and who have their Keokuk institute
located on the second floor over Mil
ler's shoe store. GIG Main street.
Mr.. Belts has decided that as the
results in his own case were SO graft
flying, 1t was a duty he owed to other
sick people to tell them of his treat
ment and he has therefore made tho
following statement for publication:
Fairbanks, Iowa, Dec. IS, 1910.
For over three months / was not
able to work and was in bed for sew
an weeks. When I got out of bed !
was not able to get around without
the aid OF crutches. I went to see the
United Doctors on Nov. 18th, Of this
year. They said the cause Of my trou-
BILE was my kidneys. I began their
treatment and In two weeks laid aside
my clutches and can now get around
without them. The pain and sore
ness in my limbs is about all gone.
81 cannot say enough In praise of
these doctors for what they have al
ready done for me.
ISAAC Belts"
II Any sick person is safe in going to
the United Doctors. Their examina-
ton Is free and they are honest with
their patients; II they do not believe
they can cure you they will tell you
so.

tee to refund the money If it does not
cure. Yet this is the way Wilkinson

ing Mi-o-na, the standard dyspepsia
remedy.
Never before have they had so large
O number Of customers tell them that
q medicine has been successful as
with Mona. People who few months
ago looked like walking skeletons
have put on flesh and today are ruddy
and vigorous with perfect digestion
and good health.
There is no longer any need for any
one suffering or making their friends
suffer on account Of dyspepsia. Mi
o-na can always be relied upon. The
percentage of cures is so great that
there Is little risk to Wilkinson & Co.
In guaranteeing to return the money
II the medicine does not relieve And
they stand ready to do so without any
questions.
Headaches, all forms Of indigestion,

forms OF liver trouble are helped by

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call It, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving q cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

The procedure Of the case here as
outlined by the attorney general to

l1m1nary hearing and will be bound
over to the grand jury. Attorney

with writ OF habeaus corpus. The

him In Des Moines, ind they will ask
for an immediate hearing from the

this way 1t is expected that an early
decision can be reached.
9Mr. Cosson has acted entirely fair
and square in this matter" Mr.. Bal

client and feel that we have been
given square deal in the case, and
I want to say that we both have more
respect for the attorney general ofthe
state for the way he has acted IN
this than we ever had"
Make Sale Soon.
The sale Of. the test drink by Mr..
Nickel to Mr.. Krieger will be made
just as soon as the government license
stamp can be secured The stamp
was sent to Dubuque to the revenue
Office today. AS soon as 1t is re-
turned, the license will be placed on
the Leisy building, and the sale Of
the drink will be made. The arrest
will follow. and then will come the
legal battle. 1t is possible that the
sale can be made sooner than Janu-
airy 10. but 1t may not be before Fri
day or Saturday, Mr.. Ballinger said
The attorney general is waving
any additional legal tactics. and the
case will be fought squarely on the
issue of whether or not the repeal is
valid. The Davenport case of this
morning involves arrests, and an in
junction suit and will be fought
through the lower courts to the high
court, while the Keokuk case will be
taken directly to the high court.
