DIR. DARRIN COMING!!
AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT
WILL INTEREST MANY
DIR. Darrin, the Eminent Specialist
Has Just Returned From Europe
and VIII Visit Dallas, Oct. 80 to
Dec. 4, Stopping at Hotel Gail.
Many Know His Mode of Treat
ment.

While adverse to drawing the atten-
ton of our readers to any advertise
ment which partakes of a medical
character, we feel more than justified
in overriding this objection with
respect to the announcement OF the
visit of DR.. Darrin.
This far-famed physician, lately
from Europe, who has achieved such
a great reputation throughout the
coast and the Northwest the past six
teen years, has been prevailed upon,
by urgent requests Of many in this
vicinity, to visit Dallas, as they could
not afford by their time and business to
consult him in Portland. The doctor
has at last consented to visit this city
to accommodate the sick and afflicted,
and his office will be at the Hotel Gail.
Those wishing to see the doctor will
find it to their advantage to consult
him while here, and during the first
part of his stay, as many require more
than one treatment of electricity.
He comes laden with testimonials
from the whole Northwest and the
authentic reports of some of his cures
seem nothing short of miraculous.
So many thousands are already ac-
quainted with his mode of treatment
it seems unnecessary to state that he
uses little medicine in the majority Of
cases, and perfects his cures by the
wonderful power of electricity.
There are few ills to which the hu-
man flesh is heir, which cannot be
relieved and generally permanently
cured by DR.. Darrin's electrical treat
ment, and cases that have resisted the
efforts Of ordinary physicians, have
yielded to his power. These cases en-
brace almost every form of disease,
and, as said before, no man, woman
or child need despair of relief or cure
while DR.. Darrin offers his invaluable
services, The doctor is prepared to
test and fit eye glasses to any desir-
ing them.
Unlike other physicians who have
become prominent in their profession
the doctors charges are exceedingly
moderate and reasonable, according
to circumstances and ability to pay at
the rate of S. a week or in the proper
ton of time required, and he will not
any case that he cannot
cure or benefit. Consultation is free
to all. Should there be cases that are
he will Immediately dis
cover them on consultation, thus saw
ing patients any further expediture of
time and money, which they might
squander.

Washington, Feb. 20. - The house
yesterday began consideration of the
naval appropriation bill, ten hours be-
Ing allowed for general debate. Dur
ing the general discussion Mr.. Fitz-
gerald (Dem., N. W declared that our
naval program was to procure a
naval force greater than that Of Ger
many. Mr.. Foss made an urgent ap-
peal for the upbuilding Of the navy,
emphasizing the necessity of ship
construction in times of peace. He
was strongly seconded by Mr.. Meyer
(La.), the ranking Democratic mem
Der on the committee. who combatted
the statement that the navy was top
heavy, as charged, and declared it in
dispensable that we should have a
strong navy. Referring to the Pan
ANA canal, he said he was for the
canal and also for navy to safe
guard it.
