Are Chiropractic* Adjustments the same &s Osteopath Treatments? t|
No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place
that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong but the Path- i
ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different, i
One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic
and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic io ten times more direct
in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- i
ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would.

DISI
Altoona, Pa., June 20, 1903.
I was afflicted with Tetter in bad shape.
It would appear in blotches as large as my
hand, a yellowish color, and scale off.
You can imagine how offensive it was.
For twelve years I was afflicted with this
trouble. At night it was a case of scratch
and many times no rest at all. Seeing the
good the medicine was doing a friend
who was taking it for Eczema, I com
menced it, and as a result the eruption be
gan to dry up and disappear, and to-day
I am practically a well man. Only two
tiny spots are left on the elbow and shin,
where once the whole body was affected.
I have every confidence in the medicine,
and feel sure that in a short time these
two remaining spots will disappear.
S. S. S. is certainly a great bloocf puri
fier, and has done me a world of good.
I am grateful for 'what it has accom
plished, and trust that what I have said
will lead others who are similarly afflict
ed to take the remedy and obtain the
same good results that I have,

Twenty Two Gas Tanks Explode

Eight Dead Have Already
Removed From The
Ruins.
Been
Chicago, Nov. 18Twenty-two
tanks at the big gas charging
station at the cofoner of Seventy
third street and Chicago avenue
exploded this morning, scatter
ing scraps and chumks of iron
blocks around.
At two o'clock this afternoon
eight bodies of employees had
been removed from the ruins
while there are still ten of the
employees missing and unac
counted for.
Many structures in that vici

that they are not fit for oc

BLO W UP ARSENAL
Japs Destroy Another Arsenal
And Magazine at Port
Arthur.
Tokio, Nov. 18A telegram
from Moji reports the destruc
tion of another arsenal and maga
zine at Port Arthur.
Chefoo, Nov. 18.Fighting at Port
Arthur has taken place nightly since
the Japanese began their general as
sault on Oct. 26, according to Captain
Ronberg, a pilot, who was a. passenger
on the Russian torpedo boat destroyer
Rastoropny.
The Japanese trenehep-the captain
says, are close to the forts on Rihlung
and Keekwan mountains and to other
forts on the northeastern group.
The sharpshooters of both sides, oc
cupying the pits, conversed" with each
other frequently and make truces in
order to borrow cigarettes or to relieve
their cramped limbs.
The Japanese are displaying great
energy in the construction of trenches
and the mounting of guns.
All the railroad steamers belonging
to the Russians, except the steel screw
transport Amur, have been sunk by
Japanese shells.
The hospital ship Angara, formerly
a transport, has been sunk in shallow
water. The patients are still on board
the ship and are comfortable.
One day last week a hospital ship
moved too near the battleship in the
harbor, whereupon the Japanese drop
ped small shells around her with the
obvious purpose of warning her away.
The ship took the hint and when she
was outside the" zone of danger large
shells began falling near the battle
ships.
REPORTS JAP REPULSE.
8evere Fighting Occurred at Port Ar
thur Oct. 26.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 18.General
Stoessel, in his uispatcnes io Emperor
Mchoias, reports uie xepuise ot a Jap
anese auacK Oct. 26 on cue no*ch front
or Port Arthur. The Jttussian losses
were 480 killed or wounaed. All te
attacks Nov. Z, the day the anniversary
or the emperor's accession to the
throne was celebir.ted, were repulsed.
General Stoessel was siightly wound
ed in the head auring one of the latest
assaults on Port Aitnur. The text of
General Stoessel's dispatch of Oct. 28
follows:
-We have the honor to report to
your majesty tnat the Japanese bom
barded very vigorously, Oct. 25, our
fovts and entrenchments north and
northeast. The followwing day they
also attacked one of the forts on the
north side, but our heavy artillery and
shrapnel lire dispersed their reserves
and the assault was repulsed. Our
losses were 1 officer and about 71 men
killed and 400 wounded.
"Engineer Captain Sakharoff, for
merly governor of Port Dalny, died Oct.
27 of typhus fever.
"It is difficult to single out indi
viduals for special mention among the
heroic defenders."
PLEASES THE JAPANESE.
Sinking of the Rastoropny Relieves
Embarrassing Position.
Chefoo, Nov. 18.The three Japa
nese torpedo boat destroyers which
entered the harbor during the morn
ing to ascertain if the Russian torpe
do Doat destroyer Rastoropny was here
disappeared for a time, but reappeared
in tne afternoon. The Japanese consul
sent a cutter out to meet them and
iniormed the nearest destroyer, the
Kasumi, that the Rastoropny had been
sunk. The consul says this was the
first the ships knew of the sinking of
the Rastoropny. The Kasumi trans
mitted the information by wireless
telegraphy to the Japanese flagship,
whereupon the destroyers disappeared
in the direction of Port Arthur.
The sinking of the Rastoropny by
the Russians relieved the Japanese of
an embarrassing position. A repeti
tion of the torpedo boat destroyer
Ryeshitelni incident would have arous
ed indignation, while a failure to de
stroy or cut the Rastoropny out would
have appeared like admitting previous
wrongdoing. c, hj^.

might be exhausted before the task
was finished.

shut out entirely from the proceedings,
only those having a direct connection
with the case being allowed to enter

OFFICERS AT SCENE OF TROUBLE
UNABLE TO MAKE HEADWAY
AGAINST THE CROWD.
Chicago, Nov. 18.A mob of sympa
thizers and striking furniture movers
attacked several wagons of the John
ston Chair company in the heart of the

mass of struggling rioters. The driv
ers of the wagons were menaced by
the mob. The few policemen on hand
were helpless to make headway against
the crowd, which only gave way when
reinforcements of police arrived.
Similar trouble occurred when two
wagons loaded with chairs drove up
to the Sherman street entrance to the
Board of Trade building.
A crowd of 1,000 persons followed
the wagons, which were under police
guard, and many threats were made
at the nonunion drivers.
Doors on the Jackson boulevard
side of the Board of Trade building
were locked and other doors guarded
that no trouble might occur in the
building. Operators, clerks and mes
sengers gathered upon window ledges
of the Board of Trade and surrounding
buildings, threw corn upon the crowd
and increased the confusion by yell
ing continuously. The corn throwers
were finally dislodged by the police.
Ropes which held dozens of chairs
on the wagons were cut. Foes of the
nonunion drivers hurled the chairs at
the wagon men. Two patrolmen re
ceived injuries from chairs. A run
ning fight ensued, the crowd pursuing
the wagon all the way back to the
factoiy.
