STOMACH TROUBLE
ENTIRELY CURED
Hundreds of Cures Made Where Others
Have Failed.

DR.. o. A. Young no doubt is one of the
greatest Stomach specialists of the pres
ent age. He has spent many years and
thousands of dollars preparing himself,
so that he might be able to relieve the
many sufferers of this dreaded of all
diseases. He has learned that the human
Stomach is the most neglected and
abused of any organ in the entire body.
Thousands of people have so neglected
their Stomach and abused it to such
an extent that it becomes affected with
disease and can not do the work i'm
posed upon it; then they are at a loss
to know what to do; they try one pat
ent medicine after another with the
usual result that they get no relief, con-
tinuing to get worse all the time. Then
they are forced to see a doctor, usually
calling upon their family physician. He
can give them little encouragement or
help on account of his ineXperience IN
treating chronic ailments. He is just
the one to call when you have any acute
trouble such as fever and knows Just
exactly how to treat them. We all love
our family physician, for we remember
how he has saved our lives many times
when we were small; we all remember
how he treated that hole in our foot
caused by rusty nail; how he saved
our lives when we had Diphtheria, Scar
let Fever. Chicken Pox, the Mumps and
the Measles. but now since we have neg
lected ourselves and developed a chronic
trouble of the Stomach, Lungs, Kidneys
or Bowels he seems to be at loss to
know what to do He calls in several
of his physician friends or we go to
them, and they all say, "Diet yourself
don't eat this or that" when in fact you
are unable to eat anything, you go from
bad to worse until your condition be-
comes mcurable even by a learned Spe-
ciaIist, and you pass beyond this earth
to that unknown land above. Had you
consulted a reliable Specialist such as
Dr. o. A. Young q man who has devoted
his life to the treatment and cure of
chronic ailments such as YOU have, the
chances are that you would have been
strong and well today.
DR.. o. A. Young's six large office rooms
are crowded daily with sufferers, who
have chronic ailments such as you have.
He gives no false hopes; if your case
is durable he viii tell you so; if not, he
viii refuse to treat you even though you
should offer him many times what a
reasonable fee would be. He accepts no
ineurable cases for treatment. Consulta-
ton and examination are free to all. His
offices are over the Union Clothing Store
corner Oregon and San Antonio streets.

Senator Chamberlain asserted that
if an American fleet should be gath

require enough coal that could be
supplied from the Alaskan fields to
more than justify the building of the
proposed railway.

OFFICERS
ARRIVING INCOGNITo

Officers of the federal army that was
driven across the border into the United
States from Ojinaga last week are ar
irving daily in FL Paso. The majority
of them come from Maria, where they
board the train after making the over
land journey from Preside Groups
of four to eight are brought here by
nearly every G. H. train from the east.
They are all dressed in civilian clothes
and seem to be supplied with money.
1t is supposed that they eluded arrest
by the American soldiers at Preside
during the flight from Ojinaga and
made their way to railroad point
without being detained. FL Paso is SO
full of Mexican refugees at this time
that it is difficult to recognize the Off
GERS as military men,
At least 10 federal officers have
Joined the rebels in Juarez since the
first fight at Ojinaga, and more are ex-
Dected. A number of federal soldiers
who have arrived in Ell Paso have
offered to join the rebels it is said, but
so far only officers have been accepted.
