DECLARED
Ex-Service Men Resent Sena
tor's Allegations.
SOLDIERS HELD INSULTED
Assertion That Men Were Executed
Without Trial in France Ground
less, Veterans Assert.
That the charges- made by Senator
Watson of Georgia regarding the
hanging and killing of men of the
American expeditionary force with
out trial are false and utterly with-
out foundation Is the opinion of
cores of veterans of the world war
who saw service in France. They
declare the charges an Insult to the
men who wore the army uniform
during the war and express the opin
Ion that Watson's claims were either
made for political effect or are the
product of a diseased mind. .
Many of the men who saw service
at the front admit there probably
were instances where shooting, was
necessary to preserve the morale of
the troops. They call attention to
the fact that when in action troops
have no time for courts-martial, but
must act Immediately. - Willful dia
obedience to orders calls for Imme
diate punishment.
Sergeant Paul Mirat, who had
served for three years at-the front
with, the French army before going
to Camp Lewis in 1917 as an lnstruc
tor, had no hesitancy in telling of
the manner In which rebels in the
army of France' were punished.
. French Mutineer Shot. .
Mirat told how 17 men In a com
pany of the French army banded to
getber one morning before time to
go over the top" and endeavored to
cause their company to mutiny. They
were taken out by their officer and
without trial, lined up and shot
Then their comrades were marched
by them so that they might observe
and be warned against disobedience
at a time when courage was required.
Opinions of Portland veterans re
gardlng the charges made by Senator
Watson follow:
Dean G. Ray, sergeant major, 316th
military police Lies. Trumped up
charges. Watson Just wanta to make
a, holler.
Thomas Mulvey, sergeant hadquar
ters troop, 91st division, and disabled
veteran There Is to my way of
thinking nothing to the charges made
by Senator Watson. If the charges
had been true we would have heard
about them a long time ago. The
characters of fine men and real sol
diera are being besmirched by men
who do not care for the truth. They
have attacked General Lucius Hoi
brook. I served several years under
that man In the regular army cavalry
and no finer man or soldier ever
lived.
Insult, Says Veteran.
Douglas McKay, lieutenant 361st
infantry, disabled veteran and adju
tant of Portland post of the American
Legion Senator Tom Watson has in
sulted the American expeditionary
forces. . Hia charge is an outrage,
utterly without foundation, and a
disgrace. I was at base hospital 46
when a hanging took place near by.
I was a patient and could not attend.
The man was a negro and had been
tried and convicted of a crime for
which he should have been hanged.
Everyone considered the case justi
fied and took it as a matter of course.
Dr. John J. Sellwood, major com
manding 363d field hospital and 361et
infantry medical detachment Wat
ion's charges are rot. I don't know
what happened In the south of France
but no hangings or killings ever took
place where I was. I heard two men
were hanged for a despicable 'crime.
If they committed such a crime as re
ported they should have been hanged.
Harry N. Nelson, sergeant with
classification camp at St. Aignan, and
acting state adjutant of the American
Legion I eaw two hangings at St.
Aignan. Both were negroes and they
had been tried by courts-martial and
convicted - of unspeakable crimes.
They deserved the fate they received
and before their executions warned
other soldiers against such acts as
theirs. .The soldiers who knew of
these executions bad no sympathy
with the victims. I heard of other
hangings but all seemed to be justi
fied. I have no use for Senator Wat
son or his charges.
Watson Held Fourflusher.
Edward J. Elvers, captain 162d in
fantry and former state adjutant of
the-American Legion Watson is the
greatest fourflueher in the United
(states. His charges are without
foundation and are not being sub
stantiated. For two years I served
on courtmartlal boards In France and
every man accused of a crime was
given a just trial. Watson a short
time ago disgraced himself 'by mak
ing serious charges against our
nurses In France.
Edward C. Sammons, lieutenant
colonel and division inspector of the
85th division The charges of Watson
are silly, idiotic and unjustifiable. An
effort is being made to prove charges,
which in my Judgment, are the most
serious that could be made against
the American expeditionary force.
Watson is endeavoring to prove these
charges through the statements of
crazy, imple-mlnded and illiterate
men. The charges are being made
for political reasons.
S. R. Payne, private 363d infantry
and disabled veteran Watson is off
on the wrong track. I saw nothing
of the character of the charges that
have been made, during my service in
France. I liked my officers and re
spected them.
