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
