UNIQUE   ILLUSTRATED   LECTURES
ORIGINAL      STEREOPTICON      VIEWS
By DR. WILLIAM S. SADLER
1.   Child Life in the Slums (Stereopticon)
A stereopticon lecture revealing unsuspected and astonishing conditions among the submerged classes in our great cities. An unusually full and interesting presentation of one of the problems of the age. The majority of the views are original, and were taken by Dr. Sadler. Realistic facts and scenes dealing with the great problems of child labor. A stirring lecture illustrated by touching pictures.
2.  Modern Miracles (Stereopticon)
A thrilling recital of the career and conversion of Jerry McAuley, Sam Hadley and other noted criminals and outcasts. A revelation to the average man. Stereopticon views illustrating everything talked about; a panorama of Christianity in the slums. Shows you how "one half helps the other half." A presentation of the nation's great agencies for uplifting the downcast and discouraged.
3.   The Slum—Its People and Problems (Stereopticon)
A stereopticon talk which takes you through the very heart of the slums of New York and Chicago. You see it all with your own eyes. Underground and in the attics you see conditions as the camera found them, and hear about them from one who knows. The city slum, with its civic, sanitary and moral problems, is a matter which the American people must squarely face. Knowledge is essential to intelligent action—and action is demanded by the conditions existing in the slums of our great cities. As a physician, Dr. Sadler has had opportunity to trace the terrible trail of vice from the slums to the boulevards and out into the villages, and even to the country home.
4.   Health Hints (Stereopticon)
This lecture embraces many of the best and brightest snatches from the Doctor's numerous health lectures, beautifully illustrated by original stereopticon views. This unique lecture will both instruct and entertain. The great principles of Hygiene made plain, practical and popular.
Special Notice: Dr. Sadler does not carry a lantern. Upon request, any of these illustrated lectures will be given, but the Chautauqua Management must furnish both lantern and operator. If lantern and operator are furnished by the lecturer, an extra fee of $20.00 will be charged.
HOW DR. SADLER COMES TO LECTURE ON THE SLUMS
For years the Doctor was secretary of the old Chicago Medical Mission which opened the first free baths in the city of Chicago, and no lecturer on the American platform has come more closely in contact with the submerged tenth—mingled with the dwellers of the slums in their actual daily life—than Dr. Sadler.
The Doctor has taken great interest in securing honest employment for these denizens of the slums, and to-day hardly a month passes that some of these uplifted outcasts do not appear at his office and offer their gratitude for the fact that at one time he was their only friend. Many of the Doctor's beneficiaries can be found to-day in the counting-room, in prominent business establishments, and a few have even attained eminence in his own profession.
We do not hesitate to say that the Doctor's illustrated lectures relating to the slums are the most interesting and extraordinary of anything of their kind—they are alive, every sentence throbbing with human interest. They are simply a revelation to the average man.
There is no class of people or phase of slum life in our great cities with which the Doctor and his wife are not personally acquainted, and, therefore, they speak with authority.
The Doctor's slum lectures are in every sense refined. Scenes of poverty and squalor are presented without the odor of vice and crime. The majority of the views shown by the Doctor in his slum lectures were taken by his own hand, or by his wife and co-laborer.

