this daily mail increased from dozens
to hundreds, can be imagined. Dr..
Amick gave up at once his large prac-
tice to devote himself to the task, and
week later his equally celebrated
brother, Dr. NJ L. Amick, volunteered
his assistance. but when two weeks
ago, having at their own expense sent
out 2S)J test treatments. they found
there were over 4))) requests for the
medicines still unattended to, each
representing an impatient physician,
Dr. Amick telegraphed the Recorder
to withdraw the offer. This embar-

day, when the Recorder announced
that through its influence arrange

Amick, and for the month of March
