CONFESSION.

THE SUBSCRIBER, publicly confess that |
have been afflicted with a 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 carried away both
sides OF my throat and pierced the top of the palate
also lost several bones of my nose and was almost
blind or 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-
lessor S. pronounced me incurable. 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 rote, with their train of mercury mix
lures pills, invented by ignorance and continued
by cupdity, and do no good to any but the uerders
Several persons recommended the French Doctor
of the Medical House, 16 South FREDERICK
ST., as d scientific man and rare genius in those
complaints went to him and he pledged himself
to cure me on written guaranty, and he furnished
me with in his house, as he generally does
with strangers, at no pay. | did not hest
tate at all, on seeing many Licensees of patients
who are living evidences of the many wonderful
cures he has performed in almost every kind of dis
ease. Then ne 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 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
worthy philanthropist, whose deep knowledge ofthe
vital principles which animate and move the human
frame, are known in both hemispheres; and be-
eve from my very soul (not forgetting that am on
oath) that his exquisite genius will discover as many
new and well appropriated remedies, as new dis
eases may be formed. HENRY Drummer.

never be satisfied unless she is loved to
