RESULT OF INVESTIGATION
Opinions Of Local Practitioners Too
General In Scope
The Proposition That Consumption in
Its Earlier Stages Can Be Cured
by Reputable Physicians.

In discussing the general proposition
that consumption is an incurable dis
ease the local medical practitioners have
been misunderstood. There are RENEE
dies and treatments administered in this
city by which the first and second stages
of tuberculosis have been cured accord
ing to the testimony of great many pa
tents who have taken the treatment
and given testimony as to its real merits
and results.
In every case, however, these treat
ments have been administered by ply
sicians of repute and of unquestioned
ability. The physicians have creden-
tials to establish their standing in the
profession. 1t was not necessary for
them to invoke technicalities to avoid
prosecution for failing to comply with
all regulations, state, county and munic-
ipal, which govern the practice of medi-
cine In this city. They are registered
physicians with proper diplomas and
they are duly registered at the court
house.
THE KOCH INSTITUTE.
Drs. Ballard and Whitman of the
Koch medical institute are both physi-
clans of repute. DR.. Whitman has prac-
ticed in Los Angeles for three years and
has established an excellent reputation.
They administer the famous Koch rem
edy, which has been applied successfully
all over the world to the cure of con-
sumption. Here in Los Angeles Drs.
Whitman and Ballard have given this
treatment to hundreds of patients with
the result of hundreds of cures, for all
of which they have proof in the shape Of
letters or oracular evidence.
Among others Rev. John A. B. Wilson
of the First M. E. church of this city
gives to Drs. Ballard and Whitman a
strong endorsement as the following let
ter will show:
Dr. G. H. Whitman-My Dear Friend:
In response to your kind offer to treat
any phthisical persons in whom felt
personal interest, I, as an experiment.
commended to you, about six weeks ago,
DR.. A. G.. Smith. whose consumptive
condition 1t did not take q professional
to read.
He called upon me today, and Is, so
far as non-professional mind can dis
Germ, entirely free from any Of the
symptoms of consumption which were
SO painfully apparent six weeks ago.
The doctor believes himself to be cured
and tells me that 1t is entirely due to
your improved tuberculin" treatment.
My own opinion is worth nothing pro-
fessionally, but as a layman, under
standing only what outward appear
ances indicate, the change wrought in
my friend in the brief period of six
weeks seems marvellous, and I owe 1t
to you and to DR.. Ballard to say so, and
to thank you for the personal kindness
(signed) JOHN A. B. WILSON.
Mrs. D. F. Riordon, wife of the auditor
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany. who lives at Chicago, who took
treatment from April to July, states
II am positive now that every trace Of
that dread disease, consumption, has
been eradicated."
Mrs. A. B. Hastings. writing under
date of August 28th says: Your treat
ment proves to be just what needed,
and in my case complete cure for tu-
berculosis."
w. P. Caray Of 217 South Bunker Hill
avenue, says that he had serious lung
trouble, and that after two months
treatment all symptoms had disap-
peared. He adds that he has been COM
pletely restored
There is a multitude Of other testimo-
malls that could be furnished as to the
efficacy of the Koch cure. Any one of
the parties who have been referred to
give their experience gladly to the
doubling one.
JUSTICE TO WORTHY PRACTI-
TONERS.
The German American Expert Spe-
cialists, who are established in the
Byrne building, are all physicians of
repute, with credentials about which
there can be no dispute. They are grad
yates of the best medical colleges in the
world, and have registered at the
city hall and the court house. These
phvSiciaps have testimonials from HIM
dreds of patients whom they have
treated, clearly establishing the fact
that they have accomplished a great
work in Los Angeles in healing the
sick.
Their form of treatment covers all
chronic diseases, including consump-
ton, and in the first stages of this dis
ease they have effected some marvellous
cures. These physicians can substanti-
ate every claim they make now or
ever have made.
