Creates Great Deal of Interest in Court at Somerset. Quite a number of Lincoln county people have been treated by the so called colored doctor of Somerset and much interest has attached to the suit by the State Board of Health to force him to quit business. Great crowds attended the trial at Som erset last week. The Somerset Com monwealth said of the trial: An in junction is being asked, by the rep resentatives of the commonwealth to prevent Dr. Anderson from continu ing the practice of medicine and the treatment of patients at his sanita rium at Ferguson in this county. Dr. McCormack, the head of the State Board of Health is prosecuting the case in the name of the common wealth and has as his counsel the Commonwealth’s Attorney Walter N. Flippin, (whose duty it is to prose cute the case) and Attorney McNutt of Rockwood, Tenn., who was instru mental in forcing Dr. Anderson to discontinue the practice of treating patients in the state of Tennessee. Dr. Anderson claims to be an In dian and treats his patients with the herbs and roots of the forests and field which he claims are nature’s original remedies. From evidence introduced by the defense Dr. Anderson surely must be able to accomplish results as some of the best people of Pulaski coun ty testified to having been cured by his treatments after the failure of all other doctors and medicines, some having traveled over different parts of the country to consult with spe cialists and take health resort treat ment. Chiefly among this class was Attorney O. H. Waddle, who is de fending Dr. Anderson in this case, he having visited New York in search of a specialist who might be able to of fer him a remedy whereby he might gain relief, finally tried Dr. Ander son and he is now almost fully re stored to health and vigor at the ad vanced age of 65 years.