Politics, Declares One.
G. V. Hastings, sergeant 16th com
pany 5th regiment of marines and
disabled veteran I cannot see how
Senator Watson's charges can be true.
I was IS months in France and never
heard anything to indicate that such
things were going on. If there were
any truth in the charges word would
have been passed around and the
entire organization would, have known
about them. Men who disobey orders
at the front deserve to be shot. There
no courts-martial can be held, for the
time demands prompt action. Watson
is talking for political effect, but is
insulting every self-respecting man
who served in France.
John E. Cuniff private, A company,
147th field artillery Watson is prob
ably sincere, but he is crazy. - His
charges are those that could come
only from a diseased mind. I never
aw anything or heard anything to
Indicate that such acts were going on.
-1 do not believe there is any truth in
the charges.
William N. Beveridge, sergeant, 65th
field artillery and member of the
executive committee of the American
Legion The red-blooded men of the
senate should have risen and smashed
Watson in the face when he made hit
Charge against the American expedi
tionary force. His statements re
gardins the Red Cross nurses made
several weeks ago were too vile for
any decent man to make. His charges
are founded upon lies and the rank
and file of the veterans do not be
lieve them.
Charges Held Groundless.
James Alexander, captain. 162d In
fantry I was at St Aignan when two
negroes were hung. They had been
tried and convicted of offenses against
women in France. They deserved no
kindlier fate than they received. I
never heard of any of the stuff Wat
son has charged and I believe it is
all false. I can realize how shoot
ings might have taken place at the
front where men disobeyed orders or
deliberately exposed their comrades
to danger from the enemy.
James J. Crossley, major, with 42d
division and with the judge-advocate-general's
department, commander of
Portland post of the American Legion
I do not believe the charges made
by Tom Watson. The charges that
men were hanged without just trial
are false. Many of the men who
dia commit crimes against women es
caped with prison sentences, when,, to
my way of thinking, they should have
been hanged. We criticised the Ger
mans for their crimes against women
in France and Belgium and our own
men who committed such crimes
should have been hanged.
Wartaon Believed Crasy.
Glenn H. Ticer, first lieutenant
364th infantry, now chairman of the
American Legion employment com
mittee "I do not believe Watson's
charges and think the man is crazy,
There were cases where shootings
were justified at the front. In the
hearing in Washington a few days
ago a Major Opie was charged wun
having shot a man who went for a
drink of water against orders. These
charges were denied by a number of
men In Opie s command. In a case
where the man would expose his com
rades to the enemy by deliberately
going after water or anything else he
should be shot. . There is no time for
eourtmartials at the front. An of
ficer who would show cowardice be
fore his men should be shot by those
same men. The morale of the army
demands that form of Justice. One
man showing cowardice and retreat
ing might start an entire company,
form a hole In the line end sacrif'ce
hundreds of his comrades."
Lane Goodell, captain lztn. ne-ia ar
tillery, 2d division and state com
mander of the American Legion
Where 2. 000. 000 men are assembled
there will always be murderers and
degenerates. When these men com
mit crimes they should be hanged or
shot. In my two years' experience in
France I never saw anyone punished
without due cause and there were
many who should have been punished
but escaped. I do not believe Senator
Watson's charges. I think that they
are un-American."
Officer "Killed In Action."
A veteran who prefers that his
name be not made public relates this
incident to prove a case where shoot
ing was justified:
"I was a member of a platoon or a
certain company when we were in
hiding within a few rods of the Ger-
an lines one night at tne front.
We were in command of an officer
who had been sent to us just a few
lavs before. Orders were that there
ahould be no lights because even the
lighting of a match might betray our
position to the enemy and cause the
52 of us who were in mains io oa
wined Out bv the flro of the enemy.
Our officer rose ana aeiiDeraieiy
lighted a match. Before he could put
the match to his cigarette 47 bullets
from the rifles of the men or my
platoon entered his body. The men
were Justified In shooting the offi
cer, for he had deliberate- disobeyed
orders and exposed his men to enemy
fire. The war department records
show that this man was killed in
action."

KEPORTS ON WORK.
10,000 Destructive Birds and Ro
dents Declared Eliminated
by Ashwale Hnnters.
More than 10,000 destructive birds
and rodent pests have been destroyed,
and a programme of education for
the protection ot birds of value to
agriculture ' has been conducted
throughout Linn county as a result
of the 14 years' existence of the Ash
wale Hunt club, according to a re
port on club activities issued.
