NOTHING IS TOO
GOOD FOR THE
SICK PEOPLE

The fact that the United Doctors
are giving examinations to all call.
ers and treating cases that can be re-
lieved tree Of charge. except for the
cost of the medicine used, has led
some to believe that these doctors are
catering to those who want an In
ferior treatment. This Is wrong Inn
preston and should be corrected.
The United Doctors are In no way
to be compared with some doctors
who attempt to secure patients by
cheap offers. The fncts In the case
are that the Treatment offered by the
United Doctors Il one Of the most ex-
pensive known to the medical world
One of the reasons. why the United
Doctors are invariably successful in
treating chronic diseases is that their
treatment embraces all of the best
medicines used by the allopath, the
homeopata, and the eclectic. They take
the best of all and leave the bad
They use none but the very best and
purest Of drugs and necessarily that
means expensive drugs. Most OF their
medicines are compounded and pre-
pared in their own laboratory. thus
avoiding all chances OF mistake in
filling prescriptions
While this United Doctors system
Of treating disease Is more expensive
than ordinary treatment; yet thoss
who know of the wonderful success
Of these specialists do not hesitate
to go to them regardless OF price.
And after all. medical treatment
such as theirs is much cheaper than
ordinary treatment. Good treatment
Is cheap at any price, and poor treat
ment is dear at any price. In secur-
Ing medical treatment 1t is not what
you put out in dollars and cents. but
what you are going 10 get in health,
that really should be considered. AL
SO the fact that the United Doctors
are always busy; which enables them
to furnish this high grade treatment
at price within the reach OF all, and
at price that is not greater than is
charged by ordinary doctors.
The United Doctors are not cor
poration or a trust. They are an as
ISOLATION of specialists, each having
charge OF an office or institute In
different cities. But these master
specialists have worked together to
unite the various systems Of treatment
into one perfect system, hence the
term united" refers to the system OF
medicine used and not to the number
Of doctors In an Office, as many infer.

Test

Now come the first California navel
oranges of the season. Six months
have passed since this king Of citrus
fruits has appeared in the grcieries
and fruit stores of the city.
The navel comes a little later than
usual this year because of the adop.
ton Of a new standard of excellence
which must be passed before the
fruit can be packed and shipped. This
is called the IS to ! test" because
there must be eight parts Of sugar to
one of acid.
Thus the first navels are perfect
although little late in coming.

monetary amounts stipulated. which
