A STRANGE CASE|
That Baff|ed the Skill Of the Most
Eminent Physicians Of the Country.
Cured by DR.. +. b. Smith and Staff
at 312 Wyoming Avenuc-Thc
Most Powerful Magnetic
Physician Living.

Mr.. John Camp, aged so years, gray hair.
brown eyes, weight when in health 1S0
pounds, had always enjoyed good health
until about four years ago, wlren he no.
ticed the muscles of his left hand were
rapidly wasting away until the hand was
a mere skeleton. About this time the
muscles of the right hand and forearm be-
gan to waste and finally extended over his
whole body until he became living skeie-
ton, 1t frequently happens in muscular
aJOphy that when a single muscle has
Verished the disease stops at this point.
But generally, however, the disease pro-
crosses until 1t has extended over the
whole body and every muscle has perished.
Hence the name PROGRESSIVE
MUSCULAR ATROPHY. There Is no
great amount of pain experienced as a
rule, but as the muscles continue to waste
away the patient becomes feeble and fin
ally helpless. This was the condition of
Mr.. Camp. When brought to DR.. Smith he
was SO weak and feeble he could not walk
or stand alone. He had tried the skill OF
physicians far and near, but in spite OF all
they could do he had continued to grow
worse until his weight was less than a
hundred pounds. He had become thor
oughly discouraged and thought there was
no help for him few Of his most init
mate friends who had heard of the cures
made by DIR. +. Il. Smith and staff,
induced him to see DR.. Smith and make
one more effort to get well. He did so and
commenced treatment upwards of five
weeks ago and began to improve after the
second treatment. His muscles are rap
idly developing; he has gained fortyseven
pounds in flesh and 1t is only matter of
a short time when he will be n well man.
You can consult DIR. Smith and staff ut
3l2 Wyoming avenue from 8 a. m. to 0 p.
m. daily free of charge.
