SALES RAPIDLY INCREASING.
"Plant Juice" Preparations are
Evidencing their Value by
their Popularity.

aid people turned out to attend
the entertainment and lecture OF
Col. Frank A. Dillingham; and his
fine company of artists on the
corner of Grant st. and Central
Ave. The inclement weather
kept the crowd away from the
regular evening program, but
there was steady stream of vis-
itors to the headquarters through
out the day and in the evening.
Since the introduction of the
"Plant Juice" medicines, ten
days ago, and the news of some
of it's wonderful cures has spread
about the city and vicinity, the
applications for treatment and
supplies of the medicine have ex-
ceeded all expectations of the
promoters. A number of citi-
zens of Fitzgerald who had used
the remedies called on Col. Dill
bingham yesterday and gave vol
untary testimonials of it's great
curative powers.
plant Juice" is compounded
into four different forms under
the supervision of the Dillingham;
proprietorship, and as they are
dispensed represent the follow
ing remedies and uses:
"Dillingham's Plant Juice" is
the original discovery and prepa-
ration which has created so much
attention wherever introduced.
1t is an unfailing remedy for ca
tarrh, indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation. rheumatism, kid
ney aud bladder troubles, scrof-
ula and so-called blood diseases,
chills. fevers, diseases common
to women, and will remove worms
and all disease germs. Its intro
duction in every community has
been followed by some of the
most remarkable cures, and the
thousands of voluntary testimon-
ials now in the hands of the
dispensers is the strongest in
dorsement the medicine could
receive. The simplest methods
only are required in following
the treatment, and the most
gratifying results are always OBJ
tanned. The sales of this prepa-
ration have been something enor-
nous, and the results have been
universally satisfactory.
It has been truly said of PLANT
Juice" that when once introduce
ed into any section of the count
ry it never dies out. Its sale is
constantly increasing, and at the
present time has assumed such
proportions as to justify the as
sertion that it has never been
equaled by any other remedy.
The testimony of thousands is
proof of it's merit.
''Dillingham's Plant Juice Lin
iment" is Justly styled the great
est pain medicine on earth, and
already hundreds of our people
are ready and prepared to testi-
| fy to the truth of this assertion.
1t is an unfai1ing remedy for
rheumatism, sore throat, pleurl-
sy, Pneumonia, Group, toothache,
fain,ing, headache, stiff joints,
cuts, burns, chlIhla1ns, nedrt-
burn, 1um bago, spinal affection,
sprains, cramps in the stomach,
bruises, dysentery, bruises or
twisted linn bs, the result of falls
or other accidents, and in fact, is
unfailing in its curative effects
in all cases requiring prompt and
effective relief. Since it's intro
duction in this city the prophet
or has personally applied it to
mum berof persons, with the most
satisfactory results, while in
other cases where used the re-
suits have been universallygratl-

Report of Canal Commission.
The report of the canal commission
recites that its first visit TO the canal
zone was in April last. during which
time the only work in progress was
the excavation of the Culebra cut.
Neither the equipment nor the organ
ization of the force was considered
adequate or in any way fitted for The
prompt removal of the grea. mass Of
material in the cut
The French surveys. although scien-
tifically conducted, were found To be
of little value on account of the
changes which have taken place, not
only in the size OF vessels JUt in the
existing conditions and methods Of
construction. Under these conditions
il was decided that the most effectual
step toward progress was the immed-
late organization of surveying parties
70 determine among other things the
practicability OF sea level canal.

Washington, ID. c, Jan. 1i-Presi-
dent Roosevelt in a special message to
congress asks for notable changes in
the law governing the construction of
the Panama canal.
The president says the present law

a board of seven members is clumsy
and inelastic. He wants a commits

bers. and wants authority 10 go out

After the commission OF five or
three has decided upon the general
plans he proposes TO place the work
of executing them in the hands of an
engineer in charge.