Since the formation of the club in
1907 an annual hunt has been con
ducted each Winter in which the club
members have been divided into
opposing groups. The side scoring
the largest number of points in the
hunt is banqueted by the losing side.
The number of pests which have
been destroyed each year ranged from
198. which was the lowest figure, to
a total of 3282, the number killed In
1921. The records of the organization
show that more mice have been killed
than any other pest. Following in
rder have been rats. Jack rabbits and
digger squirrels.
The original promoters of the for
mation of the club were Charles Carl
son. H. C. Poland, W. W. Poland and
p. I. Troutman. The club was first
started as the result of a gathering
held at the Ashwale school in the fall
of 1907 and immediately following
that the first annual hunt was held.
A constitution and by-laws were
adopted in the winter of 1908-1909
specifying the objects of the club.
Charles Carlson was elected the
first president and has held that of
fice ever since. W. W. Poland has
been secretary-treasurer for many
years also. Not only has the organi
zation been of Importance in keeping
the community free from rodents, but
it has also built up a community fel
lowship at the annual banquet.
Sneak Thief Steals Clothes.
While John Aorman was absent
from his room at the Portola. hotel
yesterday some sneak thief entered
by use of a pass key and appropriated
a considerable quantity of clothing,
he reported to the police. A coat
taken by the thief contained several
valuable papers, he said.

INDIGESTION
an
20-lSsk
Is house bill No. 21, enacted at the
special session of the legislature for
the purpose of placing all vehicles,
operated on state highways for com
pensatlon, under the supervision of
the public service commission, so
drawn as to prevent the use of state
highways by. this class of motor
vehicles?
This question arose after attorneys
for a number of bond and insurance
companies examined . the law and
held that the bill calls for conditions
so Indefinite as to make it impossible
to provide bonds or liability insur
ance required under the act.
Attorney-General Concurs.
In this attitude, it Is reported, the
attorney-general's office, in an in
formal report, concurs, although there
are a number" of attorneys who, after
examining the bill, believe that the
conditions of liability which must be
met by the operators of the vehicles.
or .their bondsmen, can be fixed by
tne puolic service commission within
the purvue of the act.
Stage operators and men operating
for-hire cars met in executive session
esterday for the purpose of discus
sing the situation that has arisen.
Information that refutable bond
houses and Insurance companies
woum not give insurance ajcains
liability, unless the attorney-general
ruiea mat tne liability required could
be defined clearly by the public serv
ice commission, was discussed.
Favorable Opinion Desired.
staff who were analyzing the bill
were re-portea at being hopeful that a
rullnST nntllH h m.Ha that wniilil
carry out the intent of the legislation
unaer discussion. .
The Question that ha arisen 1 over
the wording of Section 6. In this sec
tion, the public service commission
m given numoniy to iix tne penal
sum of the bonds or liability insur
ance to cover personal injuries or
property damage throug-h the negli
gence of the operators of the vehicles
operating on state highways for com
pensation. Crnx of Arjcument Shown.
The portion of the section which
reads, "which surety bond or liability
insurance shall bind the obligors
thereunder to make compensation for
injuries to persons and loss of or
damage to property resulting from
the operation of such vehicles" is the
crux of the argument which has
arisen.
This particular part of the section,
according to some of the attorneys,
creates such a broad field of liability
that it would be impossible to com
pute rates for coverage, while on the
other hand other attorneys maintain
that the section simply calls for lia
bility for Injuries to persons or prop
erty loss resulting from the negli
gence of operators of vehicles under
the conditions of this particular act.
Intent of Legislature Clear.
"There is absolutely no reason to
believe that this act precludes the use
of highways to vehicles operating for
compensation," said J. B. Kerr, prom
inent attorney, last night. "The in
tent of the legislature, as expressed
in this act, is clear, and the power
to define the limits of liability is con
ferred upon the public service com
mission. That's all there is to it."
Despite this assurance, however, it
is reported that the men who are
operating sightseeing cars, passenger
and freight carriers and for-hire cars
are alarmed and are waiting for a
constuctlon on the law which will
make it possible for them to get the
nocessary bonds or insurance.
NEWBERRY VOTE OPPOSED
Senator Jones Urged to Fight Re
tention of Michigan Man.
