malignant growths without plasters, oper-
alton or pain. No papers to sign or money
to pay until cured. When possible to cure
plies, rupture, hydrocele, and varicocele
without operation it can be done at the
Sanitarium. Goitre, enlarged prostates and
structures cured without medicine or pain.
Rheumatism, dropsy, sciatica, paralysis,
constipation, general debility, opium and
liquor habits, all diseases of the kidneys,
nerves, lungs and mind are treated with
better success than at home or in ordinary
hospitals. 1t is many times wonderful how
soon relief is obtained after failure by all
other means.f This success depends upon
the use of hydro and electrotherapy, mas
sage, gymnastics, Swedish movements,
X-ray, the methods of Apostoli, Underwood
and the use of hot air, electric light, sin
usoidal and other baths in addition to or
binary medical treatment.

Mr.. Johnston worked seven years over
his Bible manuscript, and not long ago
put the finishing touches upon the unique
book.
one striking thing about the produc-
ton is that the letter text does not vary
from Genesis to Revelation. This work
is done on the post quarto paper. and
looks like the production OF some media

the fact that Mr, Johnston is practical
printer.

as statutary offenses, for which pen