Few popular health lectures every contained so much wholesome advice and substantial help for the crippled stomach of the average American citizen.
8.  The Marvels of Digestion, or the Secrets of Strength
In this lecture the use of all medical terms and technical phrases is avoided. A practical, popular, and scientific presentation of the physiology of digestion in relation to the science of eating in the light of modern discovery. The doctor tells in common language of the wonderful and revolutionizing investigations of such dietetic discoverers as Pawlow, Cannon, Chittenden, Fletcher, and others.    It traces the food from the table to the tissues.
9.  Are We a Dying Race? or the Conservation of Health
An inquiry respecting the present physical and mental status of the civilized races. A lecture sure to awaken new thoughts in the minds of thinking people. By no means pessimistic, but a frank and free discussion of some hard physical, mental, and moral problems which confront modern society. A full disclosure of the ravages of present day diseases, including tuberculosis, pneumonia, cancer, etc.
10.  Men and Morals (a Lecture for Men Only)
This is a plain confidential, heart-to-heart talk to men over eighteen years of age; a pointed, helpful discussion of many perplexing social, moral, and health-problems of vital importance to every young man. A wholesome and scientific study of a much-abused and wrongly-presented subject. Every phase of this lecture is plain, practical, and pointed. A lecture pronounced by many critics as the best presentation of this great moral problem on the American platform.    (A Sunday afternoon favorite at Chautauquas.)
The Doctor, in his Health Lectures, is intensely interesting and practical. He is positively unique. His methods are new and original. His delivery is animated and his audiences are captivated by the simplicity of his style and the force of his witty illustrations.
The Doctor's Health Lectures are positively unlike anything of the kind heretofore offered. They are the modern "Gospel of Health," free from all impractical fads and the teaching of extremists.
The Doctor talks straight to the common people—plain, everyday English. No medical terms or scientific techni-calities.
PERSONAL
DR. WM.  S.   SADLER
SURGEON, AUTHOR, AND TEACHER
Dr. Sadler is a practicing physi¬cian of Chicago—a graduate of the regular school of medicine.
He is professor and head of the department of Physiologic Thera-apeutics in "The Post Graduate Medical School of Chicago" where hundreds of physicians attend his clinics each year. He is also direc¬tor of the "Chicago Institute of Physiologic Therapeutics."
The Doctor is a member of the leading scientific and medical societies of this Country, including the Chicago Medical Society, The American Medical Association, The American Association for the Advancement of Science, The Inter¬national Medical Congress, etc., etc
Dr. Sadler is not a traveling phy¬sician. He positively refuses to examine patients or prescribe for the sick in connection with his Chautau¬qua work. He is one of the very few American physicians of high professional and ethical standing, who has consented to stand upon the lecture platform and instruct the layman in the science of living, or the art of keeping well.
Dr. Sadler is a good example of his own teachings—he is a hard worker, but a simple liver. His diversified labors as surgeon, author, teacher, and lecturer, not to mention his sociological and psychological investigations, keep him exceedingly busy for about fifteen hours a day.
The doctor is enthusiastic, sincere, and dead in earnest. His audiences catch his spirit and enter into his enthusiasm for righteous living. He delivers a health message for its own sake—he represents no medical institution, no cult, fad, or associa¬tion of cranks.

POPULAR AND CLASSICAL READINGS
CHARACTER INTERPRETATIONS AND DRAMATIC MASTERPIECES
By SARAH MILDRED WILLMER
1.  The Sign of the Cross—By Wilson Barrett
The characters of this wonderful drama are made to live and move before you. She presents her own original dramatization which dramatic critics have pronounced to be the nearest approach to the author's personal interpretation ever produced. A graphic picture of the growth of a soul from paganism to Christianity, a thrilling presentation of the horrors of religious persecution, and a faithful delineation of the tremendous price paid for the religious liberty which we all enjoy.
2.  The Woman of Samaria—By Edmond Rostand
A Bibical Drama embracing one day in the life of Christ, and portraying the power of His teaching and love to uplift the fallen. Unable to procure this great drama in English, Miss Willmer was forced to secure her own translation from the French, she therefore presents the only English interpretation of this drama.
3.  An Evening with Great Dramas
Imitative recitals of scenes from famous plays. In this recital Miss Willmer gives the cream—the strong features of a drama in one act. Seven scenes are sufficient for a whole evening; and for this work she draws material from more than a score of classic and popular plays.
4.  Aunt Jane of Kentucky—By Eliza Calvert Hall
A truly homely story well told. Concerning the book Ex-President Roosevelt said: "A story every true American should read." Miss Willmer is an artist with the dialects and this story abounds with the homely philosophy of a homely character struggling to escape from the thralldom of popular superstition and customs.
5.  Miss Selina Lue—By Maria Thompson Daviess
This dear old soul's humerous philosophy about folks in general and her "Soap Box Babies'' gives Miss Willmer a splendid opportunity to spread her gospel of good cheer.
6.  Brand—By Henrik Ibsen
A problem play—Ibsen's masterpiece.
7.  Miscellaneous Recitals
In these programs Miss Willmer gives cuttings from her heavier numbers, together with numerous and varied unique selections embracing pathos, humor, satire, and tragedy.    These hours are very popular, and include poems from standard authors.

PERSONAL
Sarah   Mildred   Willmer
READER
Miss Willmer's work is characterized by a determina¬tion to present literary mas¬terpieces of true dramatic value, and in her ability to do this,   she has no  superior.
She is not content to please by mere cleverness. She has purposed that her work shall be educational and uplifting as well as pleasing and enter¬taining.
Miss Willmer has made a deliberate choice between the stage and the lyceum plat¬form—choosing the Chautau¬qua because it affords a clean, consistent opportunity to reach the masses—to exalt their ideals, to elevate their standards, to improve their tastes, and to increase their love for and appreciation of the good and pure in people, and in literature.
In temperament, emotional power, or the ability to move an audience to laughter or tears, Miss Willmer is with¬out an equal.
This generation has not known a reader so distinctly sent as a messenger of en¬lightenment and cheer, and none has more clearly dis¬cerned her mission than has Sarah Mildred Willmer—the Sarah Bernhardt of the Lyceum.

