wolves no mystery.
TO the rare gift of healing has been
added the rarest opportunities and
training. and the cures of the great y
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-haIf the time that
would be required during the inclem-
ent winter weather. Nature lends her
aid to the physician and cures are
accomplished at this season of the
year in comparatively short time.
DR.HORNE 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 a 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
DIR. Horne never accepts case
unless he knows to a certainty the
cause of the trouble, and this can only
be determined by u scientific eXamin-
alton. His N-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

not charge you one cent. Come and

Will advise you in reference to cure.

According to the story told by the
wife, Smith is subject to fits which
come with more or less frequence and
she claims this has deranged his mind.
She stated that she had been unable
to live with him for some time past,
and that they separated about three
months ago. Yesterday morning
Smith was arraigned before Justice
Hall and waived preliminary eXami-
nation. The man was charged with
assault with intent to commit muir
der, and he was therefore bound over
to the grand jury in the sum of 900.
The commissioners did not find suffi-
cient evidence to declare him insane
and he was committed to hospital
for treatment.

were driving n horse hitched TO n

NAL became scared at a passing street
ear in front of the Fair store and took
a maddening dash east on Second

rig collided with the curbing and the
lads were thrown together with the
wagon, which was badly damaged
Fortunately neither of the lads
whose names are George and Eddie
was injured.
