S AWATURAL CONSEQUENCE, Omaha Has Ope of the Greatest M feal titutes on the Amerlcan Con« tinent, er in its history hus the Omaha nd S I Institute nad so many patientsin its the sutisfuction thoso who patronize it speaks well for its future wellfare. The reason that this great institute has become even more popular in the last year than ever is that the gentleman now at the head is a man in whom cveryone hus implicit con- fidence, gentleman is none other than Dr. A.T. MeLaughlin, thepresident und physician in charge, 'Those who do not know Dr. MeLaughlan porsonally d ving consider his success almost phenomina but his intimate friends have expected nothing elso from him and do not con- sider his success at all phenominal, but characteristic of the docf He is a gentlemen and physician in overy sense of the wordand his reputation is spread- ing far and near. He has placed the Omaha Medical and Surgical Institute a solid basis und 1t is known tod 5 on one of the very hest and largest medical institutes in the United States, In fact there is no institute in the t to compare with it. Dr. McLaughlin's institute has been long established, as everybod, upon visiting it now you v better equipped than‘everin its histor) Its departments are all incomplete order and the advertisements which the doctor has caused to be inserted in T B from time to time have under estimated rather than exaggerated their facilit for the treatment of patients. The insti tute is fully equipped with the most owerful electric batteries, conveniences or administering hot, medicated and electric baths, as also complete ap- paratus for massage treatment. They manufacture braces for every kind of de- form ty andthe superiority of these braces over those made elsowlere is demon- strated by the fact that Dr. McLaughlin frequently treats with perfect suscess cases of deformity which other methods of treatment for” years had but little benefitted, Dr. ‘McLaughlin has re- cently put in many differcnt machines, invenfed by himsélf, for the treatment of deformities, paralysis and other ner- vous diseases, among which are the “suspension rack” for the cuve of spinal troubles, which gives relief at its first application; and the motion apparatus for the development of weak muscles, ete. Dr. McLaughlin employs only tho most skilled physicians and surgeons and places at their disposal every in- strument of worth for examination and and treatment of patients known to med- ical science. Dr. MeLaughlin has just fssued a valuable pamphiet which ho mails free to those who send for it, and it will tell more ubout this great insti- tute. The people of Omahaand Nebraska are proud of Dr, McLaughlin and his in- stitute and feel convinced that the Omaha Medical and Surgical Tustitute is the place to which the sick and suffer- ing should cowme for ef, —— Cooking School. As soon a8 Prof. Plau has found a de- sirable location he will open his school, He comes to Omaha with unquestion- able references and he promises the lu- dies arare treat in regard to instruc- tions in cooking, which he gives.
