Dear Old Boy:-I have rarely enjoyed
any letter more than yours just now

Yours was certainly a refreshing letter.
and so nicely written. Some good friend
of yours must have just wanted to do
you a favor and me, too.
Your. report about the present treat
ment of your eyes has done me good. If

would simply be all right. [ would GER

good one, and | would certainly stand
by him for doing his best on me, whether
he entirely cures or not. / have much
faith in the osteopathic treatment. 1t is
all nonsense for the medical profession
to try to knock them out. There are
thousands of cures of wonderful merit ac-
complished by them. One of your fore
most citizens was in such pitiable con-
dition that he would go to sleep looking
right at you, and he could not help it,
and his condition was growing worse
day by day, and the whole tendency
was toward softening of the BRAIN Our
osteopath begged the privilege of trying
his hand on him after a group of doctors
had pronounced the case hopeless. and

Why Doctor D. G. Williams,
Chicago Eminent Medical
Doctor, Took up the Study
of Osteopathy.

Before | studied medicine | was re-
porter for the Chicago Times-Herald
After l had practieed medicine for
several years we began to hear of the
wonderful cures that DR.. A. T. Still was
making out at KirksviIle, Mo. We be-
lieved it was some kind of hypnotism or
faith cures
As | had been one of their reporters
and was also practitioner of medicine,
[ was asked to go over to Kirksville and
show up what a fraud this DIR. Still
was. / was as honest in it as | ever
was in any undertaking of my life.
believed him to be one of the sEekest
of frauds. But I received my first jar
the morning 1 arrived.
| was going over 10 the infirmary and
who should | meet but an old patient of
mine, manufacturer of Chicago, who
for two years had been an invalid with
rheumatism. His limbs all drawn up
to his body, and he suffered intense pain
most of the time He could not rest in
a bed but slept with his knees on a pill
low and body leaning against chair.
AS he walked up to me that morning
looking robust and walking without even
a limp, my enthusiasm over the thought
that | would annihilate this 0steopathy
began to wilt and wabble at the knees.
| knew he was hard-headed business
man and that no one could work on his
credulity
He said he had been there for six
months, and after he had been there for
month he felt so sore and weak that
he was utterly discouraged, but others
who had been there longer told him it
was the saRe with them after they had
taken for short time they felt worse,
but it was only nature renOvating his
system and that he had found this to be
true and that a great many failed to
take long enough. But he was now en-
tirely cured and was intending to go
home soon. He cited me to so many
other patients who were suffering with
rheumatism, until l began to think it
was for rheumatism only. For it surely
is a success in that line, for I must have
met hundred cases and it was the
same story fromithem all
When 1 visited the Institutions l met
an old friend of mine, MRS. Foraker,
wife of Gov. Foraker of Ohio. She had
been there for some time with her son,
who suffered with heart trouble. She
said he had almost entirely recovered.
But what interested her most in Osteo-

Nv FAsHINGToN, d. G. Oct. /
w Our navy has picked up q
brand new idea and has
started in to put it to use on board OF
the latest battleships and armored
cruisers It is nothing more nor less
than a crabs eye contrivance for sight
ing and aiming the big turret guns.
Such guns, as most people have no
ticed. are mounted in pairs, two in a
turret. Our newest battleships, Of
Dreadnaught type, carry a dizen or
more of them-huge 12-inch fellows,
which weight 81 tons apiece, require
$40 pounds of powder for each dis
charge. and throw a 1000 pound pro-
jectile 10 miles
Hitherto. in using these great guns,
II has been necessary to aim them by
sighting with the help of little tele
scopes through Sits in the sides Of
the turret. This is awkward, because
there had to be at least three Sits
one for sighting each Of the formid-
able weapons, and a third for the man
whose duty it is to train" the turret,
swinging the latter into such position
as TO direct the guns toward the tar
get.
Now, one objection to this method is
that the Sits, being narrow. afford only
a very limited view. On the other
hand, the new crabs eye contrivance,
presently to be described, enables the
observer to gaze over all the surround
ing sea. No only, from his station in
the turret, can he survey the ocean on
all sides as far as the horizon, but
the crabs eye. being swung on ball
bearings, always remains vertical
whereas, of course. the Sits are con-
tinually moving up and down as tbs
ship pitches and losses in a seaway.
Old Method Was Poor.
One of the chief disadvantages OF
the old method is that the Sits weak

substituted, which does away with the
openings altogether, the aiming being
done by the help of a 'periscope" which
pokes its tube upward through the tur-
ret roof
The device in question is an adapta

Yes, 1 brought my wife to FL Paso,
and placed her under Dr. Ira W. Collins
at the Still Osteopathic Infirmary.
When the other doctors had given her
up to die with a. large ovarian alb
seess, which they said would kill her
with blood poisoning
The abscess left cavity as large as
your double fist.
The worst they said they had ever
seen
DR.. Collins freed the nerves to the
kidney and the temperature went right
down. Then he freed the nerves TO the
ovaries so they could drain themselves
and get blood around them and it has
healed up that great abscess until nv

know what Osteopathy can do for them
when suffering with various female
troubles.
ut has saved my life and I think It
is the greatest blessing ever discovered.
There are 81 others with female trou-
bles taking now out of 112 patients and
they are all doing well.
There is every kind Of trouble you
can think OF being treated here. blood
poisoning, liver troubles. appendicitis,
fits, eye troubles of every kind, lung
troubles, throat troubles, rheumatism,
and all kinds of asthma, paralysis OF
every kind, all kinds of diseases of little
babies, spasms and Indigestion
The people they have cured are all over
town and they say they only lose one
patient out of a thousand, while the
other doctors lose about two hundred
patients out of thousand.
Everybody who takes of them seems
smiling and happy and getting better
and speak good word for them.
They have been here seven years and
| they have surely done good work.
Just think of the blind people they
have cured that nobody else could, and
it shows that they can cure anything
else by getting the blood to circulate"

