ONE OF WICHITAS BEST KNOWN
STOCK DEALERS TELLS A SOME
WHAT REMARKABLE STORY.
Captain Billings Relates an Experience
ofPublic Interest.

Captain s Billings, who does business
at No. 3, Exchange building, is an old
resident of Wichita. and a well known
dealer in live stock. Therefore it was that
when that gentleman sought the ear of a
reporter yesterday and impressively re
lated the following story with the suggeS-
ton that its publication might be fruitful
of greatest good to many, it was written
down verbatim as uttered, and is herewith
printed entire:
"The reason why ! wish to tell you my
story" began the captain, ''is because /
received a copy of the Health Messenger a
few DAYS ago, a valuable ght-cOlumn
paper published by DR. f. c. billings, of
135 North Market street, and thus diScOv-
cred that the doctor had returned to
Wichita to practice. 1t was when the
doctor was here before, something over
three years ago, that | was led to make his
acquaintance and finally to undergo a
course of treatment by him the result Of
which has been so extremely astonishing
that | cannot help thinking it my duty to
make the facts public.
For more than ten years | had been
practically unfit for business, owing to
frequent attacks of sick headache that
would keep me in my bed from one TO two
DAYS. And such suffering and torture as
| endured when these attacks came on no
one can ever tell unless they have had the
same experience, and | feel confident that
there are but very few who have had such
overwhelmingly severe, attacks as We're
mine. and remember they had come every
ten or eleven days for more than that
number of years
Had | tried other physicians before DR.
Dillingss | should say had. | did not
suffer all these years without seeking help
and | sought it at the hands of the very
best physicians and specialists to be found
in the nited States, TOO, and paid them
enormous fees, as well as large sums OF
money for travelling and other expenses
which my persistent efforts TO get well
neceSSltated.
Not one of all the doctors employed
previous to DIR. Dilliugs, nor any change
of climate or altitude did me any good
whatever. and TO say that | was dis
coUraged and long had been. Is 10 tell the
truth though by the urgent recommends
ton of friends | decided TO try just once
more. and DR.. billings was the one | was
urged TO try and did try, ana DR.. billings
WAS the physician who cured me. | don
mean relieved me, mind You, but cured
me. for | have not had the slightest indi-
cation of headache from the time treat
ment ceased TO this day. over three years.

way. and want to be counted among those
who recommend the doctor

self and wife shall do all we can to make
DR. billings truly great skill known

the public that he offers 10 serve.
Nc amount Of money, however large,
would be the least temptation TO me to
take up my old life with its suffering and
