—. , , I Want DIFFICULT Eye Cases. All I Ask is That YOU Investigate at My Expense My Knifeless Method Which Has Cured So Many Cases After Others Have Failed. DONT GO BLIND-VISION IS TOO PRECIOUS. X want to meet with, or hear from every man, woman or child afflicted with diieases of the e»e. I don’t care who the person is or what their eye trouble may be, I will be able to convince them ABSOLUTELY FREE that my painless treatment will do more for them than any Other method known to the profession. By this 1 do not mean there are not some isolated cases that cannot be cured, but I do mean to say emphatically that many and many difficult cases which c-»-. have been termed incurable by others have been permanently cured by my Absorption treatment. One of the things that lam proud of is in the uninterrupted WZ successful career covering many wEy years. I have eliminated the necessity of using the dangerous and MffiffikZz k */////// painful knife on the delicate eye, m \/////// but what I make cures where othUfSj//'//7 4 I tz/zz/z era have advised that only an operyJKf/7/// th, k rzz/7/ ✓ z ation would bring relief. My suc- //'/// JmL 1 1%// ////. cess has not been brought about ”17/// jiMwC K/zz /////t a cure to-dav and a failure to- ✓ U/////////■ morrow, but it has been a uniform '///////, ///// success. Take for instance my ////My,. ' l ''^r////7/'///, treatment for Cataract, which is '//mmk. Xill/IJ,. //////////// one of the most dreadful and most //wKy/fr. / V < I '/////// other oculists tell you it can only vJsg: / j ■ ''V///j It ’ e treated successfully by means '///// °f a dangerous operation. To-day my treatment is prononnced the J / WHWJIiFiix z only SURE knifeless treatment &Ul I known. And why? Because the I w I/iHI rUf////f\ X \ I Nt////JrliTu\ cures have been so uniform. Had '9/ lIiKIIIiK/// J/\ I Ntf/Jl I only cured a few cases now and VI vfiTz/T/z/Zl/i then, it would be said, “You might lllrli\l I INI/// \ \il v////7'/z7l\ b“ cured by Dr. Madison’s treat■////z ■III V/// \ 11 \lHilll7Z’ ment,” butitistlie uniformity of ill/ I |B|| Xi/// \ II cures in the most difficult cases 'llli Ini IvVirZ \ 11 ill ’ll that causes people to say, “You 111 llm IW’/ll \ H ■/ v can Positively be cured by the iWx/li ' ’ w z Madison Absorption Method.” 11l 1' XH> \ \ Take for instance, these few tes- \ ' 1 1 timouials taken at random : • ... Mrs. F.L. Winter mute, 121 Second AMERICAS MASTER OCULIST. St., Jackson, Mich., under date of (COPyhighted) October 18, 1906, writes: “After having been repeatedly told that there was no cure for my cataracts except an operation, to-day my eyes are perfect by means of your knifeless home treatment. I have regained my vision in six months.” Mr. C. W. Johnson, of Grand Detour, 111., in a recent letter said, in part: ”1 deem it a pleasure, as well as a duty to mankind, to certify to the benefits received from using your home jj n gjj®!* tnient or cataracts - Mrs. Johnson was treated by many physicians. YOU I personally devote my entire time and study to the Eye, and I assure my patients prospective patients my personal attention, even to the smallest details. No matter what you are suffering from—whether from Cataract, Inflammation. Pannus, Ptosis, Optic Nerve Trouble, or in fact any affliction of the vision—l can successfully treat you. I guarantee a perfect, permanent cure for Cross Eyes, whether It be internal or external strabismus, without the use of the knife, with absolutely no risk, pain or inconvenience, without confining my patient to a dark room for a moment, or without the use of a single bandage. VISION IN LIFE—BLINDNESS IN OBLIVION. If you value your eyesight, no matter what your disease, no matter what your thought, investigate. It is not going to cost you any money to prove to your entire satisfaction that my treatment is all I claim for it, for all I ask of you is to send me your name and address, no matter where you live, and 1 will send you FREE an 80-page booklet, illustrated iu colors, which is a classic on diseases of the eye. I will tell you who I am, what I have accomplished, and will tell you in detail of the more common troubles, their causes, their effects and their cure. Also ■ ther things of value to you. This is all for the mere asking. Can you afford to delay ? Write me today and relieve your mind. My office hours are from 10:00a. m. until 5:00 p. m; Sundays, from 9:00 a. m. to 11:00a m.only. Special appointment, however, can be made by letter or wire. f. c. madisoh, m. o.

