8 SPORTS The recent cycling tournament at San Jose is affording wheelmen much food for reflection. The people of San Jose who paid admission to see the races are indignant because the crack riders made no effort to win and that loaling was principally indulged in. Football will soon be inaugurated. The college teams are practicing daily for winter games. The Reliance Club will soon journey to the East.

Sportsmen are winding up the trapshooting season, and one month from tomorrow game birds will receive a warm reception. The decision of Judge Angellotti of the Marin County Superior Court in reference to a poorly constructed county ordinance was read with much pleasure and interest by lovers of deer shooting. The Olympic Club will give a boxing tournament in a few weeks, which will be open to members of the Pacific Association. A proposed race between crews of the Pioneer and South End rowing clubs may soon be held on the Long Bridge course. THE WHEELMEN.

Three Road Races From San Leandro to Haywards To-Morrow. The early rain came in the nature of a surprise to the cyclists, and those who were training for the three road races to be held over the San Leandro-Haywards course to-morrow had to suspend their work for the time being. But as little active training is done the last few days before a race, it will hardly affect the condition of the men. Yesterday having been warm and sunny, with probabilities of today and to-morrow being the same, the. road should be thoroughly dried up, and, if anything, in even better condition than if the rain had not fallen.

There was no disposition to postpone the events for such a trithng matter, and they will all be run off as if nothing had happened. The afternoon has been selected as the most desirable time, as there is usually a good wind at the riders' backs which facilitates speed. Full data of the three races will be found further on. There is a rumor which is now pretty well verified that Thomas H. B.

arney will open the Panorama building, at the corner of Tenth and Market streets, as an immense cyclery. It -vi" certainly be that, judging from the size of the place. The location is good and Mr. Varney should do a big business, as he is very popular with all wheelmen and the public in general, and the wheel he handles the that popularity with him. Another report, which should interest every one connected with cycling, is to the effect that a combine is being formed by I the Pope Manufacturing Company (Columbia), Overman Wheel Company (Victor), Devany, Hopkins Co.

(Steams). Thomas B. Varney (Rambler) and Edwin Mohrig (Phoenix) to upliold the priceof hijih-Erade wheels for 1890 at the present figure ($105) and to control installment sales so that no wheels will be sold at less than $35 down and $15 a month. So you wio have intended buying a wheel at $10 do'vn and 50 a week, more or less, had better be quick about it or the golden opportunity may fadeaway that is, if you intended buying one of the wheels represented it this combine. The racing season on this Coast is not over by any means.

Next weelj, on the 19tb, 20tl and 21st, there will be three days' radnc at Napa, at which all the cracks wit compete. The entries close tonight with the secretary ef the Napa club. The track there is fast, and if the meet is well handlgi it should be a credit to the sport and to the racing men; but it is on the Pacific Cyclist circuit, and the poor attendance at Oakland last Saturday and at Gilroy Tuesday would not indicate that that is much of a drawing card. Still, the Napa clutis a healthy, active organization, made x.p of the best young men in the city, and ai they have had experience at handling lace meets they certainly should promote this one, with credit to themselves andthe sport. Evidently the San Jose public was not in sympathy witi Foster and Jones when they tried to Long out of a race there last Monday.

The two riders were loudly hissed at the time, and now the San Jose Mercurysays editorially: "The San Jose public has no more use for fake cyclers." "The people of San Jose will not be in a hurry to again put up good money to see fake bicycle races." "The managers the recent bicycle meet in this city express themselves as also dissatisfied witik the character of that meeting. They say that the fault lies with individual riders, anl with the rules of the National organization, which certainly must be very defective if they cannot prevent fake racing." To all of which we only say, hear, hear Wheelmen of two years ago will remember the same was experienced at the Midwinter Fair tournament. There was a team nearly all of whom were clad ir. orange suits, of M. F.

and Julian Pye Bliss of Chicago, Otto Ziegler T. 8. Hall, R. L. S.

Wells W. A. Terrill, W. H. Haley and F.

To see the seven last ramed on the same tetm now, would makj the club man faint from sheer astonishment. However, they were team mites then, aid it was the first team ever on the Ccast. Club feeling mattered nothing forthere were Bay Citys, Olympics and i San man together. Their purpose sc banding together was to win racts on the wheel they all rode and Wiqeby adveitise it. They were fairly successful, though J.

h. Alexander of Jose upset their plans by winning the invitation, the race of the day, arAC. L. Davis. Harry F.

