The appeal of the society for assis-

Spouse, in the way of merchandise as
we'll as cash donations. The society
is planning to retire the outstanding
bonds and also a part of the mort
gage indebtedness on the property,
and then begin the erection of hall.
An auditorium such as the society is
planning is greatly needed in the city,
as the only hall now available for con-
ventions, political rallies and public
meeting of every description is the
Illinois theatre. The society, besides
the lot now occupied by the handsome
brick structure erected some years
ago for the purpose of the manager.
owns frontage of As feet, and eX-
tending back to the alley. At the rear
end of the lot is the brick gymnasium
building, while in the front is the old
wooden structure now used for hall.
The plan of the society is to build
a hall covering the entire frontage
and extending back to the gymnasi-
UNI, giving them a hall capable of
seating 1000 to 1.400 people.

sary to effect certain cures in the
worst cases of Physical Weakness $,
VaricoceIe, Impotency, Nervous De-
biIity, Etc, caused by youthful errors,
night losses, general dissipation i'm
proper treatment and neglect.
The doctor will forfeit $500 where
cure is guaranteed not effected.
KIDNEY AND BLADDER diseases treat
ed by new and eminently successful
methods.
CATARRH in all its various forms;
positive, prompt and permanent cures
always effected.
NERVOUS DISEASES, Apilyeps and
diseases of the blood and skin al ways
yield to the doctors modern methods of
treatment,
PILES cured permanently without de-
tention from business and without the
use of the knife.
LUNG TROUBLES receive careful at
tention and are always treated success
fully, when not too long delayed.
DELAY IS DANGEROUS-Thos who
are chronically ailing should lose no time
in consulting special physician whose
reputation for skill is 40 well and wide
