SYPHILIS AND GoNoREmGA.-Dr L. J. Czapkay
- would ask especial attention to syphlitic and
gonorrhGal diseases. In the first stages of these
complaints he guarantees n perfect and efiectual
cure in few days without hndrance to business or
the slightest Inconvenience. The Doctors method
Of treating them combines all the latest improve
ments by the medical faculty with discoveries made
by himself more effective than anything yet known
which secures the patient from the possibility of sec
ondary symptoms, and removes the disease in the
shortest possible time
Secondary syphilis which appears in consequence
of the absorption of the poison into the system and
produces BubGs, Ulcerations in the throat and nose
which destroy the soft parts, and cause the bone to
mortify, separate and come away, disigurng the
patient horribly. Nodes or painful swelngs in the
bones; splotches upon the skin, cases of which the
Doctor daily in his Office and which are the re-
suit of improper treatment Also, ulcers sores and
pmples, and injuries to the constitution which af-
ter long period of suffering destroy life 1t will
also be remembered that these disorders are heredt
airy, passing from parent to child, and entailing
upon the offspring ruined constitution. For the
of all these forms of diseases the doctor guar
antees a cure or asks no compensation
The Doctor can be consulted by letter or other
wise free of charge and invites all who are afiiict-
ed TO call upon him, where he will give them such
satisfaction as they can obtain nowhere else. His
rooms are Nos. and 2, Armory Hall, corner of
Sacramento and Montgomery streets San Fran

whose respectability and education enables him to

upon TO state that, by long study and extensive
