BATTLING FOR LIFE
The Story OF Fight Which Has Lasted For More Than
Quarter Of Century-nOw Thousands of Lives
Have Been Saved by the Noble Work
of Worthy Institution

In their war against the various bodily
affections that torture unfortunate NOR
tails, the English and German Expert
Specialists use weapons peculiarly their
own. Their remedies are the choicest,
most expensive and most effective known
to the science of medicine, both in Eu
rope and America. They are COM
pounded exclusively from gums, barks,
berries, flowers, roots, leaves and plants;
no dangerous minerals or poisonous
drugs are ever dispensed. The institu
ton maintains a private laboratory in
which all prescriptions are filled by care
full and competent pharmacists.
Their appliances, including electric and
other necessary apparatus, are the latest
and most imp owed that human ingenu-
lty can devise and ample means can
procure.

Each of the five physicians who COM
pose the staff of the English and German
Expert Specialists is doctor of the high

ability and experience that make him
an expert Specialist in the truest and
strongest sense of the word.
