FROM ILLINOIS
MINISTERS WIFE
WRITES LETTER TELLING HEN
EXPERIENCE WITH KNOWN
DOCTORS.

Mrs. L. A. Rhodes, wife OF the
Christian minister of Carlinville, ILL.,,
is probably as we'll known over that
part OF Illinois as any woman. She
has spent a long and useful life IN
helping humanity and especially IN oe-
ing a second mother to orphan chill
dren Her good work Is shown lar
and near but when she herself neeoeo
help, needed a physician who couio
cure, no one was able to help her. In
vain she tried one doctor after another
and was fast growing worse when AT
last she heard of the Known Doctors,
those expert medical specialists VINO
have their Ottumwa institute on the
second floor of the Electric building,
2O9-211 East Second street, second
building east from the street car walt
ing room, hoping against hope she
went to these specialists for treat
ment. She began to improve at once
and now after three months treat
ment she is we'll and writes:
II have suffered with gall stones
and enlargement Of the liver for four
years. have suffered untold agony with
gall stones, collie at times and all the
doctors could do was to give me
opiates. My stomach and abdomen
were hard and swollen, and so sore
could not bear any pressure. MY COM
plexion was yellow, my bowels very
loose, my digestion poor and | was
run down in flesh ALSO Three differ
ent doctors told me I could not posi-
bly, live unless l underwent an opera
ton and another doctor said | had
cancer of the liver.
when I came to consult the known
Doctors in August they told me ! had
an enlargement of the liver, gall stones
and kidney trouble. l began their
treatment and in less tim one week
began feeling better and looking bet
ter and now after six weeks treat
ment, / am so improved that my
friends speak about it. The swelling
and hardness have gone out OF my
liver and abdomen; my bowels are
regular. l have gained in flesh, and
my color is almost natural. | thank
my father in heaven and the Known
Doctors that my. health, has been re-
stored without using the knife"
They are offering examination, con-
sultation and treatment free, and also
medicines for 80 days, to all who call
and bring the attached coupon. No
free treatment without this coupon.
This coupon, if presented at the in
stitute of the Known Doctors on or
before Feb. II, will entitle the holder
to examination, consultation and treat
ment, also medicine for 30 days. We
want to show the sick people what we
can do for them.

"Of course am very proud and
happy over the whole matter" said
Miss Worning to a reporter yesterday
afternoon at the office of the Gregg
Publishing Co., 1923 Broadway, where
she is employed, "but felt very con-
fident of the result when ! went to
Albany to try the examination. You
see l already had a certificate from
the National Shorthand Reporters as
sociation that could write 206 words
minute and knew that was as fast
as would be called upon to co.
Miss Werning is the daughter Of the
Rev. F. Werning, pastor of Zion Ger
