She said that as she was friend Of
DR. Alice Patterson. the lady physician
there at the time. she had watched sew
eral hundred cases and their ability to
relieve and cure all manner of female
diseases was to her the most astonish-
ing and gratifying of any experience OF
her life. She pointed out to me among
the great stream that IS constant
ly going and coming there any
number of ladies, and told me of
their various troubles and informed me
of some of them that were brought on
stretchers and now were the picture of
health. She also pointed out many who
had suffered from appendicitis, and that
in every instance they had been cured
and that there had never been a surgi-
cal operation fer any female troubles
nor for appendicitis since she had been
there; but that all these various suffer
ers had been cured BY getting the blood
to circulate IN the different parts by
freeing the nerves at the spine so it
would hold up the different organs so
they could drain themselves and be sup
piled with plenty of circulating blood.

him for help.

claimed their ribs had been held in NAL

This seemed reasonable; at least they
