C. A. Fernstrom, one of Mime
sofas pioneer Swedish settlers, went
to that state in 1850, but left two years
later for California. Some time aft
erward he took up his residence in
Iowa, where he has been ever since.
Last week he revisited saltwater for
the first time and learned that a mon
ument had been erected to his memory
years ago by his relatives, who in all
that time had never heard from him
and supposed he had died while in the
Far West.

Saunders was charged with stealing a
$50 bicycle from Fred Ferman. Judge
Graham appointed G. L. Larimore to
defend him. The attorney advised
Saunders to plead guilty, after investi-

seem to suit Saunders, and, when he
went before Judge Graham, he said:

OF you What it is?" asked the
court. "Jedge," said the bicycle thief

Just as an engineer can cause the eX-
plosion of a boiler by neglecting to
have it cleaned and refixed when he
knows full well that it is not working
the way it should, just so can can a hui
man being cause his own death by neg
lecting an ache, a pain or a diScom-
fort in his body. If you know that
your heart, your liver, your stomach,
your bladder, your kidneys or your
nervous system is not what 1t ought
to be; or if you feel drowsy and dull,
have no appetite, with shooting pains
here and there and you don't know
just what is wrong with you, don't
you think that by far the most SEN
sible thing you can do is to go to a
specialist of renown and have him ex-
anime you and tell you?
Take the case of DR.. Newton Hatha-
way. our eminent physicians scientist
He has been curing sickness for two
generations and il is safe to say that
in the intervening years tens of thou
sands have owed their permanent good
health to his knowledge of the science
of curing He has mastered the human
body. He can trace an ache or a pain
to it's lair and tell you not only where
the pain comes from and what caused
1t, but, better still at once give you
the exact treatment that will cure you.
The method this great doctor uses in
his practice I? entirely original with
him and can be obtained only by go
ing or writing to him. 1t represents the
browning point of long and useful
career. a method evolved by the doc
tor out of the ripeness of two genera
tions of experience in the profession of
medicine. 1t is this. vast curative
knowledge that is at the disposal of
all who are sick and farseeing enough
to realize the advantage of going to

other physician. He is a specialist in

that brother physicians themselves
consult him.
He Has Cured Thousands.
OF even greater Importance, however,
are the tens of thousands of cured,
happy men and women who are liter
ally walking advertisements for this
truly great man. They came to him
sick, weak and detected, thin in body
and c'ouded in mind. hopeless that
they would ever be we'll again; but he
dismissed them as cured, buoyant
hopeful and happy, with a complexion
that bespeaks health. a cheerfulness
that tells of vigor and strong man
hood, the lustre in the eye that tells
of ambition realized. This is Dr.
Hathaway's greatest claim to fame
the tens of thousands who owe to him
their present good health.
No matter what you are suffering
from, sec DR.. Hathaway Others may
not understand your case, but he will.
You can rely on him to tell you frank
ly just what is the matter with you,
ana he will prepare something in his
laboratory that will cure you Within
the boundaries of his speciality there is
no disease that he cannot cure, and
cure it in less time that others, without
discomfort to you and without keeping
you from work
Come in Person or Write.
The doctor wants all who find it pos
sible to call at his offices and make his
acquaintance in person and he will be
glad to go into the details of his
method and tell you what ails YOU.
Persons living out of town who find it
inconvenient to call in person should
write the doctor as below, stating in
their own words now they suffer and
he will give them all advice and infor-
nation free besides sending a book on
the subject CT their disease free of
charge. The doctors full address and
