Bright'S Disease and
 Diabetes News.
Law ofices of Henley & Costello.
 San Franclsco. March14.
To the Legal Profession of Alabama:

San Francisco. March14. To the Legal Profession of Alabama:
 was a witness to the following: About two years ago Prof. Yost of Palo Alto. who was in an extreme condition due to advanced Brights Disease, came to my office. He was attended by his physician who was himself victim of Diabetes. The object of the visit was to meet d prominent business man who had for months been Investigating an alleged cure for Bright's Disease and Diabetes, and hear his verdict. He declared that the claims were fully proven and that the cure had been discovered. Both Prof. Yost and his physician at once adopted the treatment Within six months both were so we'll along towards recovery that they considered themselves beyond danger and at this date neither Bright's Disease nor Diabetes hold any terrors for them. and the physician Is success fully using the treatment in his prac- tice.
 Learning that my old law partner, Judge R. R. Bigelow. for many years Chief Justice ot the State of Nevada, had had four or five of our best physi- clans, yet that he had had to give up practice and was in a serious condition, lost no time in telling him of the above. It resulted in his complete recovery and he is again back to active practice. As to the durability of chronic Bright's Dis ease and Diabetes have no more doubt about 1t than that am living.
 Sincerely yours,
 BARCLAY HENLEY,

The faithfulness Of the dog Is well

should be. Perhaps most faithful OF
all the species is the Eskimo dog.

animal from the writings OF Frederick

by the dogs. and no started out with
sixty OF them. returning with only
