TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTIETH
VISIT.

DIR. Wilbert Shallenberger, the Chi
cago Specialist, has visited Iowa for
seventeen years. Not another record
west of the Mississippi This ac-
counts for his large practice and
proves beyond doubt that he has
made good and helped back to health
those who have gone to him with the
worst forms of chronic diseases after
failing to get cure from other treat
ments. His rare experience and OPP
portunity with SO many cases OF all
kinds in these years of practice have
taught him many truths he must know
to get results. If you need a doctor
consult him at Manchester, Hotel Clar-
ence, Friday, October 4th. You see
him each month thereafter for years
to come the same as in the past No
charge for consultation.