PUYALLUP. Wash., Jan. 7. (Spe
cial.) W. H. Paulhamus, ex-senator
of the Puyallup valley, who has been
one of Senator Jones' most loyal sup
porters from the time the senator was
first nominated for congress, has ent
the following telegram, to Senator
Jones at Washington, D. C:
"Would regret exceedingly to find
your vote register as favoring re
tention of Senator Newberry. You
had same kind of fight to contend
with, and you are in the United
States senate today only because the
state of Washington contained more
unpurchaseable votes than otherwise.
Poesibly you would have lost had
the old man expended $263,000 In
stead of about half that amount.
Unrefuted testimony shows Newberry
family alone spent fully $200,000.
Newberry's excuse that he knew nothi
lng of this expenditure is no defense.
If $200,000 were expended Newberry
1." disqualified. Our people have lm
plicu confidence in your honesty of
purpose. You voted right when
Stevenson of Wisconsin was under
investigation. Conditions are same
now. Urn vou to ake active stand
in favor of giving poor man equal
opportunity with rich man to become
United States senator. Sometimes
warm-heartedness may mellow best
Judgment. I am hopeful you will
stand as always."
It is understood other friends of
Senator Jones have sent similar tele
grams.
HOME FOR ADDICTS URGED
WORLD EFFORT TO EXD DRUG
EVIL SUGGESTED.
Bureau to , Take Charge of Sales
Until Afflicted Are Cared For
Outlined at Civic Ijuncheon.
The establishment of a state in
stitution for the cure of drug addicts
in a scientific manner was advocated
by Dr. George Parrish, city health
officer, in an address at the luncheon
of the Civfb league at the Benson
hotel yesterday. Dr. Parrish said the
recommendation was the same as that
made to city and state officials. .
The speaker urged that the author
ities conduct a bureau to take charge
of the sale of drug to addicts to
relieve their suffering until such time
as they could be permanently cured.
William F. Woodward urged for co
operation among the nations of the
world for putting an end to the drug
naDit. He declared that half tne rev
enues derived by the British govern
ment from the orient was the result
of the sale of drugs manufactured
from poppies raised with the finan
cial co-operation of that government.
He aleo declared that the Japanese
were manufacturing hypodermic out
fits to a larger extent even than
America. Many of these, he said, were
sent to America and sold to drug
addicts.
Lester Humphreys, United States
attorney, who spoke, exhibited a pack
age of cocaine containing enough of
the drug to bring $38,700 if sold at
the customary price. This was one
of several which had recently been
taken from vendors of the drug, he
said.
Mr. Humphreys estimated that there
were more than 1000 drug addicts in
Portland. He said the care of the
drug habit lies largely with the will,
and the difficulty was due to the
fact that the drug operates to destroy
the will.
W. J. Herwig. state superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon league, and Dr.
Clarence True Wilson, general secre
tary of the temperance board of the
Methodist Episcopal church, washing-
ton, r. C. both expressed the belief
that the drug habit could be stamped
out just as other things affecting
public morals had been abolished.
COLONEL LEADER SUES
AUSTRALIAN1 NEWSPAPER IS
ACCUSED OF LIBEL.
Article Declaring ex-Military In
structor Did Not Participate
In War Rouses Lecturer.
News that . Colonel John Leader,
veteran of the world war and former
military instructor at the University
of Oregon who is now on a lecture
tour of .Australia and New Zealand
has instigates a libel suit for 10,000
pounds against the Smith Weekly, an
Australian newspaper, has been re
ceived by Mrs. Leader, who is in
Portland and is at present the guest
of Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, 1064
Thurman street.
Colonel Leader left for the South
seas last fall and has been lecturing
in Australia and New Zealand under
the auspices of the Ellison-White
Chautauqua. The newspaper, accord
ing to word received by Mrs. Leader,
published an article charging that
Colonel Leader had never been a
soldier or served overseas and was
otherwise fraudulent.
Colonel Leader, as an officer in
the British army, was severely
wounded and gassed in an early
engagement of the war and was in
valided to the United States and
assigned as military instructor at
the University of Oregon. After the
war he went Into the importing and
exporting business in Portland with
associates.
In his letter to Mrs. Leader,
Colonel Leader stated that his lec
ture tour had been slightly inter.
rupted by the - case, and that he
might cable for further funds to
carry on the case. The fact that he
has not done so is an indication,
Mr 8. Leader believes, that the' case
has been settled in some way.

