WHO ARE THE
Some Information About the Specialists Who
Will be in Plattsmouth on Tucs
l day, May 31st.
Since the announcement has been!
made in these columns that the Chief
Consulting Fhysician of the United
Doctors, who have their permanent
Nebraska institute located on the
second floor of the Neville Block,
corner of lGth and Ilarney sts., Omaha
Nebr., would pay a visit to the Riley
Hotel at Plattsmouth the question
lias been asked many times: Who
are the United Doctors and what do
they do? The answer is this:
The United Doctors, ns the name
implies, is an association of expert
specialists who have united to organ
ize a new school of medicine; a new
and more scientific and positive sys
tem of curing human ailments. For
centuries, the world has been full of
different "cults" and "isms" of medi
cine. We had the old root herb doc
tor with his bitter potions; the Allo
path with calomel and quinine in lfProic
doses; the Eclectic without his calo
mel; the Osteopath and the Chris
tian Scientist. Wre were doctored
by heat, by electricity, by btiths at
the Hot Springs, and by a multitude
of men and methods. Some of the
patients were cured, some died who
uliould have been cured. It was im
possible for the ordinary person to
say which method of treating dis
eases was the best, and the physi
cians of the various schools were so
biased that they could see good only
in their own method; all others were
necessarliy, bad.
Evidently there is good in all of
them,' for they all cure some cases.
Also, there is bud in all, for they all
failed at times and allowed misery to
remain or death to come where a cure
should have been effected.
A tremendous stride forward was
made, when the association of the
United Doctors was formed. The
founders of this association consisted
of eminent specialists from the various
schools of practice. Eclectics, Homeo
paths, Allopaths, Regulars and Irre
gulars met and agreed to drop their
prejudices and agreed to form a
new system 'of treatment, which would
embrace all the good points of the
old methods and leave out the bad.
The result of the efforts of the world
famous specialists of the various
schools, was the wonderful treat
ment now being used by the United
Doctors. All of this was not accom
plished in a day or two, but lms taken'
years of patient work by these spec
ialists in their great institutions in
the east; Homeopaths, Eclectics, Allo
paths, all working side by side, each
throwing away his old ideas when
he was convinced there was something
better, until at last out of the old
chaos and confusion, came a
new and perfect system, as it is now
used by the United Doctors.
The cost of these specialists was
great not only in the labor of forming
the new system of treatment, but
also in the effort it costs them to ig
nore their prejudice in favor of the
variuos schools in which they were
originally educated, But their rec
ord has been great in health and hap
piness restored to hundreds and thou
sands who were going to their grave in
misery, pronounced incurable by old
methods.
The wonderful new system of
medicine has cured thousands of
A Swimming Record.
Not long ago u tramp beat all
known records by swimming twenty-seven
miles in thirty minutes.
The feat was not undertaken volun
tarily. The liobo merely tried to
eteal a ride from St. Louis to Chi
cago on the rear of a locomotive
tender. When the train started he
fell over backward through (he
open munhole into the water tank.
The noise of the train drowned his
cries for help, and he was obliged
to swim until the first stop was
reached, at Alton. When taken out
he was nearly dead, but the engi
neer was so unfeeling as to call his
attention to the fact that the wa
ter was only four feet deep and he
might have stood up. The conduc
tor, equally unfeeling, asked him
for his ticket, but the hobo replied
that ho had come not by rail, but
by water. Exchange.

