HIS WONDERFUL X-RAYs.
A visit to the Quaker Doctors office 2l5
liberty street, west would soon prove to
any intelligent person that he is prepared
and fully equipped to give patients treat
ment that can not be had at any other in
stitution in the city and as a matter of
fact at but few in the United States. Here
can be seen thousands of dollars worth
of surgical and medical appliances and
fully equipped electro-therapuetical insd
tuition for the treating of diseases static
electricity which has to a great extent
taken the place of medicine and resulted
in the most wonderful benefits when med
icines were worse than useless.
Many diseases can be readily and easily
cured were the physicians positive Of the
exact nature of the disease and the con-
dition of the organ that is affected. The
liver for instance, may be the exact loca-
ton of the trouble and the attending ply
stefan may easily diagnose that fact, but
what condition the liver is in will make
a great deal of difference, and what will
be a corrective in one diseased condition
would prove disastrous in another Here
the Quaker Doctor has a great advantage
At an outlay of hundreds of dollars he
has provided his office with one of the
most perfect X ray machines ever seen
in America, and by means of which nearly
every organ of human anatomy can be
plainly seen and it's exact condition noted
as plainly as were he examining a cut
hand and therefore it can easily be seen
that his diagnosis is correct.
A WONDERFUL CASE!
The valuable assistance of the X ray
was never better demonstrated than in
the case of Mr.. WIN. Chambers, which
was published in the Morning News at
the time Mr. Chambers, 1t will be remem-
bered had suffered for over a year with
what physicians said was acute rheuma-
tism.
The part affected was the right knee
cap and no pain whatever was ever felt
except in that one spot The pain was ex-
circulating at times and Mr.. Chambers on
several occasions when attacked fell in
sensible in, the street and at others was
thrown almost into convulsions by the
pain. Medicines were used and physicians
employed, but not the slightest relief was
obtained and it seemed that every attack
seemed more severe Prominent phys-
clans and surgeons of New York and 9TH
er large cities were called upon, and
among them We're some of the best the
profession can boast of, but they all chung
to the rheumatism diagnosis simply be-
cause they were not in a position to find
out the true cause of all the trouble.
Finally Mr.. Chambers while passing
through Savannah called upon the Quak-
er Doctor, who but for the wonderful
ray machine, would have been as unable
to determine the cause of the pain as
were tine numerous other physicians who
had made the attempt. The Quaker Doc
tor, however, applied the X ray and i'm
medately informed Mr.. Chambers that
there existed no symptoms of rheumatism
but that the pain was caused entirely
from what was known by the few physi-
clans who had met with such rare cases
as a floating bone. As the Office as usual,
was well filled with patients, the Quaker
Doctor gave them an opportunity of ex-
aiming the case under the X ray. Just
under the knee cap could be plainly seen
a small piece of bone that appeared to be
about an inch long. With every move
ment of the foot or any of the muscles of
the leg this piece of bone would dart from
its position and float around among the
sinews and muscles, At one time when the
foot was moved this little bone entirely
disappeared from under the cap and made
it's way in between the joints of the larg-
err bone causing Mr.. Chambers to yell
with pain and which the Doctor explain
ed, was what~had caused the sudden at
tacks of excruciating agony that Mr.
Chambers had felt so many times during
the past two years. The Quaker Doctor
having discovered what the most eminent
surgeons had failed to locate the next
move was to extract the bone. This was
quickly accomplished in the presence of
