Little Anna Erickson is Now Able to Walk About

Complete Cure is Assured Patient Who Has Been Under Joint Care of Hospital and Children's Dispensary.

A nr.. i Krick.son. South land's little charge at Epworth hospital ran walk. Aftr 1G months of medical treatment th i able for thf f'M time In lu-r I:!' to st'p without the wracking pains whirh before deterred her from trying. The stifr plaster cast has been r moved and replaced with a light loose bandage .vhich permits hr to w rigle about and gain .stn-nfcth in the diseail little bark which has been mar eloussly cured. Her complete cure, which is now as. pured. will mark tho suc cess of ono of the most remarkable medical experiments which has ben made in the ity and its accomplishment will bring personal pleasure to the hundred of South Henri people who, through their financial aid, helped to lestore the little k'irl to health. The .years whb h it was at first thought the case would require have been r dured to months and. though the child is by no means well as yet, hep complete recovery will be correspondingly swift. One thing, now, however, is urgent and that is plenty of fre.h air and sunshine. For this reason the attending physician is eager that she should be placed In some private home, where the change, the opportunity for morv personal attention ani'i the humoring of her littleL'irl desires by a mother hand, he believe.s. would do her more good than anything else which he might prescribe. round Yrar Ago. It was a year ago last December that Anna was found by the dispensary nur-e and her case brought before the public with the result that a fund was raised to provide for her treatment at the ho.-pital. She was placed in a plaster of paris cast in which it wasthen thought she would have to remain several years. The cast was changed at intervals, when Anna was permitted to hop around on th" bed for a little while until the cast was l placed. The bones in the little back knit rapidly and there came a day, not so Vry long ago, when Anna was lifted from the bed and To; the first time in the six .years of her life walked easily, painlessly and unassisted across the room. Since that time she has been jermitted to walk but little as too much ercisi would be harmful, but the new freedom is such a Jov to the little shut-in thai she sometimes braving the displeasure of the nurses in charge of her, creeps from the bed in their absence and plays about the room until someone comes in and then .he peeps over the side of the bed and U ir. her big brown eyes plead silently for leniency. Most of the time, though, the little invalid spends in bed in 1 bandages nhich fasten her to a steel frame. She passes a good many hours with a spelling board over which she works with agile lingers and an equally agile 'mind. IJut of all things, now, Anna loves stories and ;ny one who visits her must be prepared to satisfy the insistent demand to "tell me a story!" or tie condemned to tentative popularity. When a reporter railed on Anna yesterday she proved more eager, for a story than to speak of her new lound freedom. ,,Ioes it seem good to walk, Anna?" the reporter asked. At that the brown head nodded viTovouslv. "I tut we hear. Anna, that sometimes yo.i pet out of bed and walk around and play without permission when nurse is away." She (ilcs lp Secret. Her eyes opened roundly with surprise and she exclaimed. "Why, where did ou -find out?" Having satisfactorily explained the sour'e of information, the isitor asked. 'T.ut v. hi re were you. Anna, when ail this ha;v?iud? Where were you wh-ii vr-,4 stop a march on the nurse?" lleaehing out her little arms Anna drew tlie isitor's head down and whispered mysteriously, "If you won't tell anybody. I'll tell .you It was right in this room." "And what did yoa do?" asked the visitors, whispering in her turn. " h. played around and papa was

and doctors made her well and happy attain like other little ffirls." "Oh, that's me!" interrupted the little invalid excitedly. "And tlnally when the spring came and the Eras. grew soft and preen and the leaves came out and the Uowers bloomed, some kind lady eame to the hospital and took this little girl away in a carriage took her to a beautiful house where there wis a large yard with trees and flower.. And here the little girl grew well and strong and then one day she was taken to a big square, bright room in a brick building and in the room there were tiny low tables and little red chairs In which were seated lots of little boys and girls making all forts of pretty things out of colored papers and playing all sorts of lovely game. and the little girl joined in the games and lived happily ever after!" Anna listened wraptly but at the end she 5aid in a sad little voice. "But that isn't me, Vause I never did anything like that." IJut Anna shall do something like that, shall she not? There must be some home and some mother that will help the litle girl in her last steps toward health and happiness.

Extract from letter of Prof. Ehrlich: Judging from all the report received by me. It appears that the intravenous injection Is to b preferred to all other method of administration, as far as permancy of e(?ect la concerned. Although I have to admit that this method of administration will prove an obstacle to the introduction of the remedy In general practice, on account of certain technical difficulties. I believe that the Interests cf the patient demand that only the most efficient form of treatment should be decided upon. I should feel much obliged to you if you will as heretofore assist me in this direction, and In the future aploy as much as possible of the Intravenous mode for the administration of the remedy.

VARICOCELE

aricoce!e is a diseased condition of the scrotal veins. It maj he caused by blows, kicka. falls, heavy lining, mumps, early Indisrr-tion. or may be a symptom only of somo special weakness. The proper treatment consists of locf.l application for the purpose of dispelling the stagnant blood and contracting the swollen veins, as well as internal medication to strengthen the nerves which govern the blood supply to these veins. Though causing you no trouble at the present time, your Varicocele will, if permitted to go without the proper treatment, impair and destroy tho elements of vitality. We daily demonstrate that Varicocele can be positively and apeedily cured without cutting, burning or any other form of operation. UNNATURAL DISCHARGES Unnatural discharges, whether recent or chronic;- Gonorrhea, Glt. Stricture. Inflammation of the Bladder and Prostate, Orchitis, Hydrocele and Varicocele in all their etagea. forms and complications, cured quickly, permanently and without hindrance to business by rmdifj tested in many years of special practice. NERVO-VITAL DEBILITY SYMPTOMS The patient is usually undecided and timid; at times there may be great despondency and loss of energy, a feeling that recovery is Impossible; digestion sometimes weak; complexion tsickly; unable to endure much exertion of any kind; muscles weak and flabby; in ability to concentrate the mind, and aversion to society TREATMENT After a careful study of the SPECIvll SYMPTOMS OF EACH CASE, the proper treatment is prescribed accordingly. Certain drugs temporarily cause an irritative stimulation, but their ue never results In permanent benefit, and often does much harm. The remedies we use are absolutely free from ail such. and. while acting with rapidity, leav PEUMANENT EFFECTS. The good results once obtained, the patient Is not forced to continue their use. STRICTURE For the benefit of Stricture we have discovered and developed a ejstem that gives all the benefits of surgery without the pain that surgery Involves; a painless system of curing Stricturs which acta directly upon the. affected parts, dissolves the abnormal tissue, etops all Irritation and allays all Inflammation of the Bladder and Prostata
