MISS MARION M'LEAN

1908 Boston Avenue, City.
Feared She was Done For When She
No Longer Could Hold Glass OF
Water In Hand. Had Absolutely No
Control; Now Feels As Strong As
Ever After Taking Months Treat
ment of The United Doctors.
Read what this lady says about her
recovery:
] can hardly express my gratitude
to The United Doctors for what they
have done for me. Last July. while
ironing. / was taken with q cramp in
my wrist | thought that the pain
would leave in day or so; instead,
the pains began to increase steadily
and it was SO that / could not even
hold a glass of water In my hand. /
called on a doctor, who treated me
for a while. and instead of improving
| continually kept getting worse. l
then went to another doctor. and was
told to paint with iodine. l not only
did that, but tried everything else
everybody told me. l finally gave up
all hope of ever knowing that it was
only question of time before ! would
become helpless. l read the adyer-
tisement of The United Doctors, and
some of my friends advised me to
call on them. After doing so was
convinced by these specialists that
could be benefited. l had very little
faith. but took their treatment. After
one months time I wish to say that
cannot praise The United Doctors
high enough. IS ! was not only re-
lieved. but practically cured.
feel that it is my duty to the
Doctors, as well as to other sufferers.
to advise those who have failed to
have obtained to get relief not to give
up hope. but consult The United Doc
tors without fail. as feel that what
they have done for me they may do
for others.--AdY.

little girl IN a RUSSIAN family reside

witch carrying a parrot in a cage at
9 o'clock on the night of the murder.
The parrot lived in Mrs. Jenkins sit
ting room, adjoining her bedroom on
one side, while Franks room was on
the other.
The police laughed at my theory,
although the lock of hair business
impressed them. The parrot was
being kept in the sitting room as
evidence for the prosecution. And
now confess to a trick played.
I make this admission with regret,
but 1 was morally convinced of the
guilt of Jad and his accompice. 1t
was necessary to stage the scene so
as to surprise Semplovitch into a
confession. And sO-well, the house
was sealed up, but even a middle
aged lawyer can climb through
window with a loose catch upon oc-
cation.
And so, having visited Semplovitch
and gathered an impression as to his
family relations, much to his disgust
and SUSPICION, took my phonograph
into the sitting room and coached
that parrot five successive nights
with the assistance of sundry sun
flower seeds. When all was ready l
induced the police chief to bring Jad
and Semplovitch into the sitting
room by day. turned on the barber.
''You took a lock Of Frank Jen-
kins' hair from the floor of Chioz-
zi's," 1 said.
Taken by surprise, the fellow yet
managed to express blank lack of
understanding. So 1 removed the
cover from the parrots cage:
The bird tapped it's wings and be-
gan to Shrek.
'Take me home! Take me home!
Jad's going to kill my mistress!
