MICHIGAN WOMAN
HAD 2O-|NCH NECK
United Doctors Reduced Her
Neck Over Three Inches in
Five Weeks.

Mrs Wiltberger, wife of a promi-
nent contractor of Northern Michigan,
makes a statement in regard to the
United Doctors, those expert medical
specialists who have their South Bend
Institute located on the second floor
of the Toepp Building on So. Main ST,
opposite the Post Office. that is we'll
worth the attention of any sick per-
son. Any one who is doubt about the
following statement can write Mrs.
Wiltberger, or any bank in White
more, Mich, to ask about her stand
ing in that community. Here is her
statement:
Il have had a Goitre, or Big Neck.
for the last ten years, and ii had
grown to measure 20 inches around
my neck. The pressure was so great
that l could hardly breathe, and my
eye sight was so effected that some
days it was difficult for me to see. l
was very nervous and could not sleep.
The growth in my throat pressed up
ward so much that 1 could not wear
the lower plate of my teeth. My
appetite was very poor, and I seemed
to be losing my mind. Sometimes L
could scarcely remember my own
name. l tried a number Of doctors
and advertised remedies without any
benefit. In fact 1 went so far as to
so to have an operation performed on
me that 1 might not live through the
operation 1 backed out and went
home.
Having heard of the United Doc
tors through a lady friend 1 decided to
give them a call. although 1 confess
1 had no faith that they could cure
me After giving me careful exam
ination they told me that they could
help me. and as last hope / decide1
10 give them a chance. L have now
been taking treatment from them for
about five weeks, and my neck has
reduced more than three inches in
size. / am getting strong, sleep fine,
have a good appetite, and can see
and breathe all right. 1 feel like a
new person, and feel certain that the
cure will be complete and permanent.
/ take pleasurein recommending the
United Doctors to any person in need
OF medical assistance, especially any
one suffering from Goitre.
Respectfully yours,
Louisa Wiltberger.
Whittemore, Mich"
Voluntary testimonials like the
above, coming from a heart full OF
gratitude for her saved life and
health with no other object but to
guide some other sufferer TO reput-
able, skillful specialists, is what has
gained for the United Doctors the
confidence of all who know them.
The United Doctors do not depend
upon mere statements TO prove the
superiority of their new system OF
treatment. They point with pride to
clear record of cures made In their
various institutes over the country,
and refer YOU TO hundreds of thous-
ands Of patients who were sick but
are now well and strong.
Any sick person is safe in going to
these specialists. Their examination
and consultation are free, honest, and
confidential. and if they cannot relieve
your suffering they will candidly tell
you so and not take one penny Of
your money.

near Eastern Beach. Her daughter,
Mrs. Edward Abbott, and small son,
James, Of Wilton, N. H., and Miss
Katherine Lawer Of Northampton, ar
rived last week for an indefinite stay.
1t Is q matter of sincere regret to
notice the large quantities of waste
paper that are to be seen in several
sections of the most travelled part OF
the island. The greater part. of it Is
due to thoughtlessness on the part of
many, who without thinking, throw
paper bags and papers into the roads,
thus marr1ng the sightliness of the
main roads and giving the same any
thing but pleasing appearance.
Receptacles of suitable size should be
placed at several points on the main
road and If properly marked would no
doubt do much to abate this growing
nuisance. 1t should be the duty of
some one acting under the superin-
tendent of roads to visit at least the
main road from the Eastern Landing
to Central wharf once each week dur
ing the summer months and care for
such debris that is unsightly and de-
tracing from the natural beauty of the
island.
Messrs. Reed & Son of Scarboro re-
Gently attempted to locate a vein of
water on the land of Mrs. Clinton NJ
Hamilton. The firm went to a depth
of four hundred and seventy-two feet
and at this point they lost their drill.
Several attempts to extricate it failed
and this necessitated their abandoning
further work on this site. At the
depth located they found a flow of
water two and one-half gallons per
minute.
The residents of Chebeague will
learn with gratitude of the kind
gift of Mr.. Ellis Ames Ballard of Phil
adelphia and Chebeague of two coats
OF the best white paint for the Metho-
dist church, situated in the center
OF the island. Mr.. Ballard has done
much for the island in the repair line
and the paint will be especially appre-
ciated on account of the great neces-
sity for that useful article in the pres
ent instance.
Selectman and Mrs. A. C. Robbins
are again in charge Of Caldwell's bowl
ing alleys for the evenings only, as

ever their host of friends will be glad
to See them there, even if only a part
of each day.

Method In His madness.

A lady walking in a park saw a
boy with large loaf of bread,
which he was breaking into bits
and throwing to the ducks in the
lake. She paused and asked why
he was feeding them in that fash
ion.
Because" he answered seriously,
"if you cast your bread upon the
waters it'll return to you after
many days"
"And do you think your bread
will really come back to your

NapoIeon's Scholarship.

