THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1895. GOLD GOING ABROAD, Transfer of the Reserve Across the Atlan- tic Ocean. LOWEST EBB YET NOTED. Nearly Eight Millions Below the Amount Required by the Treasury. HELP EXPECTED FROM BANKS Meanwhile There Is a Steady With- drawal of the Yellow Money for Trade Purposes. SHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27.—The y gold reserve has been reduced 5,067, at which figures it stood when the treasury closed its doors to- These figures were reached to-day by a withdrawal at New York for export of §1,- 500,000. Since the present gold movement began on July i3 last, there has been withdrawn from the United States Treas- u 2,450,000, all of which, with the ex- ception of less than $1,000,000, has been sent to Europe. The total gold exported exceeds these figures, as some gold, es- pecially the gold bullion exported,was fur- nished by the banks of New York. During the same period gold was fur- nished by the syndicate and by the New York national banks to the amount of $15,- 825,000, The figures to which the treasury gold reserve have now been reduced by inces- | sant exports areflower than since April 30 last, on which date they were stated at $01,247,144. Under the syndicate agree- ment gold was then being paid into the treas and from that date the reserve increased up to June 29, when it attained its maximum height this year, standing at $107,512,362. From that time the gold reserve has gradually declined until to-day’s figures were reached. The treasury officials decline to discuss the | prospects of further gold shipments as the | situation is very much mixed. The present | movement appears to consist chiefly of | legitimate exports with not much more than a tinge of speculative motives ap- | parent. No uneasiness and no anticipa- | tions of any emergency arising sufficien to make necessary another bond issue are | entertained in well-informed treasury cir- | cles. While no official information can be | obtained on the subject, the belief is en- | tertained that the national banks of New | York may cbme further to the relief of the treasury next week and strengthen the | gold reserve by $10,000,000 or so. | Government officials are persnaded to believe that within a month the number of commercial bills that will be on the market as a result of the exportof American | cereals and cotton will turn the tide of ex- | change and stop gold exports for some | time to come. The situation, however, is 80 kaleidoscopic that no one here whose | opinion is worth quoting will express an | opinion for publication 40L0 DODGE OF DUTES, Scheme of a Galveston Com-| pany to Import Free Asphalt. Senator Gorman Supplied With Campaign Funds to Carry Out the Scheme. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27.—The Collector of the port at Galveston has | forced the Barber Asphalt Company to go before the General Appraisers at New York | and show cause why they are not com- pelled to pay 20 per cent tariff on asphalt imported for street-paving use. This is | the rate of the law prior to the passage of | the Gorman bill. The leading attorney for the Barber Company ‘arranged’’ with Senator Gor- [ man for free asphalt, this being well known | at the time the Senator was making deals with various interests, the consideration being in the Barber case that the company | put up funds to the Senator when he | should claim to need them in politics. The | attorney worded the clause in the bill cov- ering the matter, and it isclaimed that the company, according to the arrange- ment, has put up money to Gorman in his Maryland fight, now on. It happens, bowever, that the company bas secured contracts since the passage of | the bill on the basis of free asphalt, and | on the contracts thus secured the tariff | would be over $400,000. The accusation is | made that some of the administration | Democrats in Maryland fighting Gorman have set up the scheme for the Galveston | Collector to insist that the old tariff pre- vails, by way of crippling Gorman in his money supplies and munitions of war. —— Of Interest to the Coast. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27.—Pen- sions have been granted as follows: Cali- fornia: Original widows, etc.—Cornelius R. Eldridge, Petaluma, and Eldridge, Banta Rosa. Mexican War widows—John | Ann Jacobs, Oakland, Widow Indian wars—Loucretia M. Eastman, Petaluma. Washington: Renewal and increase— Robert Young, Puyaltup. Original widows —Alma L. Stone, Seattle. A postoffice has been established at Doerun, Colquitt County, Or. prshtedsid el Schofield’s Retirement. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27.—Ad- jutant-General Ruggles to-day notified the officers of the army on duty in Wash- ington that in anticipation of his retire- ment from active duty on Sunday next, Lieutenant-General Schofield will be at bhis headquarters in the War | bore a child. | returned again, but he had had enough of | the death Department at 3 o'clock to-morrow after- noon to take farewell of the officers who may then call upon him. The occasion will be purely informal. His successor has not been announced, but the general impression is that the command of the army will devolve upon Major-General Miles, now commanding the department of the East. — T CALIFORNIA. DECIDED AGAIN Hoke Swmith’s Ruling in Reference to Swamp Lands. