The phenomena of power is start
ling only because it is rare; superna-
tural only to the extent of tIie unusu-
al. The marvel of these cures, which
have brought into vivid relief the
great N-Ray doctors gift of healing,
involves no mystery.
There is no mystery in the charm
of the singer, who adds to the rare
gift of music tie training of years in
the Conservatives and cnthralls

matchless means which the master
physician has brought to the aid of
science; that the attention of the
whole civilized world is now drawn to
the unceasing wonder of results, in
wolves no mystery.
To the rare gift of healing has been
added the rarest opportunities and
training, and the cures of the great "
Ray doctors are but the natural tri-
umphs of their lives.
DIR. Horne wishes to emphasize the
fact that during the summer months
chronic diseases of whatever nature
are cured in one-half the time that
would be required during the inclcm-
ent winter weather. Nature lends her
aid to the physician and cures are
accomplished at this season of the
year in a comparatively short time.
| DRHORNE CURING THE SICK.
Each week, standing boldly out
| from amidst the failures of others,
DR.. Horne publishes the names and
addresses of people cured, people well
known in the community, people
whose standing forbids the thought
of their lending their names to any
but an honest statement. The people
ask themselves, what does this mean,
and the answer impresses itself up
on them with force that compels
conviction. Nothing but merit and
real conscientious work could pro-
duce such results and make such a
| record as this.
FREE X-RAY EXAMINATION
DR.. Horne never accepts case
unless he knows to a certainty the
cause of the trouble, and this can only
be determined by a scientific eXamin-
alton. His X-Ray outfit is the most
elaborate and complete in this coun-
| try. By his special microscopic at
tachment he is able to examine all
parts of the body and find out to an
absolute certainty the cause of the
patients affliction. Come and be cx-
amined; it is absolutely free. He will
not charge you one cent. Come and
find out what your trouble is and he
will advise you in reference to a cure.
1t is all free. He asks no compensa-
ton.

the South Moline highway commits
sioners were met, to take mp the mat
ter of the city donating portion of
the ground owned by the municipal
