THE CHIORTDF OF GOLD

For Primary Syphilis. How long have the
medical profession tried in vain to discover some
the-reputicaI agent that could be relied upon TO
cure disease more to be dreaded than all others
combined. Some Quack Doctors advertise TO cure
venereal diseases without the use of mercury
But their statements are false. We have taken
pains TO collect the receipts of some who make
great noise, and We find that they use the To-
dine OF Mercury for everything, whether it is
proper or not, and since we find them misrepre-
senting in this particular, we have reason to sus-
pect them and I'D omne genus in all their pre-
tensions.
Gentlemen, there never was a remedy capable
of curing the disease without mercury. until the
discovery of the Chloride of Gold, and we submit
it to the test, having thoroughly tried it, and
know it to possess all the qualities attributed to it.
DR.. Christian says:-The Chloride of Gold is
capable of curing Syphalis under all its forms,
and that in its general operations on the system,
it possesses many advantages over mercury. 1t
is efficacious, vet gentle 1t may be administered
with perfect safety at all seasons Of the year. and
under any complication of the disease. Persons
of either sex may be put upOnit with equal safe
ty the only caution enioined is strict temperance.
In other respects the patient Is not required to
change his mode of living.
DR.. Samuel L. Mitchell, the distinguished sur
geOn of New York, speaks IN the following words:
The Chloride of Gold possesses admirable viz

der the operation Of the medicine, with incom-
parably less inconvenience, without the hazard
of a sore mouth or salvation, and with very lit
tie wear and tear of the constitution. L consider
the introduction of this preparation in common
use, as one of the greatest improvements in mod
ern medicine, and wish it was already as uni
versal as the malady it cures.
Other distinguished members of the medical
profession have given testimony of the great val
ue of the remedy, the statements of whom we
have in our possession.
Gentlemen we shall be glad to see you at any
time-we are always prepared to attend to your
wants.
The above remedy will be sent to any persons

All Diseases of the Eye Cured with unfaiI-
ing certainty.
DR.. W. A. SNYDER. Dentist

DIR. W. A. SNYDER, Oculist.
nR. W. A. SNYDER'S mode of treating disea-
~ ses of the Eye differs materially from the
course commonly pursued by Physicians. Be-
lieving that most diseases of the Eye have their
origin in obstructed circulation or an impure
state OF the system, his remedies will be pre-
scribed with reference to the disease with which
the patient may be afflicted; and by equalizing
the circulation, removing obstruction and restor
ing the general health of the patient, the Eyes
may be permanently cured without the use of
costic or any of the irritating applications in
general use. DIR. S. would say to those who have
exhausted the skill of all Others without relief,
not to despair of cure without giving him a
trial. for in all cases where vision is not entirely
lost, or the Eye not completely disorganized there
is still hope.