kidneys, skin, heart, lungs .bowels and
stomach, including rheumatism, neu
ralgia, appendicitis, gall stones, piles
goiter, rupture, disease of women and
diseases of men, which has been
pronounced incurable by other doctors
Louis Schultz, a prominent farmer
living on R. R. No. 2 Plattsmouth
Nebraska, says that for twelve years
he had been treating with his home
doctors those in Council Bluffs, Iowa,
and the best ones in St,;Paul, Minn.
He took the hot baths in Lincoln,
Nebraska, and even went clear to
Hot Springs, Ark., all of which gave
no relief. In speaking of his case he
says: "I went to the United Doctors.
TheyJ toldj me more about myself
and disease m ten minutes than all
the other doctors put together in all
the years before.
"Now, my stomach gives me no
trouble I eat any thing and digest
it perfectly; my kidneys are better and
rheumatism improving so rapidly in
this short time, that I am sure my re
covery will be complete."
N. C. Carlson, of Wausa, Nebr.
says, "I am now as well as I ever was
in my life. When I commenced
treatment with you, I was barely able
to walk, such was the pain I had.
Now, after taking your treatment
live months, I enjoy perfect health."
Mrs. Alice (Jriswold, of 1619
Frederick St., Omaha, Nebraska says
she had appendicitis in a very
severe form. She did not believe she
could be cured without a surgical
operation but took the United Doctors
treatment with little hope. After
the first two or three doses she began
to feel better and it less than a
month was entirely cured, and has no
return of the trouble since.
These people were cured in their
own homes, without surgical oper
ation and they are only a few out of
thre thousands who have been cured
by the United Doctors at their
various institutions throughout the
United States. These specialists have
hundreds and thousands of testimonies
from cured patients on file in their of
fice Any one interested in any par
ticular disease can secure the names
of patients who were cured of that
disease-by writing to the United
Doctors at their Omaha institute.
These testimonials arc from respon
sible people of Nebraska, and were
given voluntarily out of the gratitude
of their hearts, so you can believe im
plicitly what they tell you.
It is thisjwonderful all home treat
ment that the United Doctors are
bringing to Plattsmouth on Wed
nesday, May, 31st and while here
they will give consultation free, free
examination and free treatment ex:
cept for the cost of the medicines
used.
If you arc skeptical, write to the
United Doctors or the names and ad
dresses of patients whom they have
cured and you will be furnished
with as may as you may desire
to investigate.
Remember the United Doctor will
be here but one day and while here
will receive patients at the Riley
Hotel.

By BILL DAHLEN.
ICopyrlKht, 1910. by American Press Asso
ciation.! Very few people, except those who
possess Inside knowledge, are familiar
with the trials of a nianager of a
major league tall team ana with what
he has to contend. Let me tell you,
a managers path Is not strewn with
roses; but, on the contrary, It Is a po
sition beset with tribulations, of sleep
less nights and of hopes often unful
filled, particularly when conducting the
affairs of a losing club. The fans will
not stand for a persistent loser, and
the team which Is unable to make a
fairly good showing In the pennant
race soon loses support and Is termed
"lemons." "clucks." "dubs" and "has-
beens," and the leader of such a club
Is set down la the same class.
In the present day baseball eame
the manager Is the man who has to
stand or fall. It's up to hlra as far as
the public goes. And yet how many
of the fans who go to ball games know
or even care who the manager of a
team Is as long as It continues to win?
But if It loses wow! Then the man
ager gets It. and gets It good aud plen
ty. The fans only blame the manager.
They forget there Is an owner behind
the manager, who may be more to
blame than he.
In order to be a successful manager
In the major leagues today one must
possess a large amount of gray mat
ter, up to date Ideas and knowledge of
the Intricate points of play. Not only
must he have a full understanding of
the game, but he must be able to In
still the knowledge Into the heads of
the players comprising his team. The
majority of the lenders In the big
leagues today have knowledge of the
game through practical experience and
active participation as players. In fol
lowing the game day In and day out
all of Its scieutlfle features are pre
sented to them. Almost every day the
plays that are pulled off are the result
of deep study and mature meditation.
One of the big woes of a manager Is
the dally advice of patrons who by
word of mouth and numerous lettpra
Insist upon telling him how the team
snouid be run. Of course this advice
is thankfully received and Immediately
followed-nlt. If these fans had their
way changes In the team would be
made every day and new players
would be coming In by the train load.
The hardest part of a manager's
work lies In the selection of his team,
weeks and months being spent In
scouring the country for promising ma
terial If out of a half dozen selec
tions one real diamond star Is discov
ered the manager considers himself
very lucky, for the ratio of young
players making good In fast company
la only one in six.
In "the spring, when reporting time
arrives, the manager awakens to the
fact that his troubles are to commence.
With twenty or thirty players from
which to select a regular team his work
Is cut out for him, and he passes days
of anxiety and suspense. After many
trials bis choice Is made. Those who
have not displayed the requisite speed
are returned to the minors. The man
ager is filled with hope and fear. If
his team starts in a rut and every
thing breaks badly be knows that he
will pass a season of discontent and
become the target of abuse. Ills hours
will be full of unrest and devoid of
pleasure.
Then the fans will submit hundreds
of letters telling him of the players
that he should get, many of whom
could not be secured for love or mon
ey. When, be Is recognized on the
streets be Is met with sour looks and
coldly greeted. Then perhaps some
one will hurl the questions at biro:
"Why don't you do this?" "Why don't
you do that?"' "What do you mean
by letting the team go to the dogs?"
"Are you trying to kin the game?"
While the manager feels like soak
lag the Interrogator he Is forced to
smile ,a sickly smile and work his
thought ta.nk in an endeavor to pacify
the Irate fan. While sitting on the
players' bench he may have to listen
to such expresKms as these: "Bum
team.. "They're rotten," "Punk."
"Rank aggregation" and "Get a new
manager." After listening to these
comforting words for a couple of hours
each day the pilot of the team Is
thankful when darkness envelops the
land and he enn retire In restful slum
ber. A manager's berth In tho major
lenguea is no sinecure. It may con
tinue for one or a dozen years, accord
ing to the men sure of success attained,
snd the Incumbent Is' always on easy
street. In that rapnclty one may be
worthy of a medal today, the tin can

