Alabama speak in the highest
terms of Drs. Dozier & Dozier
as physicians, surgeons and
gentlemen, and we have no
hesitancy in recommending
them to our patrons.

have extended their business
from year to year, and the
patronage given to them in
the surrounding states is
most gratifying. The Drs.
Dozier are high toned, pol
ished gentlemen.
Dixie Home: The progress
of medicine has been so rapid
of late that many have not
kept abreast with its marvel
Gus advancement. Not so
with Drs. Dozier & Dozier.
DR.. o. T. Dozier has recently
spent some time in New York
investigating and studying
the latest inventions in his
special line, and has pur-
chased valuable instruments
to aid in his practice. He is
up-to- date, and is not bound
by ancient customs. His son,
DR.. Byron Dozier, who is ask
sociated with him, is a
worthy son of a worthy sire,
and has already taken a fore
most rank as a surgeon in his
profession.

large experience in the pro-
fession, can be relied on to
treat diseases in a most sue
cessful manner.
The Southern Odd Fellow:
We cannot add anything to
the reputation Drs. Dozier &

brother Odd Fellows that can
be relied on to carry out ev-
cry promise they make to
those needing their services.

editor of the Democrat spent
several hours in Drs. Dozier &
Dozier's institute last Monday

demonstrated to be of benefit
to suffering humanity, they
have it, regardless of cost.
Electricity is now largely used
in medicine and surgery, espe-
cially in the treatment of
chronic diseases. The Drs.
Dozier have all the modern
electrical appliances and give
The most scientific treatment.
This institute is an old estab-
lished business, having been

years, and can be depended on
for honest professional treat
ment.

THE METHODS WE PUR-
SUE WITH OUR PATIENTS

THE METHODS WE PUR-
SUE WITH OUR PATIENTS
In ancient times the art of
healing was relegated to the
supertitious efforts of priests,
sorcerers and magicians. All
diseases were regarded as
either work of evil spirits or
to the possession of devils,
and it may with truth be yet
averred that thousands among
the laity and many among the
ranks of the physicians OF to-
day are still cropping in super
stitious darkness, relying upon
"faith cures" Ch ris t j a n
Science, patent medicines and
other unreliable and unscien-
tific means to dispel morbid
conditions and restore health.
With all such we are CHART
able in condoning the faults of
their simple faith; but prefer
ring the light of reason and
philosophy, we base our every
effort upon the solid founda-
tion of such demonstrable
facts as are to be gathered
from a study of physiology,
pathology, chemistry and acol-
ogy. At the same time we are
independent of all particular
"parties, and are welded to
no one special school of prac-
tice, but disdainful of none,
we stand ever alert, with eyes
open, ready to grasp and
adopt any fact or truth of ben
eft to the sick and afflicted,
without regard to the source
from whence it comes. or the
nature of the thing or thought,
whether it pertain to psychic
influence, to the effort of and
result of heat, light, electric
ity, massage or the wide range
of materia medica, embracing
aleopathy, homeopathy, cleo
tropathy and hydropathy,
and, without prejudice or
favor, using anything and ev-
erything which intelligent ex-
pertinent has proven of value
in curing disease and prolong-
ing life, our main purpose and
supreme aim being to give to
each and every patient COM
ing to us the very best of
whatever treatment will most
effectually subserve their
needs.
If for this we receive the
censure and criticism of the
clanish inclined regular, of
the medical profession, who
insist that we should adhere
to and confine our efforts to
some one school of medical
theory, we have no other ex-
cuse to offer than this: That
we feel a deeper degree of
solicitude for the sick than
for the reputation of any par
ticular school on,earth.
WHY NOT TRY A SPE-
CIALIST?
If you have been unwell for
a long time, and have not Sc
cured relief from your family
physician, or if you have a
specially obstinate disorder of
any organ, why not GO to a
specialist, who, by reason of
special study and long expe-
rience, has learned just what
is best to be done for that
particular trouble?
You go to ajeweler to re-
pair your watch, to a gun
smith to repair your gun, to a
machinist to repair your
machine; then why not go to
a specialist in chronic diseases
to be cured, rather than to a
general tinker on all diseases?
If you take your watch to a
carpenter, and he ruins it, you
can do without a watch or buy
another; but if u trust to an
incompetent docvur to repair
some delicate organ OF your
body, and he lnakes a botch
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-07-01