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27.—The Secretary of the Interior to-day rendered a decision against the State of California in acase which was of considerable impor- tance to that State. He denied a motion filed on behalf of the State for a review of the department’s decision of July 6, 1892, which rejectea the application of the State to select” for school purposes indemnity lands for certain townships made fractional by reason of portions thereof being swamp and overflowed. California is the only State in the Union in which the swamp land grant antedates the school land grant, and the decision of July 6, 1892, held in ef- fect that the State being already the bene- ficiary under the swamp land grant as to he Jands in question couid not select unaer another grant—the grant for school pur- poses—indemnity lands already received. Srageri To Build Torpedo-Boats. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27.—Secre- tary Herbert has awarded the contract for building two torpedo-boats to Herreshoff at $144,000 each. Congress authorized the construction of three torpedo-boats—one to be built on the Atlantic Coast, one on the Pacific Coast and one on the Mississippi River. There were no bids received from any ship- builders on the Mississippi, and an agree- ment was entered into with Herreshoff to construct two of the vessels. A bid has been received from a company on the Pa- cific Coast, but it is still under considera- tion. COVERNOR STONES BOOW Friends of the Mississippi Stateman Name Him for Vice-President. However, He Says That His Ambi- tion Is to Become a United States Senator. OMAHA, Ngsr., Sept. 27.—Governor J. M. Stone of Mississippi, who, with his party, is being entertained by the Commer- cial Club to-day, brings to the city a Vice- Presidency boom. He himself declares he is not responsible for this. When asked if he was a candidate or was about to an- nounce himself as a candidate he said: “I have not thought of such a thing and 1 have no suspicion that anything will in- duce meto become a candidate. 1 am avowedly a candidate for the United States senatorship from my State. That is the only office T would like to have. Even were I qualified for the office of Vice-President I would not seek it, because I would not want it under any circumstances.” But the Governor's friends are deter- mined to make him a candidate whether he will_have it that way or not. Speaking for them Murray F. Smith of Vicksburg, general attorney for the Yazoo and Missis- sippi Valley Railway and a member of the party now here, says: “You may say that Governor Stone is our candidate for the Vice-Presidency, and that we will present his name to the next Democratic National Convention.” Regarding the sentiments of the South regarding the silver question Governor | Stone acknowledged that Mississippi wasin favor of silver, but said he believed the sentiment of the South was against silver, and added that he believed there was a change going on in his own State in favor of sound money. ‘‘And,” he said, “I don’t believe that if the Southern States were tested there would be more than two or three in favor of silver at this time.” Coo o REGAINED ONE WIFE. William Sargent Grew Weary of the Enoch Arden Business. VANCEBURG, Ky., Sept. 27.—William Sargent and Rose Evans were married a few years ago,and a few months after- ward the young husband left for the West. Two years later word was received that he | was dead. The supposed widow remar- ried, and a few days afterward Sargent returned. He acquiesced gracefully in the arrangements, and began to pay court to Mary Evans, a younger sister of Rosa, and soon married her. A few weeks later Sargent left again for parts unknown. After two years’ absence he was re- Eorted some months ago to have been illed in the Cuban war. Thereupon Mary, regarding herself free, married Charles Simpler, by whom she recently Yesterday morning Sargent the Enoch Arden business. He demanded Mary. She was willing; so was Simpler. At noon Simpler left for Ohio. leaving Sargent in full possession. e But Meyers Is Alive. ELWOOD, Ixp., Sept. 27.—Excitement was occasioned here this evening by a statement made by Dr. Thomas A. Cox, who has been charged with the murder of his nephew, Thomas Myers, to obtain $8000 life insurance, to the eifect that Myers ie alive and that he has been with him all summer since the alleged death and burial. Dr. Cox says he will sue the Supreme Lodge of Foresters at Toronto for $100,000 damages, and will begin action in the United States District Court at Indian- apolis. e Cholera in Japan, YOKOHAMA, Jaray, Sept. 6.—On the 4th of August 669 cases and 444 deaths from cholera were reported in the empire, inclnding 44 cases and 26 deaths in Tokio, 18 cases and 8 deaths in the urban districts of Kyoto, 15 cases and 16 deaths in the urban districts of Osaka, 3 cases and 1death | in Yokohama and 11 cases and 10 deaths in Kobe, e Death of a Kercan Diplomat.