10-YEAR SEWTEriaCE
PASSED ON WDMAH
Mrs. Wurtzbarger Pleads
Guilty of Slaying Mate.
CHANGE IN PLEA-SURPRISE
Penalty Announced Following
Chemawa Woman's Admission of
Voluntary Manslaughter.
A sentence of 10 years in prison
was passed upon Mrs. Alma Wurtz
barger in federal court yesterday
when she changed a former plea of
not guilty of first degree murder to
guilty of voluntary manslaughter In
the killing of her husband. Andrew
J. Wurtzbarger, at the Chemawa In
dian school on September 4. The
plea cam3 as a distinct surprise in
light of the fact that Mrs. Wurtz
barger had repeatedly advanced
stories of threats to kill and brutal
abuse on the part of her husband.
Federal Judge Bean, in passing
sentence, gave the maximum possible
for manslaughter and the minimum
for second degree murder. He de
clared, in a brief statement following
the close of statements by counsel,
that the legal aspect of the case
clearly resembled second degree mur
der in that no- struggle had taken
place and no altercation arisen Imme
diately before the fatal blow was
struck.
Prison at Salem Preferred.
Under the sentence . Mrs. Wurtz
barger must serve her term in a
prison to be designated by the attorney-general.
Her own request Is that
she be sent to Salem.
The murder occurred In a small
cottage on the Chemawa Indian farm
early in the morning of September 4.
Mrs. Wurtzbarger entered the room
where he husband lay sleeping and
killed him with blows from a heavy
hammer. She summoned a young
nephew who bad been sleeping In an
other room and fled to Salem, where
she gave herself up and confessed the
deed.
Mrs. Wurtzbarger has consistently
tefused to show any signs of re
morse for the deed. She related
stories of -the brutality of the hus
band and asserted he had inflicted
bodily injuries upon her and placed
her in fear of her life.
Brutalities Are Recounted.
United States Attorney Humphreys,
In reviewing the case before the
court, told of Wurtzbarger's brutali
ties and mentioned the night of the
killing. as one time on which the hus
band had mistreated his wife.
Bert Haney and John Collier,, de
fense attorneys, declared tnat Wurtz
barger's cruelties had dated from his
marriage to the woman in May, 1921.
Mrs. Wurtzbarger had been married
thre times previous to her marriage
to Wurtzbarger. The first husband
died. The second marriage resulted
in a divorce, reconciliation and a
second marriage and divorce. Wurtz
barger would not allow ber to see
her two children by a second mar
riage, her attorneys brought out.
Owing to the fact that the killing
took place on government ground the
case was found to be within the juris
diction of the federal courts rather
than those of Marion county.
Husband Declared Pro-German.
GRANTS PASS. Or., Jan. 7. (Spe
cial.) Because her husband drank
cream, and then placed padlocks, on
the cans so that she and her daughter
could not have any, Mrs. E,thel Allen
Strahm Is suing her husband for a
divorce. She also alleges that her
husband Is a pro-German, has used
vile language towards her and em
ploys a systematic course of cruel
and inhuman treatment. The couple
were married January 22, 1920. Mrs.
Strahm has a daughter 11 years old,
by a former marriage.

Piles Cured to Stay Cured

Dr. Dean is well known through
out the northwest, having been lo

for the last nine years he has been
treating piles and other rectal con
ditions by his mild, non - surgical
methods.

A simple method perfected by Dr. Charles J. Dean
of rortland, Or., brings immediate renei ana quicK,
permanent healing.
No Form of Surgery Used
Cutting, Burning:, Clamps, Stitches, Ligatures and other
sometimes dangerous and disagreeable features of Old
Systems are done away with.
No Confinement to Bed or
to the House
There is no hospital bill to pay. no anesthetic, no nausea
and post-operative vomiting, no shock or danger. Patients
go about their usual dally occupations while undergoing treat,
ment.
Any sufferer from rectal disease can obtain Immediate
relief and a quick and permanent cure through the simple
method perfected bv Dr. Chas. J. Dean of Portland, Or. No
surgery Is used in the Dean method for piles and a few mild,
virtually painless treatments end the trouble for good.
The patient is not put to bed. He need not even stay In
his room. On the contrary, while undergoing treatment he
may go about and do as he pleases. There is no loss of time,
no hospital bill to pay, no pain and suffering as after a
surgical operation and the results are permanent. 64.4 per
cent of all cases of piles operated upon surgically reoccur la
from two to four years.
