The ruling of the Public Service commission of! the state in the case of the Pittsburg West Virginia Gas which had applied for increased rates on gas for manufacturing purposes in the territory of Grafton and vicinity, is declared by many to be a severe blow to the industries of this and neighboring cities.

Explains New Medical System The Electro-Medical Doctors, located on the second floor of The Cameraphone at 347-349 Fifth as the najne implies, is an association of expert medical specialists and electro-therapists who have organized a new school of medicine. A new and more positive system of treating human ailments.

For centuries the world has been full of different v'cults" and "Isms" in medicine: we have had the old "root and herb doctor" with his bitter potions; the Allopaths with pills and quinine In heroic doses; the Homeopath with hia triturations and Infinitesimal doses; the Eclectic, the Osteopath; we were doctored by heat, by electricity; by baths at springs and by multitude of men and methods. Some of the patients were cured, some died who should have been cured. It was impossible for the average person to say which method of treating diseases was the best and the physicians of the various schools were so biased that they could see good only in their own methods of treating diseases; all others were necessarily bad. Evidently there is some good In all of them for they all cured some cases; also there Is bad in all for all fail at times and allow misery to remain and death to come when a cure should have been effected. A tremendous stride forward was made when the new system of treatment of The Electro-Medical Doctors was formed.

The founders of the new system of treatment consisted of specialists from the various schools of practice Eclectics, Homeopaths, Allopaths; regulars and irregulars, who dropped their personal prelu- i dices and formed a new system of treatment that embraced all the good points of the old methods and left out the bad. The result of the efforts of these specialists of the various schools Is the wonderful system of treatment now used by The Electro-Medical Doctors. All this was not accomplished in a day or week, but has taken years of patient work by these specialists In their various offices. Homeopaths, Allopaths, working side by side, each throwing away his old ideas when he was convinced there was something better, until at last out of the old' chaos and confusion came the new and modern system as is now used by The Electro-Medical Doctors. The loss to these specialists was great, not only by their labor of forming a new system of treatment, but also in the effect it cost them to Ignore their pride in the various schools in which they were educated.

But their reward has been great for they have seen health and happiness restored to hundreds and thousands pronounced incurable by old methods. The Treatment used by The Klec- tro-Medical Doctors Is They never use the knife. Only the! best and purest drugs ar.d chemicals are used by these specialists, their motto being that every sick person is entitled to the best medicines to be found in nature, regardless of cost. To obtain pure drugs they prepare all of their medicine in their own drug laboratory and every patient is thus assured a pure medl- cine, the best obtainable. To those who have followed the career of The Electro-Medlral Doc- tors, it is evident that a new era is dawning in the treatment of suffering humanity, and the day is not far dis- tant when Allopath, Homeopaths and Eclectics of the good old school inu-t drop their ideas and work more for the good of humanity and less for the glory or tneir particular cuit The day ts not far distant when medical colleges will be found to teach this new system to other physicians.
