Cotton Mills Have Run.
Columbus, Ga.. August 31.—(Special.)—
One reason it Is thought that business
will be unsually good this fall is that
the city, unlike other cotton manufactur
ing centers, has not suffered a depres
sion due to Its mills shutting down. Every
cotton mill in Columbus has been in
operation all the summer, with the ex
ception of one which shut down tempo
rarily a few days, and whi h will r< sumo
operation in a few days. The cotton mill
operatives have bad continuous employ
rnent, conditions being vastly different
from those in other cities where the cot
ton mill help has been idle a great part
of the summer. This satisfactory state
of affairs is due tn the foresight of Co
lumbus cotton manufacturers In laying
in an ample stock of raw material.

HIGH PRAISE OF THIS NEW
METHOD OF CURE.
PROFESSOR OFFERS
FRE2 HELP TO ILL.
VITAOPATHY is the wonderful new
method of healing instituted by
Professor Thos. Adkin, of the Inst;
Hite of Physicians anti Surgeons. Ro
Chester, N. ¥., which is stirring the
scientific world to its depths.
tT is a resuit of Professor AdkinA
j discovery of the Secret Forces of
I Nature. It is the harnessing of Na
ture’s forces and making them obe
dient to the will of man.
fpillS marvelous discovery deals with
j humanity’s most precious boon—
■* health. Sickness gives way before
its magic touch, and life, joyous, free
life, abounds.
AT last that dread destroyer. Death,
is held in check. Vitaopathy is
snatching his prey from the very
jaws ci the grave, and the grim mon
ster shrinks back appalled.
OTHAT all the sick and suffering
might come to know of the blessing
that awaits them, and would drink
rich draughts from the fountain of
life and health now so freely opened to
taem.
PARALYSIS. Locomotor-Ataxia, Con
sumption. Epilepsy—these are but
a few of the many diseases that are
daily being cured by Professor Adkin's
wonderful Vitaopathy.
ALL diseases, in fact, acute and
•hronic, simple and complicated, of
recent origin and of long duration,
meet the same fate when confronted
by Vitaopathy. They are vanquished.
TESTIMONIALS are received daily
j from patients afflicted by fatal di; -
■* cases, patients given up to die by
their own doctors, who have been re
stored to health promptly and com
pletely by Vitaopathy.
HUNDREDS of addresses of cured
patients are at. the disposal of those
who wish to examine our claims.
Tell us the name of your disease and
we will give you all the references you
want.
YOU that are sick, you who have
loved ones sick, are urged not to
give way to despair. No matter how
apparently desperate the case is there
is hope for yon. Vitaopathy is tri
umphant.
The world is challenged to bring
forward proofs that Vitaopathy has
failed to cure any patient submitted to
its methods. The laws of Nature never
change. Vitaopathy is based upon
Nature's laws.. Nature is life. Vitao
pathy instills life. Professor Adkin
deeply feels his responsibility to suffer
ing humanity as the discoverer of this
wonderful system and has determined
to confer the benefits of Vitaopathy
upon rich and poor alike. To all who
write describing their condition h<
will give a full diagnosis and have hi
specialists prescribe the proper home
treatment for their quick recovery. He
will also send a copy of his latest book
entitled. “How To Be Cured and How
To Cure Others.” Address Profc- -• ■(
