Te United Doctors and Wns Cured.
It Is 11 common thin for doctors to
aay: ''Oh, the child will outgrow It,"
when speaking of some obscure ailment
whleh they are unable to either diagnose
or treat. But loo ofien the disease grows
falter than the child and finally ruins a
life whleh could have been made happy
bad the doctor been a real physician; a
true specialist who could lend aid to the
sick insteaJ of blindly trusting- all to
cature and ts luck.
A ce ef epilepsy which had begun
la childhood and gradually grown worse
as ths ehll grew te womanhood and
which baffled all the doctors, was re
cently cured by the United Doctors, who
Lava their Omaha Institute on the second
floor ef the Neville Block, corner loth
aud Harney streets.
Ttie patient was Mrs. J. R. Walsh, of
71T Berth 17th Bt.. So. Omaha, Neb.,
who new writes the following letter:
Omaha, Nob., Nov, 22, 19i)9.
Dear Doctors:
Since 1 was a child of twelve yeara I
Lave been a sufferer from epilepsy, never
Laving been free from that terrible dis
ease during all of that time. I was a
sourre of great worry to my friends and
relatives and my health became very poor
en account cf the repeated attacks. I
was at times not safe to go out on the
street alone for fear of having an epi
leptic fit In some place of dancer. I tried
many good physicians and all the rem
edies I heard of, but only went from bad
te worse
Having heard of your wonderful work I
In this disease, I finally called at your
etflee In February, this year, and com
menced the treatment of the United Doc
tors. During the first month of the
treatment J had several spells but they
became lighter and lighter and finally
la Arrtl ceased altogether. I have not
had a spell since that time, which Is
vsr seven months, nor the least sign of

icine for that disease for some time. I
Ted entirely cure! of my awful affliction
and owe my cure entirely to to the

The moment the resolution was adopted
Councilman Jensen drew his pass from
his pocketbook and paseed it over to City

however, that any of the other council
men were In the same hurry to hand over
their pasteboards, but It Is presumed
they will do so, seeing that they voted
for the resolution. Mayor Maloney said,
however, that the resolution was some
thing he had not herrd of until it was
read by the clerk and he had not made
up his mind last night whether he would
hand over his pass or not.
