TN approaching any new course of systematic in
/ quiry there are certain points concerning which
the inquirer should always be careful to satisfy
himself lie should comprehend distinctly what the
subject of inquiry is-Health and Disease
And we can form and fix in our minds clear
conception of the state of Health We shall have no
difficulty in understanding what is meant by Dis
ease. But beyond, not above these objects of in
yestigaton of the human body, we have another
and still nobler end. Ii Is to lay before you in such
plain terms that you cannot be mistaken and will
know where to apply for relief.
Iuse the word of "disease" generally, and be-
fore speak of the signs of particular diseases, it
will be proper to take general view of symptoms.
When person is troubled or afflicted with disease,
which causes n werkness of the back and limbs
pain in the head, dmness of sig ht, loss Of muscu-
lar power palpitation Of the heart rratability
nervousness, dyspepsia, arrangement of the dges-
tive functions, general debility, symptoms of con-
sumption, and many Others which are better eX-
planned than put on paper, and requires Medical or
Surgical Attention, it would be well for them to
inquire if thare is IA physician who scompetent to
attend them, and who understands the application
of medicine, and whose SCIENTIFIC ATTAIN
MENTS in his profession and whose age and ex-
perience entite him to your confidence. Consider
these things DIR. @. ii. TozER has concluded to in
form you that are afflicted, advertising his place of
business, stating that he has been successful prac-
ttioner for over twenty-five years, and has
ATTENDED AND CURED HUNDREDS,
when they have been considered by other physi-
clans, and have been pronounced by them past re-
covery. Therefore you can rely upon him as one
in whom SECRECY and the utmost confidence can be
placed.
Dr. G. II. T. would invite all that are afflicted to
call on him, and if he does not administer for them,
there will be no charge made Let no false delica-
cy prevent yon, but apply Immediately, and save
Yourself from the dreadful consequences which
must follow those who neglect to receive atten-
dance.
Dr. c. H. Tozer's Office is on Sixth street, near
the Belvidere Hotel, between J and X streets Ills
rooms are so arranged that the Doctor can be con-
sultsd without the fear of molestation.
