Such concern is the Cook Remcd =
company, which is located in suite 80
Masonic temple in this city.
The standing and reliability Of this

commented upon by the Dispatch, and
just now it comes to the front with ;
cure SO remarkable that an account O

A Truly Marveiou. Cure
The case in question is that Of NJ
hoehrlg, prosperous young German
American Of IS East Twenty fifth
street Mr.. Roehrig inherited u pre-
disposition to skin disease When 1
years old he suffered much from ccze-
ma, but that in time was cured. Some
time ago he contracted blood poison.
The symptoms became alarming and
physician after physician was con
suited All tn il mlnistrations how
ever, seemed only to aggrayate the
disease. After almost every promi-
nent specialist in Chicago had tried ia
vain to alleviate his suffering Mr.
Rochrig acted upon the advice Of his
parents and went to Germany for the
express purpose of being treated 10y
the most eminent physicians of Eu-
rope. At Coburg he put himself un-
der the treatment of Drs. Kuhn and
Martinez, recognized by the medical
profession as authorities on diseases
Of the skin and blood. They succeed
ed no better than the many Chicago
doctors who had tried to cure Mr..
Roehrig's awful ailment. Meantime
the condition of the sufferer became
simply appalling.
They Could Not euro Him.

Europe were found unable to benefit
him Mr., Roehrig was ready oglve up
all hope. Relatives brought him
back to America to die Resigned to

dox practitioners and more modern
specialists, but as he constantly grew
worse MIR Roehrig was willing to quit
trying. Relatives, however, insisted
that efforts to cure be continued and
he again called numerous expert spe-
cialists. The result of their treat
ment was the same as before the trip
10 Europe.
The condition of the unfortunate suf-
terer was at this time truly ptia bic.
Life was worse than burden, not only
to himself but to his relatives and all
who came in contact with him. 1t
would be difficult to imagine TIE
measure of the mental and physical
torture that he underwent while in
The grasp of the dread poison Death
not only seemed imminent but the

able to wear shoes and was in every
way about as sorry looking speci-

Mr.. Roehrig began to take their
treatment Since beginning he has
