CONFESSION,

7 THE SUBSCRIBER, publicly confess that ]
H. +, have been afflicted with SECRET DISEASE ever
since 1923; 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 throat and pierced the top OF the palate
II also lost several bones ofmy nose and was almost
blind of an eye 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-
plorabe condition. so much SO that the learned pro-

by cupidity and do good to any but the Uenders.
Several persons recommended the French Doctor

with strangers, at no cure pay. did not hest

who are living evidences of the many wonderful
cures he has performed in 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 at his office. If
this meets the eye of some wretched being in the
grasp of DEATH as was, let him fly to this praise

vital principles which animate and move the human
frame, are known in both hemispheres; and [ be-
