words, "Rest" and "Otto"' in purple vio
lets. Another waa a large floral shield

almost entirely covered with an unkightly
sore, and which was cured In 12 day by
the mild treatment administered hy- the
United Doctors al their Omulu Institute,
at the corner of Kth and Harney streets.
I was at this time living In Chicago,
and my husband. Clarence P. McDonald,
who la secretary of tha Chicago yally
Tribune, took me to all the leading spe
cialist In Chicago. Horn of them diag
nosed the raae as cancer, others called It

able portion of the cheek and graft new
skin on.
From Chicago, I came to my old home
In Omaha, and was treated here by two
of the most prominent physicians in the
city, who diagnosed my case a lupus or
tuberculosis of the skin, and the only hope
they promised waa in the use of the
X-ray. I therefore took X-ray treatment
at St Joseph' Hospital for a long tlnio.
While my nose had been gradually grow

ceived In Chicago, it grew worse muirti
more rapidly under the X-ray treatment,
and I had given up all hope of obtaining
a cure, and had about made up my mind
to submit to an operation, a suggested
by the great Chicago specialist, when I
saw your advertisement !n tha news
papers, and called at your offloe one week
ago laat Wednesday. You did not promise
me a cure, but told me you would try to
relieve me. I accordingly oommenced
your treatment on November 11th. In
this short apace of twelve days, there
ha been a miraculous change In my con
dition. The medicine you prepared for
me seemed to be exactly the light treat
ment. It waa soothing and healing, whlls
all other treatments .were very painful.
I am now practically well, and feel like a
different woman.
Before having this experience under
your treatment, I would not have believed
that ao great a change In a person' health
could take place In so short a time, and
give you all credit for curing me, and
saving me from that terrible operation.
of medicine which you gave, me, I felt
that I was paying an enormoua price for
the very small amount of medicine, but
since I have aeen what that little bottle
of medicine has done for me, I feel that
It was the best Investment I ever made
In my life. It would have beon cheap at
a thousand times the price.
Tou are welcome to publish this letter
In the newspapers or use It In any way
you see fit. I only hope that by writing
thla letter. I may be able to pemuade
some who are skeptical to place their case
In your hands and oe cured aa I have
been. I would be pleased at all time to
answer any Inquiries from those who may
be Interested in my case. Vour grateful
patient.

The unprecedented number of patients
who have called at the United Doctor
Institute for treatment made It impossible
for them to ve and examine them alL
As a conKt-quence, any who desired to
take advantage of the grand free offer
were unable to dp ao, even though they
watted patiently for a number of hour. In
order to treat all alike, the Unite! Doo
tori have extended their free offer to all
who call before December 20th. This will "
give everybody an opportunity to take
u1antage of the offer of free examination
und free treatment except for the cost of
t'te medicine. Additional rooms have been
leased In the Neville block, corner of Kth
and Harney street, and cither members
of the staff of apeclallxts ,ara here ta
assist In the work, so that In the future.
It Is hoped that all who call will be able
to see the doctors and get a free examina
tion. Those who can be cured will be ac. , v
cepted for treatment and the only charge' 'f
that Is md them. Is for tha medlrlns '
used. Incurable cases are aet accepted