The SPORTING WORLD

Hanlon Knovre Illa Mind. Eddie Hanlon is entitled to rank along with Jim Jeffries as one of the few pugilists who know their own mind when it domes to a matter of declaring they are out of the fighting game for good and all. Eddie had an opportunity to get back into the boxing game, from which he retired after his

defeat, by fighting Dick Hyland, but he says he la done with fighting and wants no more of It. Salt Lake was anxious to see more of the work of Hyland, aqd Hanlon was suggested as a good opponent. “When I retired from boxing,” said Hanlon, “I meant what I said. There will be no more boxing for me, and I wired the Salt Lake promoters I would not accept an offer. When Hyland beat me I concluded to go Into business for myself and leave boxing alone. They will have to get some other opponent for Hyland.” Woman Auto Driver Makes Record. Miss Dorothy Levitt has the reputation 1 of being the best woman driver of heavy powered auto cars and one of the few who can handle a racer. She Is an Englishwoman who has made several sensational records, but her last appearance was the occasion of her finest performance. At the races held at Blackpool, England, she set the world’s woman's record for the flying kilometer. The meet was held In windy and rainy weather, and such cracks as Cedi Edge, Lee Guineas, Huntley Walker,. Clifford

Earp, uemogeot, the speed king of Ormond; Rossi and J. E. Hutton did not dare let their cars go part of the time on account of the condition of the track. A cold, searching wind blew across the track, with occasional bursts of rain, sleet and hall. The surface is asphaltum, and under the circumstances the records made were marvelous. Driving a pipe railed ninety horsepower six cylinder car, Miss Levitt made her attempt on the flying kilometer. She made a good start and over the fast but slippery course drove the racer the distance in 24 3-5 seconds, a speed of 90.878 miles per hour. Cecil Edge, owner of the car and a fine driver, could do no better when he handled it against the 200 horsepower car of Lee Guiness. Miss Levitt’s time sets the world’s record for women drivers and is not far from the world’s record of any kind.

Racing In Chicago. There is every indication that racing on the Chicago tracks and at other middle western courses will take on a new lease of life before another year elapses. The feud between Corrigan and Condon Is at an end. The war between the rival New Orleans tracks controlled by these turf magnates lias been declared off. > Noted citizens of Chicago have just organized a club and intend to build a magnificent new race track to fill the vacancy left by the destruction of old Washington park and in the course of time will revive the running of the classic American Derby. If Chicago gets into the swim again a great load will be taken from the shoulders of the eastern track owners, for the reason that the army of western turfmen who flocked to their tracks this season will remain at home. Eastern turfmen under the circumstances look for better racing in 100 T, better conditions and Improved patronage. Every step necessary, it is said, will be taken to safeguard the sport in future from the attacks from which it cannot very well escape. Ralph Rose's New World’s Record. At the track and field day meet of the Olympic club, San Francisco, recently a world’s record in putting the twelve pound shot was broken by Ralph Rose, who put it 55 feet 6V4 inches. This is one inch and a half farther than the distance covered by G. R. Gray of the New York Athletic club at Travers island, New York, In 1902.

Dr. Chas. Vick, Eye Specialist. This is an age of Specialists. The ability to do one thing and do it well is more to be commended and is of more benefit to Humanity than to do many things and none equal to the best. We limit our practice on the eye to the errors of refraction, of which we have made a special study for over thirty years, Office in U. H.
