There is a debating contest next Friday afternoon and the question is ••Resolved, that water is mon' destructive than fire.’ There will be contests every other Friday.

I have no apology to make to the East Jefferson correspondent of the Berne Witness for what I have said through these columns. He savs he is no way interested in the C. M. T. Cos., line. The phone which is in his house must have been furnished him by the company to pay him for bis sluring our line. I mean just what I say we have a good line and a company of 26 men as good as can be fonnd and we intend to uphold our company against any slurs that may be thrown at us by a company that envies usoarline through its best outlet namely, the Berne V* itness correspondent.

Aii Honest Doctor i B - i A 1 < - '1 And Eminent Specialist D.W.Tucker. A.11.M.D. IV/7/ 6e in Decatur, at the BURT HOUSE, [Monday, March 24, And Every Four IVee/rs Thereafter. — Indiana Medical and Surgical Institute, The Oldest, The Largest, The Best. THIRTY YEARS EXPERIENCE, eMaqj' Imitators but qo Equal Permit us to call the attention of our readers to the important fact that there are three essential steps in the successful treatment of disease. First, a correct diagnosis; second, the selection of the proper remedies in their best possible form, and third, a thorough knowledge of knowing howto prepare these remedies and their physiological effects upon the human body, in order to effect a cure. In the three above named facts Dr. D. W. Tucker has no equal in the state of Indiana. He has treated many thousands of cases within the last thirty years. If one-fourth of the people that are now in the cemetery had consulted and been treated by some good Specialist instead of their family doctor, they would have lived twenty years longer. Only a Specialist who thoroughly understands Chronic Diseases, can treat them successfully. Dr. Tucker is without doubt the ablest Specialist in this state, and has treated and cureo more Chronic and Private Diseases than all the other Specialists in this state combined. A doctor that has restored thousands to health, and can produce undeniable proof of the fact, must be regarded with respect. This is the record of Dr. Tucker, which can not be equaled by any other Specialist in the United States. His success is the result of THIRTY YEARS of careful study, extensive research, observation and remarkable experience in the treatment and cure of thousands of Chronic and Private Diseases of the Brain, Heart, Lungs, Liver, Kidnt; s, Bladder, Rectum, Gleet, Impotency, Nervous Diseases, Catarrh, Piles, Varicocele, Strictures, all Private Disease of both sex. If Dr. Tucker can not cure you no other Specialist in the United States can. He has deposited in bank ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS that he has treated more eases of Chronic Diseases and performed more remarkable cures than any THREE SPECIALISTS in the state of Indiana. He will not deceive you, and guarantees to cure every ease he takes for treatment. He is vouched for by the best banks and citizens of the state. The only Master Specialist in the State of Indiana can be found only at the Indiana Medical and Surgical Institute, at No. 10 West Wayne street. Callon or address DR. D.W. TUCKER