Terrill and T. A. also made it hot for them. There no class Aor in those days (happi days). But the spirit shown then awofe so much antagonism among wheelmen hat the advertisement proved a bad one.knd the team was greatly reduced in nuifcer.

It was the largest racing team in the country. To see Jones ad Foster trying the same tactics at San Ji on Admission day recalled those old uileasant memories of '93 in the minds oiui ho remembered the incidents, and 4 reception the two men received was nattering, to say the least. A good story went theronds about that time concerning the two Tejjll boys. For some reason Harry TerrilJ, tp and nO w) one of the crackerjacks of coast, and who could beat Foster, Wells or anybody else at a quarter refused to the team, although his brother Will did. The latter was mainly instrumental in nearly crowding Harry off a curve, and he didn't like it a bit.

So ne went to Will's tent after the race and told him what he thought of him, gave him a lecture on brotherly affection, and threatened corporeal punishment galore if the latter tried it again. As Harry is a champion boxer weighing 180 pounds, Will considered his words well, decided he was right, told him so, and thereafter the two brothers were inseparable. The following new members have been elected by the Bay City Wheelmen: Howard P. Taylor J. B.

Ritter, Horace Slater, Charles Wesley Reed. A. W. Wallace and Frank C. Herrick.

With five more members the limit will be reached, and then those who desire to join the club will have to await their turn. The Royal Cycling Club has issued neatly WILBUR J. EDWARDS OF THE GARDEN CITY CYCLERS. printed invitations for its smoker, to be held this evening at the Tempie, Turk street, above Tavlor. Admission is by invitation only.

The club has secured an exceptionally fine list of talent which will appear during the evening. The committee having charge of the affair is composed of H. Stcrnberg, J. Lubin, H. Breightstein and M.

Lichtenstein. James Whartenby McClure of the Bay City Wheelmen, who was well known in wheeling circles here several years ago, has returned after an absence of several years in the East. Mr. McClure is wealthy and has been touring for health and pleasure. The members of the Bay City Wheelmen seem to be always on the move.

Harry F. Terrill will leave for the East today to join his clubmates, C. S. Wells and W. A.

Terrill. on the National racing circuit. 'Will Knippenberg came up from Los Angeles last week and returned yesterday. Horace Sperry is in Fresno on business. Mitchell M.

Shields returned to Los Angeles Thursday after a visit of three weeks. S. H. Knapp now resident in Fresno, was around to the club for a little while, "just to meet some ef the old guard," he said. Charles W.

Hammer of Santa Cruz was in town recently, the euest of Sanford Plummer during his visit. 'Dan O'Callaghan has started on a trip around the world. The rive-mile handicap road race of the Outing Road Club will be run to-morrow over the straightaway course from San Leandro to The entries and handicaps are: C. Taylor 114 minutes, E.

The Outings have a run called to witness the road race, leaving on the 9 a. m. broad-gauge boat. H. A.

Goddard of the Bay City Wheelmen has sworn out a warrant charging one B. Egenberger of Alameda with battery. Goddard was riding his wheel toward San Leandro Thursday evening, when he met Egenberger and two friends on foot, somewhat intoxicated. As he passed they reached out and grabbed him from his wheel, and as he was riding very fast, the effect can be better imagined than described. He was considerably bruised by the consequent fall, and the wheel was wrecked.

He learned the names of his assailants, and besides the battery case will enter a civil suit to recover damages for the broken wheel. The League of American Wheelmen will prosecute botn cases, this being one of the advantages of membership in that organization legal protection. President Tooker and the directors of the Imperials are arranging various entertainments for the members during the coming winter months, and altogether things look very bright for the wearers of the royal purple. Wilbur J. Edwards of the Garden City Cyclers, San' Jose, is a racer who is known all over the United States.

For a long THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1895. time he was the champion of this State, but gave up racing to attend college, and then re-enteied the lists after his graduation. In 1894 he was on the Columbia National circuit team with Bald and Mc- Donald, but a couple of unfortunate falls incapacitated him, and be returned to California. After a good rest he made up his mind to try for the world's mile straightaway record, and brought it down to 1:34 1-5, which stands to-day as the fastest mile ever ridden on a bicycle. That he is still the topnotcber he always was, is evidenced by his riding at Oakland last Saturday, when he defeated Foster, Jones, Slater, Hall and half a dozen other celebrated class men, and repeated the performance at Gilroy last Tuesday.

