-f THE MOmONG OBEGONIAH, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1903. NEW YORK CENTRAL SOLD VAADEXBIITS GIVE UP CONTROL TO SETW SYNDICATE. Deal FeaceaVly -Maae 'by Which Rockefeller, Morgan aad the Pemaaylvaiila' Take -Charge. NEW YORK. March 21. Control of the New York Central and direction of Its operations have passed Into new hands, according- to Information received from trustworthy sources, the Tribune will say tomorrow.. Control has not been "wrested from the Vanderbllts. There has been no friction, and the change Is alone lines-approved by William K. Vanderbllt The new control is -vested in the combination known as the Rockefeller-Pennsylvnnla-Morgan. interests. For a lone time the New York Central has been operated in harmony with the Pennsylvania. In fact, the "Vanderbilts arc the largest Individual owners of Pennsylvania stock. In giving up control it is . announced there is no surrender of interests in the property. The Vanderbilt family will re tain a large holding and a voice in the management, although the responsibility will be shifted. There have been reports that there will be a merger of the New York Central and tho Pennsylvania, and that the New Ha ven will eventually be taken into the combination. This is declared to be pre mature. If not jmtrue. The two proper ties can be best operated separately at present. A merger may come later, but It is stated that it is unlikely in the near future. It is stated that no startling changes will be made now, and that none is planned for the immediate future. It Is possible that at the next annual meeting some changes may bo made in the direc tory. Mr. Morgan is now in the board, as Is "William Rockefeller. It Is likely that at the next meeting the Pennsylvania may secure representation. All that is certain is that the burden of control is shifted to other hands, .and that the so called Rockefeller - Morgan-Pennsylvania combination will in tho future operate the New York Central system, acting in ac cord with the Vanderbilts, but relieving them of the onerous duties and the exact ing details of management.

The- cure of disease is" a matter ot full understanding as to the nature of the disorder and the action of the remedies upon it In most instances tho proper treatment is apparent to the physician so skilled aa to be able to detect the exact con ditions underlying an ailment An accurate diagnosis Is more than half the cure, for it makes plain the thing that must be done In order to effect a cure. If tho doing of these things Is a possibility, therd Is no excuse for failure. Too often disease Is treated by rule or programme, without adequate understanding as to the nature of the ailment, and without even an attempt .to scientifically diagnose the case. This is a practice that comes through Ignorance or careless ness, "and that has done untold harm, disappointed millions ot patients and Injured public con fidence In the medical profession. Dr. W. Norton Davis. Wo guess at nothing. Our understanding of men's diseases is so thorough that we have no need to resort to guesswork. To this class of ailments we have devoted our entire atten tion for over twenty-one years. Wo have closely studied them In every possible phase and com plication. We believe there is no case that we cannot accu rately diagnose. Our diagnosis Is the foundation of our treat ment It determines the course to pursue. As the cure pro gresses we carefully note de velopments and vary remedies accordingly. We employ origi nal and distinctive methods of reatment, but. they are not set methods. They are pliable to meet the conditions in Individ ual cases, and their use calls for the most delicate prescrib ing. That they are correct scientific and rational methods i3 conclusively proven by the cures they produce. We have cured more men than any other specialist In the Northwest has even temporarily relieved. Our methods are our own, and the treatment we offer can be ren dered only by ourselves. We Are Always Willing to Wait for Our Fee Until Cure Is Effected SYPHILIS This most hideous of all venereal diseases can no longer be classed as incurable. The idea that the limit of medical aid is to keep the disease dormant by persistently dosing the system with mineral poisons is as Incorrect as many other ancient theories to which many of the profession cling. Such treatment not Infrequently results In tho virus being driven deeper Into the system, where it attacks and destroys even the very bones of the sufferer. We positively drive the very last taint of the poison frjm the system In sixty days. The cure Is thorough and permanent and every symptom of the disease vanishes forever. We use harmless blood-cleansing remedies, hereto fore unknown In the treatment of this disease. We regard our suc cess In overcoming this frightful leprosy -as tho crowning triumph of our professional career. STRICTURE It matters not how long you have suffered from stricture, nor how many different doctors have disappointed you, we will guaran tee that out treatment will make you as well as before you were troubled with the disease. Our treatment dissolves the stricture, which comes away in ahreds, leav ing the urinary passage entirely free from obstruction and irrita tion. It also relieves any sympa thetic disturbance In the bladder or kidneys. We send ur treatment for this trouble to nearly every country In the world. "WEAKNESS" This disease of the functions by no means indicates general nervous decline, but is a direct result of In flammation, enlargement or exces sive sensitiveness of the prostate gland, brought on by early dissi pation or resulting from some im properly treated contracted disor der. These conditions cannot pos sibly be, removed by Internal medi cines alone, and any tonic system of treatment that stimulates activ ity of the functions can but result In aggravation of the real ailment This-Is a scientific ""truth, that we have ascertained by careful study 'and observation In hundreds of cases, and is the truth upon which our own original system of treat ment Is based. We employ neither tonics, stimulants or electric belts. We treat mainly by local methods, and our success In curing even those cases that other have failed to even temporarily relieve with their tonics is conclusive evidence that our method affords the only . possible means of a complete and radical cure. CONTRACTED DISORDERS To but partially cure a contracted disorder Is almost as dangerous As to allow It to go untreated. Un less every particle of infection and Inflammation Is removed the prob ability exists that the disease will gradually work Its way Into the general system. Still greater is the Sanger of tha prostate gland be coming chronically inflamed, which always brings on partial or com plete loss of power. Perhaps twenty-five per. cent of the cases of so-called "weakness" are a direct result of some improperly treated contracted disease. In hundreds of cases we have recently treated we have effected a thorough and safe cure In every Instance. There have been no relapses or undesir able developments whatever, and our patients have been cured In a shorter time than usually required In such cases. PILES No matter how severe or of how long standing, we will cure every case of piles that comes to us for treatment We use nb knife, ligature or caustics, but em ploy a mild treatment which Is certain in its effects and no relapses follow: Our practice in this branch of our specialty Is constantly grow ing from recommends by former patients who have been cured. VARICOCELE Varicocele is a relaxation, knot ting and twisting of the most Im portant blood vessels of the sexual system. It stagnates the local cir culation, of waste and repair. Ne glect brings derangement of func tlpns and injury to the- general health. Most physicians resort to surgical operations and hospital treatment We cure varicocele without operation, pain or deten tion from business. Our cures are absolutely permanent and no ill effects whatever can follow our treatment REFLEX AILMENTS Often the condition appearing to be the chief disorder Is only a re flex ailment resulting from some other disease. Weakness some times comes from varicocele or stricture; skin and bone disease re sult from blood poison taint, and physical and mental decline-follow long-standing functional disorder. Our long experience in treating men enables us to determine the exact conditions that exist, and to treat accordingly, thus removing' every damaging cause and Its effects. We can treat most cases suc cessfully by letter, but prefer one personal examination If possible. Should we accept your case you can rest-assured that a complete and permanent cure will follow our treatment OPERATIONS Some deformities and disorders render circumcision advisable, and In such cases we offer a service not to be had elsewhere.
