Decrease in receipts received from

Like many other things the decrease
in receipts is blamed to the war

MODERN METHOD OF
TREATING THE SICK

This new lntra-venous system Of treat
ment as originated. advocated and admin.
istered by The Associated Doctors, is at
tracing widespread attention Throughout
the East because Of its remarkable efficacy
/ in alleviating deep-seated, chronic and lin.
gering diseases In fact. il is believed By
many TO be the greatest agent for relief and
permanent benefit that we have with US to-
day. Doctors from far and near, inyestl
eating this new system Of healing the sick
are actually surprised at the quick benefit
given 70 chronic sufferers Eliminating the
old, inferior methods Of the past, and use
less drugs and surgery, 10 is surprising
how quickly IL relieves stubborn, chronic
ailments that have battied for many years
the ordinary forms Of medication.
Intra-venous Methods not only relieve
disease, but they check and cure disease
as testimonial after testimonial gladly and
freely given by numerous patients abso-
/ lutely prove. Stimulating the body tC
acfivity, this new system Of treatment
brings about a purified blood supply the
elimination Of poisons the equalization OF
al the bodily forces. the strengthening OF
the nerve centres, thereby returning the
health and vigorous vitality that are the
rightful heritage of every man and woman
rich or poor. 1t means comfort. happiness
long life, sound sleep, good digestion, con-
tent and Joy to be alive.
Hardly a day passes that. some sufferer
known Of this treatment before" This Is
true IN many cases People do not realize
what prompt relief they may have With the
Intra-venous treatment Many people are
restrained from coming through the fact
that the treatment is advertised. Could
anything be more ridiculous? To think
that because a new method is explained in
the daily press 1t must be some fake"
Again, people are afraid that the treat
ments are painful. Well we have given
them to children Of less than seven and to
older people up to seventy. Nervous
urn
clientele as well as Representatives from all
walks in life Ministers, Farmers, Law
yers. Physicians. Dentists and business
men, as well as workers Don't let any
thing influence you against coming to
these Doctors and have them at least give
you their opinion. It win cost you moth
ing and may be the means of putting you
on the road to health and happiness.
