SURGICAL OPERATIONS
ARE NOT POPULAR
People Would Prefer to BE Cured by
Medicine and Remain
Whole.
NO ONE LIKES TO BE CUT.
South Bend Und.) Woman Tells How
She Was Saved From an Operation
BY United Doctors Treatment.

The fad for surgery appears to be
dying the death that is the common
fate of all fads-gradually going out
of fashion. Surgery never was really
popular with its victims. No one real
ly wants TO be cut to pieces; we would
all much prefer to remain whole as
nature made us, and if we are sick
we would prefer TO be cured by the
scientific use of various drugs and
medicines that an alI-wise Creator has
provided TO- the curing of diseases
Few women have been submitted to
the surgeons knife except when fright
ened into il by being told by the sur
geon that it was the only hope. An
other reason why surgery is not pop
ular is that the person who is operated
upon is rarely well. II the original all
ment is "cut out" quite often a new
one, as bad or worse, is brought on
by the operation.
Since il has been demonstrated time
and again that the intelligent scien-
tifc application of medicines will cure
many conditions which were formerly
considered hopeless, the Richmond In
stitute of the United Doctors, on the
second floor of the Hittle Block. cor
ner Ninth and Main streets, has be-
come a court of last resort for those
who are sick with chronic diseases.
Mrs. Winona Fuller. of 5I4 West
Division street, South Bend, Ind. was
treated by these specialists without
the use of a knife. and now writes:
South Bend. Ind. May 81, 1913.
Dear Doctors-For the last four or
five years / have been in a very Sc
rious physical condition. | had suf-
fered so long that / grew weak, could
hardly drag about the house. Finally
was compelled to take to my bed.
the doctors said / had consumption.
Then l was taken to the hospital,
where / remained four weeks, and for
a time was apparently better. but in a
short time the trouble returned, and
suffered again most acute pain in my
back and chest. II seemed that this
awful suffering would never cease and
that ! would finally have to give up
the fight for relief. / was like so many
who have constant misery which one
doctor says is due to one cause,
while the next doctor gives an entirely
different reason for the distress. Rea-
sons and opinion are plenty, but not
much relief. This is the way I went
on from bad to worse, until / had
given up all hope of ever getting back
my health, and when / went 10 the
United Doctors l expected to get q
prescription for a little medicine for
temporary relief. The specialist in
charge gave me a careful examination,
and to my surprise told me i could
get back my health This / doubted.
as had tried so many doctors without
any permanent result.
Now / am so very happy over the
great results / have obtained that
words fail to tell my feelings, and
can freely recommend the services of
these great specialists to any one who
may be suffering as ] did.
