PUTTING 1T UP TO PROFESSOR.

Some years ago at an annual re-
union Of some professional men in an
eastern city there We re gathered to-
gether some pretty good stOry-tellers.
Among them was a college professor,
who had spent his vacation in a rura
town on the coast.
One day he came upon a group Of
farmers at the corner store, and af'
ter some casual remarks had passed
between himself and the men one fel
low moved nearer to the professor,
as if to claim his whole attention.
BE you one Of them fellers who
knows everything as was ever writ?''
he asked.
The professor replied that he had
studied a good deal along some lines
and perhaps knew considerable about
some things.
Apparently satisfied that he at last
had found where he could be sure as
Of the correctness of his information

the rules neatly in the form of q

OFFER THEIR SERVICES
FREE OF CHARGE


censed by the State of Kansas for
the treatment of deformities and all
nervous and chornic disease of men,
women, and children, offer to all who
call on this trip, consultation, exami-
nation, advice free, making no charge
whatever, except the actual cost of
medicine. All that is asked in re-
turn for these valuable services is
that every person treated will state
the result obtained to their friends
and thus prove to the sick and af-
flicted in every city and locality, that
at last treatments have been discov-
cred that are reasonably sure and
certain in their effect.
These doctors are considered BY
many former patients among Ameri-
ca S leading stomach and nerve spe-
cialists and are experts in the treat
ment Of chronic diseases and so
great and wonderful have been their
results that in many cases it is hard
indeed to find the dividing line be-
tween skill and miracle.
Diseases of the stomach, intestines,
liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart,
spleen, kidneys or bladder, rheuma-
tism, sciatica, diabetes, bed-wetting,
leg ulcars, weak lungs and those af-
flicted with long-standing, deep
seated, chronic diseases, that have
baffled the skill of the family physi-
clans, should not fail to call.
If you are troubled with Piles you
should be sure to call. Don't wait for
more serious complications to tell you
of the dangers of this cruel disease,
act now. The Berlin Medical Special
lists have cured cases where doctors
and even operations have utterly fail
ed. A cure in the most severe case
is practically certain.
According to their system no more
operations for Appendicitis, gall
stones, tumors, goiter or certain
forms of cancer. They were among
the first in America TO earn the
name of "BlOOdless Surgeons" by do
ing away with the knife, with blood
and with all pain in the successful
treatment of those dangerous diseas-
es.
If you have kidney or bladder trou-
bles bring a two-ounce bottle of your
urine for chemical analysis and mi
croscopic examination.
Deafness often has been cured in
Sixty Gays.
No matter what your ailment may
be, no matter what other may have
told you, no matter what experience
you may have had with other physi-
clans, it will be to your advantage to
see them at once. Have it forever
settled in your mind. If your case is
incurable they will give you such ad-
vice as may relieve and stay the di-
sease. Do not put off this duty you
owe yourself or friends or relatives
who are suffering because of your
sickness, as a visit this time may
help you.

one day only.