OF the case, you inlay loSe youi
life or live on for many years
a victim of your own folly and
of his incompetence.
Not only are we prepared
by education and experience
for our special line of work,
but we are fortified by the
very best of all scientific de-
vices to aid us in diagnosing
the diseases Of our patients,
which is of supreme import
ance; and then we are also
equipped with almost every
thing which science, art and
skill has produced for aids in
effecting cures.
We are, therefore, not only
competent, but fully prepared
to successfully treat and to
cure those whom other less
favorably prepared doctors
fail to cure.
WHY WE FURNISH MED
ICINES WHICH WE
PRESCRIBE
It is a notorious fact that
many druggists will substi-
tute," i. e., put up something
which they may Rave on hand
in lieu Of what the doctor
prescribes or put in some
thing less expensive than that
prescribed, and sometimes in
competently fill the prescrip-
tion by leaving out some inn
portant ingredient; thus, in
many instances, thwarting the
efforts of the doctor, making
his efforts impotent, when
otherwise success would have
been attained in relieving his
patients. Then, too, the drug
gists have a habit of placing
on file prescriptions which
are not always kept private,
but open to inspection Of
store clerks and to doctors,
and thus frequently cause the
exposure of the patients NAL
ady, which he might for very
good reasons wish to keep
private from the public or
prying individuals. Such ex-
posure of written prescrip-
tions, which in the majority Of
cases indicates the malady for
which they were prescribed,
has been known to cause law
suits, divorces, to invalidate
insurance policies and to pre-
vent marriages.
We therefore deem it of the
highest Importance for our
own reputation and the well
fare of our patrons that we
compound and furnish all
medicines required by those
who come to us for treatment; !;
and to this end we have on
hand and always carry a large
stock of personally selected
drugs, medicines, chemicals
and medico- surgical supplies
for the benefit of those whom
we serve. Thus we protect
our patients from the mis-
takes, exposures, substitu-
tions and exorbitant charges
of druggists. And by so do
ing we have not only sub
served the interests of our pa
tients, but have achieved a
success in effecting cures in
advance of doctors who write
prescriptions and trust to the
competency and honesty Of
apothecari-

SURGERY-ITS USES AND
ABUSES

While we recognize and
fully appreciate the fact that
surgery is now and must
ever remain an indispensable
factor in the art Of healing,
and that surgery, under a
great many conditions, is the
one only absolute essential
means and medium of eradi-
eating diseased tissues and
organs, remedying deformi-
ties, repairing injuries and
relieving certain morbid con-
ditions, we have, neverthe-
less, kept our senses and have
not joined in the mad rush
and soulless mania for cutting
which so characterizes the
average sugeon of the present
day. Terrible as is the fact,
it is nevertheless the truth,
that a thirst for fame, noto-

A WORD TO WOMEN
If you suffer with prolap-
sus, painful ovaries, imper-
feet menses or other troubles
peculiar to your sex and are
told by your doctor that an
operation is necessary to eff
feet a cure, we advise you to
consult us before being oper-
ated on, as we can, in 95 per
cent of such cases, effect a
cure without resorting to the
use of the knife or other pain
full or dangerous methods of
treatment.
We have cured a great
many women of their dis
tressing maladies even after
they had been assured by 9th
er doctors that only by surgi-
cal operation was it possible
to stay the grim monster,
death. And yet we did cure
them without the shedding Of
a drop of blood or causing
one tingle of pain-cured
them by a simple plan of sci
entific, common sense treat
ment, which will effect cure
of almost all female disor-
ders when properly en-
ployed. Every suffering wo-
man should write to us or
come to see us and learn what
modern scientific methods can
accomplish for those who are
afflicted with the diseases pc
culiar to their sex. Hun
dreds of women are every
day being sacrificed to the
madness of modern surgery.
who could be cured without
pain or danger if properly
treated by a specialist famii-
lar with female anatomy and
with the functional distur-
bance to which the special
organs Of women are subject.
Don't be dicouraged till
you have tried our treatment.
and if we fail to cure you you
are then truly a subject for
pity, for cure cannot be had
by you.

tion has been brought about with the
 advent of the white man Into the country; the natives have contracted his disease, with the result that de- generation and demoraiization are rapidly exterminating the native population. AS a proof of this asser- ton pr. Krulish points out that the native population of Alaska decreased 145 per cent. between 1900 and 1910.
 The causes leading up to this are found in the unsanitary condition of most of the houses in the villages. crowded and unventilated, where the inmates eat from the same disa. drink from the same teapot spout and expectorate son the same floor. The advent of civilization even into Alaska Is evidently not altogether blessing. The imposition of the advantages or disadvantages of one race on another usually leads to the gradual elimina- ton of the weaker race.