Apollinaris “THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS.”. “First in Purity.” BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL. LOST THE FRANCHISE. Murphy Turned Down by the Western Ball League. FIGHT FOR MINNEAPOLIS John Goodenow Captured the Plum After a Bitter Struggle. OTHER PRIVILEGES GRANTED. Magnates Complete a Thorough Re- organization for a Perlod of Flve Years. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 27.—The fight for the Minneapolis franchise occupied nearly the entire time of the Western Baseball League magnates to-day. It resulted in the franchise goingto John Goodenow 1n place of the former holder, T. Murphy, who will, however, receive liberal compen- sation. Bix of the eight franchises were definitely granted, and the remaining two will probably go to Omaha and Columbus. Toledo is making a strong fight for one, but is not thought to stand much show of getting it. The result will not be known until to-morrow, as the whole of to-day was taken up by the committee appointed to decide on the franchises. No general meeting of the managers was held to-day and the report of the committee will be presented to-morrow morning. The league will be reorganized for a period of five years, and following is a list of the towns and holders of the respective fran- chises: Detroit—G. A. Vanderbeck. Indianapolis — Indianapolis Baseball Com- pany. Milwaukee—Milwaunkee Baseball Club. Paul—St. Paul Baseball Company. ansas City—Kansas City Baseball Company. Minneapolis—John Goodenow, P, P. Watson, Maurice Haines. Omaha—D. A. Long, Columbus, Ohio—George E. Ellis. Omaha and Columbus have not been definitely admitted, as an application from Toledo, by John Carney and othérs, will be considered at to-morrow’s meeting. The consensus of opinion among the dele- gates is strongly in favor of Omaha and Columbus. President Johnson alleges that one of the chief reasons for taking the Minneapo- lis franchise from Murphy was owing to his connection with the saloon trade. It is probable, however, that the internal dis- sensions which have prevailed in the Min- neapolis Association during the past year have had considerable to do with the change. Grand Rapids will join the Michi- gan State League, and consequently made no application to retain the franchise. D. B. Johnson of Cincinnati was re- elected president, secretary and treasurer for one year at a largely increased salary. He will deyote his whole time and ener- gies to the service of the association. Each club will be required to deposit $100 with the treasurer as a guarantee fund to be held for five years. As in former years clubs will make a return of 10 per cent of the gross receipts in each game as a sink- ing fund. The meeting will end to-mor- row. FUN WITH Chicago Players Won Very Easily From Cincinnati CHICAGO, IrL., Sept. lots of fun with Buck Ewing’s men to-day and won easier than did Cincinnati the day before. Rhines was batted freely and at the right time, while the new colt, McGar- land, had the visitors under his thumb at all times. Both teams put up a good field- ing game, the feature being a fine running catch by Burke. The weather was too cool for comfort, and less than 600 people saw the game. Score: Chicagos 11, 15, 1; Cincinnatis 6, 8, 1. (Game called at end of seventh inning on account of darkness.) Batteries — McFarland and Donohue; Rhines, Gray and Vaughn. Umpires— Emslie and O'Day. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 27.—To-day’s game was one of the best played here this season, The Browns won on merit. Dowd’s catch of Beckley’s fly almost against the center-field fence was made at a greater distance from the home plate than ever before seen here. Attendance, 600. Score: St. Louis 7,12, 2; Pittsburgs 3, 8, 2. Bat- teries—Breitenstein and Otten, Hawley and Mack. Umpire—McDonald. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27.—Bos- ton had it all her own way with Gilroy in the first inning to-day, and he was re- lieved by Malarkey, who did good work. Nicbols intended to pitch for the visitors, but after he had made a hit in the first in- ning he retired from thegame. Banks, the Bostons’ new twirler, who succeeded him, showed up well. The game was called on account of darkness. Score: Washingtons 2.7, 7: Bostons 14, 8, 2. Batterles—Gilroy, Malarkey and McGuire; Banks and Ryan. Umpire—Hirst. ILADELPHIA, PA., Sept. 27.—Phila- delphiasand Brooklyns played nineinnings to a tie to-day, the score being 14 to 14, and then the game was called on account of darkness. In the ninth, when the visitors had three men on bases and witk two out, Anderson knocked the ball over the right- field wall. Score: Philadelphias 14,13, 6. Brooklyns 14, 15, 2. Batteries— Lucid, Grady and Buckley; Kennedy and Grim. Umpires—Murray and Henderson. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 27.—A great crowd saw the Baltimores and New Yorks break even on two games at the Polo grounds to-day. The first game was very exciting. It was finally won in the ninth inning by the locals, when with one out Stafford singled and scored on a tremen- dovus drive to the ropes by Farrell. Score First game: New Yorks 7, 8, 2. Ball mores 6, 10, 0. Batteries—Rusie and Far- rell, McMahon and Robinson. Umpire— Keefe. Second game: New Yorks 2, 5, 3. Baltimores 7, 11, 2. Called at the end of the sixth inning on account of darkness. Batteries—Meekin and Farrell, Hemming and Clark. Umpires—Burnsand Clerkson. e MAY FIGHT IN BOSTON. Pugilists Win an Interesting Case in the Courts. