QuaCk Doctors are Excluded

Illegal Medical Offices" Cannot Use

Washington, March Z5-Orders have
been issued by the postmaster general
lnStructing the pOStmaSters at New

Gated in those cities, and also to re-

enforce the law against this class of
out at the postofice department today
says:
APPALLING CONDITIONS.
THE condition of affairs which has
developed under the departments in
designations in all parts of these cities
has been appalling. 1t was found that
in q large number of instances those
engaged in conducting these offices
have criminal records and are dope
tiends. In Boston one of the con-
Germs excluded by the department
from the mails was supposed to have
been the office at which was performed
the fatal operation upon the young
woman, Susan Geary-the suit case
murder. One of the doctors whom
the department found identified with
several of those offices in Boston was
also connected with the Susan Geary
case. The number of deaths that
have been caused in these offices can
never be known.
The volume Of business done by
these concerns was large. 1t was said
that as high as twenty criminal Oper-
ations a day were performed in some
Of these offices. and tFat the income
sometimes ranged as high as 5000

We Cure II.

So-Called weakness in men is
merely symptom Of chronic in
Illumination in the prostate
gland, brought on by early dis
sipatio1 or by the improper
treatment Of some contracted
disease A complete and radical
cure is therefore a question of
restoring the prostate gland to
the normal state, and this we
accomplish promptly and com
pletely without the use Of in
ternal remedies. Our treatment
is a local one entirely. 1t is
original and scientific and has
been proven absolutely effec-
tive by thousands Of tests. We
are convinced that by no other
methods can full and perma-
nent restoration Of strength and
vigor be accomplished.
