Agricultural Department, and eX-Di-
rector of the Minnesota State Agricul-

why the people of that country are so
anxious to move South. Among other

Seven years ago the State OF Illinois granted
to the Physicians Institute OF Chicago a charter
There was need of something above the ordi
nary method OF treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any one specialist or any
number of specialists acting independently
could do, so the State itself, under the powers
granted 1t 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 beneflcient laws Of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value OF electricity In the treatment
OF certain phases Of disease, created under the
superintendence of its staff of specialists an
electric belt and this belt has been proved to be
of great value as curative agent. From time
to time 1t has been improved until 1t reached
that stage Of perfection which warranted Its
present name of "Surreme.n
This BELTS the most effective OF allagents In the
cure of rheumatism, lumbago. lame back, nerv-
Gus exhaustion, weakened or lost vital functions,
yaricocelo, kidney disorders and many other
complaints.

belt made and no better belt can be made.
Whenever in the opinion OF our staff of special

forces OF electricity will cure you We send you,
free of all cost, one Of these Supreme Electric
Belts. 1t Is not sent on trial. 1t is yours TO keep
