Impressive and if He Runs to-

On Tuesday afternoon the saddling
bell will again clang forth it's clam
orous notes at the Savannah race
track, and the bang tails who have
chafed in their stalls so long, will
commence the first real racing Of the
season of 1904
The card which will be put on at
the track Tuesday will be an excellent
one. Manager Hull has been busily
engaged for the past week getting the
horsemen to agree on conditions, and
the final entries will be made to-day.
The star event on the card will be
the match race at five furlongs be-
tween Kingfull and Leonoster. The
last time these two started together
Kingfull was easily beaten, but his
owners were not satisfied with the out
come of the race, and challenged Leo
noster's owner for a match for a good
sized side bet.
KingfuII Had Overweight.
Kingfull carried overweight in his
last race with Leonoster, and this Is
claimed by his owners was the Gauss
of his defeat. Be that as it may. Lee
onoster's performance in his last two
starts have been very impressive, and
If he is up to "A race on Tuesday he
will no doubt again show the chest
nut gelding the way home.
There will be two trotting events on
the card, just as there were on New
Years day. These races will be de-
cided by heats, the best two out OF
three, at a mile each. Since the last
matinee was pulled off a number OF
harness horses have been put in train
ing and will start Tuesday. The en-
tries for these events have not all been
filled yet.
st. JuvennI to Enter.
Harry Schultz has decided to give his
Crescent City derby candidate, st.
Juvenal, a trial race Tuesday, and he
will be entered in the five-furlong race.
st. Juvenal has been coming along so
nicely that Mr.. Schultz thinks he has
an excellent chance to be in the money
in the star event at New Orleans.
John Croker is also putting his crack
2-year-old, Dick Ripley, on edge for
the derby, and this colt will be exer-
cised on the track Tuesday.

a try-out.
Willie Clarke the little collegian,
and Harry Manners will do the catch
ing again this year. Clarke is one of
the hardest working backstops in the
profession and last year worked in 121
games out of q possible 126. That is
what one could call fairly regular
work. Manners, although not given a
fair chance, is a good man.
Pabst will play first. and Fred
Moore, a brilliant fielder, will succeed
Cupid Childs on second. Bill Spratt
has been let out and a new man will
'amble around third base. Heinrich
Busch will again play short and, if he
continues to improve, will be the star
of the league.

YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF.

You cannot hope to keep pace with
the demands of life If you are handi-
capped by some stubborn Chronic Dis
ease which units you for business or
pleasure. You owe it to yourself and
posterity to be the equal of any man
physically, and you are not doing your
duty If you fail to avail yourself of
the most skillful treatment obtainable.
My services are within your reach,
and 1t will cost you no more to be
treated skillfully and intelligently by
me than to be experimental upon by
practitioners who are deficient in the
practical knowledge and skill neces-
sary 20 understand your case per-
fectly and treat 1t successfully. My
claim to superior skill in the treat
ment of Chronic Diseases is based on
the fact that my entire life's work
has been devoted to their study and
treatment-hence my proficiency has
cases than any dozen other specialists.

My Superior Skill Will Avail You
Nothing Unless You Give Me an
Opportunity to Treat You.

I doubt If there are many sufferers
who have not heard of my reputation
as a Specialist in treating Chronic
Diseases. Hundreds of patients come
to me because ! have successfully
handled a case for some friend, and
they have had an opportunity of see
ing for themselves direct evidence of
my skill. Others have read my an
nouncements from time to time, and
are familiar with my work through
the press. Many of these need my
services and are simply postponing a
cure by not coming to me at once, but
they seem to entertain some doubt as
to my ability to cure them.
Perhaps you are one of these, and I
want to say that you are doing your
self an injustice by not coming to me
at once, and at least having a friendly
interview about your case, and giving
me an opportunity to show you how
I have handled cases similar to yours,
and the great good have been able
to render simply because ] under
stand just what each particular case
requires.
