
Both Messrs. Hood and Grantham were
horn and reared in Smithiield john
ston county, and educated at burlington
Academy. They are both experienced
druggists and registered pharmacists,
and have risen to their present by their
own unaided efforts. Their handsome
store is headquarters in town not only
for drugs, but for social intercourse
Both members of the firm are interested
in the Planters and Star warehouses.
