The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1897-05-21
THIS is NO LIE.
What Man sees with his own Eyes and
hears with his own Ears, ne
is bound to believe.

When it has been stated i'm this pa
per that Dr. Diamond Dick had re-
ceived visits on such and such day
from his old patients in other cOun-
ties, a great many readers have
doubtless thought that the statement
was only an advertising exaggeration.
| We were not real sure ourselves that
the Doctor was not rOmancing little
until last Wednesday when we went
up to the Commercial hotel for this
weeks advertising copy The Doctor
was engaged with a patient and ex-
cused himself for a few moments ask
ing the lad man to step into the
parlor and wait until he should he at
leisure. In the parlOr the REGISTER
man was introduced to Mr.. c. o. Rid
orr, who lives in Anderson county,
near Lone Elm, and to a neighbOr of
his, Mr.. P. Kellogg. The
conversation soon brought out the
fact that both of these gentl emen had
come all the way to lola to consult
with Diamond Dick, the one for his
wife and the other for his daughter.
Mr.. Ridlorr said,tha' he had consulted
hundreds of doctors with regard to
his wife, at an expense of not less
than two thousand dollars, AMI she
had received absolutely no benefit
until she began taking treatment
from DR.. Diamond Dick about two
months ago. At that time she was
suffering from complication of COM
plants from which it seemed impOs-
BILE that she should ever recover. But
she began to improve almost from the
day she began DR.. McClelland's treat
ment, and he was convinced that her
complete recovery was only ques-
ton of time. Mrs. RidlOrr soon came
in from the Doctors consultation
room and her testimony was even
stronger than that of her husband
declaring that the Doctors diagnosis
of her case and his success in the
treatment of it, were no less than
wonderful. Before leaving the hotel
Mr.. and Mrs. RidlOrr gave the Doctor
the following testimonial, the original
of which may be seen by any one who
cares to verify these statements:
lola. Kansas, May 10, 1897.
DIR. G h. McCIelland, diamond
Dick): My wife has been on the sick
list tor many years. I have spent
hundreds of dollars for her relief, but
all i'm vain. No one seemed TO under
stand the nature of her complicated
diseases. l watched the result of
your treatment on several of my
neighbors who had been suffering
with chronic diseases. They all
seemed to get well. AT least they en-
dorsed you, and so after your stay of
four months at Garnett l concluded to
try your system of treatment for my
wife. 1t is ten weeks to-day since
she hogan taking your wonderful
remedies, and she is almost cured, al
though she still has seven months
treatment to axe. She has gained
ten pounds in flesh, her appetite is of
the best, her food is properly received
and digested, her color, which was
very bad, is four shades lighter, and
in spirits she is fast becoming her old
time self again. l have sent you sew
eraI patients from my section, incIud-
ing some of my near kin. l live Is
miles from lola and will gladly an
swer all inquiries from anyone inter-
ested in your skill as healer.
1 remain truly yours
CO. RIDLER.
Now what are you going to do
about case of that kind? Doesn't it
begin to look after all as if this long
haired Medicine Man can really do
the things he claims he can?
Maybe you have the impression
that DR.. Diamond Dick Is ignorant
and uncouth., If so, read the follow
ing articles from his zen and see what
you think then:
CHRONIC RHEUMATISM
Chronic rheumatism is a peculiar
chronic rheumatic inflammation affect
ing most frequently the joints, but
which may occur in the fibrous, syno-
vial, muscular, or in fact, any tissue
or organ of the body. Chronic rheu-
matism is very generally the result of
neglected or maltreated acute rheu-
matism, an active inflammatOry few
er being developed, and the local
rheumatic inflammation being pas
sive or chronic character. When
chronic rheumatism is not a conse-
quence of acute disease it arises from
the same causes, and is developed in
the same manner as the acute variety