No Knife, Clamp, Burning, Etc.
In the Dean method of curing piles no form of surgery
is used. Cutting, burning, clomps, cautery, stitches, ligatures,
etc., are done away with. The patient takes no anesthetic
and has no disagreeable after-effects such as follow surgical
operations. The treatments are rapid, gentle and soothing
and in the majority of cases a cure is obtained in from ten
days to two weeks.
In cases of prolapsing or protruding piles, no matter of
protrusion is absolutely done awav with following the first
hours, and from then on until the treatment is finished the

Chronic Sufferers Dumfounded
I have patients come to me who have suffered for from twenty to thirty years, some who havs
been operated on as much as three times and who have had their piles reoccur following each
operation, who have used every type and kind of suppository, salve and lotion that their friends
could suggest, until they finally become despondent and feel that nothing can be- done for them.
When they come to me their concern is one of wondering
can anything be done for them. Within three or four days
their concern has changed from wondering "can they be

I cannot underwrite a patient's future health, due to the F ' ', "1
fact that when thev leave mv nfficA r have no wav nf know- . ;l vl.J
lng what their method of living is, what they are doing or I
anything about them, and hence I cannot say that their
piles will never reoccur, but I can say this, that I have been f
treating piles by my non-surgical methods for nine years
and during that time I have never had a case reoccur, and
what is more, as a protection against any reoccurence, I give
a guarantee in writing that if your piles ever do reoccur I '
will treat you free of any cost. . ,
In short there is not an objectionable feature about the
treatment. I have spent several years studying and per- .
fectinp my methods until today my mild non-surgical method t
of treating piles Is free from pain, dangers, delays and the
expense that go with other systems. The result is what is 1

Other Conditions Associated With
and Due to Piles.
Due to the elaborate and complex nerve distribution In
the lower end of the rectum, the Beat of pile tumors, the
number of reflex nerve disturbances in other parts of the
body are eo numerous that It Is Impossible to enumerate
them here, but as an example, I will cite two cases recently
treated.
Mr. A Portland insurance man suffered with epileptiform
attacks for the past ten years. Had on an average of three
attacks a week. Developed acute case of piles in June and
came to me for treatment. Has had but one epileptiform
attack since and that during a time when he was compelled
to discontinue treatment due to business deal.
Mrs. B Suffered with piles for 40 years, also what was
diagnosed as a neuritis of the arms and legs which caused
her untold suffering when on her feet for any length ot
time. Neuritis completely disappeared within one week
from the beginning of her pile treatment.
Rectal Examinations.
How often were you ever given a rectal examination, much
less an examination of your colon? And do you know that
fully 40 per cent of all chronic, obscure bodily ailments are
directly due to diseased or abnormal conditions of the rec
tum and colon?
In your lodge examination, your Insurance examinations,
etc., your heart, lungs, chest, abdomen, mouth, tonsils, eyes,
etc., are all examined, but not your rectum. If, by chance,
some doctor 'does happen to examine the rectum It merely
consists of an ocular inspection of the external opening or at
best the insertion of a finger.
I am equipped to thoroughly examine both the colon and
the rectum and to apply treatment directly to the parts
affected, and It Is only by such examinations that the truo
cause of constipation, piles, etc., can bo arrived at and
properly treated.
There Is Danger in Neglect
There is unsuspected danger in rectal diseases. Hidden
from sight they gradually become worse, they never recede
but temporarily. Many" of the weaknesses anil ailments,
especially backache so common in women, can often be
traced directly to piles and removed by curing the piles
because of the direct connection of the rectal nerves with
those of the other organs.
Cost of Treatment
Considered from the standpoint of health, from the In
creased earning power of the individual cured of piles, from
the standpoint of suffering done away with and wrecked
nervous systems returned to normal tone, the cost is In
significant. If you are suffering with piles, come in and I will examine
you and tell you Just what your condition is and what 1
can do for you. For this service I will not charee you any
thing If you desire to be rid of your piles, I will make you
a fixed fee for a complete removal of your trouble and to
KU.M1NATE AlAj DOUBT AS TO THE RESULTS THAT 1
WILL, GIVE YOU. I WILL AGREE TO REFUND YOUK FEE
IF I FALL TO CURE YOUR PILES.
