thanks for the many acts of kindly ap-
probation shown him. and also for the

Mr.. Chase also bespeaks for the present

that although he is no longer connected
with the present firm, his long connec-
tlon with it will ever cause it's continued

A Wonderful Cure.

The wonderful recovery of Miss Erma
Bader has astonished the people gener-
ally as much as it has surprised and
pleased her family. For months her
condition had greatly alarmed her friends.
She had a nervous trouble OF some kind
with spasms and sometimes unconscious
ness. Everything that physicians could
do, seemed to have been done, but she
failed in spite of it all and was fust los
ing her little strength, when DIR. McEl-
wee (who visits Viroqua once monthly
was consulted. After most thorough
examination, he located the trouble at
particular point in the brain and said
that she could be cured. The remark
able thing is, that in less than twenty
four hours, improvement set in, and for
the first time in months Miss Erma got
refreshing sleep. Now after three
months shs seems quite herself once
more. That her mother is more than
grateful 10 DIR. McElwee for saving her
child's life cannot be wondered at.
1t would seem that The doctor is
really the master of these stubborn
chronic diseases, as case after case is
noted that ssget well after trying his
treatment. Gases that have been given
up, many times, by other physicians
In rheumatism, asthma and bad stom-
Goh troubles, the doctor lays his success
to using line of remedies that he pro-
cures in Germany, which seem to be
certain cures.
