THE SEVEN
PLAQUES OF EGYPT
NOT EQUAL TO THE TORTURES
or CANCER, THE MOST TER
RIsLE DISEASE KNOWN.
WHAT A SPECIALIST Is DEMON
STRATlNG AS TO ITS
CURE.

Cancer, Of all the diseases that
ever afflicted mankind, cancer is the
worst. Talk of the Seven Plaques of
Egypt; why, if Moses had only
sprung cancer on Pharaoh himself,
instead of the seven plaques on his
people, Moses would have needed an
other affliction to bring Pharaoh to
time and the Israelites would have
been free at once.
There are many other diseases,
howev r, that are not so deadly, but
just as serious in the result. For OK
ample, nervous debility in men, neu'
rasthenia in women frequently termi-
mating into insanity, which to many
people is worse than death" A
noted physician of the state, how
ever, discovered "a treatment that
cures these diseases and reported at
various times hundreds Of cures.
The doctor in question is none 9TH
er than DR.. Oharest, a physician well
known throughout he northwest, not
only for the cure of nervous diseases
but also for the cure Of other chonic,
deep seated and lingering diseases.
DR.. Charest is entitled to the credit
of hundreds and even thousands of
cases.
He being a specialist of much abil-
ity along the line of general medium
and in the treatment Of special chron-
ic diseases, is especially prepared to
cure them, even when they had fail
ed to obtain relief from any other
source
We herewith publish few names
Of people he has cured.

OF tumors of the nose (polipi) without
cutting, after two operations had

been performed, nearly bleeding to
death at the last one. DR.. Charest
cured him by healing the eatarrh,
which was the cause of the trouble.
Martha Dale, Leeds, cured of new
rasthenba and heart trouble that II
doctors had failed to even relieve,
Jay Fauzael, Mandan, cured OF heart
trouble that made it impossible for
him to work at anything.
H. Thompson OF Grafton, cured of
Dyspepsia Of many years standing,
which some doctors had treated for
cancer of the stomach. DR., Charest'
treatment cured him entirely. I'M
provement was noticed in the first
week.
Ida Kissome of Minot, cured Of a
persistent headache that had made
her life miserable for many years.
Mrs. Devore of Dawson, cured of
chronic bilious headache with vom-
iting. She had suffered for twenty
years and mad tried many doctors.
Herman Heeberg Of Fargo, cured
of sciatic rheumatism that had kept
him tied to his bed for more than a
year.
Otto Peterson of Darlington, cured
of eczema and sscrofula.
Agnes Komb, of Anamoose, cured of
female weakness and enlargement of
the tubercular glands-other doctors
had operated on her without success.
%. Larson, La;Moure, cured of dys-
pepsda and intestinal catarrh. He
says, "Dr. Charest, you have done
more for me in month than the
eleven physicians have treated with
in the last nine years."
Wn4. Bayqer, Bismarck, cured Of
rheumatism; had suffered pains in all
the joints and muscles of his body
tor many years; could hardly walk
alone-is now entirely we'll.
Why is it that Dr.. Charest per
forms such wonderful cures? The an
swer is that he has the knowledge
that enables him to find the cause
of the trouble, and he hast he right
remedies to do it with.

Of life is so great. 1t has been shown

1.-THE objections to the establish

sumptives need still be overcome in
this as well as in other countries.
There exists among the people the
idea that pulmonary tuberculosis is q
dangerous contagious disease, and
that the country surrounding a sani-
toriu1n is g regula- lot bed OF tuber-
culcsis germs. That from the pres
ence of properly conducted sanitor-
ia for consumptives not the beast dan
ger can arise to the employees of
the sanitOrium or to persons In the
locality where such institutions are
located, has often been demonstrated.

The fact that many Republican news
papers favor free wood pulp and print
paper while advocating prohibitive du-
ties on almost everything else, gave the
trust owned senator's an opportunity to
accomplish their undertaking and at
the same time stop the mouths Of the
party organs. The forests of the coun-
try may be depleted and the machinery
OF the trust mills old and Anticipated,
but these drawbacks are going to be
settled out of the pockets Of the news
paper publishers. regardless Of politics,
many of whom, with high tariff
proclivities. would stand by and
and watch the robbery Of any
other class of citizens in a legal and
gentlemanly manner. II may be COM
forting to these people TO know that in
a short time 50 per cent of the plants
of the International Paper company
will have been transplanted to the Do
minion Of Canada, and eventually the
bulk Of business of this highly-favored
trust will be transplanted over the line,
the manufacturing end of It, at least.
Then we shall have free wood pulp and
free paper. OF at least reciprocity with
Canada. Until such times the tariff
will likely stick in spite of all the pro-
tests of the press.
