matters not from what cause the disease origi
mated, however long standing or obsli aatc the
case, recovery is certain. and in shorter time
than permanent cure can be effected by any
other trea tment, even after the disease has baf
fled the skill OF eminent physicians and resist
ed all the means of cure. The medicines are
pleasant without odor, causing TO sickness
and free from mercury or balsam. During 20
years of practice, | have rescued from the
jaws of death many thousands, 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 arc the first cause of Consumption, Scrof
ula ami many other diseases, and should he
terror TO the human family. As q permanent
cure is scarcely ever effected, a majority of
the cases falling into the hands of incompe.
tent persons, who not only fail to cure the
diseases but ruin the constitution, filling the
system with mercury, which, with the disease,
hustcns the sufferer into rapid consumption,
But should the disease and the treatment
not cause death speedily and the victim mar
ries, the disease l. entailed upon children, who
arc born with feeble constitutions, and the
current of life corrupted by virus which bc>
trays itself in Scrofula, letter, Ulcers, Erup-
tions and other affections of the skin, Eyes
Throat and Lungs, entailing them to an early
gave.
SeEanuse is another formidable enemy TO
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
10 an untmely 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, prcdisposed to
consumption and tain of evils moic to be
dreaded than death itself. With the fullest
confidence assure the unfortunate victims of
selfabuse that 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 cautioncd against the use of
Patent Medicines, for there are SD many inge-
NOUS snarcs 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 nostIums y nGed as Patent
Medicines. | have carefully analyzed many
of the so called Patent Medicines and find that
nearly all of them contain Corrosive Subli-
mate, which is one of the strongest prepara-
tons of mercury and deadly poison, which
INSTEAD of curing the disease disabics the sys-
TEN for life.
Ihree-fourths of the patent nostrums now
IN use are put up by unprincipled and iguor-
ant persons, who do not understand even the
alphabet of The Maleria Mcdica, and are equal.
