RODE $50 MILES
FOR A DOCTOR
Distance Didn't Stop This Man
When He Needed a Doctor.

| Twenty years ago we didn't think it
anything unusual to go a long distance
| for medical attention, but today when
every crossroad has doctor and every
hamlet supports from one to a dozen,
| it seems a little strange to hear of a
man crossing two states to consult a
doctor. But this is what Mr.. j. A.
Reed of Okeene, Ok, Travelled that dis
lance for, to consult the United Doctors
Mr.. Reed was seen at the Rock Island
depot the other morning as he was
about to depart for his home in Okla
homa and when asked If it were true
that he had made this trip to consult
the United Doctors, he said: yes, I
came all the way from Oklahoma to
consult these specialists. not but what
we have good doctors in Oklahoma, but
had spent several hundred dollars doc
toring and somehow I failed to get re-
lief. 1 had suffered from sciatic rheum-
atism for nearly three years, and the
pain was at times so severe that was
unable to rest in any position l could
get into and after sitting in one posi-
ton for a time 1 would get SO stiff
that I could hardly walk at all. I came
to Topeka just one week ago today and
have not suffered any pain at all
since the first treatment they gave me,
and 1 am going home absolutely cured
and I think it has been well worth the
trip and think there will be some other
people make the same trip when I get
home and they see what the United
Doctors have done for me-"
The United Doctors are located at go
Kansas avenue, and they have certainly
created a sensation in Topeka in the
short time they have been here. They
have been the means of starting a great
many people on the road to recovery
that had despaired of ever being well
again. They are making the offer of
free treatment until we'll for all cases
applying within thirty days, with the
exception of the cost of medicines used.
This is certainly an exceptional offer,
but as DR.. Hall, the physician in charge,
says every case started now will be the
means of sending in a dozen later. they
can afford to do business on a narrow
margin for a time. They treat all
chronic and special diseases of both
MEN and women. including rheumatism,
piles, asthma, goitre, diseases of wo-
men, gall stones, epilepsy, private dis
eases of men and all disorders of the
blood, nerves and skin. They make no
charge for examination or consultation.

HOPKINS A BENEDICT.
Candidate for Lieutenant Governor
Married Eminence Girl.

The marriage of Miss May Cathcart of
Eminence, Kansas, to Richard Joseph
C'DIck'O Hopkins has been announced
and took place Thursday evening, Septem-
Der 16. The ''At Home" cards announce
the young couple being situated in
readiness for visitors October 20 in Gar
den City, Kansas.
Dick Hopkins elected representative
to the last legislature from Finney coun-
ty, was speaker pro tenn of the house at
the last session. His proposed marriage
was not known at that time but several
newspaper correspondents spoke to him
in glowing terms as being one of the un-
married men of the house who had bright
prospects" and who probably received
more admiration than any other ten MEM
bers combined.
Dick" is one of those broad minded
legislators who is good to talk, eat and
drink with and who was in one continual
round of popularity with his fellow states
men. He conducted the house in fine
shape when called upon last winter and
made several of the political sensations
of the session.
1t is needless to say that there will be
a good many statesmen over Kansas who
will take advantage of Dicks" at home
announcement.