WHY DID WE MEDICAL D0CTO
STATES AND SIGNED BY FORTY
WHAT IS BEING DONE AT TIL
So many have asked that question that
we will give a little history of her
progress. When she was first brought
here she was entirely helpless and acted
just as little child, but she gradually
became stronger and her mind brighter
until she learned to read again and then
took up her art again and left me a
beautiful picture as a token of her APP
probation for being restored to her for
mer health and brilliancy.
1t was an interesting case to watch
the progress, both of mind and body, as
the paralyzed nerves began to come to
life under the treatment.
1t had caused female troubles, and
she shed tive tumors, after We had
Strengthened up the parts and freed the
nerves to them, SO they could drain and
have good circulation of blood around
them-just as the adenoids shed from
the nose when the new skin forms under
them when we cure bad cases of catarrh.
This shows that in female troubles an
operation is never necessary, as this was
one of the worst on record.
For the blood made every organ in
you, and can restore it again if you will
free the nerve to it SO it can force eircu-
lation again and build UP cell life
Just as we did in all the blind people
that the entire medical association pro-
nounced hopeless when they met here in
FL Paso.

that without glasses.

not included in these six thousand cases

them. seventy-five percent of these

The New Periscopes


For practical purposes, however the
new periscopes are more serviceable.
The navigating officer, instead of look
ing at a picture-a moving picture
which might often be confusing gazes
directly upon what is in view. If he
sees a thing. he goes for it or avoids
it. Just as if he were directing the
steering Of a ship on the surface of the
sea To him it becomes as much q
matter of course to steer correctly in
the liquid gloom beneath the waves as
it is to an everyday skipper to follow
his path over them.
The idea and mechanism Of the peri
scope were developed, in very large de-
gree. by Prof John Stuart Blackie. a
Scotch physicist of high reputation.
While greatly admired for mis- varied
/ attachments, he was also vecT much
/ beloved and today there sands at
Edinboro, On the top of hill, monu-
ment in his honor, which is perhaps
the most extraordinary memorial of

nothing more nor less than a gigantic
periscope-a lower 100 feet high, the
upper part of which is occupied by a
circular dark room and the requisite
| optical apparatus.
Overhead there is a lens, with a re-
down upon a circular plate of ground
glass II feet in diameter. So admirable
! is the instrument that all the sur
rounding country for many miles in
every direction may be seen on the
glass, which. as it is tilted this way
and that shows one section or another
of the landscape-the tastle, with
troops marching; different parts of the
city. with people walking about and
the wheeled traffic of the streets, the
suburbs. and so on.
Is Camera Obseura.
The contrivance. of course, is merely
a camera obscura-the primitive peri

It is a device in optics which preceded
photography. and which, indeed, led
to the invention of the latter art. But
the pictures it presents to the. eye
have a very important advantage over
photographs. inasmuch as they are
shown in brilliant natural colors.

NEW KENNEL CLUB
PLANS BIG SHOW

Forces and Receive Sanction
From Parent Body

San Francisco is assured of a big
bench show this year. 1t will be held
at the Auditorium on the afternoons
and evenings of May 4. 5. 8 and Z. and
it will be conducted by new organ
ization known as the Golden Gate ken
mel club, which was secretly formed a
few days ago. This will be good news
to the dog fanciers. many of whom
did not believe there would be a show
this year
The Golden Gate club is made up OF
several of the most prominent dog fan
ciers of this city and vicinity and will
be in charge of the following promi-
nent officials: President. Charles X.
Harley; first vice president. j. A. Fol-
ger; second vice president. Maxwell
Taft; secretary and treasurer. Robert
Wallace; directors. Alex Wo1fen and
Irving c. Ackerman
The new club has received the off,
cial sanction of the American kennel
club TO hold a show in this city next
month. 1t was generally understood
that the San Francisco kennel club had
about abandoned the idea of giving it's
annual exhibition, and this in a meas
ure. prompted the officers of the new
organization 10 go ahead with their
plans, form their club ard get the per-
mission of the parent body TO hold an

Fishermen Tempting the Game
SteeIhead With Spoon, Bait

By FRANK o'DoNNELL.

The trout fishing season opens today,
and the various coast streams in the
central and northern parts of the state
are being whipped assiduously by spoon
and bait fishermen, while the scientific
members of the angling fraternity are
trying to lure the game steelhead from
their native element with the artificial
fly. According to law sportsmen must
confne their activities for one month
to the coast streams, where steelhead
are found, as fishing for rainbow and
the other species of trout in inland
streams is prohibited until the 1st day
OF May. The numerous coast streams,
as rule, pay excellent steelhead trout
dividends in April, however, and If
water and weather conditions are any
where near right. good sport should be
had during the current month.
