DON 7 GIVE UP
HOPE OF CURE

timOnials Civ

PEOPLE WANT PROOF

Don't give up hope of cure just
because you have selected the wrong
means, especially when there is
treatment that has cured hundreds
afflicted as you are. If you are weak
from any cause or sufIering from
backache, lumbago, sciatica, rheuma-
tism, stomach and liver trouble, kid
ney, bladder or bowel complaints,
DR.. Bartz's system of treatment will
make you strong and we'll again.
Here is one of his late testimon-
iaIs. He can refer you to many
others if you want further proof.
Mrs. Edward Van Gitsen. who re-
sides at 1855 Forty-second street.
Rock Island, says: 'All my life 1
have had trouble with my stomach
and for the past seven years it has
been exceptionally bad. My tongue
was coated nearly all the time and
there was hardly a day passed but

of affairs, l suffered a great deal of
pain in my back and bowels, in fact,
l became so bad / could hardly do
my work. Finally. ! began to rea-
lie that / would have to have help
soon or else give up completely. so
l made up my mind to consult DIR.
Bartz and try his method of treat
ment. I am glad / did so, for now
I can hardly find words to express
my delight to think what a success

pains from which 1 suffered and that
distressed feeling in my stomach has
all left me, the food all tastes natur-
al again, in fact, l feel perfectly well
once more"
The above case we'll illustrates t.
marvellous work that is being =
at DR.. Bartz's offices,
which are located in the Peoples Ma
tional bank building, Fourth floor)
corner Second avenue and Eigh-
teenth street, Rock Island. His Of
fees are nearly always crowded with
patients, some of whom come long
distances to be treated. His treat
ment is indeed wonderful as pains /.
and aches are frequently relieved in /
a few minutes time.
Notice-All patients calling at DR.. /
Bartz's Offices between now and APP

This great free treatment offer was /
extended until then on account of the |
fact that the conservative patients

Blood in Bad Order.

Rowardenan. Cal. April 26.-Fol-
lowing the suggestion of Joe Choyn-
ski, the new physical director at
camp. Jim Jeffries forsook the train
ing schedule yesterday and if he can
be prevailed upon to accept the ad-
vice of his handlers it will be several
days before the gymnasium and the
handball court see him again.
The big fighter has been annoyed
during the last few days by a skin
eruption on his back, a condition
diagnosed by Choynski as a serious
disorder of the blood. 1t is the
trainers opinion that Jeffries has
been working too hard since he went
into training and from now on the
work will be regulated with greater
system.

Timid Applause.

During the earlier days of the reign of Queen Victoria dramatic perform ances were given at Windsor castle under the management of Charles Kean. The audiences being limited and stiffly aristocratic. the applause was naturally not especially hearty. and the comedians felt the absence of the more demonstrative approval man. ifested in the regular theater.
 One evening the queen sent an equer- " 10 Mir. Kean to know if the actors would like anything tmeansng refresh ments,. when the actor replied Say te her majesty that we should be grate- fuI for little applause when the spec tators are pleased.
 Back went the equerry and conveyed the message At the end of the act there was slight suggestion of hand clapping and exceedingly gentle foot tapping James Wallaek. who knew nothing of the message sent to the queen. hearing the mild demonstration, prieked up his ears and inquired. What k ttlals''
