 METHOD OF PROCEDURE

 the W0rld-Read It.

Never has there come to our notice a more encouraging and enlightening and altogether a more valuable work than 'The Revolution in Medical Prac- tice," by Louis Blumer. D. Ps. N. D..
 of Hartford, Conn. Dr. Blumer has unqualifiedly placed in the hands of humanity at large a book the perusal Of which will pour more light into the mind in regard to disease, it's preven- tion and eradication. than all previous attempts by health writers. combined. The reading of this masterful work will open the soul of the ill and well alike and point out a sane method of procedure the following of which will ten-fold increase the happiness of the world. The doctors expose of the uncertainty of the basis of medical practice and it's prescription of poison ous drugs to allay pain and eradicate disease from what must already be a poisoned, abnormal system is a sub iect of extreme interest to the free thinker. For the man woman who can think, this book is a boon and none such will allow it's reading to es- cape them Here is book in which the author has directed a. powerful searchlight on every curative method in existence and extracted from them all the cOmmendable parts which he lief from suffering to his fellow crea -s lures. And above everything pr. Blumer remains natural. He in no way attempts to gain his followers through superstition or supernatural methods. He writes for you and for us all to understand avoiding as much as possible the technical terms and in every instance uses understandable language. He points the natural way for you to regain or retain your health
 He points out to you so that you will easily see them, the flaws and ineffi- ciency in the methods you have util- ized and from which cure has not resulted. This is indeed a wonderful book which should for the health and preservation of the race find it's place in every library in the world. It's price. B cents and 90 cents. is the smallest thing about 1.-the rest is large and plainly the work of a broad minded man which the world is much better for having known. S5.O0 would be small price to pay for the courage this book will inspire in the person eX- hausted from work. worry or disease in any form. For the person whose doc tor has given him up, a perusal of ''The Revolution in Medical Pra ctice' would be worth a fabulous sum of money. The book is sale at Hayes & Betts', 993 Main street.

Mind Your Own Business.

An old custom once prevailed in a remote place in England of giving a clock to any one who would ruthfully swear that he had minded his own business alone for a year and a day and had not meddled with his neigh bors. Many came, but few, if any, gained the prize, which was more diff dcuIt to win than the Dunmow fitch of bacon. Though they swore on the four gospels and held out thefr hands in certain hope, some hitch was sure to be found somewhere, and fer all their asseverations the clock remained stationary on the shelf, no one being able to prove his absolute immunity from uncalled for interference in things not in any way concerning himself. At last a young man came with a per fectly clear record, and the clock seemed as if it was at last about to change owners. Then said the custo- dian, "Oh, a young man was here yes terday and made mighty sure he was going to have the clock, but he didn't" And why didn't he get tt?' Whats that to you?" snapped the custodian. That's not your business, and you don't get the clock"

The Chinese sampans.

In Canton 100000 people spend their
 whole existence in boats, which are there called sampans. They are born in them, live in them from infancy to old age and finally die in them. Col actively these boats form a floating suburb to the city proper, one of the most amazing human settlements in the world. Every creek is crammed with them. Along the main banks of the river they are huddled twenty deep so close together that the covering of mats appears continuous as far as the eye can reach. And each sampar houses a separate family, with its own big brazier lamp, which serves fcA heating, lighting and cooking the eve>- ing meal. The scene when a resIly serious confagration once gets a prop ef hold in the midst of these floating wooden homes may be imagined Es- cape is impossible except for those moored at the outermost edge. In one of these conf1agrations over a thou sand persons lost their lives.

 ture was asked to make it lawful under certain conditions for physicians to give a drug to patients that would cast the patients into a sleep from which they would awaken in the next world. Suppose a man in eXcruciating pain from some disease that was sure to. cause his death in a day or so. Provid- ed the man was willing to take the drug and his family was willing, these physicians thought it would be an act of charity to stop the suffering of the man by this death sleep since he was sure to die in so short a time. But that state Legislature very wisely thought quite differently. It decided that such a practice was murder and would be considered such and pun ished as such.
 
 away life an hour or day or a week before it would naturally end, so it is murder to take away life an hour or a day or a week after it naturally be- gins, and the life of the child begins nine months before it is born. The church and sane science argue on this point regarding the beginning of the life of the unborn. To take away the life of the unborn child at any period after it's conception, to deprive it of the light of Gods sunshine and the light of Gods grace, is crime that calls loud to heaven for vengeance, because in a certain sense it kills both body and soul.
