Bert Walden, chief of the Wichita
fire department, whose Office in the
city building overlooks the little city
Of tents belonging to the company, is
enthusiastic in his praise of the Ger
man-Americsn staff of Physicians and
Surgeons. He said: ~ have suffered
for many years from catarrh, which
had reached such an advanced stage
that one of my nostrils had nearly
grown shut. l had severe headache
and experienced the usual effects Of
this disagreeable disease. The doctors
have been treating me for weeks and
now l ana entirely relieved. My nasal
passages are restored to their nomral
condition and have no more head
aches. 1 am delighted with the treat
ment have received. Many cases
have come under mypersonal observa-

have been successfully treated bythese
specialists. They are very excellent
gentlemen and treat every body
right"
James Braitsch, the we'll known
shoe dealer, was interviewed. He
said: "My boy has for long time
been afflicted with what every doctor
in town that 1 consulted pronounced
hay fever and they doctored him for
that until they considered the case
hopeless and then advised me to take
him to Colorado as the only means OF
saving his life. / had all arrange

American Staff of Physicians andSur-

to the tent in carriage, as also the

better. He is nearly well now and |
hope and believe he will be entirely
well within the time granted by DR..
Keith as necessary to effect a perma.

G. =. Smith, ex-city clerk was asked
his opinion Of the German-Ameri-

given splendid satisfaction in every
case that has come under my notice
and have unbounded confidence in
them. My wife, you know, has been
sufferer for twelve years. | had nc
idea they could cure her, for eminent
specialists whom | have consulted In
the east told me that her case was
hopeless. However | took her to see
these doctors. They examined hel
and pronounced her incurable, but
said they would give her some medi
cine that would make her easier
They would not take cent for the
prescription which had the effect they
said it would. If they were quack'
they would have got all the money
out of me they could. Every body

delighted"