CROWD LISTENING TO "SIGN of the CROSS" AS LARGE AS THE ONE WHICH HEARD MADAM SCHUMANN-HEINK
EACH ARTIST FILLING A   RETURN ENGAGEMENT
"Before an audience that equalled in number that of the opening night, when Mme. Schumann-Heink gave her recital, Miss Willmer completely won the hearts of the Monmouth people.
The most eloquent testimony that could be given in regard to Miss Willmer and her recital of last evening was the pro¬found stillness that prevailed during her entire reading. Miss Willmer held her audience completely in her power and scarcely a person left the tent during the time she was telling her story.
Her dramatic ability is wonderful, yet it is no more wonderful than her versa¬tility. There were many characters to portray, yet her story was made so vivid that the audience was made to forget the present and to imagine they were living in the troublous times of Nero.
Miss Willmer's interpretation of the scene wherein Mercia halts Marcus in his drunken and maddened love was one of the most dramatic scenes of the evening.
Her greatest effort or climax of the play, the prison scene, needs special commen¬dation. The scene following in which he pleads for her renunciation of her faith in exchange for his love requires the art of a great emotional actress, and here Miss Willmer again proved herself worthy of being placed in the front rank of dramatic readers
At the close of this scene and cf the play, Miss Willmer reached the height of her dramatic ability and a storm of applause showed that her masterful effort had been appreciated as it deserved."— Monmouth (Ill.) Review.

PRESS      COMMENT
"The Sadlers will fill four engagements at this session. They are an attraction that has induced many to come on the grounds to camp, and will bring thousands of day visi¬tors to the park. They filled a similar engagement last year, and the demand for their return was insistent; so much so that the management made unusual efforts to secure them."—Portland {Oregon) Journal.
"The first of the addresses by Dr. William S. Sadler, drew one of the largest, if not the largest, week-day audiences of the session. The subject was 'Americanitis, or The High Pressure Life.' The talk was practical. It was not extreme. It was sane and sensible. It was inter¬esting and helpful."—Racine (Wis.) Journal.
"Dr. William S. Sadler, the noted authority on health and how to prevent disease, delivered a lecture on 'How the Body Resists Disease,' and Dr. Lena K. Sadler, in an address on the 'Cause and Cure of Colds," interested large audiences.
CROWDS WANT TO KNOW
It was generally conceded that the addresses were the most interesting and instructive that have been delivered at the Chautauqua, and both of the authorities were besieged by large crowds after they had finished speaking, for more information."—Portland (Ore.)Oregonian.
"At four o'clock the Sadlers and Miss Willmer con¬densed an entire chautauqua, except the music, into two-and-a-half hours, for the audience kept them at work until half-past six. The Drs. Sadler are both prominent practitioners, and it is this large medical practice that gives such immense value to their lectures and demon¬strations. They told how to preserve health, prevent disease, care for little ones, and what to do in emergencies while waiting for the doctor. At each point they worked out a demonstration before the audience. In saving of life and in increased health and happiness this two-and-a-half hours was worth the cost of the entire ten days' chautauqua."—Lyceumite and Talent, Chicago. {Report of I. L. A. Chautauqua.)
"Dr. Sadler, assisted by his wife, also a doctor, and their trained nurse, gave the most interesting of his health talks yesterday afternoon to a very appreciative audience. These talks are proving the best drawing card on the entire bill, as they are instructive as well as interesting. The doctor is an excellent speaker as well as a learned physician and the audiences take great pleasure in listening to everything he says, and the largest audience of the season was a compliment to his ability last night."—Terre Haute  (Ind.),   Tribune.
"Your work was most cordially received by our people and aroused such very deep interest that there is unani¬mous desire to have you back next year."—Thomas C. Pollock, Monmouth (III), Chautauqua.
"Our people liked your work so much that we just signed a contract for you folks for four days next year. You were the hit of the season."—J. E. Torbert, Secretary, McConnelsville {Ohio), Chautauqua.
BOOK      REVIEWS
"Who so wishes to live the simple life, meaning by that the possession of a sane mind in a sound body, will find a competent instructor in Dr. William S. Sadler. He has taken the mass of recent literature on health, has sifted it down to its essential elements, and by the aid of his medical knowledge and skill as a writer, has set forth the result in a valuable book entitled, 'The Science of Living, Or The Art of Keeping Well.'"—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"Dr. Sadler has written an exceedingly useful work on the general subject of hygiene. The volume is intended rather for the layman than for the physician. The chap¬ters on the value of sunlight, on digestion, on the adul¬teration of food, on sleep, and on fresh air, are admirable in their lucidity.
"Dr. Sadler writes like one who has a thorough com¬mand of the English language. His book is a mine of information, and the excellent illustrations enable the average reader to understand the internal structure and the exact organization of the human body."—The Rochester Post Express.
"With no technical phrases or medical terms, but in plain, every-day English, Dr. William S. Sadler gives in 'The Science of Living, Or The Art of Keeping Well,' a concise outline of modern hygiene. It is a common-sense book, free from fads and isms."—Boston Globe.
"Dr. Sadler is the sworn foe of colds, and what he has to say about this most insidious foe of health is really of immeasurable value."—The Chicago Tribune.
"Dr. Sadler has given us a fund of instruction, clearly stated, and easily followed."—The Christian Endeavor World.
"As a study in colds, their types, developments, causes, dangers, and cures, this concise little volume could scarcely be surpassed for practical usefulness. It holds to the gospel of an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure, but to the patient wrestling in the throes of a miserable and preventable sickness it brings a surgeon's wisdom and healing. One of the books no household should lack."—The Baltimore Sun.
CONCERNING THE
SALE OF DR. SADLER'S BOOKS
AT CHAUTAUQUAS
A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago, publish one or two volumes of Dr. Sadler's Chautauqua Lectures every year. There is a great demand for these books at all assemblies where the Sadlers appear, and Dr. Sadler has consented that his books be sold on condition that the regular book seller's profits plus the Author's royalties should be turned into the treasury of the local chautauqua. During the past two years, practically every assembly booking the Sadlers have availed themselves of this offer, thereby adding greatly to the permanent effects of the Sadler Lectures, and incidentally deriving the profits from the books sold—sometimes sufficient to pay a considerable part of the lecture fees.

