battered once 10 while. We realise the
benefit Of it once year, when the asses
sors come round ask and how much stock we
have in the public funds or ia banks; and
various other questions that are supposed to
be only to the "solid men" If there is
anybody round, We straighten up slightly,
expand our corporosity, and, in as heavy a
chest tosae as we can command we answer,
"About the same as last year" They know
well enough what that is. The Commits

NEREAL which have baflled the skill of some of the
most celebrated physicians of the age, and upon
which he has necer failed to perform radical
cure.
DR.. Tozer's reputation as Physician stands
eoualed. His exclusive attention to diseases of the
genito-urinary organs for so 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 cure any and all cases or varieties of
the diseases, no matter how long standing, or
what progress the disease has made, every pa
tient can rely upon cure.
Dr.. Tozer has, it is well known, taken pa
tients from the very verge of the grave, and
restored them to perfect health He would fur
ther state. that he deems it sufficient to attract
the attention of those who might need the ser
vices of q physician in all cases, but particular
ly those enumerated in this advertisement ex-
cepting they would test my merits as a prac-
titioner. and the result of my practice has been
