BABY WITH
ITS HANDS TIED
To Keep 1t from Scratching It.
self - Had Eczema that
Doctors Couldn't Cure
SUFFERED ALL IT'S LIFE.
At Last Parents Took the Little Suf-
ferer 60 United Doctors and
Now It's Well.

Little Majorie Olsen, the three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Olsen.
who live on a farm near Argenta, Ill, has
at last been relieved from the terrible suf-
fering which the poor little mite has en-
dured all her life.
This little girl had been afflicted with
eczema almost from birth. Her parents
took her to many different doctors, but
zone of them understood the disease and
allowed her to grow worse and worse.
AT last Mr.. Olsen heard OF the marvellous
cures being made by the United Doctors,
who have their Omaha Institute on the
second floor of the Neville Block, corner
sixteenth and Harvey streets, and decided
to take the little Majorie TO them.
When the United Doctors commenced
treating the little girl she was In a fright
full condition, but these specialists did not
depend upon ointments and washes as
other doctors had. Instead they went 10
the root of the trouble-they treated the
blood. as it is only by cleaning the poison
out of the blood that any case of eczema
can ever be really cured.
Mr., and Mrs. Olsen are overjoyed at the
recovery of their daughter and make the
following statement for publication:
Arsenta. Ill, July /, 1908.
Dear Doctors:-
Our little daughter, Majorie, has had &C.
zema since she was one month old, being
three years old last January. As soon as
her face began to break out we took her
to the doctor and have doctored her ever
since. but none Of them seemed to be able
to stop the breaking out. They would
help a little for a while and then 1t would
get worse than ever.
When she was small we had to fasteu
her hands to keep her from scratching her
face, and she suffered very severely. 1t
was all over her face, body and hands.
About five months ago we came 10 the
United Doctors for examination md, AL
though we had about given up hope Of
her ever being cured, after they told US
they could cure her we began the treat
ment. They nave helped her wonderfully.
In five months II has all left her body
land hands and her face Is nearly all
healed and we feel that she will soon be
entirely cured. Yours very truly.
MR.. AND MRS. w. T.. OLSEN.
There are hundreds Of other Nebraska
people who have had the same Joyful ex-
p~erience.
The wonderful new and more scientific
treatment used by the United Doctors in
curing those who had been given up as
hopeless cases by all ordinary doctors Is
why their institute. on the second floor OF
the Neville Block, corner Sixteenth and
Harvey streets, is always crowded with

OF the three men at Dean
Beecher of Trinity cathedral, Omaha, read
the memorial service and Buffalo Bill made
a laudatory speech OF the man who was his
great friend and partner and at the same
time one Of the best known men in Indian
affairs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Carlow Cthe latter is
a laughter of Colonel Cody, Captain Lutte
North, Captain Gus G.. Beecher and Lieu
tenant George Lehman, surviving members
OF Major North's band OF scouts, went to
the little cemetery. The procession was led
by Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill. A daugh-
ter OF Major North rode in the same car
riage with Buffalo Bill.
Although there was a certain solemnity
about the procession, II was full OF pomp
and action. Those In the procession had
not come to see a man buried, but simply
to honor his memory many years after
ward. The principal members OF the pro-
cession were those of the show-Buffalo
Bilfs Wild West and PaWnee Bits Far
East, which started the occidental side Of
the show twenty-six years ago in Co
lumbus. Taps was played at the grave
Of Major North and over the heads OF the
crowd sixteen zouaves fired round after

When Dean Beecher had read part of the
lSOth and 18th Psalms the crowd Joined
in prayer. Then Colonel Cody was called
and he strewed flowers on the graves of
the three men who long ago were his faith
full friends,
director Of the shows, had charge OF the
arrangements, and just as Colonel Cody
placed the flowers on Major North's grave
he unfurled a union jack and spread II over
: the spot where the old fighter was buried.
Major Lille was a great friend and ad-
mirer Of Major North. He served under
North as an Indian interpreter. Colonel
Cody said that North was his lifetime com
rade in arms and a longtime partner in
peace. He said that no tribute told. no
matter how eloquently put, could do JUS
tlce to the good qualities possessed by Ma
jor North.
MY friends" said Buffalo Bill, you car
imagine the emotions that FIJI my heart in
thinking back. Major North was one OF
the l~oveliest characters God ever created,
one OF the bravest men products Of frontier
days, one OF whom It may be said we may
not look upon his like again. Peace 10

1 went to work to find it, and after

A big board had fallen down on it's

it's leg out. AS soon as l saw it ] picked
up the board and it crawled out
1t could not walk very fast, for it's
leg was hurt, but not badly, so l picked
it up and carried it to papa.- He said,

Dog Rescues Kitten

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day as l was coming home from
school | saw a dear little gray ana
white kitten coming across the street.
1t had just stopped raining. so the
gutter was quite full of water. The
little kitten wanted to get on the pave
ment, but she was too little to jump,
and the water was too deep for her to
wade across. Just then there big st.
Bernard dog. he growled at the kit
ten. But just then little yellow curly
dog came in sight and began to hght
with it, The st. Bernard dog had
very kind feeling in his heart, so ne
caught hold of the little dog and shook
him till he yelled loudly. Then he got
a good hold of the kitten and carried
it across the gutter. He went ou his
way home and was about ten blocks
from home when he saw the little kit
ten following him. So he got hold of
her and put her on his back. Then
he carried her till he came to the front
door, where he lived. Just then very
kind looking lady came out, I guess
it was to see if her st. Bernard dog
was coming home, because he had
been gone all day. She saw the kitten
on the dogs back, took it in and made
a very nice, warm bed for it in her
room. Here the little kitten stayed.

Boatmen Save Fisherman

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Once when 1 was down at Long
Beach there was a man fishing for
large fish. He threw his line away out
into the water and soon big fish took
hold of his line and he began to pull.
The pier was wet and he slipped in.
There were only some little boys there,
and they We're not big enough to pull.
The line was tied to one of the planks
and the fish could not get away.
The man was out in the water trying
to swim. The waves were taking him
farther and farther out. One of the
little boys ran and told the life-savers
that a large fish had pulled a man in
and that the waves were taking him
farther and farther out. One of the
life-savers took the boat and the other
went out on the wharf and looked away
out on the water. He saw him and
dived down into the water and swan
to the boat. They rowed out to where
he was and grabbed him just as he was
going down the third time. They took
him to shore and revived him.
