Chronic Diseases Row Durable.
The most successful and scientific treatment
known to medical science.

There are thousands of people today who are
suffering from some obscure or chronic disease
and who have long sought in vain for cure.
They have treated with first one physician then
another. have tried all the patent nostrums and
sure cures advertised that seemed to offer re-
lief. and doubtless many have been misled by
ignorant and incompetent men calling them.
selves specialists who. have had neither the
necessary training or experience and are wholly
unified by nature to treat the sick. AS the re-
suit OF all this they have become discouraged,
lost faith in all doctors. and consider medical
science failure.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1903-05-22
To All Such There is Still Hope,

for o large percentage OF chronic diseases under
recent medical discoveries are found to be cur
able, and by the latest approved instruments
and methods, DR.. Walker is enabled to discover
the true nature of the disease, and locate the
organ or parts affected, and many diseases and
complications which have hitherto resisted
other methods. yield readily under his skill ana
systemic treatment The Doctors investiga-
lions have not been confined to this country
alone, but also in the leading hospitals OF Eu-
rope. therefore his judgment may be relied up
on in All such cases.

This was too much for Mr.. Bowser.
He simply stood still and gasped for
breath and failed to get out a word.
The caller looked at him and smiled
softly and encouragingly and after a
minute went on:
"If you cannot answer that question
let us try another, as We have still sew
eral hours before us. Upon q certain
occasion the doctor ordered you to take
boxing lessons in order to strengthen
your spinal column. Your backbone
had got warped over astarboard. and
the idea was to plumb it up and down
again. You got a heavyweight to put
on the gloves with you, and after max
ing a few flourishes to show off you

blamed head off. You wanted to do
something to make a record. Unfortu-
nately for you he was a man who
couldn't appreciate a joke, and he
blocked your blow and landed on your
chin in return.
Let me ask what your sensations
were when you went down and Jared
the house from roof to cellar? 1t is on
record that you slept for a quarter of
an hour. What dreams came to you, if
any? 1t has been asserted that under
such circumstances one dreams of pas
toral scenes-green meadows, sloping
hills, shady dells and running brooks.
Was it so in your case? And about
your spinal column. Is it still out of
plumb or did that punch
stop, SIR reared Mr.. Bowser at
last.

I'll take no more of your insults, sir.
You cant get out Of this house too soon
to please me. The idea. sir-the idea"
DO you mean that this interview is
ended:"
"Certainly. Get out at once while
a restrain myself"
perhaps you would rather I should
call at the Office? If So
NO, sir: no. sir. You need never
come nea me again.
NO? Too bad that the world should
be the loser. but we must make the
best of it. | Will not pause to inquire

minute he made a compromise between
the two and asked just what was want

Il wish to ask you, with all due con-

PerpetratOE' of the Crime Bound
Over to Court Under $500 Bond.

b. F. Britain, a white man, was
given a preliminary trial yesterday

wife and ultimately threw her out of
the house. In the presence of sew
eral witnesses Britain peat his wife
with n heavy pine board and after
the woman had fallen to the ground
he kicked her u number of times.
The woman was in court yesterday
and presented Il pitiable condition.
Her face was bruised and swollen,
both eyes being nearly closed, and
she appeared to be suffering great
pain. a handfu of hair was ex-
hibited in court which, it was alleged,
Britain had pulled out of his wife's
head.
Britain did not escape without in
jury. In the fight the woman man
aged to get hold of her husbands
lower lip with her teeth and bit a
portion of the lip off.
After hearing the evidence Squire
Borneman bound Britain over to

mortal Hospital. Mrs. Britain was