EQUALLY STRONG  PROGRAMS   FOR THIRD  AND  FOURTH YEAR

INFORMATION    FOR    COMMITTEES
MISCELLANEOUS   DATA   CONCERNING  THE   SADLERS   AND
MISS WILLMER
1.    The Sadlers are return date people. They go back three and four years, and yet they never repeat. Their audiences increase each year.
2.    The Sadlers are not traveling doctors—they never consult with or prescribe for patients when on a lecture tour. Under no circum¬stances will they see patients, except upon request of the family physician, and then they make no charge for their services.
3. While the doctors do not examine or treat the sick, they do answer all questions put to them after their lectures, sometimes spending from one to three hours on the platform or in the  groves  answering  inquiries.
4. It is literally true that the Sadlers and Miss Willmer are "A whole chautauqua in them¬selves." The only possible exception to this statement would be that this remarkable company does not furnish music.
In booking the Sadlers, all that is necessary to complete your program for the time you have them, is to provide suitable musical or other preludes. In making up the pro¬gram, remember that the Sadlers and Miss Willmer are a whole chautauqua, except the musical prelude.
Miss Kellogg's Class-Demonstrations are along the lines of home nursing. They are entirely different from domestic science, and in no way interfere with the domestic science classes. These classes can come at a morn¬ing hour or at 4:00 o'clock if nothing else is provided at that hour.
Dr. Sadler does not carry a stereopticon. He only gives illustrated lectures on request, and where committees furnish both lantern and operator, as noted elsewhere.
Both the Doctors and Miss Willmer make a specialty of Sunday programs. Some of their strongest work has been specially pre¬pared for Sunday programs. Their Sunday lectures and recitals are in great demand on return dates.
Dr. Sadler is a medical practitioner of the highest ethical standing, and he frequently conducts clinics in the local hospitals in towns where he lectures, while the local physicians frequently arrange special meetings for the Doctor which he is always glad to address.
10.   Dr. Sadler is usually first presented to the audience by one of the leading local physicians. The Doctor desires that either his reception committee, the secretary of the chautauqua, or some physician designated for the purpose, conduct him on a formal call upon the Presi¬dent and Secretary of the local or county medical society, immediately upon arrival, or as soon thereafter as may be mutually convenient.
11.  By four programs a day is meant one appear¬ance by each member of Dr. Sadler's Chau¬tauqua Family. That is, one lecture by Dr. William S. Sadler, one lecture by Dr. Lena K. Sadler, one entertainment program by Miss Willmer, and one class-demonstration by Miss Kellogg, the trained nurse.
12.  Dr. Sadler gives his personal attention to ar¬ranging the program in detail for every chau¬tauqua.
The Chautauqua Managers Association.
The Sadlers and Miss Willmer are all members of the International Lyceum Association. Dr. Sadler is an enthusiastic supporter of the I. L. A., and believes that all Talent and Committeemen who are striving for the highest ideals should be active members.
