1t is known TO be true by persons Of extended

every other department of knowledge, is and has
been In years past, subjected TO many and varied
changes and il would seem strange indeed if those
changes had no tendency upward or onward, keep

medical gentleman should t-y to keep pace with ali
improvements in the medical world.
Some mnds will be led to enquire what particu.

what is his particular mode of practice? The Doc.
tor would say that he has not adopted a speciality
in the treatment Of disease, the choice of RENE
dies; he has however TURNED bis attention more
particularly to the treatment of LUNG AND FEE
MALE DISEASES; and the present condition OF
our race physically, would seem to urge every med
ical gentleman TO turn his attention in this drec-
ion from the fact that small contracted weak lungs

and debility: therefore to restore the small fiat

in the back, soreness across the small of the back

blindness on STOPPING, together with many other
symptoms which prevail among the female sex,
which often arise from scorfulous dathesis
1t is the Drs. purpose to treat chronic diseases
generally, and hope to give satisfaction.
With regard to treatment the DIR. STYLES his prac-
tice ANALYTIC CHEMISTRY as he discards the
mineral poison and analyses all vegetable sub
stances which he uses. The Dr. has discovered
many remedies in his travels which he finds
great utility in the of disease which are not Ia

among the native Indians, well as those growing
among the continual summer of Mexico Especial.
ly would we call the attention to that class of rem
edles which by recent chemical Developments he
uses Tor general weakness and debility in which
he used in case in ST. Joseph Co., Ind, where for
two years the person was confined to the room and
couch but on application of his treatment a per-
nanent cure followed. And also in various cases
OF debility, his patients constantly gain strength
while bis medicines aid the recuperatve process OF
nature. The nr. believes his treatment of disease
to be fully up with the times and will take pleasure
IN explaining his method of treatment by letter
or otherwise, to any person who desires to consult
him. The DIR. will also be pleased to undertake to
satisfy any skeptcal mind with regard to his medi-
cal knowledge in treating the most diff
cult forms of disease, (of the Head Ears Throat.

by referring to parties In this vicinity and in other
parts OF the country, who have cartully watched
his treatment OF disease for months, and in some
cases for much longer time; also he would refer
TO any person privately to numbers of individual
cases carefully treated and cured of various forms
OF disease, since the introduction of his practice

suffering with weakness general debility or actual
disease, to give him CALL and perhaps bv con-

DIR. will make no charges for consultation or ex
animation. On account of the great variety of
charges for medical service some would inquire
what the habit of DIR. D., is in this respect The
Dr. would say that on account of the financial
condition OF the country, he has reduced his fees
for medical service.
His charges for prescriptions and medicines in
ordinary cases, is three dollars per month"; and as
ne expects to make monthly visits to the above
places, 1t affords an excellent opportunity for those
who desire his counsel or advice. As there NAV
be some in this vicinity who desire to counsel
with the DIR. and are not able to visit him, he has
subJoined list of questions which may be answered
by the patient, and sent by friend to the Dr. or
forwarded to him at Chicago, and by previous
notice and arrangement he may be able to pay
them visit. The following list of questions is
not designed to meet every case, but to give the
patient an idea by which be may be guided in the
description Of the case. All other information
may be able to Judge correctly.
