by the State of Colorado. He visits
professionally the more important
towns and cities, and offers to all
who call on this trip consultation and
examination free, except the expense
of treatment when desired.
According to his method of coming
to your nearest city to see patients
he gives all the sick people an oppor-
tunity to obtain the, best that medical
science can offer right at home. He
does not operate for chronic appen-
dicitis, gall stones, ulcers of stomach,
tonsils or adenoids.

full results in diseases of the stomach,
liver, bowels, blood, skin, nerves,
heart, kidney, bladder, bed wetting,
catarrh, leg ulcers and rectal ailments.
If you have been ailing for any