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 27.—The Superior Court of Massachusetts rendered a de- cision on the law regarding prize-fighting to-day that has the most important bear- ing of any chronicled in the statutes of the East. The test case was the battle for the welter-weight championship of the world last month, when Joe Walcott, the colored champion of this city, knocked out Dick O'Brien of Lewiston, Me. Immediately after the battle, which was witnessed by the Superintendent of Police himself and nearly gll the members of the board, be- sides other city officials of high rank, the two principals were placed under arrest, and in the municipal court the next day they were bound over to the seszion of the gsnoxlzsnor Court, their bail being fixed at The case has been before the Grand Jury for four unis, the effory of the police being to show that a glove-contest was a prize- fight, and that as one of the principals was knocked out it was doubly so in this case. The main question on which the decision held was the reading of the statutes in re- gard to prize-fighting. The statutes under which the defendants were indicted gives nothing as a prize-fight unless fuught with bare knuckles, but that licensed set-tos were perlectlg legal. This being the case the jury had it within their province to dacide as to how far the law would be con- strued. The claim of the defense was that the contest was a boxing exhibition for scien- tific points and that every proggr precau- tion was taken against injury being done to either of the antagonists. The jury was out four hours, and at the end of that time gave itas their decision that the fight was perfectly lawful and in keeping with the statutes. This decision is one of the most remarkabie ever given in an Eastern court and definitely settles the right of prize- fighting to continue in Massachusetts, and tue result will be that in the future it will be the arena of all the boxing carnivals in the East. iy ON THE EASTERN TRACKS.

The next three games will be played in Baltimore October 7, 8and 9. The Champions think it best to begin in Cleveland because the weather becomes very cold early in Octo- ber and because they want to be in Balti- more for their benerit atthe Harry Acade- my of Music on October 7. This arrange- ment will make it convenient to play off the odd game of the series in Philadelphia or some other Eastern city should seven games be necessary to decide the series. The Baltimore players prefer Philadel- hia, but the question must be referred to 810\'&]“\1 also. ——— TO0 MAKE FIGHTING A FELONX. That 1s One Prediction of What the Texas Legislature Will Do. AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 27.—The procla- mation issued by Governor Culberson late last night convening a special session of the Legislature next Tuesday, to pass an- other iaw against prize-fighting, was the popular topic to-day. It was said to-day that Populists and other political oppo- nents of the Governor may defeat his plans by enacting a law to go into effect in ninety days. Representative Ward said to-day that the Legislature would undoubt- edly pass alaw to go into effect immedi- ately, and it would make prize-fighting a felony. He thinks the law will be passed within a week after the Legislature meets. P e MADE A GAME EFFORT. Alix, the Swift Mare, Failed to Lower IHer Record. SPRINGFIELD, Itn., Sept. 27.—Alix made a game effort to beat her record at the State fair grounds track this afternoon. She got off well at 3:30, and the first three- quarters were made 1n 8 2:08 gait; but coming into the stretch she went lame, and the best that she could do was 2:073 official time. Over 20,000 people witnessed the attempt. The world’s pole-team-irot record was broken. Effie Powers and Prestoria Wilkes, owned by D. Brenner- man & Bro,, of Decatur, Ill., went the mile in 2:123, lowering their own record of 2:13%{ made last Tuesday on this track. e As to Races at Roby. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., Sept. 27.—The petition of Edward Roby before the Su- preme Court to-day for a rehearing of the case against the Roby Racing Association was overruled. With this action the last hope of the defendants to secure a reversal or even a modification of the opinion is dissipated, As the law is now construed by the courts, all persons are prohibited from holding a race-meeting oftener than twice within a period of fifty days, whether the previous meeting was held by the same or by different persons. Fitzsimmons Ready to Fight. NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 27.—Fitz- simmons and party leit here to-night for Texas. He will not accept Houseman as referee. Fitzsimmons is in fine condition. He claims that Brady urged Governor Culberson to interrupt the- fight. Fitz- simmons boxed with ber to-day at the Young Men's Gymnastic Club. He says that if Corbett backs out he will fight Maher or any man in the world. R ZLowered British Records. LONDON, Exa., Sept. 27.—At Catford to-day A. W.

