Philadelphia, Pa, June &c. 1909.
DR.. Du Meyer Co.:
Dear Doctors-In reply to your let
ter | would say that l am entirely re-
stored to health by your treatment and
have been able to work in an Office as
bookkeeper since my return home from
Denver, over year ago.
The cure you made of me is very re-
markable, to my mind, because of the
fact that l was SO very Ill and had
tried number Of specialists and doc
tors before taking your treatment. on
account of the water in my left lung
1 was operated on three times and
tapped for Hydro-Thorax. This only
gave me temporary relief, and / al
ways got worse after each operation
than had been before.
After taking your Belgian Oxygen
Treatment a short time my symptoms
improved gradually until l was en-
tirely restored to health and able to
return to my home in Philadelphia.
l know from experience just what
the Belgian oxygen cure did for me and
l want to thank you sincerely for my
life, as | know that had l not taken
your treatment l would have been
dead a year ago
If you have any people in this yicin-
ity who would like to know about
your treatment send them TO me, and
l will gladly tell them that 1 know
of nothing that compares with it for
the treatment of lung troubles,
| forgot to state that l had several
severe hemorrhages a year before l
came to see you. l have not been
bothered in any way and am able to
live in Philadelphia, my home, with
out any return of my old trouble
Yours very truly

PATIENTS AT THEIR HOMES

It is always better to have the ad-
vantage of a careful personal examin-
alton of patients. especially in compli-
Gated forms of disease, or OF a surgical
nature; but there are many who can
not come from great distances To Los
Angeles for the purpose of consulta-
tion, to say nothing of the inconveni-
ence of remaining long from home, or
of long delay for treatment; and hence
the necessity of the MOST PERFECT
PLAN POSSIBLE, TREATMENT AT
HOME.
Such are our Improvements and ia
cilities for the diagnosis of Disease and
Treatment of Patients at their homes
at present that we are enabled to pre-
pare and forward suitable remedies
specifically adapted to durable diseased
conditions, with as much confidence Of
success as though we had the patient
before us We determine the nature
of the disease by the symptoms and
history of the case. BY thus possess
ing the true knowledge of diseases and
their remedies (of your disease, you
should write to me without reserve.
Just tell me your condition and I will
frankly reply to your letter, telling you
Just exactly what l can do and what
you may eXpecD. we apply the reme-
dies adapted to the diseased conditions.
There are some cases that are incur
able. Under no conditions will l ac-
cept such cases for treatment. Any
one who places his or her case in my
hands should feel assured if l cannot
cure the case in hand | will frankly
the patient and his symptoms, l can
ascertain whether the case is durable
or not. If it is not, l say so without
hesitation, for there can be little
gained in trying TO cure a case which
/ know beforehand cannot be cured
at all.
In my experience l have known cases
where physicians would say they could
not cure a certain case, probably be-
cause they did not know how and not
because the case was in fact incurable
l make thik statement because l have

With thirty-five years experience

try to successfully treat dangerous
and pitiful disease.
Whatever treatment is prescribed by
me is special and individual for that
particular case. Every case which IS
accepted IS considered upon its own
basis for the reason that the charac-
teristics and symptoms of different
cases are widely different. No one can
successfully treat all cases of any one
disease with the same prescription.
While the same parts are affected in
all cases OF tuberculosis, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Catarrh, Epilepsy the
original causes may be different, and
these must first be treated. For this
reason, l treat every case just AS
though it were the only case | had.
One case may require radically diff
ferent method Of treatment than an
other but by my system | learn just
how to prescribe for each individual
case successfully and what to do in
every case in order to bring about the
desired result speedily and perma-
nently
Not only is my treatment successful,
but it is also highly recommended by
who have tested its merits

Catarrh is most common-resulting
from neglected colds.
Is your head stopped up?
Does your nose discharge?
Is your nose sore and tender?
Is there pain in front of the head?

Is your throat dry in the morning?
You can be easily cured now. Don't
let it run into complications.

OF THE STOMACH

Catarrh of the stomach is usually
caused by swallowing mucus when
drops down from the head and throat
at night.
Is there nausea?
Do you belch up gas?
Are you constipated?
Do you bloat up after eating?
Is there constant bad taste in the
mouth?
Now is the time to be permanently

Most physicians claim that there IS

permanent and speedy relief. If you

The magnitude of the task is little understood
except by those closely connected with the work.
There are 600 miles of boundary from Portland
canal up the coast to Mount St Elias. where 1t
hooks around on to the 141st meridian and shoots
for another 600 miles straight north to the Arctic
ocean.
All the land lying along the boundary must be
mapped on an accurate scale. and a strip of top
ography four miles wide must be the entire
length of the 141st meridian: peaks which can.
not be climbed. or rather those which would take
too long and would be too expensive to scale.
must be determined geodetically: vistas 20 feet
in width must be cut through the timbered val

SUCCESS IN ALFALFA SEED
Heaviest Yields Are Usually Obtained
on Adobe Land, from Slow
or Owarfed Growth.

Much speculation exists why west
ern farmers do not succeed better in
alfalfa seed production. The heaviest
yields, which run up to IS bushels the
acre. are usually obtained on adobe
land, from slow or dwarfed growth.
New alfalfa is considered best for
seed production, as an old stand has
too great root development, Undue
ing too rapid growth which is not con-
ducive to seed production. Two and
three-year-old stands give best results.
Such may be obtained from either the
first or second cutting. but the latter
gives more uniform ripening. The
field should be, irrigated when In full
bloom to give the greatest yield. More
and better seed is usually to be had
when the plants are not crowded.
When the seed is sown in rows. bet
ter results are to be had than when
broadcasted, as cultivation can be
given and the crowns of the plant are
not SO readily injured.

ice and towering mountain ranges. To complete
this part OF the boundary the use OF an airship Is
contemplated.
In the interior the difficulties of the work are
changed. Long wooded stretches. Interrupted by
barren ridges take the place of g.acers and crag-
gy mountains. In place of snow fields there are
heart-breaking "niggerhead" swamps to be crossed,
where the pack-horse becomes mired and exhaust
ed and the temper OF man is tried to the breaking
point. Supplies have to be ferried across the riv
ers on log RATS. while the horses swim.
There is longer the guiding line of the coast
to follow. and the surveyor must rely on his in
stinct for topography and woodcraft to pilot him
through an unbroken wilderness.
The Inconvenience of transportation have to be
overcome. and year by year they becoming
