Therefore we respectfully petition your

Proper Treatment

Proper Treatment
Miss Anna Pahkee, who was so i'll at 4O4
North Beaudry avenue some weeks ago,
was removed from there last Saturday by
order of DR.. Il. L. Yoakum to the rooms
OF Mrs. A. A. Huron, an experienced nurse,
on Seventh street, near Wall. Miss Pah-
kee had been i'll for several weeks previous
to her being sent to the Beaudry- avenue
house, the Christian Alliance society TAX
Ing care of her. This order believes in the
efficacy OF prayer and laying on of hands
and relegates medicine to the background
Miss Pahkee did not improve very much
by the Christian Alliance process. so Dr.
Yoakum had her removed to the home OF
Mrs. Huron. where the patient has been
given wines and medicines, with nourish-
ing food. Miss Pahkee is thought to have
had subacute Inflammation of the brain
but with the change of treatment Is now
believed to be In fair way to recover
At one time she had about $4,000, but all
of this has disappeared. AS she Is very de-
vout and was a street preacher, 1t is sup
posed she went through the money re-
lieving the many cases of distress which
came to her notice.
In the adjoining house resides Mrs. E
c. Thorver. an old woman IA years of age
She was at one time treated by the faith
curists" for cancer, but as they did no,
give her any relief she was sent to the
sanitarium on Grand avenue, where the
cancer was removed by the surgeon ir
charge. Since then her Alliance friends
seem to have deserted her.
