The United Doctors Specialist,
licensed by the State Of Kansas, for
the treatment of all diseases, includ-
ing deformities, nervous and chron-
ic diseases of men, women and chill
dren, offer to all who call on this
trip, consultation, examination, ad-
vice free, making no charge what
ever, except the actual cost OF treat
ment. All that is asked in return
for these valuable services is that
every person treated will state the
result obtained TO their friends and
thus prove to the sick and afflicted
in every city and locality, that at
last treatments have been discovered
that are reasonably sure and certain
in their effect.
The United Doctors are experts
in the treatment of chrome diseases
and so great and wonderful have
been their results that in many cases
it IS hard to find the dividing line
between skill and miracle.
Diseases of the stomach, intestin-
es, liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart,
spleen, rheumatism, sciatica, tape
worm, leg ulcers, weak lungs and
those afflicted with long.standing,
deep seated, chronic diseases, that
have baffled the skill of the family
physician, should not fail to call.
Deafness often has been cured in
sixty days.
According TO their system no more
operation for appendicitis, gall
stones, tumors, goiter, piles, etc,
as all cases accepted will be treated
without operation or hypodermic
injection, as they were among the
first in America TO earn the name of
"Bloodless Surgeons" by doing
away with the knife with blood and
with all pain in the successful treat
ment of these dangerous diseases.
No matter what your ailmeht may
be, no matter what others may have
told you, no matter what experience
you may have had with other ply sic
clans, it will be to your advantage
to see them at once. Have it for

case is incurable they will give you
such advice as may relieve and stay
the disease. Do not put off this
duty you owe yourself or friends or
relatives who are suffering because
of your sickness, as a visit at this
time may help you.
Worn out and run. down men or
women, no matter what your all.
ment may be, call, il costs you

Find Body

Advices were received here late last evening to the effect that the body of the late Dr. Charles H. Bowker had been recovered from the Roosevelt lake and was to be shipped to Washington, D. C.. for burial in the Arlington cemetery. Ever since the accident which re- suited in his death an effort has been made to locate the body. Yes terday afternoon, after a number of charges of giant powder had been exploded in the vicinity of where he disappeared, the body came to the surface. It was taken 10 Roosevelt and then to Globe, from which point it will be ship ped to Washington.
 Mrs. Bowker. who has been here for the past few days, will leave today to accompany the remains to that place.
