M tters not from what cause tho disease o'isi
mated, however long standing or obsliaaie the
case, recovery is tain. and in shorter time
than permanent cure can be effected by any
Other treatment, even aftsr 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 Lo sickness
and free from mercury OF balsam. During 20
years of practice, have rescued from the.
jaws of dea'h 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,
per ect and most speedy cure. Secret dis
eases are the grs1iest enemies to health, as
they nre the first cause Of Consumption, Scrof.
ula ami many other Diseases, and should be
terror 10 the human family. AS a permanent
cure.is scarcely ever effected, majority Of
the cases falling into the hands Of incompe'
tent persons, who not only fail 10 cure the
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
ries, the disease i entaicd upon children, who
ure born with feeble constitutions, and the
current of life corrupted by virus which be.
trays itself in Scrofula, Tetter, Ulcers, Erup.
lions and other affections of the skin, Eyes,
Throat and Lungs, eniang them TO on early
gtave.
Self-abuse is another formidable enemy to
health, for nothing else in tho dread catalogue
of human diseases causes 50 destructive drain
upon the system, drawing its thousands o!
victims through few years of suffering d 'wu
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 10
consumption and tain of evils mole to be
dreaded than dealh itself. With the fullest
confidence assure the unfortunate victims of
selfaause that a permanent and speedy cure
can be effected, and with the abandonment Of
ruinous practices my patients can be restored
10 robust. vigo Gus health. |
The afflicted are cautiuncd against The use of
Patent Medicines, for there are SD many inge-
NOUS snares in the columns of The public prints
TO catch and rob the unwaiy sufferers that
millions have their constitutions ruined by |
the vile compounds Of quock docois, or the
equally poisonous nostrums need as Patent |
Medicines.' have carefully anaIyzcd many
of the SO called Patent Medicines and find that |
nearly all of them contain Corrosive SuDii- |
mate, which is one of the strongest prepara-
tons of mercury and deadly poison, which |
instead of curing the disease disabies the sys-.I
TEN for life.
1hree-fourths Of the patent nosrums now
in use are put up by unprincipled. and ignor.
ant persons, who do not understand even the
alphabet of The Ma,eria Medca, and are equal
Iy as destitute of any knowledge of the human
system, having one object only in view, and
that 10 make money regardless of consequences.