He will ride at Napa on September 19, 20 and 21, and his friends predict he will have things his own way. Personally he is one of the most gentlemanly racers on the track quiet, unassuming and modest, with never a complaint to make if things go against him, or an excuse if he fails to win a race. I No wonder the Garden Citys are so proud of him. The Call Bicycle Club now has a membership of seventy-eight. It is proposed to establish clubrooms downtown, which will he elegantly fitted up with all the conveniences necessary to a wheel club.

To-morrow the club will havf a run to i Haywards to witness the three road races. The Imperial Cycling Club has moved into commodious jnew quarters at 614 Van Ness avenue, near Turk street. The rooms have been neatly furnished and are much more cozy than the old clubhouse. The club is taking in new members at every meeting, and, far from being on the down grade, as has been reported, it is growing heaithily. In Byrne, Barley, Egan and Metcalf the club has four splendid class A riders, and there are many other promising ones among the members.

Byrne's I world's record of 1:01 for a half mile in competition, class made at San Jose last Monday, will stand for a long while, I am inclined to think, and marks him as a rider of wonderful speed and endurance. The San Francisco Young Men's Christian Association Cycling Club has a five! mile road race scheduled for next Saturday afternoon. J. E. Edwards, the Olympic flyer, will ride from scratch and, if the conj ditions are favorable, will try to lower the coast record of 11:35, made by Hurley of Alameda last month.

A picture is presented this week of the Riverside Wheelmen's new track. This is said to be one of the fastest courses in the State and will be used by several of the Southern California flyers for record trials later this season. The National circuit meet will also be held upon it the latter part of November. The Riverside Wheel- men is a flourishing club, and the acquiring of this track has brought them lots of new members. It is a wonder one of the big San Francisco clubs would not follow suit and build a track of its own, as this City is now without a track of any kind and racing men must train on the streets or in the park.

The Liberty Cycling Club will hold a five-mile handicap road race to-morrow over the San Leandro-Haywards course. The entries and handicaps have already been published in The Call. As the club has several good riders among its memberSj fast time is expected if the road is not too heavy from the recent rain. There has been no opposition to the regnlar ticket of the Bay City Wheelmen for directors, as has been erroneously reported, and those who are elected lor the ensuing year are: Hon. Frank H.

Kerrigan, Sanford Plummer. Walter D. Sheldon, Albert J. Menne, William H. Toepke, Harry Larkin, Frank H.

Watters, Charles A. Elliot, Horace P. Howard, Byron D. Bent and George P. Wetmore.

The road officers are Sanford Plummer, captain; George P. Caldwell, first lieutenant; Gustav Rosburg, second lieutenant. The Bay Citys will hold a five-mile road to-morrow afternoon over the San Leandro-Haywards course. The entries will close at the clubrooms to-night and the handicaps will then be announced. While the men have not had much opporgo.on tunity to train for tne event still considerable enthusiasm is manifested, and as the club possesses some of the fastest riders in the State good time is assured.

The San Francisco Road Club will hold a run to-morrow to Haywards to witness the road races. Members will please assemble at the clubrooms at 10 a. m. The club gave a banquet to President Dr. Rottanzi.

Hon. J. w. Maguire and I. Schwartz of the Southside Improvement Club last Tuesday evening which was very enjoyable.

The club will hold a five-mile road race on the 29th inst. Spaldinq. THE RIFLE. American Marksmen Invited to the Italian Shooting Festival. The Independent Rifles are making extensive preparations for their picnic and shooting festival, which will take place on the 22d inst.

A grand outing is promised the many friends of the Rifles who intend to be present on this occasion. The famous Zettler Rifle Club of New York will hold its annual prize shoot at Cypress Hill Park, Long Island, on the 29th and 30th of this month. Baron Fava, Italian Embassador to this country, has informed the Department of State at Washington that a prize shooting contest will take place at Rome, Italy, on September 20, in which his Government desires that American mamsmen shall participate. In the textbook for small arms and ammunition, recently issued by the English War Department, is a very interesting table giving the later issue of the European military rifles, their calibers, weight of bullets and the velocities. It is as follows: GUN AND DOG.