The Nome Chamber of Commerce only did what it owes to itself and the town and district when 1t appointed a committee to join with fhe committee of the city council to>meet the excur- slonists who will come here next month. The telegraphic advices told us yesterday that the president of the United States has recognized the i'm portance of such visit and Nome would indeed have placed itself in a peculiar position If it had neglectei its obvious duty in the matter
 An organization such as the cham Der of commerce is vitally impor- tant to any community. Not only should the business and professional men of cities be members of such bo- dies but mining men should also take an active interest The greatest pos sible good can be done by having some organization to keep the resources of n country always before the minds ol outSlueTs. II tne DuSliieSS Ilen ol all kinds do not take such affairs in hand it is certainty that the pulcrs never will and that the locality will suffer incidentally.
 It is always evident that business men are poor in attendance at meet ings. Most of the time they are oc- cupied with some matters which take up all their attention and when meet ings come around many of them are ought to remember. however. that what Is good for the community gen. erally is good for themselves individu- ally.
 The committee to be appointed 1y the president of the chamber of com merce will soon be at work preparing in conjunction with the city council committee for the reception of the distinguished visitors. It might be not amiss to suggest that the, visitors have described to them the resources of all parts of the peninsula. Get those magazine men going in the pro- per direction and never let them be- lieve that the resources of Alaska end when one arrives on Seward peninsula. Let the personal representative of the president see our railroad and let him know what 1t would mean to have the mileage tax taken from It. Show him that all the peninsula Is as rich in resources as any part of the territory and that we need help to reach our full development. Nome has a splen- did opportunity if it only wakes up to 1t. The men Nome needs at work are the men who have the interests of the district at heart.

probably we will be able to worry along in spite of the loss of several million dollars worth of belts. The protection of fur seals probably does not make a very strong appeal to the citizens of Anacortes, anyway, as the fur bearing animal as well as his light clad brother of warmer climates probably kills more salmon in the course of a year than the sum total of the seasons pack. Salmon Is staple article of food for all classsc while seal skins are luxury for a few.
 The maritime nations of N ,rthet1 Europe, where the fishing industry is of great importance. formerly pro tected the fur seal. but that animal reduced the fish supply 10 such nE extent that the production wts re- moved. Since then the number of fur seals has been reduced and the ash catch Is becoming larger every year.
 Thus. Anacortes does not "view with alarm" any reduction of the seal herds of the North and shoul. the time come when the fish supply be- gins to fall off Anacortes may join in a big protest against the protec' :on of the solmon's most deadly enemy Exchange

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 20, 1918.

mass meeting of the people of Nome and the whole district decided last night that the mining bill passed by the Alaska legislature should be repealed or nullified They decided this by vote which was practically unanimously. less than half dozen people voting the other way out of hundreds that crowded the city hall.
 It seems to be evident from the words of the members of the legisla- ture who spoke about the bill that they are not prepared to discuss 1t without having the copy of the bill before them. This fact leads to the belief that bills were voted for by members of the legislature before they were fully cognizant of the full text of such bills. There were more than a hundred bills altogether presented to the legislature in the sixty days ses- sion and 1t Is apparent that the legis- lature could not fully discuss bills at the rate of three per day. It would not be just to condemn the members hastily. They probably voted honest ly and with the intention of doing the best they could but 1t would be impossible for them to study so many bills and do them justice. The fault has been with the Alaska legislature that has been with many other new iegislatures-they went in for too much eeislation-they decided too much for quantity and too little for quality.
 When the assessment clause of the bill was first published in thef Nugget this paper stated that the section would infiict damage on poor men perhaps more than rich men as the poor man could not meet the expenses of patenting so we'll as the. other This view seems to be the view of the great majority and the meeting las t night was positive proof of tho fyct that the bill should never hay. been passed without at least having ttS op- inions of the people whom 1t affected.
