The limit is reached. The Great
Quaker Physician Is compelled to with
draw his famous $40 offer. The crowds
of people applying at his offices during
the past few weeks have been so great
as to compel the necessity of it's with
drawal. Doctor Byers would like to
extend indefinitely this liberal offer, but
the facilities of his Office will not ad-
init of it. However, he wishes to give
all an opportunity to be cured and test
for themselves the superiority of his
treat tment, and he will agree to treat all
persons applying at his office on or be-
lore October 81 on the following terms:
Doctor Byers will agree to treat all
persons applying at his office before
November 1st for the nominal sum of
$40 until cured, medicine included.
Ihis does not mean $40 month, but
$lo for complete and radical cure.
He furthermore agrees that if the
patient is not entirely cured in
specified length Of time, to return the
money paid without quibbling or
evasion. 1t has always been the
principle of his life never to keep a
fee unless the patient is cured.
He wishes, however, to emphasize
the fact that this offer positively ex-
pires on the 31st day of this month
and will not be extended under any
circumstances. If you wish to be
cured at nominal price, under a
positive guarantee to refund the
money ifthe cure is not accomplished.
1t IS important for you to call at
once. 1t is advisable to call as early
as possible and avoid the rush that
will naturally occur during the clos
ing days of this offer.

AN INTERESTING LECTURE.
Ernest F.. Rhoden Talked to the En-
gineers' Club Last Night.

Ernest T.. Rhodcn, formerly II licutrn-
ant in the British navy. but now the
head of the school of navigation of the
international Correspondence schools,
delivered most interesting lecture last
night before the Scranton Engineers
club on "Thc Declination of the Mag
ne;lc Needle"
Mr. lthoden traced the history of the
compass back 2oJ0 B. c., and MAIN
tanned that there is very good reason
to believe that il was then used by the
Chinese. He traced the history of the
compass down to the time of Columbus,
whom, he said, was probably the first
discoveror of the declination of the
needle, observing that it varied from
day to day as he came westward. The
lecturer explained the variations of the
declination and showed the line of no
variation on II large chart obtained
from the United States government.
