AS Mr.. Newcomb's principal grievance

Mr.. Newcomb dilates at some length
upon his alleged discovery that his wife
used artificial means of adding to her

lips would be smeared with offensive
paint, nauseous, distasteful and abhorrent

a bath troubles Mr.. Newcomb, for he re-
marks that This fathers house was sup
Piled with convenient bathrooms, which,
plaintiff solemnly swears. he never knew
her to avail herself Of Plaintiff will give
her the benefit of the doubt that she may
have bathcd in the day without his knowl-

failed to establish this satisfactorily to
the mind of the plaintiff
Mrs. Newcombe denies all of these alle-
cations, and charges him with cruelty and

THE PITISBURG BLOCKADE
President Cassatt of the Pennsylva-
mia System Goes There to
Break It.
Nefc Fork SUI, Special Serrtes

Philadelphia, Nov. 1S.-President A. ].
Cassatt Of the Pennsylvania railroad has
taken up personally the great blockade Of
freight at Pittsburg which has assumed
such proportions as to endanger, it is said,
the industrial prosperity Of the city. Mr..
Cassatt, Second Vice President Pugh,
Third Vice President Provost and Chief
Engineer Brown all started for the scene
to-day in private cars. They stopped at
Altoona to look over the freight yards
there and to see what progress had been
made with some new freight engines
which are badly needed. This morning
they will reach Pittsburg, look into the
trouble and devise means Of breaking the
blockade. That Mr.. Cassatt should give
this matter his personal attention shows
the seriousness of the blockade and it
also insures remedy; The Pennsylvania
is now spending a great amount Of money
at Pittsburg for improvements designed
to reduce to a minimum the likelihood
of such a blockade as now exists.
Pennsylvania freight officials are
confident that the blockade will be soon
ended.

ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY

Hudson, Wis, Nov. 1S.-Mrs. Erma
Dickinson. of Minneapolis, came to the
Bone Setter with a dis!ocated hip and
ankle Both hip and ankle were instantly
set by him with his bare hands, without
giving the least pain with either operation.
No knife was used, nor brace, stay or
plaster cast. The patient returned home
walking ma turally, with perfect ease and
comfort. a cripple no more.
HISTORY OF THE CASE.
When Mrs. Dickinson was about four
years old, she met with an accident that
rendered her a cripple, until she came to
see the BoneSetter. An examination by
the Bone Setter revealed the fact that her
ankle and hip were dislocated. Mrs. Dick
inson's address is no East 14th street,
Drexel Flats.
A TALK WITH THE RONE-SETTER.
What is your method Of operating, doc
tor?',
Hand manipula tion exclusively; do
not use the knife, in any case; nor do l use
electricity give any medicine
do you chlorCform your patients?'
Il do not in any case. The patient sits
or lays upon the operating chair and sees
me do the work. = =
'Then how do you avoid the element Of
paln?'
by manipulating the parts always in
the right direction.
do you use the plaster cast in fractures
and disloca tions?"
NO sir, I never use plaster cast in
any case. A plaster cast stays where it
is put, for months, usually, wherever it is
used. Plaster paris is powerful alb
sorbent. Every one knows this. The
part where a plaster cast is applied is
therefore subjected to an absorbing pro-
cess from the time the cast is put on I'M
til it is removed. The life and Vitality of
the part treated is enervated and de-
pleted and in many cases the limb or part
is atrophied by this absorbing process.
and when the cast is removed the limb is
emaciated, and it seldom if ever is as
large or strong as the other limb The
treatment by plaster cast is as bad or
worse than the former crippled condition."
your method Of treatment differs very
materially from that of Professor LOrenz
of Vienna, who recently operated in Chi
cago upon Mr. Armour's little girl, doesn't
it?" ~ ,<'' ~0''''
Yes. sir; his method is old ortho-
pedic surgery, and mine is new. am
satisfied from what 1 have read of Pro-
fessor Lorenz's work. that the
LORENZ METHOD is A FAILURE.
1.-The plaster cast treatment has always
been a failure. It can't. be otherwise
When the plaster. cast is on. you don't
know whether the position of the bones
are correct or not and even if they are
you have that absorbing process to con-
tend with. Thousands and thousands of
cripples who could have been easily cured.
have been placed beyond all human help
by being put in a plaster cast for sew
eral consecutive months. This is -.
AN AGE OF RESULTS, l.,
No matter what the treat ment, the de-
sired results are what are wanted. NV
cured patients are. all over this north
west, and many in the: twin cities, at
once remove every shadow Of doubt as to
the superiority of my method Of treatm ent
over any other system in this country
or Europe. It gives the desired results
without pain. knife, chloroform, plaster
cast, stay, brace or other mechanical ap-
pliance, and that is what is wanted"

pressor," romance, dealing with social
istic and trust problems, was Withdrawn
from the market to-day by Rand, Nc
Nally & Co., the publishers, less than two
hours after it was placed on sale.
The real purpose of calling in the pub
lication, it is stated on good authority,
is to expurgate some Of the parts in re-
gard to trusts, which are deemed objec-
tionable by the publishers, and to tone
down the socialistic features.
"Eshek, the Oppressor" is the second
book by daughters Of O. W. Potter to be
taken off the market. "a Social Lion -

after its publication several years agoa
James Mentally, head of the fiction de-
partnent Of Rand, McNally & Co.. who
had charge of the publication of "Eshek,
the Oppressor,' would not discuss the
withdrawal of the book in respect to the
trust and socialistic features to any ex-
tent. He stated for the firm that the
novel is taken off the market to make
typographical corrections.
