There are Nine British Doctors
And All Who Call at the British Medical
Institute, 623 Third Avenue Prior to
Nov. goth, Will have Their Cases
Studied by Several of Them
without Charge and With
out Money.

A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical
Institute have at the earnest solicita-
ton of a large number of patients un-
der their treatment in this country,
established a permanent branch of
the Institutein this city at 1923 Third
Ave.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who call upon
them for treatment between now and
No. 20. These services consist not
only of consultation, examination and
advice, but also of all minor surgical
operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and afflicted,
and under no condition whatever viii
any charge be made for any services
rendered for three months to all who
call before Nov. 20.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee
a cure in every case they undertake.
At the first interview a thorough ex-
animation is made, and if incurable,
you are frankly and kindly told so;
also advised against spending your
money for useless treatment.
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness. cancer, with
out pain or cutting, rupture, all skin
diseases, and all diseases of the rec
tum are positively cured by their new
treatment.
DR.. I. o. Felts, the chief consult
ing surgeon of the institute, assisted
by one or more of his staff associates,
is in personal charge.
Office hours from a. m. till p.
m. No Sunday hours.
Special Notice-f you cannot call,
send stamp for question blank for
home treatment.

Walter Wellman, writing from New
York to the Chicago Times-Herald on
the assurances that Bryan has re-
ceiyed from his managers in the east
that his election is certain, and en-
Tdeavoring to show that the following
of the great democratic leader will
again prove in this campaign as it
did four years ago. in the minor
|ity. says nevertheless great
many things that go to show
how the tide has turned in the
east since the last campaign. Mr..
Wellman alludes to these influences
as 'undercurrent, 1.-The awakening
etc. OF Bryan him self, Mr.. WeIlman
has this, among other things, to say:
TO what extent Mr.. Bryan him self
is impressed by the remarks of his
managers it is impossible to say. MIR.
Bryan is no amateur in politics. He
is not easily fooled. Much as he loves
the acclaim of the crowds, he has
learned in the school of bitter expert
ence that it takes something more
than speeches and noise. to win an
election. Today Mr. Bryan was smil-
ing and happy, as he always is, but
when talked with him l could not
induce him to express frankly his
views as to the outcome of the cleo
ton. 1 did gather that he has made
| it rule not to make predictions
Yesterday he severely scolded one of
his newspaper friends who had put
into his mouth a claim that he was
going to carry New Jersey. Mr..

claim. He does not know whether
he is going to carry New Jersey or
not, or any other state. He sedu-
lousy keeps his mind away from such
things. All his energies are concen-
trated upon his own allotted task,
which is driving straight ahead like a
cavalry leader ahead of his column.
1t may mean victory; it may mean
crushing defeat. Which it is to be
Mr.. Bryan does not stop to consider.
He simply dashes on.
cit must be admitted that he is a
splendid cavalryman. His equal was
never seen in this country. Take yes
terday as an example. All day he
was rushing through Connecticut,
making speech every hour CT so.
Reaching town, he shook off the men
who would confer with him, and at
o'clock retired to his room. In three
minutes he was asleep. 1t is the
secret of his wonderful endurance
he can go to sleep whenever he wants
to, whenever there is chance, be it
only for &c minutes between speeches
and the ceilings of crowds. He takes
no troubles to bed with him. He does
not roll on his pillow making possible
or impossible combinations of cleo
toral votes. He drops everything and
simply goes to sleep. 1t is an odd
coincidence that mis- rival in the great
national struggle, President McKin-
ley, can and does the same thing.
Not since the days Immediately pre-
ceding the declaration of war against
Spain has the president spent sleep
less night. a splendid life-saving
q 1ality this in men who have to carry
such burdens as are borne by the
president and the man who wants to
take his place. After his nap yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Bryan attended q

Unless you are interested in the art
of dress. Our many patrons have
been urging us for some months to
open up an establishment where
they could get their garments
made in accordance with the
latest fashions. We have now decided
to do so, therefore if the ladies will
call at our rooms. 1874 Second ave-
nue., on and after Oct. 1 we will be
prepared to serve them. We know there
are few places in this city where gar
ments are made well, but not enough to
supply the increasing demand for
up to date costumes. This is
the season when the thoughtful
lady is preparing her wardrobe for
the winter. II you will call, perhaps
we can be of service to you. Our
motto will be Live and let live. We
will be able to turn out your garments
on short order and will guarantee sat-
isfaction. Call early and you will be
served. Our DIAMOND GARMENT CUT
TER SCHOOL is open six days in the

NOT A HARD PRoPosITION.

A change of 20. 600 votes in the fol-
lowing states would have elected Bry-
an in 1896: Indiana, Kentucky, Cali
fornia, Delaware, Oregon and West
Virginia. The democratic national
committee claims all of these states
with perfect confidence with the ex-
ception of Oregon.
A change of 5 per cent in the '96
vote in Ohio would carry that state
with it's % electoral votes.

.Murat, nor Sheridan, nor any
other cavalry leader ever made a more
gallant charge than the one MIR. Bryan
is making through the enemy's coun-
try in this campaign. He is so admi-
rable from the human point of view,
such a splendid performer and with it
all so sweet of temper and charming
in manner it is pity he can't win.
But he can't, and one of the finest
traits of his character, one of the
strongest of his many strong quail
ties, is this power of his to put be-
hind him all worry as to whether he
is to win or lose. The man who can
do this is indeed master of himself.
"Mr. Bryan, in talking of his cam
paign tour, goes no further than to
say that he is encouraged by the
great mum Der and the enthusiasm of
the people who flock about him. He
keeps his head and does not permit
the acclaim TO lead him into . false
confidence. In this he is unlike most
of his so-called managers. They see
the crowds, listen to the shouts, mark
the enthusiasm aud straightway con-
clude that the victory is theirs. 1t is
net surprising that these political
amateurs are deceived, by the warmth
of the welcome which has been ex-
tended to Mr.. Bryan in the east, for,
except in spots. he has received such
ovations as few men in American
public life have enjoyed.
Without any question Mr.. Bryan
is admired and trusted by a class of
people who four years ago looked upon
him with a sort of cold curiosity.
Then he was an absolutely new figure
in the national field. He had sprung
full-panoplied from the shadows of
comparative obscurity. To many he
was simply the boy orator of the
Platte an upstart, freak, a trans
tory Though brilliant fash. Now he
comes with all the prestige of four
years of leadership. He has worn
well. His is a character and his
methods to which a certain class of
people are attracted as by law of
gravity.
I'm the east MIR. Bryan has a more
ardent following than he had in 1896,
more active following. more earn

and on election day in practically all
of this region is likely to cast nearer
so per cent of the votes than it did in
1896. But it is still a minority, I'M
less all signs fail. unless all organized

gain any consolation from such a
source as the above, taking it all the