Deer-Shooting Continues In Marln County for Another Month. According to the decision of Judge Angellotti of the Marin County Superior Court, which was rendered last Wednesday, male deer can be lawfully killed in Marin County until October 15. As exclusively stated in Thursday's Call, Judge Angellotti decided a case testing the validity of the county ordinance. The Supervisors of each county have the power to shorten the open season for the killing of game birds or animals, but under no circumstances can they prolong it. Acting upon the authority given to them the Supervisors of Mann County ordained that the open season for deer-shooting end on September 1 of this year.

There was nothing in the ordinance, however, that provided for a penalty, and to test its validity a sportsman shot a deer on the second day ot September. The court held that the absence of a prescribed penalty rendered the ordinance useless, and as a consequence the State law will govern now in Marin County until the Supervisors w'll again meet and rectify their mistake. As there will not be a meeting of the board until the first week in October it is, indeed, safe to say that the general law will hold good, that is so far as deer-shooting in Marin County is concerned, for this season at least. The decision will, no doubt, stir up the sportsmen of other counties to a sense of duty, and county ordinances that fail to pfovide a penalty should be immediately attended to. According to an ordinance passed by the Supervisors of San Mateo County, the deershooting season in that county ended on the Ist.

As there has not been a game warden appointed for San Mateo County the killing of deer goes merrily on, and no less than nine deer, both male and female, were killed last Sunday in the vicinity of Shattuck's ranch, which place is surrounded on all sides by the Spring Valley Water Company's property. It would seem as if the Supervisors of the county of San Mateo, having refused to appoint a game warden, might have kept their fingers off the general law. Their action in having shortened the deer-shooting season is certainly doing no good. The true sportsman will observe the law, and that means a better opportunity for poachers to slay more game and escape punishment. Game Warden Mogan of this county stated last evening that he succeeded in arresting the man who Hung four sacks of game down in front of came stall lust Saturday and then made his escape when he saw the warden examining the contents of the sack.

Lemoine, as already stated, was fined $20 for having came in his possession. The man who had made his escape and whose name was John Buckley, will be given an opportunity of explaining to the court to-day why he transgressed the law and why he ran away when he saw the officer examining the contents of the sacks. It is about time that some of those fellows who will persist in killing game out of season are taught a lesson that will not readily be forgotten. The sportsmen of this City and County will no doubt be pleased to learn that the game warden is accomplishing some good work. He has had no assistance from the Fish and Game Commission, still he has made seven or eight arrests since his appointment.

On Sunday afternoon there will be held at the Oakland trotting park shooting contests at live and artificial birds. The following "owly" article appeared a few days ago in the gun column of the New York World "Among the late arrivals at the Philadelphia Zoological Garden are two birds that would be of great value to people in this country who use a shotgun, either to gain a living or for sport. The birds are called 'Whoo Whoo' owls, and thrive only in the central part of Germany. The birds are mottled brown in color, with beads ao big as teacups and eves as large as a halfdollar. While they are nocturnal birds, their vision is in no" way impaired by the daylight.

In fact, it is during the daytime that they develop their useful traits to the hunters. When properly trained the owls take their stand on the top of a tall tree and act as lookouts. Whenever the game is sighted the owls utter a soft call that sounds like 'Whoo, from which their name is derived, and dropping down beneath the tops of the trees, so as to be ont of sight of the quarry, they lead the hunters directly to the spot where the game is to be found. It is said that in the hunting outfit of King William there are 200 of these owls, all perfectly trained, and the young monarch prefers this kind of sport to any other. The pair at the 'Zoo' show their natural characteristics every time a bird flies over their open-air cage by uttering their peculiar cry and becoming wildly excited.

Jack Samrni is the proud possessor of a kennel of young Irish water spaniels, which are in every way chips of the old block. Both sire and dam are thoroughbred imported stock that has won many honors in the field and on the bench. When Sammi was asked by Count a few days ago which he preferred, pointers or water spaniels, he replied "Spaniels, because they are the only specimens of the Irish race that have been known to take water at all times and under all conditions." Sportsmen who have a fancy for duckshooting are putting in their leisure days renovating their arks on the marshes and arran ging "blinds" for the opening of the shooting season, which is vet some weeks off. A sportsman is desirous of knowing what will cure eczema, a skin disease which completely spoils a dog's coat. The best remedy is: Oil of tar, 4 ounces; crude petroleum.

1 ounce; cotton-seed oil, 12 ounces. Mix and apply all over the body for six consecutive days, giving a bath on the seventh; repeat treatment in a few days. Make also a complete change in the diet, using well-cookea vegetables with milk and soups. Feed only once daily and then at night. THE ANGLER.

