shout Sydney in the last eight months? All!
say 'h+y, these weI" desperate cases-no doc
tor could have cured them; doctors cannot
save life. and a variety of such adroitl con.
tr'ved and far-fotched EXCUSES are pui forth.
But how is 1t That none of these desperate
cases ever fall to my lot: The answer Is oh.
vious: The doctors and their quilted friends
and understroppers wish TO have the idea su.
perinduced among the people that am a
mere quack, that my medicines ore poisono,,s
aud deadly, that those few that die are killed
by them, and those that are cured, little or
nothing allied them.
There are four Of the NJ. ID. fraternity in
this town, and think, in the last 3 months,
have attended as many patients US all of them
Only three Of mine hnve died cannot give
the number Of deaths ~ their practice, but |
think ] may venture Ia say dozens. Even
fcvers, whoOping cough, bowel cOmplaint and
snch like, are common causes of death in this
place, when the regular treatment is employ.
ed. Since my adoption of the Botanic Prac-
tice, have not lost single patient with fe-
yer flux, summer complaint, hepatitis. childbed
&c; and my practice has been quite cxtcn-
sve in all these. In the last five years,
have lost by dcnth, one with phrenitis or in
hammaion of the brain, one with infamma-
ton Of The lungs, connected with abortion;
one with absccss on the lungs, connected
with what is familarly called the turn Of life; /;
one Of ascitcs, from whom were taken l2 eul-
Ions OF water. These arc all the cases Of
death in my practice since ] adopted the re-
formed or Botanic Practice. speak of re-
cent attacks and other cases in which gave
my encouragement that any radical or even
any considerable amount of partial sanative
effect could be accomplished.
My enemies in this place have even talked
of prosecuting me; but ] have never yet en-.
'tertained the slightest hope that they would
do so. They know better: it is more than
they dare do. really wish they would. If
knew how to provoke them to it, would
rejoice; and then would give them dose,
the nauseating effects Of which would by far
exceed dose of lobelia.
Mrs. Ilinklc, near Sydney, suffered with
running and extremely painful sore leg for
near dozen years; she sought medical aid
at the hand of the NJ. Ds. but all in vain. |
cured il sound and well in few weeks
This is quite perpleXing and humiliating to
their pride.
A lady of this place had failed to menstrli-
ate for two years, on account OF sloughing
and consequent adhesion Of the sides of the
vagina almost its full extent By a surgical
operation and Botanic treatment, she has
since enjoyed good health.
A young lady, laboring under protrncted
suppression Of menstruation, was remedied
by me in few weeks; she is now in fair
way to get entirely WELL
A little boy with quite singular spasms,
cured in few weeks. During his wakeful
hours, he would be seized with kind of ner-
vous spasm, clenching suddenly his hands
and drawing both hands to his breast or body,
he would sit in shaking or couvulsivc trem-
bling for minute or two; during the parox-
ysm his sinews would be unimpaired he
would see and hear and afterwards tell all
that passed. The interval between the spasms
varied from three 10 fifteen minutes; occa-
sionally longer. The treatment was in per.
feet accordance with the new Botanic Sys-
TEN. | could give you number such des-
perate and some almost hopeless cases but
let this suffice at present.
Respectfully yours,
S. MILTON.
Sydney. Ohio, Nay 22, 1887.
