 "Orificial surgery is not new and it is no fad. It is a study of the waste and repair of the sympathetic nerve. Many people know they have stomach troubles or headaches or perhaps asthma; they know they are misera ble and that nothing helps them. More than half the families of the world contain some form of chronic invalid. It is to that great mass of sick people that this work appeals. It is on the ability to flush the capillaries that the great power of this work rests. It is not merely better ways of doing local work. but the ability to liberate the chronically sick from their thralldom."

Overton Colbert of Okla homa, Who is Engaged in Proving by His Own Elk ample That His People Are Capable

On a tour of the only section of the country not yet visited by him, the | southwest, Overton Colbert a twenty | ear-old Chickasaw boy of Oklahoma
 arrived in the city yesterday. He is on his way to San Francisco whence he | will visit Alaska and thence. the Pana- | ma canal zone. He is a sign and pie
 torial artist. Though his family is one
 of the wealthiest in Oklahoma and one
 of the most prominent. the young man
 is making his own way over the coun- ! try The tour is not one of curiosity ! but of study, a quest for local color. He is well educated having been graduated from the Agricultural and 1 Mechanical College at Saltwater, Okla. Next year he will enter the Massachu- setts School of Technology. His father l is the owner of several ranches in diff | ferent parts of the state. each a small
 empire in itself. Speaking yesterday 1 of his home he said it was all over the
 state when he was in Oklahoma, but he l has resided in New York and Wash | ington whence he has made trips wher- ever fancy dictated into the remotest parts of the country, through Canada ! and Mexico. He is pleasing and well informed tall1er.
 He said that he had the roaming n- stincts of his people to which was added the dissatisfaction of the artist at remaining in one place very long at a time. Since he was nine years of age he has spent the most of the time out of the state, at school. or in travelling. It was when he was nine that his
 mother died.
 He is related to former Governor Guy of the Chiclasaws and the present Governor Douglas F. Johnson He is a cousin of Ben Colbert, a member of the Rough Riders, mentioned by Colonel Roosevelt in his book on the Cuban | campaign and later. United States mar shal for Oklahoma.
 Speaking yesterday Of the popuIar misconception in the east of the status of the Indian he said that not long ago when he was visiting in Boston he was
 the guest of a lady who regarded him as curiosity. One day she asked him
 how long he had been civilized. He re-
 piled that he had lived in a state of
 savagery until about four month% pre-
 vious to his arrival in Boston. His aim in life, he said. was to im- prove himself and to benefit his people
 by showing to the world that the Indian
 is capable and iS not the lazy. purpose less character that many suppose him to be.
 He enjoys a pride of race on both sides My father" he said .fs half Chickasaw and half white My mother