BATILE OF CUBANS Attack of the Spanish on a Camp at Piedra. REBELS DRIVEN AWAY. Antonio Maceo Moving Toward Villas With Forces of Cavalry. BARACOA IN A STATE OF SIEGE. No Less Than Two Hundred Thou- sand Troops May Be Sent to the Island. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. 18 (via Key ‘West, Fla., Sept. 27).—Official reports from Guantanamo say that on Monday, the 16th inst., a Spanish column attacked the rebel camp at Piedra, between the Felici- dad and Rio Sew, occupied by 800 in- surgents under Leader Gil, and killed eight of the rebels before driving them from their position. Three Spanish soldiers were wounded. When the Spaiards took possession of the rebel camp they found several explosive shells buried, but they were dug up before any damage occurred. Itis reported here that Antonio Maceo is moving toward the Villas with 6000 cavalrymen. Another rumor is to the effect that Jose E. Maceo is dead from heart disease, but the report 1s not credited. The Govern- ment is very silentin the matter, whereas, if the reports were true, it would be pub- lished officially with much rejoicing. The recent recruits from Spain are not likely to be of any material benefit to the authorities. Of those who arrived a few days to-day many have died and numer- ous others are in the hospitals. Six suc- cumbed to yellow fever within twenty- four hours of their landing here. Those of the recruits who are yet able to move about the streeis are, because of their unclean- ness and drinking habits, likely to be in hospitals or graves within a short time. From Baracoa come reports showing that city to be in a state of siege and threat- ened with extinction. The insurgents do not allow anything to enter the city from the outlying districts, and if the city is not burned out its inhabitants stand a good chance of being starved out. On the 14th inst. the rebels broke the aqueduct and burned the costlh elevators which were re- cently built. Many business men with their families have left Baracoa and come here. One of them reports a dastardly double murder on the streets of Baracoa a few days ago. A soldier loaded his gun and without any known cause deliberately fired at a cor- poral, killing him instantly. Another soldier who was with the corporal was also shot and killed. HAVANA, Cusa, Sept. 27.—Cablegrams from Madrid, just published by the island press, give additional information as to an extension of Admiral Bereagers pontoon service to a part of the south coast. The new locations are as follows: La Caleta, Baitiguira, Puerto Escondido, Guantanamo, Rio Limones, Guanito, Nigura, Vicana, Guayabal, Junco, Ya- guabo and Santa Maria. In Madrid in political circles many rumors are current regarding the Canovas Ministry. Senor Romero Robledo, Minis- ter of Justice and Mercy, who has proven an enemy to the Liberal policy in the Cuban matter, has found & formidable ad- versary in the Duke of Tetuan, Minister of State. Itisan admitted factthattne Duke of Tetuan is in perfect accord with the Liberal views of General Martinez Campos, that he unqualifiedly indorsed the latter as worthy of entire and absolute confidence. At an early date the Government will make an official statement regarding the revolution in Cuba. Itis affirmed thatat the latest it will terminate in May next. On the 16th inst. the Ministry in Madrid agreed on a policy with that end in view, and, if necessary, the troops now in Cuba will be re-enforced by 150,000 to 200,000 men. Colonel Carrero of Madrid says that the moderate policy represented by Martinez Campos inspires all with greater confi- dence than ‘‘the policy of extermination recommended by badly advised people.” The Madrid newspaper El Impareial, in referring to the cost of the army in Cuba, fixes the present expense at $1,500,000 per month, adding that when the active cam- paign begins in the dry season (November to May) with nine brigades the monthly expense will be $3,000,000, At present the outlay for quinine alone for the troops is $50,000 monthly. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., Sept. 27.—A special to the Times from Tallahassee, Fla., says: Governor H. L. Mitchell is in hearty sympathy with Ouba’s struggle for liberty. Replying to a question from the Times-Union correspondent this evening, he said he thought the United States Gov- ernment should recognize Cuba’s efforts to throw off the yoke of Spanish bondage and accord to her all the rights of a bellig- erent. He thinks that Congress will do this when it meets, if such a step is not taken before. —_— - MORA';, DRAFT PAID. Spain Lost No Time in Making Final K Settlement. S WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27.