Aided by the prison guards and everv available citizen of Lansing, the department soon seemed to be making headway against the flames. Scores of women and relatives of the guards and prison eni- ployees, who live in cottages in Lansing, flocked about the gates, etg-er to learn the news of dear ones.

E. Mack, 'Rosul the following words of Honry i llecdior about 'Physicians who advertise lioitoKtly and truth fully. On tho occasion of the recovery of one of his friends he wrote: "I am the Dot-tor cured my- friend. I am glad that the Doctor put it in the paper that he could cine him, and if any Doctor is sure that he can cure such a disease and doi's not put it, in the paper, I am sorry. a pity it would have been had this Doctor, with his wealth of science and experience, left him uneured.

AVhat a pity it would have been if the-afflicted man had been so prejudiced against, advertising as to read tho responsible ocrtihVate of the Doctor and yet give him the go-by. What are the newspapers for if not to eiroulate information? What more valuable information can i newspaper give than, to tell a sick man where he can be cured? If man has. devoted his life and labor to the study of a special class of diseases, the necessity of his saying so becomes all the lpore Jlis duty to advertise becomes imperiousThe remedy for lying advertisements of quaeks is for honest, men to tell' the truth. A really able man, whatever ma, be his gifts; makes a great mistake if lie fails to. use those gifts through want, of advertising." As Dr.

Dunlavy says I MAKE NO CLAIMS OF PERFORMING MTRACLES, P.1IT I DO WHAT REMEDIES CURE AND 1 TREAT MY PATIENTS THIS THE SIMPLE SECRET OF MY GREAT SUCCESS." And the fact that hundreds of cured patients, men and women in all parts "of the country, willingly testify to these facts, should convince even the most skeptical. makes no claims of having one medicine as cure-all. He has no ''Elixirs of Life," no "Marvelous Compound" or any other clap traps that are offered in a loud voice by ignorant charlatans who oek to palm off their worthless stuff simply deceive tins trusting and confiding sick.
