DROPPED
OVER DEAD!

The Masons down the valley, from Sanderson up, are
rejoicing over the rapid recovery of Mr.. D. {. Beard,
one of their most popular members whom they, with their
Characteristic kindness, brought to Fl Paso after two
strokes of paralysis, and placed him under DR.. Ira W..
Collins at the Osteopathic lnfImary. His rapid recovery
is due to his having been taken to the Osteopath at once
instead of beng weakened and exhausted by drugs, as
is the case with about Is percent of people who only try
the Osteopaths for their troubles when they have been
given up by every other method and are so exhausted by
stimulants and drugs that they are expecting to die every
day. 1t is so easy for Osteopaths to cure every disease
nearly if taken IN the start.
Mrs. C. H, ROSS, OF NEW MEXICO. WHO
HAD A STROKE OF PARALYSIS, Is now able
to walk to the DR.. Still Osteopathic lnhmary and take
her treatments. After every other means had failed we
find these cases are nearly always brought about by ex-
hausting the nerves by physics or stimulants or mineral
waters. 1t IS the same way with liver troubles and
Bright disease as the nerves are paralyzed to these parts
from drugs. simulants, mineral waters and etc. That
Is why so many are dropping dead now days instead Of
going to the Osteopaths and getting the nerves freed and
cured of all their troubles they exhaust their hearts with
stimulants and mineral waters and death Is sure to follow.
While the Osteopaths at the Dr.. A. T. Still Osteopathic
InhmaY are curing the greatest percent ever known of all
kinds of diseases. They are the people who freed the
nerves and cured all these Mastoid Assesses, Appen-
dicits, Brighfs Disease, Liver Troubles, Catarrhal
Troubles of every description. Old dead Ivers, stomachs
sore eyes Of every description, female troubles IN every
form. Oldbm lungs and bad Threats and sores of every
description.
And YET, some people will still stick to dope. while their
friends are dying like moths around a candle. Life IS
too precious to fool with dope and poisons and stmulants
and knives, for every thing about you IS needed for good
health. DR.. Ira w. Collins new discoveries IN new
methods of freeing nerves Is the reason Of their remark
able success of late.
