had told us he was going to make a
visit out to the Pacific Coast, and we
1 must have conceived the erroneous
idea that he had sold out his old
| home from that fact, as so many are
and have done, and the editoral
noodle got muddled in John’s case.
We are glad, however, that this sec
tion of the country is not to lose him
to the Western Coast.

One thing sincerely t o be regretted

was the illness of Friend Curry, who
has been quite ill the past number of

Remarkable Success of these Tel
ented Physicians in the Treatment
of Chronic Diseases.
Offer Their Services
Free of Charge
The United Doctors, licensed by
the state of Nebraska for the treat
ment of deformities and all nervous
and chronic diseases of men, women,
and children, offer to all who call on
this trip, consultation, examination,
advice free, making no charge what
ever, except the actual cost of the
med icine. All that is asked in re j
turn for these valuable services is'
that every person treated will state
the result obtained to their friends
and thus prove to the sick and afflict
ed in every city and locality, that at
last treatments have been discovered
that are reasonably sure and .certain
in their etleet.
These doctors are considered by
many former patients, among Araer
ca’s leading stomach and nerve spe
cialists and are experts in the treat
ment of chronic diseases and so great
and wonderful have been their results
that in many cases it is hard iudeed
to find the dividing line between
skill and miracle.
Diseases of the stomach, intestines,
liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart,
spleen, kidneys, or bladder, rheuma
tism, sciatica, diabetes, bed-wetting,
leg ulcers, weak lungs and those af
flicted with long-standing deep-se&£e<i
chronic diseases, that have baffled
the skill of the family physicals,
should not fail to call.
According to their system no more
operations for appendicitis, gall
stones, tumors, goiter or certain forms
of cancer. They were among the first
in America to earn the name of the
“Bloodless Surgeons,"’ by doing away
with the knife, with blood and with
all pain in the successful treatment
of these dangerous diseases.
If you have kidney or bladder troub
les bring a two-ounce lx>ttle of vour
urine for chemical analysis and mi
croscopic examination.
Deafness often has been cured in
sixty days.
No matter what your ailment may
be. no matter what others may ha ve
told you, no matter what experience
you may have had with other physi
cians, it will be to your advantage to
see them at once. Have it forever
settled in your mind. If your case is
incurable they will give you such ad
vice as may relieve and stay the dis
ease. Do not put off this duty you
owe yourself or friends or relatives
who are suffering because of your
sickness, as a visit at this time may
help you.
Remember, this free offer is for on*
day only.
Married ladies must; come with
their husbands and minors with their
parents.
