| DR. TOZER returns his thanks TO his numerous
~ patients for their patronage, and would en-
brace this opportunity to remind them that he con-
tnues tocolsul on those difficult cases OF vENEREAL
which have baiiied the skill Of some Of the most
celebrated physicians Of the age, and upon which
he has nerer failed to perform a radical cure.
| Dr. Tozer's reputation as a Physician stands un
equaled His exclusive attention to Diseases of the
| Gento Urinary Organs for many years, renders
him perfect master of Syphilitic Diseases.
The large number of aggravated cases that he
has perfectly cured after they have been given up
by many others, is the only proof that Physician
requires of his ability.
DR.. Tozer would state that he can cure all cases
of varieties OF the disease, matter how long
standing, of what piogress the disease has made,
every patient can rely upon cure.
DR.. Tozer has, it is well known, taken patients
from the very verge Of the grave, and RESTORED
! THEM TO PERFECT HEALTH. He further
states that he deems it sufficient to attract the at
tention of those who might aeed the services of a
physician in ALL cases. not particularly those emu
merated in the advertisement, expecting that they
would test my merits as practitioner and the re-
suit of my practice has been thus far satisfactory to
my patients and myself Nor do deem 1t neces
ssry to fill columns of the newspapers with fulsome
empirlc and bombastc advertisements, protesting
my ability to heal all diseases flesh is heir to, for to
do that must be something more than man. but to
give those that are afflicted with VENEREAL
CHRONIC, and other diseases, to understand, from
long experience, am fully competent to treat them
successfully
My regard for the dignity of the medical profess
sion to which have the honorto belong, deters me
from committing any act savoring Of rank quack-
cry, and regard for my own dignity would prevent
my placing myself on par with quacks and nos
trum venders OF the present age
l offer no genuine or fraudulent certificates or
pufs of my superior qualifications practitioner,
neither do | assume to myself medical honors to
which am not entitled, but merely ask those who
are diseased to read the different advertisements
relating to the of private diseases, and Judge
