ENDORSEMENT. Ot a Citizen ot .lay County Brouirlit Back to New Life. Mr. Editor: Allow me to speak a few words through your paper in fa- ! vor of Dr. J. W. Young,ot Ft. ayne. 1 I suffered for three years with liver and kidney disease and could not sleep at night. I tried several doctors and many patent medicines, but could get no relief from them. Eight months ago 1 began treatment with Dr. Young and he soougave me great relief and I now believe he has permamanently cured me. I want to reeom mend Dr. Young to all who are as llicted. Very Respectfully, Edward J. Tyner. Mayor’s Office, Ft. Wayne. Ind. October 6,I!MX). As mayor of the city of Ft. W ayne. I take great pleasure in stating that I have permanently known Dr. J. W. Y’oung during the last twenty-five years, during which time he has resided in this city. He is a gentleman, scholar, an honorable and respected citizen and successful practitioner of medicine. He and his family are held in the highest esteem bv the best citizens of our city, and among our business tnen his word is considered as good as a bond. In all his business relations he has proven himself strictly upright, honorable and worthy the fullest confidence of the public. (Signed) Henry P. Scherer. Mayor. The above testimonial needs no commend; it speaks for itself. It is from the mayor of the city where the doctor has resided for the last twentyfive years. In connection with this we subjoin others to confirm the fav orable statement made by Hon. Hen ry P. Scherer. Bear in mind that Dr. Younge has treated more cases of chronic diseases than all the other specialists in the state combined. He is the oldest specialist in the state and has on de posite in bank one thousand dollars that he can show more genuine testi monials and has performed more remarkable cures than any other three specialists in the state. He has resided in Ft. Wayne nearly thirty years and is endorsed by every leading citizen of that city, and he refers you to the banks and leading business men of that city. Cleveland. 0., May 24, 1901. To the Public: Having an intimate acquaintance of more than fifty years with Dr. J. VV. Younge, it affords me great pleasure to testify to his merits and ability as a Christian gentleman, scholar, and physician. I have known him from childhood, as a school teacher, soldier and physician, having served with him in the army during the civil war. As regards his ability as a physician, I believe there are few men in this country his equal and none his superior. I shall embrace every opportun ity to speak a good word for him as he richly deserves the success he has honestly won. R. E. Hudson. Prof. R. E. Hudson is well known as the singing evangelist, author and Cublisher of many of the popular ymns of the day. He is an official of the Christian Holiness Association and a preacher of the Methodist church. Do not be deceived by so called Indian doctors, who do not know whether you have one liver or a dozen and who use only barks, roots, herbs, etc. Ail medicine is nature's remedy and nearly all the Indians are dead because they did not know how to treat diseases. This country was -full of Indians one hundred years ago, but now they are all in the graveyard and that is where you will lie if an Indian treats you when vou are sick. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.

Beware of so called specialists, who claim to come from Ft. Wayne, and of whom nothing is known there. Dr. Younge is the only recognized specialist of Ft. Wayne, that visits this city. Hehastheonlv medical and surgical institute in that citv. The doctor will pay One Hundred Dollars reward for the conviction of any one who claims to represent his institute. Do not be deceived by imitators of our advertising. Nature is always trying to restore that which is wrong, or injured and with the skillful treatment of Dr. Young, there will always be real, permanent improvement. Dr. J. W. Younge's remedies and methods work in harmony with nature. Ho takes the feeble, palid, nervous, creature and restores him to health. The doctor’s success has taught us that no one should despair, bo matter whether, folly, overword or ignorance. You can be permanently cured if taken in time by Dr. Younge’smethod of treat ment. Ston brooding over your mis fortune, take heart, call upon the doctor and he will tell you just what he can do for if any doctor in the United States can cure you Dr. \oungecan. Do not dispair. Many thousands who thought their cases hopeless have lieen cured bv him and so can you. Dr. Younge will be at the Burt House next Monday, December :<()th. The doctor has been making regular monthly visits to this city during the past twelve years and has treated many of the best sitizens of this county. If you are sick call on him and he will candidly tell you just what he can do for you. If he can not cure you no other specialist, in the United States can. Remember the date is Monday, December 30th. To Whom Concerned Notice is hereby given that mv wife Rachael A. Martz, has left my bed and board and that I will not be re sponsible for debts contracted by her hereafter. James K. Martz. Decern ber 19,1001. 4it2
