A REMARKABLE GIFT.
5000 Given Away, the Eminent Ply.
sician and Scientist, FRANKLIN MILES,
NJ ID. LII. II Gives Two Dollars and
Half Worth of His Marvellous
New Treatment Free

Now lrehtmeub rEeo.
Such remarkable generosity has sell
dom, If ever, been equaled by physi-
clan. It will enable many thousands Of
people suffering from lingerir g diseases
OF the nerves, brain, heart, liver or
stomach, TO obtain medicine free Of
charge and to test the marvellous cura-
tive properties of DR.. Miles latest Per-
sonal Treatment.
Few physicians will permit every one
Of their patients to test their skill and
their treatment free of charge, because
few have such unlimited confidence in
their remedies born of wonderful sue
cess. What can be fairer and more lib
eral?
Many hundreds of references from
Bishops, Ministers, Business Men, Far
mers and their wives sent free. DR..
Miles New Personal Treatment has
cured many hundreds of cases pro-
nounced "incurable." 1t has a most re-
markable Improvement on the usual
treatment and is eminently scientific.
The eminent divine and editor, Rev.
VIM. w. Bell, of Dayton, Ohio, says
editorially in the Sunday School Union:
I'VE desire to state that from personal
acquaintance, we know DR.. Miles to be
a most skilled specialist, man who
has spared neither labor nor money to
keep himself abreast of the great ad-
vancement in medical science. He Is
withal a thorough and conscientious
gentleman, and his offices are con-
stantly thronged with people who come
from all parts Of the country to avail
themselves of his very great skill"
Mr.. Julius Keister, of $50 Michigan
avenue, Chicago, testifies that Mr..
Miles cured him after ten able physi-
clans had failed. Mr.. II. Held, 70 Cur
tbs street, Grand Rapids, cured after
failure of eleven physicians. Mrs. Liz
zie Renfrew, Wellington, Ark. Mrs. w.
A. Warren, Of jamestown, N. Y, were
entirely cured.

PENNSYLVANlA'S FAT BOY.
Doesn't Eat Much and Takes Exer-
else, but Still He Spreads.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.


Reading. july 2s.-The stoutest boy in
this section of the State. possibly in any
section of the country, is Conrad Urich. the
13-year-oid son of Samuel Urch of Myers
town. Although little more than feet
high. Conrad weighs 10 pounds and con-
tinues putting on flesh to such an extent
and with such rapidty as to seriously
alarm his relatives and friends.
At birth he was of average weight and
size, weighing ten pounds. For some months
he grew most infants grow. and there
was nothing out of the ordinary to note
in his development. After he was years
old. however he began TO increase in weight
at most astonishing rate and when 6
years of age weighed over 100 ponds
Every effort to stop his abnormal growth
proved futile, and Conrad continued to add
on pounds and pounds of flesh, month after
month, year after year. just what causes
his unusual fairness is a mystery. Young
Urich is not, and never was, a great eater.
He has been attending school at Myerstown
for some years and is a bright pupil He
continues to take part in many of the
games played by his schoolmates but his
extraordinary build bars him from foot
ball, baseball and other sports where sprint
ing Is requisite. He is fond of ladies' So
ciety and is an entertaining talker.
