SECRET MALADIES.

?A Of Paris, Professor of Pharmacy, Apothecary to the Hospitals of
Professor of Medicine, and honoured with several Medals and
rewards. No. 21, Rue Montorgeull, Paris.
Zreberless and well-authenicatedl cases which hitherto had been
147idered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time
14
Itiven way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of
• ,;:I)eriority over every other means as yet employed.. t was for
Period St time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure
ful '4tred to all constitutions, and which should be free from tho bane-
brol; Geta of mercury. We are now arrived at the solution of this
bY the discovery any ode of t, eatment at once simple and
to 1, and which, without egree of exaggeration, we can affirm
1•
41!Lfellible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate
• ..ng standing. The method of cure, according to Dr. Albert, is
10reical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the
ktl Inyttesall derangement to tho general health, and safe in all seasons
climates.
