Card.

Dr.. Hunter finds 1t necessary to announce
that the requirements of the New York Office
OF Drs- r. & J. Hunter, and other matters Of
Importance, will compel him to close the office
in Chicago on or about the 25th Of april.
It is, however, without doubt, mores salts
factory, both to patient and physician, to have
personal interview and examination Of the
true condition Of the health, and it is with
this view that a branch office WIS established
in Chicago for the past winter. Before the
Office is closed it will be well for all such as
desire to avail themselves Of Dr. Hunters
services, or to have his opinion, on personal
examination, to call upon him while he is
here. They can then place themselves under
correspondence with the New York office is
eftctually as if the branch Office WAS contin-
ned In Chicago.
DR.. h. regrets the necessity, the more as
the large number Of patients now under his
care, and the general satisfaction experienced
from the success of his treatment, are suf1-
| cient encouragement to continue the Office in
| Chicago for an indefinite period
| At the same time, in treating chronic affec-
tions Of the throat and lungs, after full exam
| ination has been made, and this character and
stage OF the disease properly ascertained, per
Eonal attendance is not essential. The patient
| is supplied with Notwithstanding instru-
ments, matetin1 for applications, or whatever
| is necessary Tor the ettectual treatment Of the
| case, with ample written instructions on all
| points. Provided In this manner there is no
difficulty in following out the treatment to
| successful results.
| A great many otherwise hopeless cases have
been treated in all sections Of the Union from
the head office at New York, where it was not
practicable to see the patient. Some Of the
Consumption and Bronchitis, on medical re-
cord, have been effected in this way. Parties
! now living in Chicago can attest in their own
| experience, years since, the truth ofthis state.
ment In fact, there is no section of country,
| North OF South, where witnesses could moi
be procured to prove the success of the treat.
ment pursued l'y Drs. r. d J. Hunter in dis.
eases OF the throat and lungs, even where pa
tients could not leave their homes to visit
them.
The direct method OF treating diseases 0,
tne chest, asthma, consumption, bronchitis,
&C, by lnhaling remedies into the lungs, in.
stead OF taking them into the stomach, was
first systematically introduced and prattised
BY Drs. r. & s. Hunter, whose various publ
cations On the subject have awakened public
attention to subject before then 11apt in thu
most fatal Ignorance. The consequence ha
been, that in the city Of New York alone, tn,
mortality from consumption In q few year;
has diminished one-thirtl as attested BY th'
City Inspectors records, thus of6cially an
| swe1irg every casl or doubt which might aris,
on its practical effects. Surely, nothing car
he more conclusive OF gratifying, announcing
as it does, with many tongues, that " cosssanp
ton can he cared
In conclusion, Dr.. Hunter would warn thos
whose disease may now be in au carly stage
and easily amenable to treatment-uot to neg
leet It until the lungs become disorganized
and the vitality Of the :s5stem so far impaire,
as to render the case difficult 1t not doubtful
OF treatment 4 few months make yer
| great difference in the inroads Of disease on th
lungs. Those, there fore, who feel that there |
"somtthing aeroxq," should not lose a rnomen
