THE zEO|KER
INSTITUTE OF
ORUGLESS HEALING


has recently been put in place by
Doctors Zediker, Van Snyders and
Davenport, in their spacious and we'll
appointed rooms over Otter Bros
store, took the liberty to call upon
this firm of druAfess healers, and
was shown through their apartments
and had more things told to him than
he is likely to remember sufficiently
well to make a record that will do
justice to the institution. The old
readers of the Herald well remem-
Der that Prof. J. F. Zediker and his
son, w. E. Zediker, opened offices in
the Otter block nearly six years ago.
A year later w. e. Zediker moved
dena, Cal, while j. F. Zediker con-
tinued the business at the old stand,
aided by his wife and daughters,
Lois and Adela, with great success
for four years. A year ago this
month the daughter Lois became Mrs.
A. A. Bowman and month later
Mrs. Zediker was called to her final
home.
For some months Prof Zediker
and his daughter Adella continued
the business. Then Doctor Almira
NJ. Davenport became co-worker
with him; and still later Dr.. F. NJ.
Van Snyders, an experienced sanitar-
ium man from Fargo, n. D., became
a partner. DR.. Van Snyders is an
expert with all manner of electrical
apparatus, and is a specialist along
sundry lines of drugless healing, in
Guiding chiropractic adjustments, etc.
DR.. Almira NJ. Davenport spent four
full years in medical college in Chi
cago and eight years on a medical
staff in that great city, mingling with
bright medical minds of national rep
utation. She has had much expert
ence with women, hence she is
most valuable specialist in women's
diseases. Doctor Zediker is the ad
mitted leader in osteopathic and mag
netic work, including mental science,
suggestion, etc. The combination Is
a strong one, and surely this TRIO"
of SPECIALISTS are a strong team
in the treating of human ailments,
and the people of North Yakima and
surrounding country should appre-
ciate the fact that it is no longer ne
cessary to go to Tacoma, Seattle,
Portland or San Francisco at heavy
expense in order to obtain the very
best treatments possible to be had
along the lines Of drugless healing.
Prof. Zediker has been so long and
favorably known among our people
as an honorable, lafr dealing man
and successful practitioner that he
needs no recommend to our readers;
and that he has selected and retains
as his co-partners Drs. Van Snyders
and Davenport is the best and strong
est endorsement they could have.
Nothing but honest work will be toll
