Foulard Is combined with serge for the "trotteur" or convenient walking dress. Lovely are the bags of white velvet decorated with narrow stripes done In black beads.

Still Another Patient Testifies After Seven Long Years of Suffering. For several weeks I have been print, ing in this paper testimonials from Hammond people who have taken treatment of me. These testimonials are not from Texas or California. They are from Hammond, your own friends and neighbors. If you are a sufTerer from any chronic disease or for any reason need a physician and have any doubt, Ask Them. Now I am convinced that few people are aware of the elaborate and costly equipment of my office, and to readily acquaint the sicn and afflicted with my line of sanitarium treatments, I will give to each NEW orBEGINNING patient one month's treatment absolutely free, charging only for the medicine that I use. Is that not fair?

Have I not done all in human power to convince you? I can not cure you unless you give me a chance. Read what another Hammond patient says: For seven long years I have suffered with rheumatism. At times bedfast, at other times scarcely able to do my work and for months at a time not able to be out of the house. I have taken treatment of different doctors, used innumerable home treatments, even a change of climate, but none of these thinga did me as much . good as I have received in takins treatment a little over two months from Dr. Leedy. Now I can go to bed and sleep all night and can do my work with ease, somethinj I have not done for months. Now I am wearing my shoes, so mathing I have not done for two years. I wish I might have met Dr. Leedy with his sanitarium treatments years ago, the last seven years of my life would have - been a different story I am sure. MRS.
