A WONDERFUL CURE.

VIM. Van Houten Badly Injuries His Ankle
and Is Pronounced Incurable by Many
Doctors-Entirely Cured at the Electrical
and Medical Institute.
VIM. Van Houten is an intelligent Hol-
lander living at No. so Worden street. A
year ago last fall he fell from a roof and
sprained and badly smashed his right ankle.
The injury was very painful one at the
time, but it was not thought to be very seri-
Gus. Time passed on and the sprain proved
very obstinate, defying the best medical
skill in the city. Doctor after doctor was
tried, but without avail. Resort was had to
liniments and all the lotions known for
treatment Of this class s. of ailments, but they
spondent and concluded that he must remain
a cripple for life. Being a poor man having
large family he felt compelled to work. in
consequence of which he passed night after
night of the most excruciating agony. Doing
such work as unloading carloads of wood,
he was compelled to drag his injured foot
after him. there not being strength in his
ankle to support his weight. Last January
his friends began to advise him to go to the
Electrical and Medical Institute, whom they
had heard had made some wonderful cures.
Mr.. Van Houten was skeptical and thought
that all had been done for him that was pos
sible, but on January g. 1891, yielding TO the
opportunities of his friends, he went to the
institute on lonia street and began course
of electrical treatment. From the moment
he began dates his improve vement, and yester-
day, in an interview with an Eagle repre-
sentative, Mr.. Van Houten stated that his
ankle was nearly well; that he suffered no
more pain, and that they had done wonders
for him. Mr.. Van Houten told the above
story to the Eagle man with q sincere air
that was convincing, and its truth cannot be
doubted. He is naturally very grateful and
urges all sufferers to consult with them. Mr..
Van, Houten can be found at the city wood
yard, near the Jail, where he can be seen and
talked to-Grand Rapids Eagle.
THE INSTITUTE referred to in the above
is at present treating from 100 to 200 people
daily-which was established two years ago
on the same basis that the ELECTRICAL
AND MEDICAL INSTITUTE now located
on the corner of Fifth street and Penn
avenue, and have in operation the same
MEDICAL ELECTRIC INDUCTION BAT
TERIES AND APPLIANCES which are
PATENTED and used only in these INSTI-
TUTES.
This treatment, combined with medi,
and surgery, which are all supplied in the In
stitute, has proved successful in such dis
