BUSINESS and persistent study that pro-
fession assuredly was the practice of
medicine. began its study as young
man nearly two generations ago, and
early in my career saw the importance
CT making a study of Chronic Diseas-
es. While these, at first glance, cover
a wide range of subjects, yet on closer
study it will be seen that they are so
closely allied as to be, in fact, but a
single study.
To this end perfected myself in the
leading medical academies of the Uni
ted States and afterwards in the lead
ing hospitals, as physician in attend
ance, for it is generally admitted that
for young doctor the best experience
is 10 be had in hospitals, where the
work is thoroughly diversified owing
to the wide range of cases that come
there for treatment.
With this college and hospital
knowledge as a basis, I later Journey
ed to Europe and studied in the same
fields abroad for many years. then
came back to my native country and
began the practice of medicine in a
professional way and met with in
Simultaneous success, owing to the fact,
no doubt, that had perfected myself
in a special field. Chronic Diseases.
An assertion that is true should not
be considered a boast, and I believe
that 1 am saying the truth when / as
sert that in two generations of my ex-
perience as a specialist 1 have cured
more men and women and children of
chronic diseases than any other spe-
cialist whose cures are a matter of
public record. I have from time to
time announced the names of people 1
have cured, always with their consent,
but these are. after all. only an infiin-
itesimal number compared to the let
tiers from former patients that have
in my private vaults, stating in their
own words that have cured them.
1t is true there are few unthink-
ing and always prejudiced people who,
to a certain extent, hold it against me
that I permit the newspapers to pub
lish accounts of my success with pa
tents. but these should stop to consid-
err that it takes a man of genuine
ability in his profession to invite peo-
pie day after day to avail themselves
Of his skill, for were he not the skilled

st. Louis, Nov. 2S.-Many OF the
leading military organizations of the
United States will attend the Worlds
Fair at st. Louis in 1904. Already
fifty different organizations have been
assigned dates. and Col. +. C. Culp,
secretary of the Committee on Cere-
mony, is in correspondence with others
1t is thought that every day during
the fair one or more such organizations
will be on the grounds and give drills
and participate in parades.
The exposition management is en-
couraging such gatherings. Commod-
ious quarters in the Western section of
the grounds have been provided. At
first il was designed to furnish tents,
but the plan was changed, and now
most comfortable barracks are to be
provided. The members OF the organ
ization will be required to pay out one
admission into the grounds. After
that they may go and come, as long
as they are in uniform, on a pass is
sued by the commander of their Or
ganization. Quarters in the barracks
will be furnished free. Each man will
be furnished a cot, but he viii be ex-

the men may purchase meal tickets for
25 cents each.
The grand plaza, a tract 300 feet
broad, and 600 feet long, paved with
burnt clay, and as level as a floor
makes an ideal parade ground, and this
will be at the disposal of the organ
izations. The various companies are
arranging for stays of from five to
ten days.

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless DE-
gested-Some Stomachs Must
Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the
condition of the stomach, is not di-
gested, is worse than no food at ALL
This is a true statement as far as it
goes and a great many dyspeptics go
only this far with their reasoning.
They argue with themselves that be-
cause their stomachs do not do the
work given them. they must be given
less work; in other words, they must
be starved.
It would be Just ash sensible for a
business man who is unable to do all
his own work to cut down his business
to his own capacity as ii is for a man
to starve himself to relieve his stom-
ach The sensible business man en-
ploys help and goes forward with his
business. Likewise the sensible dys-
peptic will employ help for his stom-
ach and give his body proper nourish-
ment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
achs of a great portion of digestive
action. Their component parts are
Identical with those of the digestive
fluids and secretions of the stomach,
and they simply take up the grind
and carry on the work just the same
as a good. strong, healthy stomach
would do il.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance
in the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned in what is eaten and carry out
Natures plans for the sustenance and
maintenance Of the body.
How much more sensible is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs BY
this means body and brain get all the
good, nutritious food they need and
the man Is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work and
perform his duties. He could not pos
sibly be in proper working condition
by starving himself or employing
some new tangled, insufficient food
ment for a year-old baby. A strong
man doing strong work must be
properly fed and this applies to the
brain as well as the body.

lieving the stomach of its work. en-

normal health and strength. Nature

Just as she heals and knits the bone
Of a broken limb, which is Of course

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents a
box and they are the one article that
the druggist does not try to sell some
thing in the place Of that's Just as

success and the universal demand for
them has placed them within the
reach Of everyone.

Call if You Can; Otherwise Write the Doctor.