Tons of Weeds Are Being: Removed From the Spring Valley Lakes. It is reported that the Spring Valley Water Company will close the San Andreas Lake to-day to anglers. For some weeks past workmen have been busy removing weeds which had accumulated and were growing very thick in some parts of the lake and consequently imparting to fishes somewhat of a weedy The same condition of affairs has existed in the lower lakes, and the removal of the defunct "water cress" will not only add to the purification of the water, but the fishes will also be benefited by the change. It has been remarked by some gentlemen who were "honored" with invitations to catch a few bass in what is known as the Lower Crystal Springs Lake, that the fish this year are actually unfit for table nse because of their peculiarly high and unpleasant flavor caused, in all probability, by the food upon which they exist. The bass of the lake live principally upon the goldfish, which are numerous.

The latter feed on small snails which are found clinging to the weeds and consequently they have a decidedly weedy flavor, which is Colonel Marshall McDonald of the United States Fish Commission. not by any means pleasant to the taste. The removal of tons of decayed and decaying water plants will certainly improve the taste of both the water and the fishes therein. Colonel Greenleaf of the United States Quartermaster's Department returned a few weeks ago from an outing on the Truckee River. When asked how the tistiine was the colonel replied that the river's banks were guarded by an immense army of wasps, and that he was routed completely and retreated in very bad order to a place of safety.

"I was wounded in two places," remarKed the colonel, "but the sting of aefeat annoyed me more than anything that has ever happened to me during my long years of service in the army. In my hasty retreat from the enemy I left leaders, flybook and pocketknife behind, and they are welcome to any one who will have courage enough to face the yellow jackets." An excursion train giving tourists an opportunity of seeing the grandeur of the great Sierras was to have taken its departure from the Oakland mole yesterday, but owing to the threatening appearance of the weather it was postponed. When the excursion was first made public quite a number of anglers decided upon taking the opportunity of enjoying a'few days' fishing on the Truckee River, but when they learned that only half a day's fishing could be enjoyed they dropped the idea of going into the mountains, as they considered that $11 50 was rather 100 expensive a sum to expend for half a day's trout fishing. According to the American Field of New York, there has been excellent fly-fishing on the Truckee River recently also good sport on the McCloud River, and at Lake San Andreas the bass were running in numbers. The Field's correspondent must evidently be an angler of the old school, or, in other words, he has been hibernating during the angling season.

There has been no fly-fish ing worth mentioning on the Truckee or McCloud rivers this year, and the bass of San Andreas Lake have been sullen. Latest reports from Chicago stated that a higb wind interfered greatly with the sport of the members of the Chicago Flycasting Club during the tournament recently held at Garlield Park. In the longdistance event Charles T. Essig won the medal with a score of 84 feet: Fred Peet, 77 feet; C. A.

Lippencott, 72 feet; James Clark, 71 feet; Frank Davidson, 67 feet. In the long-distance and accuracy event Fred Peet took the medal with a score of percent; C. F. Essig, 90 per cent; James Clark, 90 per cent; Frank Davidson, per cent C. A.

Lippencott, 77 per cent. In the light-rod dry-fly casting event Frank Davidson won the medal with a score of per cent; C. T. Essie, percent; James Clark, per cent; Fred Peet, per cent; C. A.

Lippencott, 79 per cent. In the bait-jasting event Frank Davidson was handicapped 12 feet, and James Clark won the medal by averaging 77 4-5 feet in five casts; F. Davidson, 77 3-5 feet; Fred Peet, 69 1-5 feet; C. A. Lippencott, 59 4-5 feet.

Frank Davidson's actual average was 119 3-5 feet, but the handicap brouirht his score just below James Clark's. In the death of Kon. Marshall Mc- Donald, United States Fish Commissioner for many years, fish protection and propagation have sustained a severe loss. Marshall McDonald died a few weeks ago of pulmonary troubles. He was a native of Virginia, and was appointed United States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries by President Cleveland during the latter's first terra.

McDonald's official career was marked by steady advancement in fish propagation and distribution, and many localities throughout the land have been supplied with game and food fishes during his administration. The Chinese fishermen have been making large catches of small sea fishes as well as shrimps during the past two months in the vicinity of California City. Of course this is an open transgression of the law, but as the Chinese have grown rich in the business of shipping dried fish to China it is to be presumed that they have managed in some way to get around the officers who are supposed to be attending to their duty. is very seldom that a Chinese poacher is arrested, yet it is a well-known fact that Chinese fishermen catch and dry tons of small fish every summer which are caught in the bay by means of basnets. Why the Fish Commissioners allow this means of depleting the bay of its small fishes to continue is something of a puzzle to sportsmen and anglers.

