Wonderful Results?Marvelous Demonstration in Chronic Disease Cases by Their New System Treatment. OFFER SERVICE FREE Ut CHARGE. Word has just been received that the Associated Doctors, specialists, licensed by the State of South Carolina, and who have met with such phenomenal success throughout the entire southeast, will be in Bamberg on Saturday, August 10th, for one day only to demonstrate their new system of treatment of chronic disease cases. This will indeed be good news to those who find it inconvenient to visit the central laboratories in Birmingham, located at Suite 311-12 L}*ric Theatre Building, where the organiza tion has Southern headquarters. These regular, reputable physicians believe that the combined skill of several trained specialists in chronic diseases can accomplish more than one doctor alone?in other words, in unity there is strength. The offer to treat all who call on this visit absolutely free, is their original method of getting their sys tem of treatment before the public quicker, and no one, rich or poor, white or colored, should neglect to , take advantage of their very liberal offer?ABSOLUTELY FREE (medicine excepted.) No cutting?No knife. \ It makes no difference how many doctors you have consulted or howmany patent medicines you have taken, you can not afford to miss this opportunity of ascertaining your ex act condition and be honestly advised. No one should require further evidence of the skill of these specialists, than the following letter recently received from a well known Baptist , minister: - VI can't thank you enough, Doctor," said the Rev. R. L. Fletcher, 1 well-known minister, as he entered the crowded reception rooms of the . Associated Doctors, and continued to nrft'iidc r\i nraicft tn all thosfi as OpCCvA rv UI UO VI Jk/j. mamn/ WV ; sembled.

As sdon as I noticed your ' announcement and learned from so 1 many j/eople of your cures, I came to your office. "I had indeed about lost hope, but today?even after taking your mar1 velous treatment for only this short period, I am a new man; eat well, sleep well and feel like a man in , my prime.
