REAL CURES BEING MADE.
Permanent Cures, Not Temporary
Relief Result from United Doctors
New Treatment.

permanent Cures, NOT temporary
Relief Result from United Doctors
New Treatment.
One of the great differences In the
treatment used by the United Doctors.
the second floor of the Neville block,
corner Sixteenth and Harvey streets.
and the treatment used by ordinary
doctors, is that the United Doctors
treat and remove the underlying
cause of the disease. while the ordi-
nary doctor often only treats the
symptoms. The result of the United
Doctors treatment is a permanent
cure. The cause of the trouble Is re-
moved and the patient stays we'll.
A case which illustrates this point
nicely is that of Mrs. Il. Lee Of 1406
Douglas street. Omaha. Neb., who was
cured last year and now. after the
lapse Of all that time to test the per-
manency of the cure. she is still
