Green, office at 1614J4 North Twenty-fourth street, this city, has won laurels for himself and his' race in handling a very painful frac tured foot for Mr. C. J. Benson, fami liarly called “Charlie." Mr. Benson is a well nown commission fruit mer chant of this city. Saturday morning at 9 o’clock hisj left foot was accidentally run over by a truck. He had it treated by a well known white physician of this city. By 12 o’clock Saturday he could not walk or stand, and was taken in an automo bile to the Millard hotel, Thirteenth and Douglas streets, and put to bed. Mr. James Lewis, caterer at the Mil lard hotel, seeing his distress, told Mr. Benson of Dr. Green’s ability in han dling ailments. He was told to call the doctor at once. He called at 7:30 p. m. and at 8:30 p. m. the doctor was on the job with some of his newly added modem equipment. In thirty minutes Mr. Benson was up and walk ing across the floor without limping. The pain was all gone with just the minimum amount of soreness. Next morning Mr. Benson got out of bed at 5 o’clock, as was his custom, walked down several flights of stairs and was out upon his once lame foot all day until 9:30 p. m. without feeling any soreness or pain. He says any one doubting the truth fulness of these statements may call or write him at the above named place. He has engaged Dr. Green to treat his leg that has been giving him a deal of uneasiness for sometime.—Adv.
