RICHMOND WILL GET

SENT TO LOCATE INSTITUTE
IN RICHMOND.
MERCHANTS PLEASED
Will Locate in Prominent Building
in Business District Until
Summer.

Doctors Riley, Hoover and Scott, the
three directors of the United Doctors,
who have been in the city several
days looking the field over for site
for their new Indiana institute, have
at last decided that Richmond is the
most promising city in Indiana and ae-
cordingly will be located here.
Richmond is certainly about as we'll
equipped with doctors, hospitals and
medical institutions of various kinds as
any city of it's size in the west. True,
the large eastern cities enjoy some
advantages not offered here, yet our
medical talent is not far behind them
and enjoy an enviable reputation
throughout the west.
But Richmond is always looking to
advancement, always holds out wei
coming hand to any person or institu-
tion who will locate here and further
the interests of her people; and it is
most royal welcome which awaits the
United Doctors, who announce that
they are preparing to open a medical
institute in Richmond within a few
days.
The United Doctors, as the name i'm
plies, is an association of expert medi-
cal specialists who have united to Or
ganize a new school of medicines, a
new and more scientific and positive
system Of curing human ailments. For
centuries the world has been fun OF
different cults and isms in medicine;
we had the old root and herb doctor
with his bitter potions, the alilopath
with pills and quinine in heroic doses,
the moemopath with his triburations
and infinitesimal doses, the electric,
the osteopath, the Christian Scientist;
we were doctored by heat, by electric
ity, by baths at Hot Springs and by a
multitude of men and methods. Some
of the patients were cured, some died
who should have been cured. 1t was
impossible for the ordinary person to
say which method of treating disease
was the best and the physicians of the
various schools were so biased that
that could see good only in their own
bad Evidently there is good in all OF
them, for they all cured some cases:
also there is bad in all, for they all
fail at times and allow misery to re-
main or death to come where a cure
should be effected.
4 tremendous stride forward was
made when the association of United
Doctors was formed. The founders of
this association consisted of eminent
medical specialists from the various
schools of practice Eclectics, homeo-
paths, allopaths, regulars and irregu-
lars met and agreed to drop their
prejudices and form new system of
treatment that would embrace all the
good points of the old methods and
leave out the bad. The result of the
efforts of these world-famous special
lists of the various schools was the
wonderful system Of treatment now
used by the United Doctors. All this
was not accomplished in a day or
week. but has taken years of patient
work by these specialists in their great
institutions in the east: homeopatfs,
eclectics. allopaths. working side by
side, each throwing away his old ideas
when he was convinced there was
something better, until at last out of
! the old choas and confusion came the
new and perfect system as it is now
used by the United Doctors.
The cost of these specialists was
great, not only in the labor OF forminS
the new system of treatment, but also
in the effort it cost them to ignore
their pride in the various schools
which they were originally educated
in. But their reward has been great.
for they have seen health and happi-
ness restored to hundreds of thousands
pronounced incurable by old methods.
AS stated above. the United Doctors
will open an institute in Richmond in
a few days. which viii be the first OF
the kind in Richmond Details as to
| location and date of opening will be
seen in these columns soon. 19-lt
