DR. WELLS, Reclal Specialist. ~ Sf " > i WH **._ *T'» aßgMc S §r 2/ H * |r ■ -» V-- IMMMB | • » ■HBHHHBI R. HENRY WELLS, the Fort Wayne Rectal Specialist, will Dmake a professional visit to Decatur on TL'ESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1903, and once a month thereafter. He will be at the Decatur House on the date mentioned from 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. PILES — 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 o 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. CONSTIPATION 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 referyou 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 his never returned. I recomend his treatment to any one suffering as 1 was. FROM A HUNTINGTON COUNTY CITIZEN 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 without 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 give me the most excrutiating pain I ever experienced. I was completely cured by Dr. Wells with one treatment and 1 hope others suffering as I was will go to him for treatment. FROM A LEADING CITIZEN OF ALLEN COUNTY. 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 he cured without an operation, to which I objected. I finally consulted Dr. Wells who completely cured me without an operation, the first treatment giving me complete relief from suffering. I heartily reccomend 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 oonstipated. After a few weeks treatment by Dr. Wells I was entirely cured, and I now feel like a new man. He is the only physician 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.

TRUTH WILL CUT The Coils Tighten About William’Coombs, cf Clay County. The Two Young Hildebrands Offer to Tell the Truth Abut Murderous Affair. Coombs, a Murderer, Cut a Young Man Dreadfully for Apologizing for Mishap. Brazil, Ind., Sept. 12. —The two Hildebrand young men who are in jail here on charge of assaulting Irvin Schlatter with intent to kill, have sent a message to Judge Zolliver of the circuit court to the effect that they had perjured themselves in their testimony at the preliminary trial a few days ago, and they are now ready to tell the truth. This is considered to mean that they will tell happenings that will be damaging to Edward Coombs, who is now in jail under $3,000 bond for the same charge. On the 22d of August last Schlatter, who is a prominent young farmer east of this city, was on his way to Harmony, when he narrowly escaped a collision witn Coombs aim the Hildebrands. He regretted the latter so much that he alighted from his wheel to apologize, but without any provocation Coombs plunged a knife into Schlatter’s abdomen, and gave it a vicious jerk in an effort to disembowel him. With his intestines protruding Schlatter made his way to Harmony and told his story. Coombs, who killed a man at Reelsvllle and escaped with a jail sentence by a technicality, was in such bad odor that a mob was at once formed to lynch him. The sheriff and his posse got ahead of the mob and placed their prisoner in jail. The Hildebrands say that the reason they told the story they did at the preliminary trial, was that Coombs had threatened to kill them if they did not testify in his favor and as he dictated. THE LARRLPING LOOPS Warfare Renewed In Well-Known Kokomo Family. Kokomo. Ind.. Sept. 12. —The Loop troubles, which have hal their latest public manifestation in the arrest of James D. Loop, who was seeking with a shotgun to prevent timber men from cutting timber on the Loop farm, which timber Mrs. Loop had sold, being in control of the land, reach back for several years and are of an interesting description. They began in a public way when Mrs. Loop was made a defendant by her husband in a proceeding to send her to the insane hospital. The case was stopped before it had gone far. Next the husband asked for a divorce, and then dismissed the case. Recently Mr. Loop was declared of sound mind, the Hon. John W. Kern of Indianapolis defending in a suit brought by his wife, who asserted that he was not mentally responsible. -Mr. Loop was formerly a well-to-do farmer. He says all the lawyers are against him. He Is a pensioner and technically a member of the Marion soldiers' home. Neither Mr. nor Mrs Loop are sparing in their public criticism of each other. It has not been many weeks since Mr. Loop attempted to prevent the removal of the timber, and he visited the farm for that purpose. taking with him his brother Noah. The brother came away with a battered head and Mrs Loop had a broken thumb as a result of the fight A Glorious Gift. Columbus. Ind., Sept. 12. — The weight of years had dimmed the eye sight of Mrs. Martha Thompson, aged eihgty-five, of Indianapolis, to such an extent that when she came hen- for a visit a few days ago it was with dim culty that she could read, even with the aid of glasses. Suddenly a day or two ago, her sight returned with al! its old-time brightness and she can now read with the naked eye. like a young girl. Bankers Elect Officers. South Bend.

A General Tendency to Improvement Is Noted. New York. Sept. 12,-Bradstreet's weekly review of trade today says, conditions in most states hav ng proved since Sept. 1. State fairs and low rate excursions have stimulated Western distribution. while good pros pecta tor com, cotton, rye aud sugar at the Soutn have made for cheerful , ness in that section Eastern trade advices are of less notable activity, , but signs of improvement in the cot j ton trill 1 ituation are seen.
