El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-12-19
down IN the prime Of Life.

In the case of McClenny against DR..
Collins, which was thrown out of court,
he had been suffering with gall stones
and the doctors of Ell Paso were using
every effort to keep the board from grant
ing DR.. Collins a permit and after en-
ploving the ablest detectives of the
state to interview hundreds of his pa
tients they could find nothing but good
reports. And the detectives, being hon
est. said there was nothing to do but
prosecute DR.. Collins on a technicality
for not registering his permit which had
been granted to him six years ago but
never delivered, so that he might be
prosecuted under that technacality and
the doctors went down to the board and
beseeched them to hold it back so they
might try to crush out his business and
turn his family out penniless in the
streets, because he had dared to cure
thousands of people in and around FL
PasO.
So this McClenny, who had posed as
a wealthy landlord of one of the largest
hotels in Texas, had run a bill at the
Dr. Still OsteOpathic Infirmary and was
unable to meet it. He told witnesses
that the doctors persuaded him that a
limb of his, which had been injured in
a railroad wreck, could be used against
Dr. Collins in a damage suit, as DR..
Collins had treated him for gall stones
which they claimed was not the matter
with him.
So they bandaged up that old rheu-
matte limb and kept him under their
care at the hospitals until he run out
of money, then as usual, they threw him
out on a cold world. But before he
skipped they had him spread on the
court record a $4,000 suit for damages
to his old rheumatic hip and file
pauper's bond so it would cost nothing,
as nobody would back it witlE money,
as Dr. Collins would have grabbed it if
they had, as the suit was a frame up
which they used for all it was worth
before the board.
But no attempt was ever made to
bring the suit. Why? Because the
doctors at Midland had diagnosed the
case the same as DR.. Collins had. that
of gall stones, which always increases
rheumatic conditions and produces sore
ness in all old injuries. And although
he improved steadily in health for a
year or so after taking treatments, when
the gall stones began to trouble him
again and he had to depend on medicine,
like some of the rest of humanity, he
died.
And it was pronounced the result of
gall stones. So the frame up wouldn't
work when he fell into the hands of
honest physicians. But the viciousness
of inhuman FL Paso doctors behind it
showed visably.
It reminded us of the time when a
most estimable lady fell down
stairs because of cramp from
Sciatica and they bandaged up her foot
and said her ankle was disloeated and
as she was wealthy about half a dozen
of the leading medical grafters gathered
around and claimed she would be laid
up for several months from the injury
The pain became so intense from the re-
tarded circulation from bandaging
AlGAdllGd AlluL IL Was ulAluluA dUlt- vi
course there was nothing to do but
morphine her.
But she was an intelligent and re-
fined lady and had too much sense. So
she sent for DR.. Collins who, on examin-
atiOn informed her that the nerves
were congested at the spine and causing
Sciatica and that ankle was not dislo-
Gated. So over the protest of all the
wise medical grafters the bandages were
taken off and burned up and instead
of several months suffering death. she
was out in the city as usual in a few
days and their big graft was spoiled.
Another frame up against DR.. Collins
was spoiled when he was arrested for
treating Mrs. German, who, it was
claimed, was laying at deaths door
with appendicitis and that if an oper-
alton wasn't performed at once that
there was no hope and that it had begin
to stuff off (same old story they told
you but which never happens for if it
did they couldn't sew up the intestines
when they had cut the appendix, for it
couldn't hold stitches.
And that the Osteopath would burst
the tender appendix. Now out of 1900
cases of appendicitis and female diseases
This certifies that I, G. L. Hannah,
County, State of Texas, and that I took
FL PasO who had been treated at the Dr..
Dr. Ira W. Collins, for nearly every disc
the fact that they were cured, and were
treatment.
