IA has been predicted in the the col

ing, August 3. During the two months
that they have been here they have done
an excellent business; 4S1 patients have
consulted them, of which 191 have since
been discharged az cured, 179 are still
taking treatment and rapidly improving,
- r. iected as incurable, while 80 left
promising TO return and take treat
ment. The prediction of their success
was due 20 the fact that they were well
known IN the copper country prior to
their coming here, as many OF our people
have been doctored by them in their De-
troit office The doctor stands well
among the profession, he recently having
been elected first vice president of the
Michigan State association OF ply sicians
and surgeons which was organized some
tine ago. In conversation the doctor
said: 81 am more than pleased with the
results accomplished in this Office, and
have a right to be, when you take every
thing into consideration. At first l hest
tated about coming rs ] knew the cop
per country has been visited periodically
by so.called specialists, magnetic healers,
faith cure and others who professed to
accomplish wonderful things, who would
come and remain for a couple of weeks
and then leave for parts unknown. But
my friends infested that l should come,
AMI did 40 With the determination OF
remaining and establishing permanent
branch, if 1t was necessary to remain six
months without seeing a patient; the
copper country can support more than
one specialist, providing they understand
their business and treat the people right;
every day some patient comes to my
office and tells NE that DR.. So-and-So was
here and after remaining a short while
would leave Such state of affairs is
certainly very unfortunate; but cannot,
for the world, see how anybody can in
trust their lives and money to some I'M
known specialist just because he adver-
tses himself as such Az for me, do not
want anybody to consult me until they
first find out who am and where I'm
from; the law OF this STATE requires every
physician who intends to locate perma-
nently in town to make an affidavit |
with the county clerk, stating where he
graduated, how long been in practic, ETC.,
and us | come under that law, you see
how easy it is for anyone to find out, il
they will only take the trouble to tele- |
phone to Houphton to the county clerks
Office, where the information can be had
just for the asking; or they can write to
Detroit and find out how long we have |
been established there, the reputation OF |
our institute, etc.
"Since locating there (Detrolt) 27,291 |
cases called on us for consultation, of
which "a III have been entirely cured, |
l ,406 r. jected az incurable, while 1.7GS |
are still taking treatment and rapidly |
OF course you understand |
these figures we're up to June /, 1897.

The fact is: I'll be between here and there
all the time. consider myself very for
