Mrs William Hammel Sustains a Stroke
Mrs William Hammel we were deep
ly pained to learn sustained a stroke of
paralysis early Sunday morning from
which serious results were at first fear
ed but which at tim willing uud ioi
tunately proved to be less dangerous
than was at first apprehended
She had been much wrought up and
wearied by a case in court which lasted
into the late hours of Saturday night
when the jury finally disagreed This
is thought to have been largely instru
mental in bringing on the unfortunate
attack
It is devoutly hoped her condition
may continue to improve and that she
may fully regain her health

Hot Springs Doctors Want Location
Branch Institute
The Hot SpringB doctors who have
thoir Nebraska State Institute perman
ently located at 14th and O streets in
Lincoln are looking about tho stato for
a suitable location for branch insti
tutes which will bo established in tho
spring and may select McCook as a
location for one of these branches
A representative of the doctors was in
the city this week and bo well pleased
was ho with our town that ho has prom
ised to havo Dr Ben W Kinsey chief
of staff of tho Hot Spring doctors spond

curable will bo excepted for treatment
Those that aro found to be incurable

any price or under any condition
Th03e that aro found to bo curable by
the Hot Springs system of treatment
will be treated free of charge except

This grand free offer is made in order to
got a few good cases quickly
The object of Dr Kinseys three days
visit hero from March 19th to March
21st at the Palmer hotel is to secure a
few cases in McCook to show what this
wonderful Hot Springs system of treat
ment will do in tho way of curing dis
eases oven after all other methods have
failed Dr Kinsey wants to secure
these cases now so that if a branch in
stitute is located here in tho spring
tho work of tho Hot Springs doctors
will be known hero and tho cured pa
tients will bo good advortismonts
For months the Lincoln daily papers
have been full of reports of wonderful
cures that have been made by tho Hot
Springs doctors at their Lincoln insti
tute Not long ago the Nebraska
State Journal contained a half column
account of a woman who had been
cured of gall stones This woman had
suffered many years and all tho doctors
had given up hopes of curing her with
out an operation when a friend advised
hftr to go to the Hot Springs doctors
wo rfhe look the Hoc Springs treatment for
a short time and is now well for the
first time in years and was saved from
having an operation
Other issues of this paper have told
of wonderful cures in cases of rheuma
tism arid other cures of stomach trouble
where the patients were unable to eat
any food except malted milk and were
entirely cured by the Hot Spriugs treat
ment One man who had kidney troub
le and had been given up to die of
Brights disease was cured with three
months treatment Another man who
bad epileptic fits for two years was un
able to work at his trade as a machin
ist for fear of falling among the heavy
machinery and being killed this man
was cured by a short course of Hot
Springs treatment and is now back at
work It is such cases as these that
have made the Hot Springs doctors
famous all over the county This is an
opportunity of a life time to thosa who
are sick and want to be cured
The Hot Springs doctors are endorsed
by the leading banks business men
clergy and newspapers and physicians
of Lincoln where their work of curing
the sick is so well and favorably known
Tho Hot Springs treatment system of
has a national reputation as is attested
by the fact the United States govern
ment has established its arm and navy
hospitals at Hot Springs Ark where
soldiers and sailors are sent after all
ordinary methods have failed to cure
Thousands of private citizens go to Hot
Springs every year to be cured of mala
dies which are incurable by ordinary
methods They go on crutches in car
riages and on stretchers and most of
them go home happy and cured Hot
Springs is a national blessing
It remained for Dr Kinsey to discover
the secrets of Hot Springs and to per
fect his wonderful system of home treat
ment so that it can be used any where
in any home without inconvenience
annoyance and without publicity or
detaining the patient from his or her
usual occupation
The Hot Springs doctors treat dis
eases of the nerves including rheuma
tism paralysis neuragia loss of nerve
force gall stones goitre piles rupture
and diseases of men and diseases of wo
men The Hot Springs system is all
home treatment so that frequent visits
to the office aro not necessar
The Hot Springs doctors have estab
lished a world wide reputation by their
honest dealings with their patients and
by the fact that they will not accept an
incurable case for treatment at any
price or under any conaition
The Hot Springs doctors have for
years beon operating medical institutes

remedies as found in the curatives wa
ters of these wonderful hot springs
As stated above the Nebraska State In
stitute is permanently located at 14th
