PROVES HIMSELF
THE C0NQUERER

The Astonishing Cures Made Upon
Prominent Citizens by Or. Wells
Has Created Great
Deal Of Talk.

1t is plain to be seen that man
who adopts and nts himself for Ger
tain work and backs It up by expert
ence is the man who will always in
the end give the results. While In a
few cases great number OF physi-
clans would cure great deal more
OF their patients II they would perhaps
give their doctor a better chance.
While this is true to a certain extent
yet 1t is known fact that too many
physicians are too ever ready to use
The knife without first giving the pa
tent every available chance to get
well.
DR.. Wells has some very remark
able cases under treatment, some who
have come for a distance of 100 miles
or more. His success In handling
paralysis, hip joint disease, tumors
and cancers has brought him into
prominence and keeps his Office
crowded most Of the time with some
one anxious to see this medical ex-
pert. His system OF treating catarrh
IL SO entirely different from the old
way that there Is no comparison in
the results. All cases are treated In
confidence unless permission Is given
to use their name after cure has
been effected-Adv.
