lasting. These laws rule alike the
heavenly spheres and the actions and
lives of those living on those spheres
Man is particularly susceptible to in
fractions of those laws and the usu-
al result is disease or injury or death.
1t is a law if you overeat that you
will suffer. 1t is a law that if you
fall down in front of a moving train
you will suffer. And all of the dis
eases that afflict mankind come from
the conscious or unconscious infrac-
ton of some one of the laws that
govern the universe. These diseases
may be hereditary or acquired. They
may be the result of law breaking
by home ancestor in the remote past.
For the ''Sins of the Father Are Wis
tied Upon the Children even unto the
Third and Fourth Generation" But
if nature provides penalty for the
infraction of the least of her laws
she has also provided remedy. For
years L have made a careful study of
disease, its cause and effect. And 1
have made a wonderful discovery.
L have discovered that natures
remedy for very large number of
diseases is electricity. 1 use my
electrodes upon the nerve centers of
the human system and nature does
the rest. If you are suffering from
any Female Weakness, have a tumor,
cancer or goitre, victim of kidney
or liver troubles, consumption, loss
of energy, constipation-a myriad of
diseases, come and see me. Consul
tatiOn is free, and L can tell you
whether or not 1 can be of assistance
to you, or whether your disease is in
too advanced stage for any assist
ance whatever. Do not delay. My
method of treatment is perfectly ra-
tional and relief is almost instantan-
eous.
1 guarantee a cure in all durable
cases and cure hundreds that others
consider incurable.

Albert T.. Walker, son of the late j.
r. Walker, died at o'clock this morn
ing, from abdominal hemorrhage con-
sequent upon an unusually severe case
of appendicitis. Death was the more
distressing because until yesterday, the
prospects were considered excellent Tor
his recovery, and the members OF his
family who had been watching con-
stantly by his bedside had gone away
feeling sure that the point of danger
had passed.
The unfortunate young man was al
the Walker farm on the 4th inst, when
he was seized with pains that clearly
indicated appendicitis, He was removed
as soon as possible to the Holy Cross
hospital In this city, and medical at
tention given at once to his case. II
was found that most unusual compli-
cation OF conditions existed. IL seems
that the patient had suffered from sew
eral attacks OF inciplent appendicitis
previously, and from these there had

like formations In the vermlform appen-
dix. The latter organ was found In a
gangrenous condition and through
whose disintegrated walls. the stones
had forced their way into the peritoneal
cavity. 'The action had resulted In in
fiammation and the formation In and
around the appendix Of a sack Of pus.
The necessary operation was quickly
and successfully performed, and the pa
tient showed every indication Of recov-
cry. But yesterday morning. after he
had eaten good breakfast, he was
seized with severe pains above
the pubic cavity, and which in
creased with intensity. Towards
evening, II was diagnosed by
the physicians that an intestinal
lesion had occurred followed by
hemorrhage and as the gravity Of the
situation became evident. an effort was
made to bring the family together but
