STLVAB JOE PALMER OPEBS MAT THOSE APFLIOTED WITH LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA BEAD THIS: The facts stated below can bo verified by hundreds of people living la uiy immeiliste neighborhood, where I have resided ell my life, 6301 Halsted St., corner 63<l, Chicago. I contracted that dreadful disease. Locomotor Ataxia, during the year 1693. At no time since I was stricken have I been able to get around without the aid of cane and crutch, and a great deal of the time I have been wheeled in an Invalid chair. I bare treated with a great number of noted specialists on this disease, spent months at different springs, snd all without any results. I certainly gave up all hopes. Bow- ever, I was advised to try the Cool System of treatment at 185 Dearltum St. Suite 81KI. After taking this treatment for three months I cannot only walk without the aid of cane or crutch, bnt I can run. All those unfortunates who have this dreadful disease Investigate this. (Hlgned) WM.
