branches In the East and in other parts of
the country as has the DR. keeley, but the
reasons why the Morrell is the better cure
are First, It is a cure IN all cases; second
treatment does not interfere with usual EN-
ployment and third, no sore arms or other
disagreeable accessories accompany the
treatment.

And without waiting for an answer the
doctor continued, ''pf course the men who
have been cured by the keeey treatment

that which has been tried and very properly

to be able to receive the treatment without

You have doubtless read how DIR. Morrell

several copies of the Mail and Express con-

work attained by means of the cure in New