Napoleon was a poor speller, and
his bad handwriting gave rise to the
rumor that he wrote so purposely.
to conceal the fact that he, the
master of Europe, could not master
French orthography. In the early
days of the empire man Of mod,

"Who are you?" asked Napoleon
"Sire," said the man, '1 had the
honor at Brienne for fifteen months
to give writing and spelling lessons

NERVOUS PR0STRATl0N.
Natures Protest Against Burning tho
Candle at Both Ends.


Nervous prostration is a more or
less complete collapse Of the nerv-
Gus system. 1t occurs when the suf-
ferer has urged himself beyond the
limit of his nervous endurance. It
is most common in early or middle
life, when the nervous system is
most constantly taxed. When it oc-
ours in the very young excessive
work at school is usually the cause.
When it comes on later in life it is
because the struggle for existence is
proving too severe.
The breakdown is not always
caused by actual overwork. Some
times it means, in old fashioned
phrase, that 1.-The candle is being
burned at both ends" Only very
strong people can work hard and
keep late hours as well. The man
of average physical powers must
make up his mind to devote himself
to his worn and get his recreation in
healthful occupations outdoors. As
a means of rest and amusement for
the tired business or professional
man nothing is better than quiet
game of golf-not taken too seri-
ously.
Nervous prostration does not de-
clare itself without warning. There
are many danger signals. 1t may be
no longer possible to accomplish the
usual quantity or quality of work
because of impaired memoryNor loss
of power of concentration; peevish
irritability and a tendency to con-
slant faultfnding may appear in a
person formerly equable and Sc
rene; headaches may return each
day at about the same time-that is
to say, as soon as a certain degree
of fatigue is reached; there may be
nervous indigestion, and the sim
plest food may cause distress. In
some cases the mental depression is
so great that a strong man, at the
least provocation, will burst into
tears like girl.
Most cases of nervous prostration
could have been prevented if taken
in time. The ordinary man is intel
xligent enough to recognize in him
self the many signs of overstrain,
and there are few so driven by cir
cumstance that they cannot, if they
choose, relax little and evade the
coming trouble. If another hour is
added to the nights sleep, another
mile added to the daily walk, an oc-
casional day deliberately taken for
complete rest, an interesting hobby
taken up, the habit of worry firmly
checked, the nervous system will
quickly right itself. Worry is the
greatest spendthrift of nervous
force. We should all learn to be as
obstinate about not worrying as we
often are about worrying unneces-
sarily.-Youth's Companion.

Says Noah Webster: The four
teenth of February is a day sacred
to st Valentine. 1t was very odd
notion alluded to by Shakespeare,
that on this day birds began to cou-
pie; hence, perhaps, arose the GUS
tom of sending on this day letters
containing professions of love and
affection.
A Bible class was organized at the
Episcopal church last Sunday after
noon. There was large attendance
and Rev DIR Wilson's address was
very interesting and instructive.
These meetings will be continued on

churches or of none will be heartily
welcomed.

men are arranging to reopen their
business in the same community at
an early date. -.

Casualty Company Settles Promptly.

About five months ago Mr. Jas P
Adams, manager of the Southern
Furniture Co.'S establishment in
Kingstree, took out an insurance pol
icy with the Continental Casualty Co
of Chicago, with branch Office at
Washington, D G., which is repre-
sented here by Mr. P A Alsbrook.
Mr. Adams had paid into the COM
pany about $500. Several weeks
ago he was seized with an illness
which incapacitated him for work.
He sent his claim to the company on
January 26. The following return
dated January 81 is the prompt re-
ponse and explains itself.
45SS5S
Washington, D c,
January 81. 1913.
Mr. James P Adams,
Box 145, Kingstree, S C.
Dear Strive are in receipt of
your notice of illness with Variola
which began January 2.
If you will refer to the Health In
suring clause of your policy you will
note that same provides indemnities
only for the time that you are total
ly disabled from attending to each
and every duty pertaining to your
occupation, and under the care of a
doctor. 1t appears from the blank
which we have in our possession that
you were able to resume part of
your work at least January "a, after
having been totally disabled for a
period of twenty-five days.
The policy whieh you hold does
not provide indemnities for the first
three days Of any sickness. This
time has. therefore, been deducted
and there remains a period of nine
teen days that you will be entitled
to benefits at the full rate of $4,000
per month, amounting to S31.66.
You will find enclosed our check in
that amount, made payable to your
order, in full settlement of your
claim, and we trust that same will
be entirely satisfactory.
Yours truly,
Continental Casualty Company,
Nv WESNEN, Claim Ex.
This is a reliable company and its
policies the cheapest and best guar
antees against sickness and accident.
If you haven't a policy call on Mr.
Alsbrook and let him write you one.
