Missionary Jubilee
Here Next Sunday

On next Sunday. Nov. 10Th, at
eleven o'clock a. m. in the Baptist
church there will be a missionary
Jubilee Rally conducted BY the wom-
en- of the Episcopal. Presbyterian.
Methodist and Baptist churches Of
Brookhaven. The women of
America are this year celebrating
the fiftieth anniversary of the .or-
ganization of Woman's work for
the evangelization of the heather
world, and in this Jubilee celebra-
tion are making an effort to place
the great work done by the women
in the past fifty years, before the
women of today in such a way as
to inspire and encourage us to even
greater things for the future.
These meetings are being held in
the large cities of our country, on
a very elaborate plan, and in some
measure in many Of the smaller
cities and towns.
The women of Brookhaven do not
want to be one whit behind those
of other communities in showing
their interest in missionary work,
and their appreciation of all God S
goodness to them. and have fallen
in line with this jubilee movement
by planning a meeting of their
own. 1t is the earnest desire Of
those who have undertaken the
matter that it shall be notable
one, and that it shall be attended
by every woman in Brookhayen and
vicinity.
The program arranged will be Of
interest to all attending and is to
be participated in by representa-
tives of the churches named and
the young ladies of these congrega-
|tions will lead the singing. The
gentlemen are cordially invited,
Isince their approval and co-opera-
tion means much to any work
which the women project.
Let every person VINO reads this
notice take 1t as a personal invita-
tion to be at the Baptist church on
Sunday. Nov. 18th, at eleven
o'clock and participate in the pleas
ures Of the occasion.

These same conditions have been found

The above shows that the medical
doctors have Just begun to find out that
diseases are caused by the rheumatic
and eongested condition of the spine
which pinches the nerve so it cannot
carry on circulation in the part. Then
this breaks out in sores to drain out the
blood and you have disease
of whatever part the nerve goes to- This
exhausted condition of the nerve which
causes the igaments around the spine

to draw down and pinch it is alwa

to draw down and pinch it is always
caused by some incorporate excitement
of the nerve. Either taking some pois-
onous drug or stimulant until you ex-
haust it, or some poison from some one
else's body who has disease and the
poison from them goes to the exact spot
to be thrown out by them and exhaust
the nerve and they have the same dis
ease.
so ALL DISEASES ARE CAUSED
BY EXHAUSTING THE NERVES TO
THE PART. And the Bible is right
when it says: BE temperate in all
things" And, BE cleanly." And by
having an Osteopath free these nerves
you can be RESTORED OF ANY DIS
EASE.

scess, which they said would kill her
with blood poisoning.
The abscess left a 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 il has

troubles.

is the greatest blessing ever discovered. :,
There are q others with female trou-

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 200 patients
out of thousand.
Everybody who talks of them seems
smiling and happy and getting better
and speak a good word for them.
They have been here seven years and
they have surely done good work.
Just think rof 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.

Washington, D. c., Associated Press.
At a meeting of Associated Public
Hospitals Managing Physicians today,
DIR. Ross, Superintendent Hospital, Buf-
falo, New York. said:
There was given in our Hospital in
America 800 percent less drugs than
ever before in their history, and many
new Hospitals now have no drugs given
in them
Think of that, you who are preju-
diced against Osteopathy.

will excite as much curiosity as a can

Relationship Between Rectal Diseases
and Those of the Female Pelvic Organs.
DIR. j. P Tuttle says that disease of
the rectum and female pelvic organs
may affect fInctionally or sympathet-
ically any portion of the body. The
propinquity and anatomical relationship
between these parts would naturally
lead one to anticipate a close relation
ship in their pathological affections.
Traumatisms of one are likely to in
wade the other. determinations from one
are liable to extend to the other di-
rectly or through vascular connection.
The chief symptoms to which attention
is called are pelvic and sacral pains,
irregularity of function, inguinal or lilac
tenderness, pains shooting down the legs,
reflex pains, digestive disturbances, and
mental and nervous affections.

a sick man by poisoning him. He gave
him calomel that ate his liver into
ulcers. Of course the man is dead now.
Six thousand of them died In five
years here in Ell Paso, while only eight
out of 5000 at the Dr. A. T. Still Osteo-
pathic Infirmary. Pneumonia is so easy
to cure by Osteopathy-
A doctor in Chicago has been pro-
ducing in dogs almost any disease de-
sired, by exerting a pressure on the
spine, drawing it in different directions
and holding it there until it becomes
fixed, then the deadened nerve produces
the disease by stopping the circulation
to any one organ.
We cure all diseases by removing
these pressures from the nerves and
blood vessels, and allowing Nature TO
build UP new. cell life, and perfect
health is the result

of the principal dislocations l find III

nhoid fever and spinal meningitis which
had so far exhausted the little fellow
that when we did restore the circulation
he did not have enough strength to
rally. But we think it an excellent rec
ord notwithstanding the loss OF these
eight. when we consider that 10 per

INSANITY.

Case 6. Young
man who had an at ~
tack of Ia grippe,
which had drawn IA
the sixth vertebra in NkasnnEfR
neck so that it in
terfered with circu-
lation OF blood to
the head. and he be- 4
came violently in
sane. This was
Strengthened and the case cured.
We find these dislocations in differ
ent parts, causing congestion that gives
rise to different kinds OF insanity. In
some cases we find it takes several
months treatment, while in the case
mentioned above, 10 days was sufficient
to restore circulation. Constant think
ing on any one subject viii draw much
blood TO one part Of the brain as 20
cause insanity on that particular sub
iect. IF the patient can be kept from
dwelling on that subject and the ex-i
element is no longer there the verte-1
bra will restore itself and circulation
will become normal IN the brain, and
the patient becomes rational again. As
in the case Of Harry Thaw, who, when
Waite-the cause of a rush Of excess
blood to a part of his brain-no longer
existed, he became rational again Near
" all cases of insanity are durable by
Osteopathy.
