PROFESSOR WILKINS

Who is raising suffering humanity
from beds of sickness and rescuing
them from the grave performs many
remarkable cures without medicine,
no drugs to paralyze your organism
and cripple your nerve force. One
lady writes, prof. Wilkins's skill for
detecting and curing disease is truly
wonderful" A man came with crick
in the back and was cured in one
treatment One lady who has suf-
fered for years with a complication of
diseases common to her sex said, Il
have received more help from one
treatment than l have got from talk
ing medicine for months A child
treated for epilepsy, another for spinal
trouble. 1t cots you nothing to see
him and if you are in doubt you can
do no less than to go and investigate
for yourself.
Prof Wilkins positively refuses to
treat the patient he cannot help. He
cures nine out of every ten he treats
No disease should be neglected and
given up until you have seen Prof

AN OPPORTUNITY LOST.

It is reported in the Washington cor
respondence Of the New York papers
that Secretary Morton will retire from
the cabinet as soon after July as his
successor can be named. The reason
given is that he has remained now
longer thar he had intended to do, but
had been persuaded against his
wishes by the request of the president.
and that private business interests
now make it imperative for him to
break away soon.
This situation is probably largely
the true one for it is common COM
plant that the men of cabinet size are
worth twice and thrice the cabinet
salary to private employers and Mr..
Morton, not being rich man.. must
be looking out for a large salary. How
ever, the country will still harbor the
suspicion that there are other reasons
and If it is true that Mr.. Morton is
going the country will not be alto
gether sorry
f.
When Mr.. Morton entered the cabi-
net there was great opportunity
shaping itself for cabinet member of
special railroad experience. The
country relied upon Roosevelts judge
ment and believed that Morton intend
ed to use his expert knowledge in de-
Tense of the people but as develop
ments have progressed the people
seem to have waited in vain. 1t has
seemed that Morton has proved true
to his first love rather than to his
present alliance and has even embar-
raised the president by putting his
chief in wrong light before the peo-
pie hence the people have little regret
at news Of divorce proceedings within
the cabinet family. Paul Morton had
an opportunity to make himself a far
greater man than being millionaire
but he failed. The regret is not so
much that he is going but that he did
!. not see his opportunity when it came.
