NFESSION.

r THE SUBSCRIBER, publicly confess that
Il o have been afflicted with 4 SECRET DISEASE ever
since 1928; had thirteen eminent physicians whose
names are recorded at the French Medical House;
some Of them abated the disease, but it always re-
turned worse than before, until it carried away both
sides Of my threat and pierced the top of the palate.
also lost several bones Of my and was almost
blind Of an eve, and my face was covered with an
Immense quantity of scabs, between which the skin
was as red scarlet, and | was indeed in most de-
Dlorabo condition, so much that the learned pro-
ies;or S. pronounced me incurabe. 1t was obvious
to me- then that common doctor could not extri-
cate me from the Jaws of death-for they all follow
the same old roc, with their train of mercury, mix
lures or pills, invented by ignorance and continued
bv cupidity and do no good to any but the velderS
Several persons recommended the French Doctor
of the Medical House, l6 South FREDERICK

complaints. went to him and he pledged himself
to cure me on written guaranty, and he furnished
me with room in his house, he generally does
with strangers, at no cure pay. | did not hest
tate at ALL Oh seeing so many lkenesses of patients
who are living evidences Of the many wonderful
cures he has performed III almost every kind of dis
ease. Then he had my daguerreotype likeness tax
en- and took his medicine for about year, which
completely cured me. He had then my other like
ness taken, and both are to be seen at his office.
this meets the eye of some Wretched being in the
grasp of death, as was, let him fly to this praise
worthy phanthropist, whose deep knowledge of the
vital principles which animate and move the human
frame, are known in both hemispheres; and l be-
lieye from my very soul (not forgetting that am Oh
oath) that his exquisite genius will discover as many
new and well appropriated remedies, as new dis
