free examination. We have had such uniformily good luck in treating this class of diseases that wfe are inclined to be a little bit boastful. Read what , , .. a fe of our cured patients say about us: "I have had a varicosed ulcer on my leg for eight long years. The sore was about the size of the palm of my hand and owing to the swelling of the leg made it almost as large again as the other leg. The depression made by the sore was almost as deep as the thickness of my finger. I had tried so many, different, treatments and doctors without any success that I had become thoroughly discouraged. I took treatment of Dr. Leedy four months. True it was a long time, but today the leg is sound and well. I wish I had found Dr. Leedy's treatment eight years ago. "EDW. EBERST, " 522 Murray Street, Hammond, Ind." "Track Foreman, Erie R. R. Co. "For six yearB I had a large open sore on my leg. I had taken treatment of numerous doctors, and had used every remedy or preparation that I could hear of that I thought would do me any good. I was thoroughly discouraged, for It was painful in the extreme and I doubted if it ever could be cured. When I came to Dr. Leedy, he would not take my case unless I would promise to come regularly to the office for treatment. I confess I was skeptical at first, but I was ready to try almost anything. The improvement was marked from the first. It was a trifle tedious to go regularly to the office for the Xray and other light treatments, but the results were perfect and today, now more than three years, my leg has remained perfectly well, with no indications of further trouble. . ;'MRS.
