CANADIAN MARATHON
 TOMORROW WILL BE
 AN OLYMPIC TRYOUT

Canada's long distance running classic, the Hamilton Spectator Mara thon, will be held tomorrow at Hamil- ton, Ont, under the auspices of the enterprising newspaper that originat- ed the event. What the Patriots Day Marathon at Boston is to the United States and the Polytechnic Harriers Marathon is to Great Britain, the Hamilton long distance race is to the Dominion. It is held each year on Empire Day, May 24, and always attracts sonic of the best North America. Unusual interest attaches to tomorrow's running of the great amateur contest, as it will serve as a tryout of the contestants who seek the honor of representing Canada in the Olympic classic. At mitted tomorrow, as they are not all lowed by the Olympic rules. Since 1909 the Hamilton Spectator has given trip to England as a prize to the winner. Ed Cotter of Toronto was the first to receive the coveted honor, and made the trip to Englant in 1910, but after he reached the Marathon was called off because of King Edwards death. In 1910 the Canadian Marathon was won by Mike Ryan, who wears the colors of the lriSh-Amerlcan Athletic club of New York. He was sent to England last year by the Spectator and finished second in the Polytechnic Harriers' contest. The winner was Harry Green of the Surrey Athletic Club, who finished in hours, 46 minutes, 29 4-5 seconds, while Ryan's time was ? hours, 50 minutes, 45 seconds. Ryan was the winner of the Boston Marathon last month, covering the classic distance ing hours, 21 minutes IS 1-5 seconds, breaking the Boston record in spite of very sticky track. Ryan will head the United States Olympic Games Marathon team at Stockholm. Ryan's time at Boston was about half an hour better than the Olympic record, hours, 51 minutes 23 3-5 seconds, established by Snoring of Canada in the Olympic games held at Athens six years ago. Sherring later became a professional. The Olympic Marathon will be held at Stockholm on July IA. England and the United States have already selected their teams.

FILES CIIRED

It is with a heart full of gratitude and the hope that others may learn of your great cure that I write this. I was a sufferer for years with that horrible disease. piles. l suffered so much l became nervous wreck. I had to quit business. All doctors told me 1 must be operated on, and in my misery and distress l made arrangements to go to a sanitarium for an operation. Just as l was to go my sister telephoned me about the Electric Doctors. and insisted that I go to them. l went to them in despair In a few days I was relieved of all suffering, could sleep like baby-a thing I had not done in months-my appetite returned and I could eat like a convalescent from fever gained nearly 30 pounds in weight, and, in short, am cured, and in better health than in years. I suffered no inconvenience from the treatments. Other mem bers of my family took treatment with gratifying results. I met large numbers in their offices and all gave praise to these Doctors.
 II is my sincere prayer that all sufferers like me may learn of this cure and be restored to health.

GALLsToNEs REMOVED

l had suffered for years with gall stones. No one but one similarly affected can imagine the suffering produced by this disease. I was treated by family doctors. They called in consultation and finally decided l must go to the city and be operated upon. One of my physi- clans went with me to Birmingham and took me to a hospital, where was examined by the surgeons and told an operation was all that would save my life. In the meantime l learned of the Electric Doctors, and preferring death at home with my children to death In hospital away from them (for I felt death would result from the operation), l went to the Advanced Medical Special ists. In 24 hours the gallstones had been removed and without pain or confinement to bed I got relief from my suffering in few hours. It has been over four months now and I have gained in weight, and appetite good and feel well and strong, doing my own work.
 I am very grateful to be saved for my family of small children, and urge all sufferers to try this won- derful treatment.

"The old school doctor has had his day" said Dr. Osler. His meth ods belong to the mystery and su- perstition of the dark ages. Most physicians of today are doing just what the doctors of thousand years ago did-dosing suffering hu- manity with poisons. Any man who thinks for himself knows that pois- ons cannot build up health. They will give temporary relief by stupefying the nerves, but they don't remove the cause of disease
 By way of Illustration: If you had a fine watch and some part of its mechanism broke, would you try to mend 1t by filling it with oil? No, you would take it to the best watch maker and have him find the cause of the trouble and repair 1t. Your body is far more delicate mechanism than any watch. It Is the most com plicated machine on earth, yet when some part breaks down or falls to properly work. you try to make 1t go by doping yourself with pois
 onous drugs. All of the vital or gans, including the heart, stomach, kidneys and liver are run by power called nerve force. Any doc tor will admit that. Nerve force Is just another name for electricity. When any of these organs break down or become inactive sickness or disease results. Now you can't cure the trouble until you remove the cause-repair the part that is broken down. The only way to do this is to give nature the power to do it. All you need is the natural motive power-electricity 1t will restore this motive power wherever lacking; all pain and disease will disappear That is the only natural way of curing The reason so many

 Some of the members of the board of aldermen are reluctant at holding such an affair, as they claim 1t will entail too much expense on the city, inasmuch as all of the city employees who were on the team have been granted full pay while away. but the more generous ones, 1t is thought, will prevail upon the others to realize what honors came to our country with the string of victories made on the other side.
