"Of all sad words front tongue or pen fThe saddest are these: 'It might have tecn. " s ' t. The above quotation applies very aptly to the case ot any of the doctor who lacked the requisite knowledge and skill to cure J, D. Clark; who has been a sick Wan for the past sixteen years. Mr. Clark was in such a condition that he states J he would gladly have paid a fee of a j" $1,000 to any doctor who could have cured d him. But ho found no such a one, though 1 he tried many. At last without hope of being cured, but with despair and deeper- atlon In ' Ms heart, he called upon the United Doctors. He did not pay them 11,000, for they only demand a modest fee less than $100. But what '.a much mors Important to Mr. Clark, they gave lilm back his health and life. Speaking of the matter yesterday, Mr. Clark said: "For over sixteen years I .have been almost a constant sufferer from constipation and its lung chain of symptoms. ' If I did not take some physic every night; nyi bowels would not move at all. ' As' a result, of my constipation 1 bad a great deal of headache. My nerves became a wreck and at times I was Utterly unfit for business. The worst of it waa the more physic I took, the more I bad to take, and (t seemed there was do cure for me that I would Buffer the rest of my Jlfe." T often made the remark that I would .gladly give. $1,000 for a cure. I tried everything mnay doctors had failed to cur rue and 1 tried all kind of patent medicines. Many things helped for a while, but none were curative. Finally I went to see Dr. Ben W. Kinney of the United Doctors, who have their Institute on the second floor of the Neville block, corner lth and Harney streets, Omaha. Dr. Klnsey said he could cure me and did sot charge me $1,000, nor even $100. He has cured nie sound and well. My ache and pains ate gone. My bowels move naturally, my nerves are oulit up I nd I fe.ltke a new man. I elve all praise to the United Doctors' system of treatment. The reason 1 went to tho United Doctors was that I met a travel ing man on the train, who had been cured of rheumatism and kidney trouble by their . treatment In the East. . "I am ' real estate dealer. I .ravel a 1 great deal, but my permanent address U Eureka. III., and I would gladly answer any Inquiries about my case. I wo tl J not take a thousand dollars or five thousand . dollars for the goat I received. - - (Signed) JOHN D. CLARK."
