strings were hung and twirled before

Brother Matthew heals not by o.
teopathy, by hypDotism. nor by Divine
Healing. but by a system of natural
science in combination with the most
true and reliable remedies of the age
He is man that cures the sick because
he understands the nature, cause and
the condition of circumstance which
bring disease about. His discoveries
are those made from personal experience
and from long continued practice in his
profession. An article published in the
September number of the North Ameri-
can Medical Journal says: Brother
Matthew is man who is eminently sci
entific in his profession, a man far be-
yond the average doctor, a man who is
capable, or otherwise he could not be
successful. Brother Matthew, as 4
practicing physician, is successful and
he is one of the greatest disgnosticians
of chronic diseases of the age. Is it not
reasonable to believe that if a man is
successful in one branch of science that
he is certainly capable of being success
full in other branches? Analyze these
matters yourself. Do not allow your
thoughts and your opinions to be in
fuenced by others who are not inter.
ested. One does not know how to ap-
preciate health until they have lost it.
Brother Matthew has studied his pro-
feesion both at home and abroad, and
after thorough and painstaking in
vestigation. has succeeded in curing the
diseases of his specially when other
physicians had failed. Why not? Some
of these people we're blind, some were
lame. some def, some parslytic. scarce
ly able to move, others afflicted with
Bright's disease. heart disease, cODsump-
tioa, cancer, others with kidney troubles
dyspepsia, insomnia and the thousand
and one symptoms, of those dreadful
maladies It is claimed by his friends
that he can tell the disease of a patient
without asking him q question. This
is perhaps true. for since he is 50 learn
ed in his profession and SO experienced
in treating disease, why shouldn't he

The Kitchen Cad.

The kitchen god of China is per-

is the recording angel Of the Chi

at the end of every month. Once a
