INFIRMARY OFR DR. A. J. COOK, COUNCIIL. BLUKEES, TOW A. HRONIC DISKASES! Diseases of Women and Diseases of the Rectum a Specialty. The Dr. has been located in Coun- oll Blaffs nearly two years, and hav- ng been called professionally auring that time into the best families in the eity and sarrounding country, takes pleasurein an annourcing that he has come to stay, His conatautly increae- Ing practice at home, in the midst of his awn peoplo, is the beat evidenceof his skill as a SPECIALIST, snd he wishen it auderatood, once for all, that his methods of treatment are STRICT- LY scientific; that he deapises quack- ery as well among so-called ‘‘Regular”’ and ‘‘Homespathic” practitioners as among travelingcharlatans and “Cure- Alls,” He has devoted fifteen years to the study and practice ot his SPE- CIALTIES and has had the benelit of the most akillful training in° the best colleges and hospitals in the land, and has no hesitancy in promising the very best rosults to be obtaived trom scien- tificmedicine and surger; COUNCIL BLUFES SPECIALTIES. It most bo evident to every close obasrver that no one miuad, however gified, can grasp morc than a mere smattering of medioal science, The fisld 18 too large and the natural dlvis- {ons too namearons for anytning wore than & cars view of the vast obsta- oles to be mutered by ths “‘gasa- oral” practitionor. Wa have our em | inout surgeoas and our ewminent prac- titioners of modioine, «fier which fol- low the noted specialists, embracing the Eye, the Ear, the Throat, the Lungs, the Kidneys and Bladder, Dis- enses of Women, Insanity, &c, &e., any one of which requires years of pationt study and practice to insure | proficlency and ultimate success. The busy practitioner of to-day— | the *“family” physician—can no more embrace all these speclalties in his | practic2 and do justice to his patients than he ean “‘bottle up sunlight,” yet how many physicians in the western | country are PRRTENDING to do so, to the cost and injury of their patients. CHRONIC DISEASES. The Dr. does not pretend to cure ALL ohronic diseases. He claims, howaver, that years of patient study and practice, in the hospitalsand alse- | where, give him advantages in their treatment which no ordinary praoti- | tioner can possibly have; that he CAN OURE many cases now pronouncad INCURABLE by them, and give re lief to hund<eds of others whose dis- eases come within the range of his SPE- CIALTIES, He is propared to give the most approved electric treatment and medicated vapor baths, when needed. Parties res d ng at a distance, whose means will not admit of their taking a regular course of treatment here, wiil be furnished blanks with questions, which can be answered and returned to the Doctor, who will make up his disgnosis and give treatment if desired, but he much prefers to make a personal examination and treat all patients here, when possible, thus| avolding any chance of error in diag- nosis, The Dootor treats all forms of chron ic disense, without mentioning any| onein partioular, and has no hesitancy| in saying that he OAN and WILL give the best treatment known tomed:-! ical science, and charge only a reason able fee for his services, DISEASES OF WOMEN This is one of the SPECIALTIES to which the Dr. has devoted the best! years of his life, and hundreds of women, now living, are ready to testi' fy that they found reliof at his hands when others had failed to benefi: them, The “‘family” physician can- not treat these diseases successfully, for many imporiant reasons., chlef among which s, that he has not the time to devote to thelr study, nor the| patience to do ‘them justice. Nor| should it be expoeoted of him, In the absence, perhaps, of speclal traiain, and experiencs, and in the hurry an excitoment of general practice The Dr. is prepared to treat all fe- male diseases in a skillful and scientific manner, having devoted several years to their study and treatment, both in the hospital and in active practice. ' Diseases of the Rectum, These embrace Hemorrhoids, or| Piles, Fistules, Fissures, Prolaps, or falling of the anus, tumors, eic , eto., and constitute one of the Doctor's leading specinities. All rectal tumors| are treated by the new method of In- jecting and are thoroughly and speed- ily removed, with but littls or no pain Cases of Piles, from ten to twenty years standing, have besn permanent- ly cured by this new method, many of them residing ia and near the city at, " EPILEPSY. Many c ot Eoilepsy, or Fits, oan be cured if taken in time, and es pecially in young subjects. The within the last five years. cannot come to the city. TAPE WORMS,. Theso troubiesoma parasites can be removed in a few hours, with but lit- tle inconvenience to the patient. The Dr, will send medicines by express, with full directions for use, at any time they may bo ordered.. The Dr. makes no promises but what will be fulfilled to the letter. If practitioner should promise his Dr.|tients'—ii is all he CAN promise them does not claim to oure all cases that| come to him for treatment, but can| point to numerous instances where a permanent cure has been wrought Medicines will be sent by cxpress when patients and be honest. Partfos visiting the city for the pur- pose of consalting the Dr. should come directly to his office, where the best references in the city will be far- nished when desired, and whers pa- tionts will also bo assisted in proour- ing board and rooms at reasonable rates.

