mated, however long standing or obstinate the
case, recovery is certain. and in shorter time
than a permanent cure can be effected by any
other treatment, even after the disease has baf
fled the skill Of emf inent 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
years of practice, have rescued from the

had bean given up to die by their physicians,
which warrants me in promising to the afict-

perfect and most speedy cure. Secret dis.
eases are the greatest enemies to health, as
they are the first cause of Consumption, Scrof-
ula ami many other diseases, and shoulI be a
terror 10 the human family. As a 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,
hastens the sufferer into rapid consumption.

not cause death speedily and the victim mar

are born with feeble constitutions, and the
current of life corrupted by virus which bes

Throat and Lungs, entailing them to On early
grave.
Self-abuse 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 o.!
| victims through few years of suffering down
to an unlimely grave. 1t destroys the Ner.
vous system, rapidly wastes away the energies
of life, causes mental arrangement, prevents
the proper development of the system, dis
qualities for marriage, society, business, and
all earthly happiness, and leaves the sufferer
wrecked in body and mind, pIedisposed 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 permanent and speedy cure
can be effected, and with the abandonment of

The afflicted are cautioned against the use of
Patent Medicines, for there are SD many inge-
nious 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 nostIums nded as Patent
Medicines have carefully analyzed many
OF the so called Patent Medicines and find thai
nearly all OF them contain Corrosive Subli-
mate, which is one Of the strongest prepara-
tons of mercury and a deadly poison, which
instead OF curing the disease disables the sys.
