Specialist, d National Reputation
In the treatment of
Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat, Catarrh
and Nervous Diseases

Their examinations and treatments
are similar to those given in the for
eign and eastern hospitals where
thousands OF patients are seen every
month and where they learned their
profession.
Chronic diseases require searching
diagnosis, and no matter what the
cause may be, their long, varied and
eminently successful career as special
lists In this field enables them to more
thoroughly treat chronic ailments
than those whose knowledge is not
the result of actual experience and
scientific study. The German-Amer-
lean Doctors offer no catch-penny in
ducements, but rely on the peoples
intelligence. What is worth having is
worth paying for, and something can
not be had for nothing.
The German American Doctors
have cured thousands. They treat
catarrh, stomach and liver diseases,
blood and skin diseases, diseases of
heart, lungs and kidneys, nervous
diseases, diseases Of women, diseases
of men, cancers, tumors, surgical oper-
ations when needed, lack of develop
ment, small, weak parts OF the body
enlarged and strengthened. Deform-
tiles corrected. Ladies suffering from

The number of attendants enrolled
at the st. Croix county teachers insti-
tute ia session at Hammond is 129.
Among that number there are not a
dozen men. At first thought this
absence OF men would seem to imply
a want OF interest on the part of men
teachers. On further consideration
it will be found that the number OF
men present as compared with women
is not out Of proportion to the num-
Der of the sexes employed as teachers
in the county Women have monopo-
lized the country schools and the low
er grades of the city schools and are In

ued drouth have materially changed
the situation. The temperature has
been reduced to a normal and more
comfortable state. The damage has
been immense through the corn belt,
but it is now estimated that, taking
the country through, something
over half the amount Of last years
crop will be made. The winter wheat
crop was good. Spring wheat is a

resulting from the heat were numer-