F. McManus, F. Waite, T. Clarke, E. Purcell and Sumps have been enjoying splendid fishing and hunting in the hills east of Cloverdale.

A few days ago they shipped a "box of game" to F. Angonnet of Seventh street, and when the receiver opened the case, to his great surprise he discovered a dozen toads, which the jokers scut to him in the place of a dozen choice venison steaks which were promised. Angonnet will wait an opportunity of turning the tables upon his alleged friends. Billy Robertson and Dr. Bowhill returned from a day's outing to San Andreas Lake last Thursday with more water than fish.

The famous cricketer states that Butler's roe is not the proper thing for fishes during wet weather. COURSING. Hounds That Will Race for the American Waterloo Cup. The great stake meeting which was decided at Casserly's Coursing Park last Monday proved beyond argument that in greyhounds speed is the great requisite to success. The dog that can lead to the hare when cast from the slips and capture the first turn invariably stands an excellent chance of bavin- the winning colors hoisted in his favor at the end of the course.

It is speed, and not endurance, that a dog must be possessed of to win laurels at inclosed meetings. The with few exceptions, are of short duration, and, generally speaking, trapped hares seldom give their pursuers an opportunity of scoring more than three or four turns when they are picked up. The conditions are, however, very different on the open plains, and especially at a season of the year when the grass is dry and water scarce. Take, for instance, a Merced "jack" in the fall of the year and slip a brace of "sprinting hounds" that are demons at running when straight courses are in order, and what will be the result? A desperate dash from the Blips and a quick turn is the first result. Then the hare that looked so large when first seen tucks itself np, so to speak, and resembles a cottontail rabbit when it has discovered that something more dangerous than a brace of coyotes is at its heels.

After the turn it shoots off in a straight line from the dogs, and all that can be seen afterward is what the veteran Tommy Hall of Merced would term a streak of fur Hying over the prairie with a brace of dogs vainly striving to keep within sighting distance of the game little animal, that soon finds a resting-piace far, far away from its pursuers and those who were awaiting the return of the judge for information as to what had become of the poor dogs. Yes, endurance and speed are the two prime requisites that a greyhound must possess to make a success on the open sward. In England they have been breeding greyhounds for some years past with a view of obtaining the greatest speed. The races are short, and as a result a dog must be a first-class worker, with a good deal of speed, so as to down his quarry the moment an opportunity presents itself for a clever pick-up. The same class of dogs as are successful at the English meetings are needed in this City to run at inclosed meetings.

It would be a good wager, however, that the winner of a Waterloo stake would not run one, two or three against some California-bred dogs at a meeting held on the plains of Merced in the fall of the year, when "the game is on the fly." Possibly a vast improvement in the coursing witnessed at the inclosed meetings may result if the proprietors would cull the poor hares from the bad ones and feed them occasionally on some substantial food. It is also a very bad policy to race hares immediately on their arrival from the plains. The characteristics of the hare should be made a more important study.

He observes absolute confidence and the strict- est secrecy in all his professional dealings. The Doctor has thousands of genuine tes- timonials on file in his private office and consultation rooms.

They are not fictitious or solicited. They are genuine, and were voluntarily given as true, deep, sincere and heartfelt expressions of gratitude and thanks from our best merchants, manufac- turers, mechanics, miners, ministers, farm- ers, lawyers, laborers and literary people, who have been cured by him and made happy. Examine them and learn for yourself what he has accomplished incases just like yours. To do so would make your heart leap with joy and renewed hope.

Never put off a duty you owe to yourself or another. Half the evils of life come from things deferred. The time to soe the doctor is when you realize that you have violated the laws of Nature. Don't wait lor the penalty to manifest itself. A little medicine now will do more than a whole drugstore by and by.

So come to Dr. Sweany at once, and in sacred confidence tell him all. He will do more tnan help you keep your secret. He will help you to forget it. Diseases fully cured soon cease to be even matters of memory.

Sweany fully and freely, with the assurance that your letter will be kept carefully concealed from curious eyes. to 8 P. M. Sunday, 10 A. M.
