Non-SurgicaI System of Medicine Has
Accomplished Unprecedented
Results.

have been taught that surgery was the
cure for the majority of ailments.
Cases of every description are daily
being shown such unlocked for results

viz, the Anopathic, Homeopathic and
Eclectic, which the United Doctors have
made into their remarkable United"
system of treatment that it is indeed
well the general public debate serious
ly before submitting to the surgeons
knife, and first find out what this new
system OF medicine will do for them.
Cases of gall stones, goitre, rectal
troubles, rupture and other supposedly
surgical cases are proving but ordi-
nary ailments when treated by the
United Doctors. Other diseases such
as diseases of the blood, heart. kid
neys, liver, and bladder no longer hold
fear for the ailing.
The United Doctors maintain their
own laboratory at their institute here
in which they compound their medi-
cines for each patient. This insures
all the best and purest of medicines at
minimum cost and assures each pa
tient fresh drugs at all times.
Sufferers from stomach trouble,
asthma, constipation, dropsy, indi-
gestion, loss of nerve force, catarrh,
DEAFNESS dyspepsia or other ailments
cannot do better than to consult the
United Doctors at an early date. Con
sultation and examination for the next
seventeen days is free to all.

TELEPHONE TOLLS NEXT.
Revision of Charges by Interstate
Commerce Commission Forecnsted.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE telegraph
and telephone companies will be the
next public utility corporations to feel
the hand of the interstate commerce
commission. 1t is probable they will
be ordered materially to reduce their
rates. The members of the commission
have been giving some time to the dis
cussion OF rates charged by these COM
panies, especially by the American Tel
egraph and Telephone company.
1t has been brought to the attention
of the commission that this company
has been able to increase it's earnings
substantially by abolishing branch tel
egraph offices at various points and
compelling it's patrons to telephone
their messages to a central telegraph
office.
This, of course, causes no hardship
to the telephone subscribers, but the
non subscriber is compelled to pay for
the use of the telephone in addition to
the cost of the telegraph. so that the
profits of the company are increased,
first by the reduced cost of maintain e.
ing branch offices. and. second, by the
increased telephone tolls.