—The Mora draft has been paid and the money is now subject to the order of Secretary Olney. Less than two wee:;ngo on Satur- day, September 14, the Spanish Minister, Dupuy de Lome, gave the draft on the Spanish finance agent in London to acting Secretary of State Adee, the time for its delivery according to the demands made by Secretary Olney expiring Sep- tember 15, which date happened to fall on Bunday. Secretary Olney returned from his vacation the following Monday and took charge of the case. The Secretary, it is understood, forwarded the draft to New York for transmission to London on the first steamer, and the prompt way in which it was paid shows that there has been no attempt at diplomatic delay in settling up the account. This afternoon’s cable to the Secretary | announced that the draft was paid to-day and the net proceeds (§$1.449,000 in goldg gl-eed to the credit of the Secretary o tate in the sub-treasury of the United States at New York. With the threat of suits impending, a prominent official this afternoon made an- other sugeestion, which was that an invi- tation be sent to all known claimants to meet in conference and settle their claims amicably, otherwise the final distribution may have to drag its weary way through the courts. e Great Britain in Earnest. LONDON, E~G., Sept. 27.—A dispatch from Shanghai to the Pall Mall Gazette says: Great Britain at length appears to be in earnest. There are now five war- ships on the Yang-tse-Kiang and four more ships will join them on Saturday. L B FIRED UPON BY A SPANIARD. Three Shots Sent After. the British Steam- ship Alene. NEW YORK, N.

LONDON, Exa., Sept. 27.—The Morning Post to-morrow will pr,nt a dispatch from Constantinople to a news agency saying that an Armenian named Guedjian, who claimed to be a naturalized citizen of the United States, was recently sentenced at Aleppo to a long term of imprisonment on the charge of being an emissary of the rev- olutionists. The case was similar to that | of the Armenian Muradian, also a natural- ized American citizen, who was arrested recently at Cons(antinofle on a like charge and who was expelled from the country after being released from prison on the de- mand of United States Minister Terrill. In the case of Guedjian the United States Consul at Aleppo_ was not atlowed t0 visit the prisoner, anH Mr. Terrill, upon learning this, informed the Porte that such refusal could not be tolerated, and he de- manded a stay of execution of the sentence until it could be ascertained whether Guedjian had forfeited the rignt of protec- tion by the United States. The Porte eventually instructed the authorities at Aleppo to allow the Consul to investigate the case and to visit the prisoner. —_— FOR A COLONIAL ARMY.

What the Specialists Are Doing to Re- store Health and Strength to Sufferers. Itis an established rule of the Institute that no incurable diseases are taxen. If an appli- cant is found to be suffering from true eancer or tubercular consumption he is frankly told that he cannot be cured, though much may be done to allay his sufferings, but as medical science has yet failed to discover any care for these two dreadful maladies all the physicians of the Institute say freely and frankly that it is beyond human power to remove these evils. Nevertheless it should not be forgotten that there are many instances where mistakes have been made in diagnosing these diseases, so it is well for all sufferers to apply for help at the Institute. A1l the Following Cases Are Curable: Catarrh of the head, stomach or biadder; all bronchial diseases; all functional nervous dis- eases; St. Vitus’ aance: bysteria: shaking palsy; epilepsy: all venereal diseases: all kinds of blood troubles; ulcers: wastes of vital forces; rnenma- tism; gout: eczema; all skin diseases, from what- ever cause arising: psoriasis; all blood poisoning; varicocele; poison oak; lost or impaired manhood; spinal trouble; nervous exhaustion and prostra- tion; inciplent paresis; all kidney diseases; lum- bago; sciatica; all bladder troubles: dyspepsia; in- digestion; constipation; all visceral disorders, which are treated by the depurating deparyments. pecial instruments for bladder troubles. These are a few of the special diseases in which exceptionally remarkable cures have been made by the specialists, and it may frankly be stated thay a helping hand s extended to every patient, Cirenlars and Testimonials of the Great Hudyan sent free.
