Every little blade of grass growing, every

Wheeling Woman's Intense Headaches
Would Cause Her to Go Blind
During Their Periods.
CURED BY UNITED DOCTORS.
Complication of Ailments That Caused
Serious Results Vanish In
One Month.

A statement was made recently by
local physician that the United Doc
tors must Hypnotise their patients to
obtain testimonials as hey had re-
ceived testimonials from people he
knew were absolutely incurable. This
amusing information was given to the
United Doctors by friend who had
heard the remark. -
Regarding the above statement, it
would likely seem impossible to the
average physician for the United Doc
tors to obtain testimonials from sick
people who are incurable under any
single system of medicine that the
average doctor practices.-but the Uni
ted Doctors do not practice any one
particular system of medicine, for
they have their own UNITED" system
or rather have United the three recog
nized systems of medicine, viz: The
Allopathic, Homeopathic and Eclectic
system into one United system of
medicine, whereas the average doctor
practices but one of the three systems
and can therefore give the patient the
patient the benefit of but one-third of
the medical knowledge known to cure
him.
To illustrate this better we will take
for example any case. A patient may
actually be incurable under the Allo-
pathic's method of treatment but may
be readily cured under the Eclectic or
Homeopathic methods. Very often
the only cure an Allopath might know
for a certain ailment is an operation:
Yet this same patient might be- cured
by simple remedy of one of the
other schools of medicine. Combining
the three methods gives a United
Doctor" naturally!a tremendous ad-
vantage over any single system. With
this the United Doctors have scores OF
their own private formulaes with
proven value through years of use
and in thousands of cases in their diff
ferent Institutes. Newly Cleaned

POLLUTION OF INTERSTATE
WATERS A CAUSE OF TYPHOID

Interstate waters ar the source Of
water supply for many millions of
American people, and the number is
constantly growing. Sanitary condi-
tons in the drainage area of the
Great Lakes, the Missouri, the Mississ-
ippi, the Ohio and other great Ameri-
can rivers are becoming most import
ant because of the increased demands
made on these waters as source of
public water-supp1y. With the in
crease in population, there is an in
crease in the sewage pollution of
these waters, as it has been common
American custom for cities to~emp y
their sewage into lakes or rivers, on
account of thel ow cost of this IN sthod
of disposal. Until recently, nearly all
American, cities situated on great
waterways furnished water to their
own citizens without filtration and
other treatment, and at the same time
discharged unpurified sewage into the
same water to pollute the water supply
of other cities situated below them.
Under these conditions, says DR.. Al
lien J. Mclaughlin Of the United
States Public Health Service, in re
cent issue, of The. Journal Of the
] American Medical Association, it Is
not strange that avery high typhoid
fever rate prevails in these cities. DR.
/ Mclaughlin shows that the death-rate
from Uphold fever per 100,000eof popu
IIation is very high in the cities located
/ on the Great Lakes and the large
/ rivers. For instance, in 1910 Omaht
