seven years ago the State OF Illinois granted
to the Physicians Institute Of Chicago charter.
There was need OF something above the ordi-
nary method Of treatment for chronic diseases,
something moro than any one specialist or any
number of specialists acting independently
could do, SO the State itself. under the powers
granted it by its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as woUld make them well and strong.
Ever since its establishment this Institute has
endeavored in every possible way to carry out
the original purposes OF its establishment under
the beneicient laws of tho State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity In the treatment
of certain phases Of disease, created under the
superintendent of its staff of specialists an
electric belt. and this belt has been proved to be
OF great value as a curative agent. from time
to time 1t has been improved until 1t reached
that stage of perfection which warranted Its
present name OF 'Supreme.
This belt Is the most defective of all agents IN tho
cure of rheumatism. lumbago, lame back. nerv-
Gus exhaustion, weakened or lost vital functions,
varcocele. kidney disorders and many other
complaints.
This Supreme Electric Belt'' is made in one
grade only-I00 guage-there is no better electric
belt made and no better belt can be made. You
have only to write to the Physicians Institute
and one Of these belts will be sent you absolutely
free. It is not sent trial, 1t is yours to keep
forever without the payment of one cent. This
generous offer may be Withdrawn at any time, so
you should write to-day for this free Supreme
Electric Belt'' to The Physicians Institute,
2oS6 Masonic Temple, Chicago, Ills.