DR.. Hathaway prefers that all pros
pective patients should call on him at
least once, so that he may have the
pleasure OF a personal acquaintance
at the outset. However, he realizes
that it is inconvenient for many to
comply with this suggestion, and for
these he has evolved a Self Home
Treatment that has met with wonder
full success. Some of the testimonials
would seem to prove this beyond
doubt. This Home Treatment is an
exact duplicate of the treatment APP
piled at the office, and it is just as ef-
fective. The majority of chronic dis
eases can be treated successfully at
home, the person himself or herself
applying the treatment. and if YOU
have any doubt whether your case can
be successfully treated this way, write
DR.. Hathaway in your own words how
you suffer, and he will write you
long letter in reply, giving you partic-
ulars.

IN the gymnasium only enough to keen
his body in trim. He was not so de-
voted to his books, however, that he
failed to respond when his class was in
rush, row or contest of any kind. He
was always in the fore front Of the
fray.
His father. Alphonso Taft, Secretary
OF War and Attorney General under
Grant. and in the diplomatic service
under Arthur, was a Yale graduate,
and he wanted his son to take high
honors from his alma mater. Bill did
not disappoint his parent. He grad
uated second in class of 120, and was
salutatorian and class orator.
TN never be content uitil I throw
Bill TAFT again." laughingly said Her
bert w. Bowen, minister to Venezuela,
one evening while in Washington con-
Quoting negotiations for the settlement
of the Venezuelan imbroglio. Mr..
Bowen was a member of the same class
with Taft at Yale. They were the two
biggest fellows in the college, and a
friendly rivalry existed between them
as to strength and ability to wrestle.
Bowen was a little taller, but Taft
was the heavier of the two. They were
pretty evenly matched in wrestling.
Up to our last year it was about
Bowen, but l think had just a shade
the better of him. In the last week of
the commencement of 1878 we had two
or three rounds, and Taft threw me. !
will never be satisfied until have an
other go at him.
Mr.. Bowen'S wish may be gratified.
When Judge Taft gets settled as Sec
rotary of War and Minister Bowen
comes to Washington on a leave of
absence there is nothing to prevent
their having an old-fashfoned wrest-
ling bout. President Roosevelt can
take them up to his gymnasium in the
attic of the White House and act as
umpire While the pair have it out on
the mat used by the President in his
wrestling exercises. 1t would be safe
money to bet on Bowen. Taft has laid
on flesh of recent years, and now tips
the beam at 80.
Since Judge Taft's residence in the
Philippines physical bulk has become
a badge of rank among the Filipinos.
They imagine that every big man must
be a high official. Judge Taft is their
hero. Another man they have respect
for on account of his avoirdupois is
Mr.. Ferguson, the disbursing officer OF
the Philippine Commission. He rivals
Gov. Taft in weight, and he is respect
ed accordingly by the natives. 1t is

the commission, his large size will be
recommendation. He will remind the
Filipinos of Taft, who has so thorough
ly commanded their obedience and re-
Spect.
In all the positions he has held Judge
Taft has never changed in his man
ner. His characteristics have remain
ed the same, and when he reaches
Washington as Secretary Of War the
thousands who know him predict that
his laugh will be just as loud, his hand
shake as hearty, his good humor as
infectious as they were in college, in
court circles or away off in the Phil
ippines. He will throw himself back in
his chair and enjoy a good story with
as much zest as he ever did. Taft is
not much of a story teller himself, but
he is at all times bubbling over with
good humor; so that while his MARIA
tives may not always be pointed and
witty, thew are bound to create a
laugh by the very force of his good
humor. He likes to chaff those who
are disposed to put on officials airs and
dignity. His associates on the Philip
pine Commission have frequently been
the object of his jokes, and he has
the faculty of injecting those about
him with his own manners and good
spirits.
L was not month with Judge
Taft until 1 was shaking hands with
everyone met and greeting them with
a laugh" said Rutherford Corbin, son
of Maj. Gen. Corbin, who was Gov
Taft's secretary for some two years in
the Philippines. Il never saw any
one who could so thoroughly dominate
everybody about him and saturate
them. as it were, with his own genial
ity."
Gov. Taft is as strong in his dislikes
as he is in his likes. Soon after reach
ing the Philippines he came in con-
flict with Gen. Macarthur. A bitter
feeling grew up, and as Judge Taft
felt he was in the right, the GOODNESS
still prevails. He had a difference also
with Gen. Chaffee, but it was alto
gether good natured. They argued their
points with each other and were on the
most intimate terms during the whole
controversy, always addressing each
other by their first names. The trou-
bles grew out of a conflict between the
civil and military governments, and
each considered himself in the right.
