WILL SEND $s.5O FREE.
Franklin Miles, n. D., Ii. B., the
Celebrated Chicago Specialist,
Will Send $3.50 Worth Of
His New Special Treat
ment Free to Each Of
Our Readers.

When an experienced physician
offers to give away $4,000 worth Of a
new treatment for diseases OF the
neart, nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is
conclusive evidence that he has great
faith In 1t. And when hundreds of
prominent men and women freely
testify to his unusual skill and the
superiority OF his new special treat
ment his liberality is certainly worthy
OF serious consideration.
That DIR. Miles is one of the worlds
most successful physicians in treating
these diseases, is proven by hundreds
OF testimonials One patient cured
after failure OF eleven Grand RAPIDS
physicians, two after being given up
by six and seven Chicago physicians.
another after nine Of the leading doc
tors in New York City, Philadelphia
and Chicago failed. Thousands OF
testimonials sent upon request.
The eminent Rev. w. Bell, ID. d..
of Dayton, Ohio, General Secretary OF
Foreign Missions, writes editorlally In
the State Sunday School Union: 1--WE
desire TO state that from personal &C.
quaintance we know DR.. Miles to be a
most skillful specialists man who has
spared neither labor MOI money to
keep himself abreast Of the great ad-
vancement of medical Science.n
The late Prof J. s. Jewell, NJ. d.,
editor of Journal Of Nervous and Mem
tai Diseases, Chicago said: NBy all
means publish your surprising re-
ults.n Rev. j. w. StOkesbury, OF
tairport, Mo-, had head, heart and
stomach troubles, and nervous pros
tration. Three physicians failed TO
help him. He writes: 81 regard my
self cured.n Mr.. G. Buck, Of Webb
City, Mo-, wrote a friend, "Dr. Miles
treated me for mind trouble, unnatu-
raj fears and great nervousness. He
cured me nine years ago. Mr.. Geo.
Woodhouse, Of Flat Creek, Mo-, re-
ports: "My son was SO bad, he was
helpless. Other physicians could not
help him, but DR.. Miles brought him
on all right
This new system of special treat
ment is thoroughly scientific and i'm
mensely superior to the ordinary
methods.
As all afflicted readers may have
$3.50 worth of treatment especially
prepared for their case, free, we would
advise them to send at once. Adj
dress DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, 201 to
200 State St., Chicago. Please mention

a COMMON ERROR.
The Same Mistake is Made by Many
Mexico People.

It's a common error
To plaster the aching back,
To rub with liniment rheumatic
joints
When the trouble comes from the
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills,
And are endorsed by Mexico citizens.
Mr.. Frank Wheeler, engineer, living
at 90s East Liberty street, says: "We
have used Doan's Kidney Pills in our
family and found them an excellent
remedy. From the results obtained
/ would not have the slightest heslta-
tion in advlsingany one suffering from
any form of kidney complaint to go TO
Buckner & Whitney's drug store and
take a course of the treatment. | am
only too pleased to add my name to the
many endorsers OF Deans Kidney
Pills"
For sale by all dealers; price so cents.

Remember the name-Doan's-and

RUSH I ITESM

correspondence OF the Ledger
RUSH HILL, Nov. 5.-What wonder
rul things happen every day. En-
pires are destroyed in a day and the
chickens are stolen at night. Minis
ters of the gospel preach Christ and
Him crucited to dying sinners for a
week and then ruin the peace and
happiness of a family before they
leave, Men will talk temperance for
years with all the eloquence of a
Cicero and denounce enteringa saloon
as the stepping stone to an eternal
hell, then I'LL up on rotten whiskey
and ill a drunkard'sgrave.
This is a fast age. We are being
whirled through life as by electricity.
A boy may dump some mans buggy
into a ditch just for fun on the night
of halloween and the next time the
%momentous evening rolls around he
wakes up the next morning to find his
best bird dog with a chain around his
neck tied on the roof of a three story
building. Such is life.
A preacher is now holding forth
here at the Christian Church every
night. He announces his subject two
or three days ahead. His subject for
last Sunday evening was, give Devils
of Rush Hill.r His subject Monday
evening is the difference between
"Religion and Christianity" His
subject Wednesday evening will be,
"Nancy Hanks"
The all absorbing, soul-inspiring,
.God-giyen religion that u old grand
mothers enjoyed is no longer preached,
no more enjoyed, but a modern reli-
gion is concocted and preached. A re-
ligion that prompts a man or a woman
when they see a poor unfortunate beg
gar, to gather their rich and costly
clothing around them and move to the
other side of the street for fear they
may be prompted to open their kind
and loving heart and spare the un-
fortunate one a niekle.
