SUFFERED FROM
SKIN ERUPTION

Mr.. Alexander Copper. OF 314 Ban
croft Avenue. Brookiand Park, con-
tracted terrible skin disease, which
spread over his entire body in spite
of the efforts OF a prominent special
list, Of another city. to check it. Mr..
Copper had been tortured day and
night for over two months by the
ceaseless itching and burning of the
eruption, had become SO weak and
rundown that he was compelled 10
stop work, and was a physical wreck
when he consulted DIR. Tafkin. He said
the disease made him so repulsive that
members of his own family would shun
him. After being treated by DIR. Tai
kin. he says: Almost as soon as L
commenced DIR. Talkin's treatment
began to improve. In less than two
weeks the eruption had entirely dis
appeared, and all signs OF the terrible
disease had left me. My skin, once
mass of sores is now as firm and clean
as a baby's, and ] am now ready to
go back to work again. all due to the
science and skill of DIR. Talkin.'

SO bad, one or two of them wonle
help me for few days, but the
trouble would always come back. and
soon would be feeling worse than be-
fore they treated me. Lately I've been
getting much worse. so when / saw In
the paper that DR.. Taikin had brought
relief to many sufferers, came to him
to see if he could do anything for me.
And he certainly did, there's-no doubt
about that. He's only been treating

longer and / had given up all hope of
her ever getting we'll. I read in the
paper that DIR. NJ. Milton Talkin had
located in Richmond Well / brought
her to him here in his offices and told
him all about her trouble. or as much
of 1t as | understood---how her heart
and kidneys bothered her. and all the
rest. She would have pains In her
back, and would have to get up all
through the night on account Of her
bladder She suffered a lot with her
heart, too: it would beat so loud and
ra pid at night after she had gone to
bed that II made me feel very uneasy.
Then she had a bad cough and would
have terrible vomiting spells some
times. so that nothing she ate would
stay on her stomach. She complained
of severe headaches almost all the
time, and was SO weak that the least
exertlon she took would tire her out
and get her all out of breath, and she
was cross. and fretful all the time.
Then We had to take her from school.
AT last in despair as I've said, 1
brought her 10 DIR. Talkin, and / am
truly thankful that / did. Almost az
soon as he began treating her she be-
gan to improve. Now she Is whole
lot better in every way. She eats and
sleeps we'll and her kidney trouble
has almost entirely disappeared. In
fact, she's beginning to look and feel
like her old self again. Dr. Talkin
saved her life. beyond a doubt. and I
consider 1t a great blessing that car
ried her to him." sszsEg 80

SUNDAY TURNS PURITAN
!. BOSTON UPSIDE DOWN

Boston, Dec. 2.--The Rev. William
Sunday. the noted Billy Sunday.
with top-notch batting average In
big league baseball of former days
ana now an evangelist of record.
breaking fame. Is fast turning cold.
Puritanical Boston into the most siz-
cling, enthusiastic Sunday campaign
city that the great religious hard
hitter has yet waged his battle with
sin.
He has broken all his previous rec
ords during the first two weeks of his
Boston campaign. BILLY" is tickled
all up in heap over his big Boston
showing. The climax of achievement
will come IL he Is able 20 turn Boston
into the no-license column in the De-
cember city election. His most en-
thusiastic admirers here do not be-
lieve this possible. but Billy Is slam
ming the rum sellers at every meeting
and tremendous crowds of men are
coming out to all his meetings. This
trend has caused great anxiety among
the local liquor interests.
AT the first meeting Sunday held
here for men only" there was an at
tendance of 1900. and when he
asked for trail-hitters. LAO men
walked down the sawdust trail and
pledged\ themselves to the Christian
HE. This Boston record Is compared
with the following first call for. men
trail hitters in other cities:
Philadelphia, $40: Baltimore. SCI;
Syracuse. 425; Detroit, 1885, Kansas
City, 169.
On the fourth day of his trail-hit-
ting campaign Sunday scored the fol-
lowing results in Boston:
Morning. meeting, 1887; afternoon
meeting, I.225; evening meeting
LOO: total for the day, s,7o2; pre-
vious converts. $3.50; total TO date.
7.332.
The number of trail hitters in other
cities where Sunday campaigns have
been held, compared with the number
in Boston for the corresponding four
days. is:
Boston, 1882: Detroit, 2,2s4; Phil
adelphia. 1.645. Baltimore, 1.5T4;
Kansas city. 1858: Syracuse. 1856.
Boston's contributions towards the
expenses of the Boston Sunday cam
paign have reached s2s97469, the
largest amount ever collected at sun
day meetings for corresponding
time. sunday has been heard in Bos-
ton by $4,000. This number smashes
all previous records
Complaints are already made that
the tabernacle built here liz altogether
too small. Al many meetings thous-
ands or people are turned away.
