WARM WELCOME GIVEN
THE UNITED SPECIALISTS

The United Specialists are highly
gratif1ed over their reception yester-
day upon the opening Of their new
Grand Forks Medical Institute. Their
reception room was full from 9 a. m.
to p. m. Quite number of town
people were noticed, while there were
quite few from the country and
nearby towns: also few of the busi-
ness men Of the city called to pay
their respects and wish the doctors
success. One business caller remark
ed that Grand Forks had long needed
an institution of this character, not
only for the benefit Of humanity. but
in order to keep the money here at
home which would necessarily be
spent abroad. Mr.. ]. r. Goode, a
farmer living near Larimore, was one
of the callers from out Of town. He
| came to consult the doctors about his
wife, While waiting his turn in the
reception room, he remarked as fol-
lows:
Il have great confidence in these
specialists, as my brother. who lives
| near Muncie, Ind, was cured by them
four years ago Of a severe case of
gall stones after four doctors had said
that he would surely die unless he
was operated upon at once; instead he
called on the United Specialists at
their Muncie, Ind, institute, and is a
