PRIVATE HOSPITAL.
No. lOf Lafayette Avenue, BROOKLYN, NY

For the treatment Of all forms OF
CHRONIC DISEASES
pr. o. X. SAMMlS respectfully announces to
the public that, after general practice Of over
twenty years, during which he has effected some
of the most unexpected and extraordinary cures
recorded in the annals Of medicine including long
standing cases of Consumption, Dyspepsia, Rheu-
matism, Gout, Neuralgia, Heart Affections, Scrof-
ua, Barrenness and, in fact, Constitutional Weak
ness of nearly every kind he has become fully
convinced that much Of his success has depended
upon he amount of personal attention bestowed by
him on each case. lie has, therefore, fitted up
his own residence for the reception of a limited
number OF patients, 10 whom he is prepared to
give his personal attention, including the imme-
date supervision Of their nursing dieting, Sleep
ing, exercising, &C., without which the best med
ical treatment in the world is generally not only
useless, but injurious. By thus having his pa
tients under his immediate and control, DR..
Sammis is confident that he will be able to cure
diseases of even longer standing, and of a more
aggravated character, than those which have here
tofore succumbed 10 his treatment under less fa-
vorabe circumstances
Dr. Sammis begs to subjoin few testimonials
from persons who have been successfully treat
ed by him for Chronic Diseases
AFFECTION OF THE LUNGS.
Brooklyn June Z 1857.
This is to certify that in the spring of 1862, Dr.
.. K Sammis was called to attend my wife for
an Affection of the Lungs, with which she had
been afflicted for thirteen years, and from which
Bne nad been nnhDle 10 ma Iene1 from some oil
the best physicians in this city. In very short
time after Hr. Sammis attended her, her symp-
toms were totally removed; and after Il lapse of
five years they have not returned. Soon after DIR.
Sammis performed this cure, he left Brooklyn to
reside in New York, and my wife. being attacked
with severe turns of Bilious Cholic was compelled
to have recourse TO her old ply scians from whom,
however, as in the case Of the lung affection cured
by DIR. Sammis, she obtained no relief. Her at
tncks continued to increase in frequency for three

ten as twice week. Last autumn | resolved to
have recourse once more to the services of DIR.
Samms, at whatever inconvenience and expense.
| accordingly applied to him, and am happy to be
able to state that, under his treatment, these dis
tressing and alarming turns Immediately became
less frequent and that they have long since ceased
altogether. Having thus tested the capacity Of
DIR. Sammis in two entirely different cases, each
of which had buffled the skill of many other ply
sycians of high standing, can, with more than
ordinary confidence recommend sick persons to
avail themselves of his services

FEMALE DisEAsEs
Montgomery, Ala Nov. 8, 1857.
This certifes that was afflicted for eli ght months
with one of the most painful diseases to which Ia
dies subject, and which, in my case, mani
tested itself in such variety of ferns as to rem
der me nearly helpless, and unable to attend TO
my household and other duties. ! could neither
stand nor sit with any degree of comfort, and
while lying down ] was in constant pain. Every
function of my body appeared to be deranged.
The advice and treatment of the best physician.
rot only failed TO relieve me, but even aggravated
my disease. Medicine, instruments, supporters,
&c, all proved equally unavailing, and at length
gave up all hope and. made up my mind to lie
on my back for an indefinite period, without any
state, heard OF DR.. o. X. Sarnmis, Of Brooklyn =,
N T., and was strongly urged by persons who
had been his patients to consult him, They told
me if he could not cure me, no one else could.
followed the advice Of my friends, and DR.. Sam
mis- Immediately informed me that could derive
permanent benefit from the treatment had re-
ceived, and that whatever temporary relief the
use of instruments, &c, were a1ording mo, was
more than counter balanced by the chronic weak
ness their use would en9ender. He ascribed my
disease to general cause and said that if |
wished TO get well must have recourse 10 gener.
al and not topical treatment, and that | must
bandon the further use ofinstruments, SC. This
all looked SO unreasonable that made up my mind
to remain in Brooklyn, \. Y, and place myself
under the care Of DR.. Sammis at his residence.
In six weeks after | had resided in his family /
was restored to complete health, which have ev
er since enjoyed From the da'e of my recovery
have been able to endure even an extra amount
of fatigue, and have every reason to believe that
my strength will be lasting 1t will afford me
much pleasure to give to any lady who may feel
inclined to write to or call upon me such special
information regarding my case she may require.
