The Last Laugh is the Best Laugh!

A few timid souls, who are tortured
with chronic disease, do not come to
DR.. Stanton to be cured for fear their
FRIENDS may laugh. Are they your
FRIENDS or shallow, ignorant acquaint-
ances who would laugh just as loud
and long when you have died under
other treatment? THEY all have rela-
tives and friends in the cemeteries, why
not laugh at them? Laughter is very
poor argument and is resorted to when
a man or woman Is beaten in every
other way. 1t is the last resort of ig-
norance and prejudice. This same
class of nincompools have laughed at
every advance that has ever been
made so far back as we have any bis
tory; but they will and have found it
difficult to laugh down truth. What
right have they to laugh? Not one in
ten thousand of these laughing idiots
can locate their kidneys or tell you the
difference between 10 grains of quinine
and pound of sugar. They would
mistake static battery and X-ray ma
shine for some kind Of music box.
They are as we'll qualified to instruct
you where and how to treat your dis
ease as they are to navigate the
oceans. If you are one of the poor
fools who dread the laughter of SELL:
sufficient, intellectual misfits, you
have SO little intelligence that DR..
Stanton does not want your case. He
cannot supply you with brains. Just
join the ranks of laughers, 60 to any
cemetery and LAUGH YOURSELF INTO
GOOD HEALTH. DR.. Stanton has been
curing chronic disease by his method
for thirty years, and will continue in
business if he never sees YOUR case,
in spite of the laughers and hide-bound
knockers DR.. Stanton's business
has business has become 80 large that
he has had to get assistance. You will
now find Drs. Hirsh and Stanton at
the Commercial Hotel, Redwood Falls.
| Now listen to Mrs. Bertha Shoemaker
laugh, Such stories as the one below
is what has made DR.. Stanton's enor-
NOUS business. Hirsh and Stanton
have 81 patients on hand besides those
discharged cured No doubt, some of
the contemplate gentry laughed at
Mrs. Shoemaker; but she is doing the
laughing NOW. How do you like the
raw TRUTH in PLAIN English? Have
you laughed? Stanton knows your
calibre, don't he? Don't know much,

GREAT FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.
One Fireman KnledTa and Several Injured
Loss of o 100000.

st. Louis, Feb. 4.-Property to the
estimated value of $1,5OO.OOO was
burned to-day. the greater part of four
blocks of buildings and their contents
between Third and Sixth streets and
Franklin avenue and Morgan street, in
the heart of the retail section, being de-
strOyed.
One fireman was killed. nine other
members of the fire department were
injured more or less seriously, and five
or six citizens slightly hurt. None Of
the injured will die as far as known to-
night.
The fire broke out at o'clock in the
tive-story brick building at Broadway
and Franklin avenue, occupied by the
dry goods firm of Penny X Gentles,
and in few minutes enveloped the en-
tire structure. Sparks and brands were
blown in every direction by strong
northwest wind. and the destruction of
adjoining property was threatened. A
general alarm was turned in and soon
every engine in the city was at the
scene or on the way there.
On the south of Penny X Gentles' the
flames communicated with the build
lngs occupied by Schaper Brothers, dry
goods, and the Famous dry goods store.
1t was not long before the upper
posite Penny X Gentles on Broadway
began to fall. Casualties to tiremen
were numerous. When the walls of
Deere Brothers and 1O-cent store col
lapsed, several members of engine COM
pany No. IL We're in the building. -Four
tiremen We're covered by the debris, and
it was several hours before they could
be taken out.
Charles Mappes. a pipeman, had been
crushed to death and several injured.
John Judge. foreman of No. IL, was
wedged in with debris. Across his feet
lay the body of Mappes. but with a
cool head he directed the efforts of his
comrades in their work of rescue.
When he was finally removed he was
taken to the hospital in an ambulance,
where several others of the injured had
been removed.
From Broadway the flames ate their
way through to number of three and
fOur-Story structures occupied by num-
CrOus firms in various lines of business.
These We're soon on fire from top to
bottom. and We're gutted. Heroic ef-
forts to keep the flames from the build
ing on the corner of Fourth and Frank,
lin avenues. occupied by the German
American bank. We're successful and
this and two buildings adjoining on
the south We're saved.
