changed the Indicator from "full

something happened that was incom

The Andromeda quivered under a
tremendous buffet. There came a crash
of ending iron and an instant stop

into the noise of the blow came a loud
report from the land, but that in its
turn wns drowned by the hiss of steam
from the exhaust.
Coke appeared to be dumfounded for
an Instant. Itecovering himself, . he
ran to the starboard side, leaned over,
looked down at a torn plate that
showed its jagged edges just above
the water line and then lifted a blaz

the neighboring cliff, where a haze lay
like a veil of gauze on the weather

Dr. Madison's Stay In Bellingham Is
Proving a Boon to Afflicted Humanity
The Irving House on Dock Street is the Scene of
Miraculous Cures Given up to Live as Cripples
or Die All these Have Been Restored to Health
and Happiness by Dr. Madison's Pure "Essence
of the Green Plant" and His Bloodless Surgery
Every day adds to the long list of permanent cures that Dr. Madison is accomplish
ing, in his marvelous way, at the Irving House at 1315 Dock Street. Rheumatic cases of
long standing seem to instantly vanish before his scientific treatments. Many despond
ent sufferers of chronic afflictions are willing and anxious to testify to the great things he
has done for them.
This is truly the age of wonders. Discoverers and inventors are radiating from all
quarters of the globe. The modern philanthropists have also come in for their share of
prominence, but few have won the gratitude of suffering humanity as has Dr. Madison
since discovering his phenomenal system of permanent cures, after years of service in
some of the world's best medical institutions. His lecture at Beck's Theatre last Tuesday
night was not only most interesting and instructive, but a revelation as well. It is the
talk of the town. The patients to whom he gave instant relief before the eyes of his
audience have experienced no return symptoms and cannot say enough in praise of what
the Doctor has done' for them. The case of ' Mrs. L. J. Wright, who resides at Knox
; Street, this city, is ample evidence of Dr. Madison's al'lity to successfully conquer the
most tenacious diseases. Before attending Dr. Madison '3 Victure at Beck's Theatre last
Tuesday night, Mrs. Wright had been a long sufferer of chronic rheumatism, but today
experiences all the happiness of good health and is able to walk about town with perfect
ease.
Dr. Madison's system of treatment was made possible by his discovery of the great
virtue that lies hidden in the juices of various plants from Mother Earth. Though serv
ing as a practitioner for years under the old school, Dr. Madison has abandoned the old
orthodox methods in his present system of cures. He is opposed to poisoning the system
with too many drugs. Nature seems to accomplish unaccountable cures through herbs, on
human beings, as for ages they have in their silent way upon the natives of forests, foot
hills, mountains and plains, where nature furnishes them.
In certain complicated cases and in abnormal anatomy, Dr. Madison associates
bloodless surgery with the "juice of the green plant." There are but few specialists in
the world today who have won the title of "bloodless surgeons." Dr. Madison is one of
them. It is hoped for the sake of suffering humanity that many more will acquire this
ability to accomplish cures.
Dr. Madison has scores of convincing testimonials at his office. They tell stories of
human suffering relieved, which have rarely been -equalled in the annals of medical and
. surgical history. Almost every one was at one time given up by the doctors either to die
or spend the remainder of their life in bed or on crutches. Some of these cures were
.wrought here in Bellingham at the offices in the Irving Block, where he is now giving
; treatment daily. Some are our Bellingham citizens, known and respected here. Some
; live in various parts of the state and some from other states. Here are a few of hundreds

"I am still wondering over what.Dr Madison has done for me. It seems beyond human conception, but nev
