dulgonce, infection, or the effects of climate.
DR. DAVIS, author of the " Mirror of Health,"

pool, Consulting Surgeon, established 1830.

Dr. D. having had extensive practice for many years and devOtEd
his attention solely to the cure of nervous debility and diseases arisirg
from ircpruclence or excess, also that numerous class of disorder
caused by residence in hot climates, sedentary habits, &c., he )
discovered medicines by which he can guarantee as a certain cure In
an increditable short time, the wont cases that have baffled the most
skilful practitioners. ft

The following advantages are derived from his new discoTerteli,
viz , a safe and more speedy cure, no danger from exposure, and pat-
ties using them need not be under any fear of detection from the
nearest friends, and without any material restraint in diet, or other:
inconvenience.

Dr. DAvis is the cnly qualified practitioner who is in possession t
these invale able remedies, which, combined with his eztensive practice
and acknowledged skfll, must prove that he is a medical man to whom
the afflicted can apply with safety and certainty of cure. His recent
discoveries are found to surpass all other known remedies.
Dr. D. having been more than 29 years in practice, deems it his
duty to caution the afflicted against placing themselves under the
sire of young and inexperienced oiractitioners, he having witnessed
serious consequences from the folly of so doirg.
