OUTRAGE ON PUBLIC

AMERICUs, Ca. Aug. 21.-The action

NEGRO STRUCK BY
AN UNKNOWN AUTO
At Hospital and May Die.
Machine Did Not
Stop

An unknown negro was found on
First avenue at the corner of Twenty
second street this morning about 1910
o'clock In a pool of his own blood. He
was rushed to the Hillman hospital in
the ambulance of the Bradford Under
taking company and placed on the OPP
Grating table. Latest Yeports from the
hospital this morning said that the man
was evidently in agony from internal
injuries and there Is some fear that
he may die.
A pedestrian, who found the negro
on the street and who notified the po-
Twenty-second street bridge he had
seen a fve-passenger automobile go
down First avenue at high speed and
Immediately afterward he stepped OFF
the end of the bridge he found the
negro.
A colored boy who works at the Mon
arch Livery stable, and the policeman
on the beat were both of the opinion
that the car was going over 80 miles
an hour. Patrolman j. b. Brown, the
policeman on the beat, said that he
saw the same car pass him at First
avenue and Twenty-first street and
that there were three white men on
the back seat. They did not slacl;en
speed after hitting the negro.
1t was the belief Of the police early
this morning that the car would be
found today from the description fur
nished by those who saw It. A negro
who was in the crowd that congregated
after the man was found said that the
latter's name was Sam, but he didn't
know the surname, and that he worked
at Hooper's cafe.

Federals Near Casas Grandes

Las Varas. State of Sonora, Mex.
July 35.-(By Courier to Douglas. Ariz
July S0.)-Suffering hardshlps akin to
those of Napoleon and his soldiers in
crossing the Alps, the Mexican federal
column of General Sanjines has crossed
the Sierra Madres. the modern Alps. and
is now within so miles of Casas
Grandes, the rebel capital of Sonora.
The column left Aqua Preita, Sonora
and Travelled southeast. 1t is now at
continental divide. General Blanco, with
500 soldiers, Is at Ojitos, 20 miles away
on the ranch owned by Lord Charles
Beresford of England.
Only small detachment of federals
was left behind General Sanjines at
Colonia, Oaxaca, with pack trains All
the federals that could be mustered
in northern Sonora are now here, ready
to march to Ojitos for mobilization and
then to advance to Casas Grandes, the
rebel capital. The expected reinforce
ments from southern Sonora for the
Sanjines command did not materialize
Some of the federal officials believe
the rebels are too strong for the fed
erals and that Ii was mistake of
the war department to order the col
umn in Chihuahua without reinforce
ments.
The trip over the mountains was ac-
eomplished by many hardships, Two
cannon had to be taken apart and
dragged by mules and at times soldiers
had to lift the cannon over rocks In

| Our bodies are composed of certain
forms OF lifeless matter and II lis In
credible that any good should accrue
by pouring some foreign matter into
this body.
| The modern method Of dispelling
disease is ably demonstrated by the
Advanced Medical Specialists of this
city.
At this institute these doctors are
demonstrating that they can success

the use of a single drop OF medicine.
1t Is to be remembered that these
physicians are practicing under diff

which have been given up by the other
doctors. But II Is something new: IL Is
something with which the public is not
fully familiar yet. the people have con-
timed along one groove for SO many
generations that 1t Is hard to leave
the beaten track.
Slowly but surely the public will be-
come convinced of the necessity of Civ
ing up the practice of i'll tpeating the
body by constant doses of strong medi-
cine and will adopt the more advanced
theory of using Natures Forces, such
az Telayita and Vibrogenator which
aids instead of weakens the frame.
In the Advanced Medical Specialists
offices are the offspring of the brains
OF thoSe great SCIENTISTS who have
sought to bring health to humanity.
We predict that in few years the
ordinary doctors office will be a thing
of the past and the doctors will collect
together in different institutes where
they collectively have the experience OF
their fellow doctors and also have the
use OF an equipment which will enable
them TO fight the battle against dis
ease In n modern and sane way.
Medicines are hard hit on every side
and the Intelligent physician OF today
has practically stopped using them to
a large extent.
The word health now means a nor
NAL supply of electricity In the body
and the word disease means an In
sufflciency of that power.
The pioneers of the 40's had a hard
time to open up the Golden West and
aence In the resources of that won
derful country But little by little they
won their way and now 1t stands for
tho greatest prosperity OF the United
States. And Just surely as the great
cities of the West built up, so Will the
Advanced Medical Specialists build up
until Ii will stand as a lasting men,
orial of the first large institute which
practiced the new method Of curing
disease.
1t will be but a matter of a few
on the days OF calomel. quinine, strych-
nine. liver pills. stomach powders. etc,
and these days will seem Just as differ
emit as the days of stage coaches.
Come now and be ahead Of your fell
low man. Each day you delay coming
means one more day of sickness and
one day less OF health.
