FORMS OF OATH

A Chinaman has been thus
sworn in: On entering the box
the witness Immediately knelt
down. and a china saucer having
been placed in his hand he broke
it. The officer of the court
through an interpreter then ad-
dressed him thus: You shall
tell tie truth a'd the whole truth,
and if you do not tell the truth
your soul will be cracked like the
saucer" A Mohammedan witness
first placed his right hand on the
Koran. put the other hand to his
forehead an brought the top of
his forehead down to the book and
touched it with his head. He
then looked for some time upon it,
and being asked what effect that
ceremony was to produce, an
swered that he was bound by il to
speak the truth. The deposition
of a Gentoo has been received who
touched with his hand the foot of

The Washoe county equalization

county equalizers will do. For
over twenty years they have
accepted the roll, excep as to
looking up mortgages, as it was

course, Elko county has been
fortunate in having perfect assess

Think of that, you who are preiu-
diced against Osteopathy.
A doctor in Chicago has been pro-
ducing in dogs almost any disease de-
sired, by eDerting 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 disIOcat;ons We find in
the spine and some of the common dis
eases which have been cured here. Out
Of this number we have lost but eight
cases. One Of them was a consumptive

had so far exhausted the little fellow
that when we did restore the circulation
he did not have enough strength to
