MAN is NOT MONARCH.
His Senses Are Less Acute Than Are
Those of Animals.

Those of Animals.
Mans vaunted faculties are far less
acute than some of the lesser crea-
lures.
The human eye is 4 wonderful piece
of mechanism, with its little bundle of
nerves that in some mysterious way
make INSTALLATION possible. Yet this
eye, with all its delicacy of discern
ment, is but Il circumscribed organ as
compared with the eye Of the eagle,
which sees infinitely farther than can
any human eye. The same is true of
the human ear. The rats and the mice
that haunt our houses, the squirrels
that caper about the woods and the
numberless other little animals all
hear better than we do. They may not
trace refinement in sound as accurate
ly as can man, but for catching sound
Mt long range theirs are the ears most
perfectly constructed.
The sense of touch is more accurate
ly developed elsewhere in the animal
kingdom than in man. No man made
device for measuring water pressure
equals that of the fish, whose sides all
strung with nerves register the water
pressure correctly every time and in
form his fishship just how much he
can stand and when to move up or
down.
A dogs sense of smell is always re-
speeted by man, who frequently, as in
the case of hunter, relies on it to sup
plement the findings of his own less
active olfactory nerve.
When it comes to the human voice,
there are birds with whose music
mans music cannot be compared. Not
Patti herself ever sang more sweetly
than the meadow lark at break of day.

THE THOUSANDS we have cured
during our eight years in Davenport
must prove to you that our cures are
permanent.
There are few doctors that have the
ability to cure chronic diseases. You
must remember that over 90 self
called specialists have located during
the past few years in the tri-cities and
have made extravaganza claims to cure
chronic diseases, and they all have
left behind them broken promises and
failures. Therefore, if YOU want to
insure yourself against loss Of money
and obtain health, consult DR.. Walsh.

proven a success when others have
failed. Remember it pays to consult
the best first.
