case, recovery is cert ain. and in shorter time
than a permanent cure can he effected by any
other treatment, even after the disease has baf

pleasant without odor, causing 10 sickness

jaws of death many thonsan ands, who, in the
last stages Of the above mentioned diseases
had bean given up to die by their physicians,

diseases but ruin the constitution, filling the
system with mercury, which, with the disease,
hasens the sufferer into rapid consumption.
But should the disease and the treatment

Self-abuse is another formidable enemy to
health, for nothing else in the dread catalogue
| of human diseases causes so destructive a drain
upon the system, drawing its thousands o!
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, usiness, and
all earthly happiness, and leaves the sufferer
wrecked in body and mind, predisposed to
consumption and tain of evils more to be
dreaded than death itself. With the fullest
confidence assure the unfortunate victims of
self.abuse that a permanent and speedy cure
can be effected, and with the abandonment of
ruinous 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
! millions have their constitutions ruined by
the vile compounds of quack doctors, or the
equally poisonous nostrums nded as Patent
Medicines l have carefully analyzed many
of the so called Patent Medicines and find that
! nearly all of them contain Corrosive SubIi-
mate, which is one of the strongest prepara-
tions of mercury and a deadly poison, which
instead of curing the disease disables the sys-
! TEN for life.