Detroit Free Press. *I am going to take you Into the largest faro room in the clty,” said the sport. ‘‘See all you have a mind to, but don't talk until we get out.” Through a saloon, past a clgar counter, to a billiard room; thence up a carpetod stalrway, at the top of which Old Sport stopped and ex- claimed: “Now use your eyes! See that heavy trap-door, fitted with heavy spring bolts, When that door 1s closed nothing short of & bLattering ram can break it open. It is held open by a light spring catoh, and that is cperated by a fine wire that runs along the floor, and down behind the bar, belng never out of reach of that bartender’s hands. If a policeman, orany one else whom they don't want up here, starts for this stalrway, down dror the door, and he don't come up. The stairway led to a well-carpeted hall, at the bottom of which was a green baiza door, Passing this the visitors found themselves in a large and well-lighted room—the lair of the tiger. Gamblers usually speak of faro playing as ‘‘bucking the tiger,” but 1f ml{ one imagines that the ani- mal is other than a fat, sleek, attrac- tlve-lookiug feline they mak groat mistake. Only the farry coat Is ex- posed; one must joln In the ph‘y in order to get a gllmpse of the fangs and claws, Upon the green oloth that covered » long table were pasted the thirteen oards that comprise a sult, there belng oonalderable space between them. m | his shirt front, a nobby sult of clothes; . | soedy. Back of this table, with his black soft hat slanted down over his eyes to shield them trom the light, sat a heavy built man, with an enormous spark in dainty, white hands, the leit badly emEted with diamonds; and keon, dark eyes that roved from end to end of the table continually. This was the dealer. At the right hand of the dealer, and near the end of the table, sits a man with a box before him that closely re- sembles a backgammon board. Aocross its two compartments upon wires are thirteen rows of buttons, four in a row, such as are used in counting bil- lards, They are here used to keep count of the cards used by the dealer. This individual s very large in the walstcoat, and his clothing s very His eyos are dull and watery; his face, though full and round, is sal- low and pimply, and in its cenier glows a bulbous noso that would sizzle it thrown into water, He is a happy man whenever some one asks him to take a drink, and the walter always brings him a tumbler fall cf whisky. This man is the case keeper, Opposite the dealer, there is a mot- ley crowd. Along the entire side of the table there Is a row seated, Be- hind these are others standing, The one v ho sits opposite the dealer, puff- ing vigorously at a cigar which poiats upward and outward from the corner of his mouth, {s a professional gam- bler, who wins and loses with such ap- parent unconcern as to suggest the probability that he ‘‘stands in” with the bank. Next to him on the lett is a grocer who acquired & passion for play while in the army, and he hasn’t spent & dozen evenings at home with his family in a dozen years, Next to him sits a bachelor lawyer who com- menced practice in this clty nearly twenty years ago, with excellent pros- pects. He isa good advooate, Is well up In the tricks of his trade and makes $3,000 to 4,000 per year, He might better be worklng somewhere for his board and clothes, for that is all he derives from his income, The re- mainder of it he contribates to the support of gamblers. He I8 a reckless player, and rarely goes home with a dollar in his pocket. That fine-look- ing yoang man is & commercial tray- eler from the East. One of these nights he will travel out of the coun- try, and then an eastern firm will commence Investigating with 8 view of ascertalning how much they must charge up to profit and loss to make thelr accounts balance. The two pale youths have each got & rich “‘governor,” but he doesn’t govern them wun{l a cent. They are ‘‘firing” his money with a liberal hand, That foul-mouthed fel- low who 1s loudly affirming that he broke a bank once keeps & saloon and lodging house on the Potomae, That stylishly dressed chap 1s a capper for the bank, and the bronzed, unkempt- looking man with him is a farmer who brought 1n a load of gonlny and hogs in the morning, which he has sold for :.fiod rice. The capper saw him ng them, and m to fall into oonversation with him, He has treated him two or three times, and is now taking him around to see the capper. ‘‘He's got some of the finest bourbon here you ever tasted.” Then, in a whisper: “It's free, too. Don't oost you & cent!” Proof whisky Is a stranger to the granger’s stomach Five minutes after he is telling that he hasn't played a “keerd"” sinpe he was a boy and used to play out in the haymow in the barn on Sunday. “‘Waa you lucky at cards?” inquired the oapper. “‘Yes, sireo, you bet I was. There waan't a boy in our nelghborhood that ocould best me playlng high-low-jack- in-the-game!"” “Say!" sald the oapper, nudging him in the ribs and poluting to the table, ‘‘there's thres kings come out loser in succession. There's only one more in the pack, and it's two to one that that comes out winner. Let's you and I put 86 aptece on it.” *No, I never gamble,” sald the farmer, as if half ashamed to own it. “That's not gambling; it's only making a bet that the kiug will come out & winuer; that’s all. Here, I'll ut up $5 for you,” and a $10 bill was aid upon the king. A fturn of the oards, and the king had won. The dealer threw out two new $5 bills, one of which the capper passed to the farmer, saylng: ‘‘There, I've made $6 for you in & minute, If & goan has got luck he can make more money here iv a day than he can ona farm in a year.” Meantime, the dealer had been shuflling the oards, and had dexter- ously placed a king the second card frow the bottom, a fact of which the capper was aware, “‘Goo on the king again,” he said to the farmer, “Even if you lose, you are even with the game.” Down went th, bill on the king, and the next instant the dealer placed a second five with th ) first, “You are lucky,"” eaid the capper. “If T bhad your luck, I'd break the bank before morning, Let's take an- other!"” With the second glass of the power. ful liquor departed the last vesiige of the farmer's caution, and he took a reat at the table, bought a stack of chips, and, guided by the ocapper, commenced playingrecklessly, Hewon, then lost, lost again, doubled his bet and won, lost once more, kept losing, and an hovr later his old wallet lay before him upon the table as empty as a tin horn, “I'm tired,” sald the dealer, yawn. ing, “It's time to shut up, gentle- men; so let's take a drink and go.” And outintothe street went the farmer, to reel to the hotel stable where hehad left his horses, drive eadly home along in the small hoars of the morning, and to go to bed with nothing but an aching head, and a bitter, very bitter, lesson to show for all the hogs and poultry he had raised in a season. The next morning he told his wife that he had his pocket ploked at the market. March On, March on to Victory. Under date of November 21, 1863, Mr, Alberd W.
