BED RIDDEN MAN
WALKS UP TOWN
HEART AND KIDNEY DISEASE
CAUSE OF SERIOUS ILLNESS.
Mr.. Jim semones Can Tell You His
Condition Better Than 1t
Could be Written.

One Of the most grateful men in
this city today is jim Semones, who
had been confined to his chair for sew
eral months unable to walk or lie
down, and given up to die. Just put
yourself in that condition for few
moments thought. Then to be able
in the short space of less than three
weeks to walk all the way up town
to his doctors Office CDR. S. NJ. Wells)
and feel no i'll effects and said the
walk made him feel good. Do you
naturally think man would feel
grateful? Well, some would not, but
come back and say would have got
ten well without any treatment, but
this man was gradually getting worse
every minute and was all ready to
burst, and from the first doses OF
medicine he began to get we'll. This
is why people are coming from all the
surrounding towns because they are
getting results when they follow his
advice. Husbands are bringing in
their wives and children to be treated
and those who have been cured are
bringing in their neighbors and writ
| ing their friends to come to be cured
He leaves no stone unturned in your
case, but handles it in a way to give
permanent and everlasting results
when once cured to stay cured. He
never uses any narcotics or opiates
to cure his patients, but drives out
the cause of the trouble. Although
he is particular in his cases nc
handles, he has, we must say, great
many others on the rapid road to re
covery, and some of the worst cases Il
the country at that.

MRS. JAMES
BOOHER PRAISES
MEDICAL EXPERT
Feels Better Than She Has in Five
Years, All In Short Time.

A great many people who live In
Warsaw, H., and that vicinity know
this lady and may know how she was
before she started treating with DR..
S. M. Wells of Keokuk, and also know
the results she obtained. Mrs. Booher
lives near Warsaw on Route 2, and
anyone who will write her know
she will verify her improved condi-
ton, for she feels very grateful for
the benefit she has received, and
claims 1t the best treatment she ever
had and did her the most good. So
many have asked the doctor how
long he intends to stay In Keokuk,
and seem to be under the impression
that he intends to leave. He does not
intend to leave at all, but has made
his home here. and intends to reside
here from this time on and make this
his permanent residence for himself
and family and all gossip to the con-
trary is self-made yarns and told by
irresponsible parties. His practice IS
all he can handle and getting larger
every day and the people In keokuk
do not want him to leave, fo- they are
just beginning to realize his true
value as a chronic disease specialist.
He has taken some of the worst cases
in this vicinity and brought them out
with flying colors, and the best citi-
zens in the city are his firm support
ers, as they have seen 80 much OF his
work and wonderful cures performed.