RESERVE POWER.
Value of a Surplus of Energy In the
Battle of Life.
In every department of life phys
ical, mental and ujrul reserves are
of incalculable value. Many people
work so hard that they exhaust
their physical energies each day.
They muke it a matter of con
science to wade through just us
much work as possible every day, no
matter how painfully it is done, not
realizing the tremendous value of
keeping oneself vigorous, buoyant
,No life can be vigorous if it is
not kept fresh, responsive, bv creat
physical and mental reserves. As
hibernating animals, like the bear,
in cold climates Bustain life through
the winter wholly upon the reserve
fat and nutriment 6tored up in. the
tissues, so patients who have bdIcd-
did physical reserves and resisting
power are carried through severe

BicKness and sustained through se
vere illnesses bv this reserve sur
plus, stored up vital power, while
tnose wno lack it, those who have
dissipated it in abnormal living and
excesses, often lose their lives even
in much less severe illnesses.
Great business men accomplish
marvels with their reserves. Manv
of them work but a few hours a
day, but they have 6uch tremendous
physical reserves and so much stor
ed up mental energy that they are
able to accomplish wonders in a
6hort time because of their ability
to work with great intensity and
powerful concentration. s
reople who keen their Dhvsical
and mental surplus drawn down
very low by working a great many
hours and almost never takinir va
cations, who do not fill their reserve
reservoir by frequent vacations and
by a lot of recreation and play, do
not work with anvthinir like the
freshness and mental vigor of those
who work fewer hours and con
stantly accumulate great reserve
power.
There comes intoeverv life worth
while a time when success will turn
upon the -reserve nower. It is then
a question of how long your stored
up energy win enable you to hold
out. There will often arise emer
gencies when your success will de
pend upon how much fight there is
in you. Success Magazine.
The Tree Moved.
M. Thouar durine his exnlora-

and warned him that one of the
least dancers of such a sleeD was
that a Toba spy would fall on him
and kill him with his own gun.
W hue we talked I observed that a
little tree which I had noticed ear
lier now occupied a different posi
tion. I fixed my attention on it
and saw that it moved almost im
perceptibly. I had seen such a phe

I pretended to sleep. The tree con
tinued to approach. Suddenly I
