Free Consultation to all.
Free Consultation to all.

The Associated Doctors are helping
people who have gone astray from the
way of health, it matters not what the
trouble is.
They have made special study of
chronic troubles. There are several
lines of work to emphasize for they do
so much of this work as troubles of
eye, ear, nose and throat, like
catarrh. enlarged, tonsils, adnoids
deafness, also stomach and intestinal
troubles and liver, kidney and
bladder complaints, causing rheuma-
tism, skin diseases, etc. Then too
lung and heart cases, as asthma, con-
sumption, weakness, dizziness, swell
ling of feet, shortness of breath,
coughs, etc. They have hundreds of
cases people call "private troubles. /"
Treating fat folks to reduce weight,
they could give list of many who
we're relieved of 20 to 100 pounds of
excess baggage.
Then very special to many sufferers
they treat piles, goitre, chronic ap-
pendicitis, gall stones, etc., without
the knife.
Mental and nervous diseases and
bed wetting should not be forgotten.
In spite of many spectacle peddlers
they are fitting good many eyes for
glasses.
They use their own drugs, chemicals
and compounds and everything of
known value. If you need help for
any trouble come and see Them At
least have a talk with the doctor re-
garding your trouble for (which there
will be NO CHARGE.
Mr.. James Ripp, Fergus Falls,
says: "You have done more than I
expected, my dizziness, shortness of
breath, weakness, bloating have left
me, and I pitched in the field which I
would never have believed I could
again do"
Mrs. A. E. Parks, GAINESVILLE,
MIMI, says: II had almost lost
hope of ever receiving help for my
rheumatism, having spent much time
and money for doctors, mud baths
and electricity, etc., but your treat
ment has entirely cured me and
certainly will recommend you to
everyone for your good work."
Account of lack of space, would pub
lish many more. Remember date and
be sure and consult the doctors about
your troubles.
