the place Do for Since tho announcement has been made in tneso columns that Dr Ben W Kinsey chief of staffs of tho Hot Springs doctors who havo their Ne braska State iustitute permanently lo cate at tho corner of O and 14th streets Lincoln would pay a visit of three days to McCook the question has been ask ed many times who are tho Hot Springs doctors and what do they do The answer is the Hot Spring doctors are an association of specialists who havo established institutes in tho var ious larger cities of tho United States with one or more Hot Springs doctors at each institute Tho Hot Springs doc tors aro specialists in tho treatment of chronic cases of rheumatism kidney and stomach trouble lung trouble goitre gall stones piles and nerve weak ness by the famous Hot Springs system of treatment The Hot Springs doc tors always cure they accept no incur able cases for treatment So well versed are they in the anatomy of tho human body that they can diagnose any case in a few minutes timodescrib ing every ache and pain and locating the cause of the trouble without ask ing a single question To aid them in this diagnosis they have tho most won derful instruments made some of them imported from tho various medical cen ters of the world besides many of their own invention which are used by no other doctors but the Hot Springs doc tors For many years the Hot Springs rlnofnra hnvn nnsrated institutes in tllO larger cities of the United States They are now looking around the state for smaller branch institutes to bo established in the spring The idea of ostablishinc these branch institutes is to put the Hot Springs system of treat ment within the reach of all The Hot Springs system of treatment has national reputation is evidenced by the fact that the government has estaV lished its armv and navy hospitals at Hot Springs Arkansas where sailors and soldiers are sent after all other methods have failed to cure Thous ands of private citizens go to Hot Springs Arkansas every year for treat ment some go on crutches others were carried on stretchers without any hope of getting well but often go homo happy and cured Dr Kinsey made a careful study of this Hot Springs treat ment inrl norfocted a system of home treatment so that now this wonderful Hot Springs sj stem of treatment may be used in any home any where with out annovance inconvenience or public it or without detaining the patient from his or her occupation Realizing that there are many who cannot nuord the time or money to go to Hot Springs is the cause of the Hot Springs doctors establishing these various institutes As stated above the Nebraska state in stitute is located at 14th and O streets Lincoln where thousands of testimonials of these almost miraculous cures made by these great specialists are on file The work of these doctors is not only endorsed by the people they have cured but by the press as is shown by the fonf thnt rlailv naners all over the I United States are continually publish ing tho accounts of cures made by tnese Hot Springs doctors This wonderful Hot Springs system of treatment is what Dr Kinsey is bringing to McCook He will be here only three days and while here will receive patients at the Pfllmnr hntnl narlor Consultation and examination are free All patients who are found to be curable will be treated free of charge except for the cost of the medicines used Those who are found to be in curable will not be treared at any price If you are to be made Dr Kinsey the Palmer Remember PAINT THAT IS PAINT The opinion is sometimes expressed that
