Remarkable Success Of these Talented
Physicians In the Treatment Of
chroaic Diseases.
OFFER THEIR SERVICES FREE OF CHARGE

The Northwestern United Doc
tors, licensed by the state for the
treatment Of ~deformities and ali
nervous and chronic diseases Of
men, women and children, offer
to all who call on this trip, con.
sultation, examination and advice
free, making no charge whatever
except for the actual cost Of med.
icine. All that is asked in return
for these valuable services is that
every person treated will state the
result obtained to their friends
and thus prove to the sick and af:
t1icted in this locality, that at last
treatments have been discovered
that are absolutely sure and GER
tain in their effect.
Many Wonderful Cures
So great and wonderful have
been their cures that in many
cases it is hard indeed to find the
dividing line between skill and
miracle.
Diseases of the stomach, in.
testines, liver, blood, skin, nerves,
heart, spleen, kidneys, or bladder,
rheumatism, sciatica, diabetes,
bed-wetting, leg, uncers, weak
lungs and those afflicted with
long-standing, deep-seated, chron-
ic diseases, that have baffled the
skill Of the family physician,
should not fail to call.
Nothing in Their Treatment
That Sounds Like q Knife.
By their developed system, no
more operations for appendicitis,
gall stones, tumors, goiter, piles or
cancer. They were among the
first in America to earn the name
of the "Bloodless Surgeons by
doing away with the knife, blood
and pain in the successful treat
ment, and cure of these dangerous
diseases.
Their new treatment for cancer,
tumor, tubercular glands, eating
ulcers and other malignant
growths is wonderful in it's effect.
A germ destroying fluid is inject
ed hypodermically into the very
heart Of the growth until it reach
es every root, fibre, cell and sub
stance. One treatment in many
cases is sufficient to cure.
No matter what your ailment
may be, no. matter what others
may have told you, no matter
what experience you may have
had with other physicians, it will
be to your advantage to see them.
Have it forever settled in your
mind. If your case is incurable
they will give you such advice as
may relieve you and stay the dis
ease. Do not put off this duty
you owe yourself, your friends,
and your relatives, as a visit this
time costs you nothing and may
may save your life.
Remember this free offer is for
this trip only.

GOVERNOR WILSON, of New

from his official duties during the
month. This is the second time
the New Jersey governor has
got the AK applied to his sal

May salary being cut from $3.50
to 1880, caused by his absence
