YOU DO NOT PAY FOR FAIL
UREs, BUT FOR CURES.

The physician who has not sufficient
confidence in his ability TO cure his
patients first and receive his pay aft
erwards is not the man to inspire con-
fidence in those who are in search for
honest treatment.
Our acceptance of a case for treat
ment is equivalent to a cure, because
we never accept incurable cases. We
are satisfied to receive the money for
the value we have given the patient.
but we expect to prove our worth and
show positive and satisfactory results
before we ask for the fee. SO, should
we fail to cure a case, the patient
loses nothing, while when we cure him
we have given what is worth much
more than money-we have given him
his health again. We are the very
first specialists in the United States
who have had sufficient confidence in
their ability to say to the afflicted,

Times Company, 1906
by Ira D. sankey: The Sunday School

In the preface to the volume entitled
Sankey's Story of the Gospel hymns"
Mr.. Cuyler of Brooklyn writes: IF ever
| a man was raised and endowed for a spe-
cial work by our Divine Master. that
man is Ira D. Sankey. His work has
been Of two-fold character. Before his
day psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs had always been an important part
of the services of religious worship
throughout christendom. But he intro
duced peculiar style of popular hymns
which are calculated to awaken the care
less TO melt the hardened. and to guide
nquring souls to the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the next place. he sang these powerful
revival-hymns himself, and became as
effective preacher of the gospel of sal
walton by song as his associate, Dwight
L. Moody, was by sermon.
After a preface by Mr.. Sankey the book
proper opens with the story of Sankey's
own life. He relates an incident of Mr..
Moody's preaching and his first song rem
dered with the great preacher 'eThere

SHAW'S POLICIES WEIGHED
ON EVE OF RETIREMENT
Much Discussion and Varying Estimates of His Method
of Handling Affairs of the National
Treasury.

The retirement of Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw Will furnish occasion for
much discussion of his policy. There
will be widely varying estimates. but
the fact that he has continued in the
position so long and that there Is con
siderable reason for the belief that had

answer TO hostile comment. It has been

In truth however. the governorship OF

the interest of Mr.. Roosevelt in him.
It was the determined purpose OF Sec

financial crisis during his incumbencv.
