CURED.

The doctors of California, and indeed
the world over, are just like every other
human being, no better, no worse. They
are selfish, mercenary and often dis
honest. They deceive their patients ana
even themselves. They have been trying
since date beyond the memory of man
to arrive at a method of treatment or
to find remedy that would cure con-
sumption, and how we'll they have sue
ceeded is too we'll known by themselves
and by the world at large 1t is indeed a
well-known fact that by all the ordinary
methods employed by physicians for the
treatment of tuberculosis there are no
cures. The fate of a person who has
tuberculosis we'll developed is consid-
cred to be sealed.
And now it has been established be-
yond doubt by numbers of well-known'
absolute and undoubted cures that a
cure has been discovered, and that 1t Is
being effectively used daily in Los An
geles by DR.. w. Harrison Ballard, and
few of the ethical and respected profes-
sion are loud in their condemnation OF
DR.. Ballard and his treatment. and why
Because their patients are going to DR..
Ballard and are being cured, and their
prerogatives as the family physician are
being trampled upon and their revenues
are being seriously affected. Their
selfishness knows no bounds when their
opinions are not respected and. their ad-
vice not followed, and their mercenary
instincts are active when they see pa
tiente who are paying them good money
for accomplishing nothing go to another
who is able to cure them. They even at
tempt to dissuade and deceive the pa
tient, and represent that they have tried
the treatment and that it is no good, or
they say they have the same treatment
but they do not recommend them to take
it, or they say that they have something
which is just as good, etc. All OF these
representations do sometimes pre-
vent people from taking advantage OF
a treatment whereby they might be
cured The blame lies at the door of the
physician who advised against taking
the treatment. Jealousy and sometimes
false idea as to the propriety of ethics
prompt these physicians to advise
against what they oftentimes know
nothing about. There are many notable
exceptions of course to these and there
are many who are honest enough to
either advise trial of the treatment, or
to say they know nothing about it and
that they will not stand in the way of
anything which may be benefit to the
patient. There are many, too, who in
the interests Of their patients and Of
themselves, as well as of humanity in
general, have investigated the
claims made by Dr. Ballard and are now
loud in recommending the treatment to
their patients. and many who are TAX
ing up the use of the treatmen. them
selves in their own practice.
While it is not good business pol
icy to decry methods used by others
It is only necessary to say that
every one should beware of un-
scrupulous persons or physicians
who may try to supplant the im-
proved Koch treatment by some other
which they have no hesitancy in say
ing is "the same thing" or is "just as
good or better" Under such circum-
stances all that is asked is for each one
to refresh his mind as to the satisfactory
results that are being obtained by DR..
Ballard. by his improved Koch trea tment,
which cannot be duplicated by any
other. Look up the testimonials offered
by DR.. Ballard from his patients, also
call at his offices and be convinced that
he is doing what he claims. Talk with
anyone of the many patients now being
treated or with any one of the scores of
cured patients.
The fullest investigation is invited by
