Mrs. Rooney told tho reporter how
Willie had suffered with cntarrh since
he was q little baby and added:
"Why, he was stuffed up so that sever
nj times henearly smothered to denth
aud we thought surely he would die.
Within II year or two ho kept getting
worse and We got doctors, who said he
had catarrh in tlie head, but they didn't
do him much good.
"At last my husband took Willie to
Philadelphia to sec prs. Mccoy and
WiIdman, Of 1922 Chestnut street. We
dtdn't exactly feel that we could afford
It, but my husband found the charges
low. 1t wasn't convenient, either, but
my husband argued that 1t was better
to have Willic's catarrh cured while he
was young and IL could be cured, than to
let 1t run until he grew up, when 1t
might be tcolate."
At this juncture Willie began to tell
the reporter how he used to have pains
over his eyes and how miserable he used
to feel and how poor his appetite used to
bc. But now," he said, II don't have
any moro pains in my head and l feel
like another boy and can eat lots"
"Willie got SO bad" continued Mrs
Rooney, chat he looked like little
walking ghost. We sent him to several
doctors, but Drs. Mccoy and Wildman
ara tho only doctors who could do him
any good. They cured him completely
iIo'sa different boy now. lie didn't us,
to cat any thing hardly but he eats splen
did now and lie Is great deal stoutei
Ohlhc's all right now and Drs. McCo,
and Wildman deserve all the credit Ii
the world for what they have done"
Mr. Rooney is delighted over the wa,
! Drs. Mccoy and Wildman treated hi
boy and is quire enthusiastic about tn
great atchange that has come over Will
since he trst took him to Drs. McCo,
and Wildman on thcllth of last August
