THE HERALD'S GREAT OFFER
The Finest Apparatus In the County
Secured
An Outline Of the Plan-Two Days a
Week for the Benefit of
the Physicians

| In accordance with the determine
ton Of The Herald, recently announced
to hold free clinic for term of two
weeks in this city, a Tesla's improved
| "X-ray" apparatus has been ordered
! from Boston was shipped on the stt
by express. and its arrival is expected
daily.
The Herald, in its desire to accomplish
in this clinic the best results obtainab BILE
has spared no expense, and the very best
machine manufactured will be used.
DR.. Armand N. Ravold of st. Louis,
who has just returned from a trip
through Europe in the investigation of
this wonderful discovery of Professor
Roentgen. writes Of the machine or
dered by The Herald. that it is super
ior to any in Europe"
DR.. Heber Roberts of st. Louis, for
merly surgeon to the Illinois Central
railroad, and the Northern Pacific rail-
road, has at his laboratory the dupli-
cate of this machine, and with it has
accomplished better results than has
been hitherto attained by this myster-
ious force. and he writes that it is the
best in the world" The machine will
be more fully described upon it's arrival,
and the public duly notified
An X-ray laboratory will be opened
at The Herald editorial rooms on East
Fourth street and free clinics conducted
by DR.. Finis E. Yoakum. Two
days in the week will be set apart for
physicians resident in the city, while
examinations for the patients of nom
resident physicians will be accorded at
any time by appointment.
This will be the only limitation set
upon applications for examination.
On all other days. the free clinic will
be held for the benefit of the public,
and any sufferer accorded a free ex-
animation. Professional ethics will be
strictly observed by The Herald, and
no case given publication, without the
full consent of the person examined or
his or her physician, if there be one in
change.
The Herald extends a cordial invita-
ton to all physicians to avail them
selves of the benefit to their patients
to be derived from this free clinic
In order that this may be done syste-
matically and thereby avoid misunder-
standings, and these examinations be
held in the order of the applications as
they are made, physicians are invited
to confer with Dr. Yoakum, at his Of
flee in the Bradbury block, after the
clinic is definitely announced to be
given, in order that a day and hour
may be set for the examination of the
patients.
No X-ray photography will be en-
ployed in making these examinations,
as 1t would consume too much time,
and many physicians and sufferers
would necessarily be disappointed in
not securing an examination.
In this way 1t will only consume one
tenth the time in making examinations,
and physicians having their patients
in charge can instantly and plainly see
the character an extent Of the ailment
and know just how to treat the same:
and in this way 1t Is hoped all sufferers
from mysterious ailments of the sys-
tenn may derive the great benefit of
free examination.

DR.. Heber hobart of st. Louis, who
with his improved Tesla machine has
been conducting most elaborate inves-
tigatioas recently, declares that with
the new apparatus and Horoscope,
every part of the interior of the body
can be seen; internal tumors and dis
eased organs come into view, and the
heart is observed in it's movements, and
the ease of diagnosing medical and sur
gical diseases has advanced thereby
more in the past six months than any
previous 100 years." sa. No..
