PAYING TELLERS’ ERRORS.

Those Officials Are Usually Ready to Rectify Mistakes. A bank officer, referring in a recent address to the responsibility of paying tellers, declares that the idea that such officials were rarely willing to rectify mistakes had little basis in fact He added: "How is it that there exists ij the minds of many the idea that prying tellers are inclined to resent even the suggestion that they make errors In counting money? I have never known one who made the slightest claim to infallibility. Who has not heard the ancient and oft told story of a teller who was asked by a person for whom he has cashed a cheek if he had not made a mistake? As the narrative usually runs the self satisfied money counter behind the desk is inclined to become indignant and replies in a pompous and abrupt manner that he never makes mistakes. The considerate party then states that the amount paid him exceeded that named in the check, but the teller still maintains that there can be no error either way, as he never makes mistakes. “Where is the teller who upon being told he had made an error would fail to politely inquire as to the nature of the same? The inference is that tell ers are possessed of so much vanity and conceit that they lose the amount said to be overpaid rather than acknowledge an error. How unlikely and ridiculous!”—New York Post. Justus von Liebig’. Von Liebig was skillful in correcting popular delusions on scientific subjects. A notable example of this may be found in the overthrow of the once much discussed theory of “spontaneous combustion,” a comparatively mod ern error, dating, it seems, only from the year 1725, but which persisted long after Lavoisier had explained the real -..-? 1 to time put forward with success in th* defense of persons on trial for murder and received its last support from Charles Dickens. His success in this direction throws a pleasant light ofc the progress of civilization. One wonders what would have been the fate of Von Liebig had he opposed himself to such an error in the sixteenth century when Kepler could only save his mother from going to the stake for witchcraft by satisfying her judges that she possessed none of the signs essential to a witch. In those days Kepler did not dare to say that there were no sqcji things as witches.—W. A. ShenThe Japanese Way. The question of choice between two vases was decided by a patron In a Japanese shop when the proprietor said: “That smaller vase, madam, is thoroughly Japanese in fornrand decoration. That floral pattern in gold around the upper half is characteristic, and so, too. is the exceedingly narrow and short neck. The vase will hold but a single blossom that should be long stemmed and stand upright. Thus the flower will be individualized and the vase likewise. That is the Japanese way.” Positively Brutal. Grace—Just see how much your little wifie loves She made this cake for you all by herself. Arthur—Yes, my darling. And now if you will eat italfeby yourself I shall possess indisputable proof of your devotion.— Pittsb trg Press.

DR. WELLS, —=Rectal Specialist. A ft ~ R. HENRY WELLS, the Fort Wayne Rectal Specialist, will Dmake a professional visit to Decatur on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1903, and once a month thereafter. He will be at the Decatur House on the date mentioned from 2/K 8:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m., where he may be consulted free of charge. Doctor Wells treats all forms of rectal diseases, including piles, fissure, fistula, itching, bleeding, stricture of the rectum and constipation. LES This painful and annoying malady is one that can always be cured by proper treatment. Dr. Wells absolutely guarantees to cure the worst case of piles, no difference how bad they are or how long they have existed. His easy method of cure requires no cutting or pain and the most sensitive person need have no hesitancy in calling upon him. -STRICTURE OF THE RECTUM - Stricture of the rectum which is a narrowing or partial closure of the rectal canal, acting as an obstruction is in many instances the cause of constiptaion and other nervous manifestations which can not be cured till the stricture is cured. It should never be permitted to go uncured. CONSTJPATaON Constipation is the bane of a woman’s life and is the cause of more of her ailments than childbearing {and all other things combined. An impacted rectum bearing down on the womb causes displacements, inflamation, leucorhoea, backache and a variety of other symptons in women and prostatic and bladder troubles in men. No person can have good health who is compelled to be always taking physics to relieve constipation. Dr. Wells has a method by’ which he can permanently cure the worst cases of constipation and solicits consultation by’ all those who are suffering from constipation or any form of rectal disease: Dr. Wells graduated 15 years ago (1888) and has since that time devoted himself to the study of these diseases. In order to become rapidly acquainted with the people of Adams Co., he will make a specially’ low rate for treatment to those calling upon him on his initial trip to Decatur. TESTIMONIALS Dr. Wells does not publish the names of those who give testimonials for the reason that many patients are kept away’ from his office for fear their names will be published, but he can refer you to hundreds who have received satisfactory treatment from him. A few are given below whose names and addresses will be furnished upon application and you may write to, or call upon them if you so desire. FROM A LADY RESIDING IN FORT WAYNE. Case No. 214: Several years ago Dr. Wells cured me of a long standing and painful case of piles after several other physicians had tried to cure me and failed. The treatment was entirely’ without pain and the trouble has never returned. I recomend his treatment to any one suffering as I w’as. FROM A HUNTINGTON COUNTY CITIZFN. _ •• .. « cP®. W" ■ Case No. 372: I was cured by Dr. Wells several years ago of a severe case of rectal tumors which several other physicians had tried to cure giving me any’ benefits. The trouble has never returned and I would recomend any one similarly afflicted to consult Dr. Wells. FROM A LADY LIVING IN A SMALL TOWN NEAR FT WAYNE. Case No. 611: I had a fissure of the rectum which gave me the most excrutiating pain I ever experienced. I was completely’ cured by Dr. Wells wiih one treatment and I hope others suffering as I was will go to him for treatment. F«OM A .LEAPING CITIZEN W V. -.-V CUSTY. Case No. 696; For a a number of years I suffered from a malady of the rectum which often disabled me from work. Several physicians whom I consulted said I coud not be cured without an operation, to which I objected. I finally consulted Dr. Weils who completely cured me without an operation, the first treatment giving me complete relief from suffering. I heartily reccomeud his treatment to all who have any form of rectal disease. He also cured my wife of constipation, FROM A LADY LIVING IN THE COUNTY. Case No. 634. I had a terrible itching of the rectum and surrounding parts, which nearly drove me frantic and worried the life out of me. One who has not had it cannot imagine the suffering that I experienced. Dr. Wells cured me in a short time, and without a particle of pain, and I hope every lady afflicted as I was will hear of Dr. Wells, for all other doctors had failed to cure me. FROM A PENNSYLVANIA R. R. EMPLOYEE. Case No. 1017. A stricture of the rectum, which had afflicted me' for a number of years, had ruined my health and made me a nervous wreck. It also made me very constipated. After a few weeks treatment by Dr. Wells I was entirely cured, and I now feel like a new man. He is the onlyphysician who ever benefited me any. Anyone desiring to call upon or correspond with any of the above mentioned parties, may do so by asking for the case number and the name and address will be furnished. No names used without consent.
