If the reader is afflicted with Fistula, Piles, or
Strictures, we would ask, has ke ever heard of the
late Martin Van Butchell, who used to treat these
complaints in a way peculiar to himself; and to
effect cures almost universally without having re-
course to either Cutting, Caustic, or Confinement,
which is the usual practice ? We find his son D.
D. Van Butchell, surgeon, aecoucher, who resides
at No. 48, South-street, Berkeley-square, continues
to perform cures of the must dangerous cases by the
same method, and is us completely successful.—
Both rich and poor, who are thus afflicted, will do
well to observe he requires no remuneration until
they are satisfied a cure has been performed ; in
fact, the poor are relieved gratis if respectably
recommended.
