mated, however long standing or obsti !ate the
case, recovery is cert ain and in a shorter time
than permanent cure can be effected by any
other treatment, even after the disease has baf
fed the skill of eminent physicians and resist
ed all the means of cure. The medicines are
pleasant without odor, causing 10 sickness
and free from mercury or balsam. During 20
wears of practice, | have rescued from the
jaws of death many thoussn snds, who, in the
last stages of the above mentioned diseases
had bean given up to die by their physicians,
which warrants me IN promising to the afflict-
ed, who may place themselves under my care,
perfect and most speedy cure. Secret dis
eases are the greatest enemies to health, as
they are the first cause of Consumption, Scrof.

diseases but ruin the constitution, filling the
system with mercury, which, with the disease,
haslens the sufferer into rapid consumption
But should the disease and the treatment
not cause death speedily and the victim mar

are born with feeble constitutions, and the
current Of life corrupted by virus which bos

Sclf-anuse is another formidable enemy 10
health, for nothing else in the dread catalogue
of human diseases causes so destructive drain
upon the system, drawing its thousands of
victims through few years of suffering down
to an unlimely grave. II destroys the Ner-
vous system, rapidly wastes away the energies
of life, causes mental arrangement, prevents
he proper development of the system, dis
qualities for marriage, society, business, and
all earthly happiness, and leaves the sufferer
wrecked in body and mind, predisposed to
consumption and tiain of evils more to be
dreaded than death itself. With the fullest
confidence assure the unfortunate victims of
self.abhse that a permanent and speedy cure
can be effected, and with the abandonment of
ruin Gus practices my patients can be restored
TO robust, vigorous health.
The afflicted are cautioned against the use of
Patent Medicines, for there are So many inge
NOUS snares in the columns of the public prints
to catch and rob the unwary sufferers that
mil lions have their constitutions ruined by
the vile compounds of quack doctors, "r the
equally poisonous nostIums nded as Patent
Medicines have carefully analysed many
of the so called Patent Medicines and find that
nearly all Of them contain Corrosive SuDli-
mate, which is one of the strongest prepara-
tons of mercury and deadly poison, which |
instead of curing The disease disabes the sys-
TEN for life.
