There is hardly a reader of these col
umns but knows that for years catarrh
IN any of its complicated stages has been
considered incurable and there has been
belief in The popular mind.
One reason for this belief arises from
the fac1, that the general practitioner and
the family physician has never been able
10 give the proper time, attention and
treatment that are required to effect a
cure of catarrhal diseases.
Another reason, and by no means the
least important one, is brought about
by the workings of these Self-Styied spec
lallStS referred to in these columns last
week. as that class of men who exact
eXorbitant fees from the sick for queS-
tlonable services and then fail to cure or
even give relief.
When sufferer from chronic catarrh
goes 10 one OF them, he is charged all
and more usually than he can afford TO
pay, with the promise that he will be
cured. He spends all his money and is,
as is usually the case, in a worse cOndi-
ton after he is through with the treat
ment than he was before commencing it.
Relieved of all his money, worse dis
eaSed than ever before. he becomes dis
ccuraSed and makes up his mind that
his catarrhal trouble is incur2ble, and
so the general belief is established. This
is one of the great evils that Dr., G.. w
Shores, the peoples doctor, IS over
coming, by his perfected treatment that
cures and his famous system of a low
and nominal fee-rate 10 every sufferer

office but what there is presented an eX-
ample of the methods of robbing the
sick resorted to by these self-styled
specialists.
One lady recently said. 'I was con-
WINGED sometime ago by the honest teS-
timony of good people in this community,
that Doctor Shores treatment that had
cured so many others would cure me,
and had made up my mind to go to Doc
tor Shores but was advised against my

another doctor who calls himself a spec
ialiSt. He charged me $500 for every
time I visited his Office. hurt me terri
bly, every time he treated me, and did
me no good whatever, in fact after five
months under his care and treatment l
was so much worse that I thought my
trouble would unbalance my mind. Now.
however, 1 am in the right path, for
had the good sense to quit him and go to
Doctor Shores, and am getting cured
without being subjected TO painful treat
ment."
Another one. a gentleman well known
all over Salt Lake City. says: II

the most prominent self-styled spec
ialist in this county. In all hat
time he gave me no relief, bC- on
the contrary, 1 seemed to be getting
worse, and finally after consideration
and investigation, decided TO go to Doc
tor Shores. When 1 told this man what
my intentions were he was so enraged
and jealous that he almost tore his hair

the same as above. all going to show
the infamous practices resOrted TO by
men who call themselves specialists and
clothe themselves from the public gaze

he does the position of the sick peoples
friend, as we'll as the peoples doctor,
will expose these methods in every way
possible so that the public may avoid
coming in contact with them
Another emphatic example is presented
in the following statement from well
known lady resident Of Salt Lake City.
