1t is known TO be trHe- bY- persons of extended
observation, that the medical world, as well as
every other department Of knowledge, is and has
been in years past subjected to many and varieds
changes; and il would seem strange indeed if those
changes had no tendency upward OF onward, keep
ing pace with other arts and sciences 80
The Dr. is fully aware that the medieaPworld is
far behind many OF the arts and Sciences yet the
same time there are many minds of great goodness
of heart who have spent nights and days of untir
ing toll in order to add to the grand stock of med
ical knowledge. With these facts before us, every
medical gentleman should try to keep pace with als
improvements in the medical world.
Some minds will be led to enquire what partcu-
lar diseases does the DIR. pay most attention to- and
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
dies; he has however TURNED bis attention more
particularly to the treatment of LUNG AND FE--
MALE DISEASES; and the present condition Of
our race physically would seem TO urge every med
cai gentleman to turn his attention in this direc
tion from the fact that small contracted weak lungs;
are anlong 'ne commonahtes OF the present time
also among the female sex there is a universal ten
dency to scorfula, effemancy, internal weakness
and debility: therefore to restore the small fat
weak lungs, to full, round, erect size and shape

which often arise from scorfulous diathesis
IS the Drs purpose to treat chronic diseases
generally, and hope to give satisfaction.
With regard to treatment the Dr. STYLES his prac-
tice ANALYTIC CHEMISTRY, as he discards the
, mineral poison and analyses all vegetable sub
i stances which he uses The Dr. has discovered
many remedies in his travels which he finds
great utility in the cure of disease which are not IA.
: general use especially those discovered while
among the native Indians, well as those growing
, among the continual summer of Mexico. Especial
would we call the attention to that class OF REM
, edies which by recent chemical developments he
uses tor general weakness and debility, in which
he used in in st. Joseph Co., Ind, where for
two years the person was confined to the room and
. couch but on application of his treatment per-
. manent cure followed. And also in various cases
of debility, his patients constantly gain strength
while his medicines aid the recuperatve process Of
nature. The Dr believes his treatment of disease
to be fully mp with the times aud will take pleasure
or otherwise to any person who desires to consult
him. The DIR. will also be pleased to undertake to
satisfy any skeptical mind with regard to his medi-
cal knowledge or success i'm 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 carfully watched
his treatment of disease for months, and in some
a cases for much longer time; also he would refer
I to any person privately to numbers of individual
carefully treated and cured of various forms
OF disease, since the Introduction of his practice,
in he West. The DIR. especially invites persons
disease :, give him a call, and perhaps by con-
NAV receive Satisfaction 10 his or her case. The
DIR. will make no charges for consultation or e1.
animation. On account on the grea. variety Of
charges for medical service, su.ne would inquire
what the habit of Dr. d., is in this respect The
DIR. would say that on account of the hnanciai
condition of the country, he has reduced his fees
for medical service. aa
| HIS charges TOR prescriptions and medicines in
ordinary cases, is three dollars per month and as
he expects to make monthly visits TO the above
places, II affords excellent opportunity for those
who desire his counsel or advice. As there NAV
be some in this vicinity who desire to counsel
with the DR.. and are not able to visit him. he has
subjoined list of questions which NAV be answered
by the patient, and sent by a friend TO the Dr. or
forwarded to him at Chicago, and by previous
n notice and arrangement he may be able TO paw
a them visit. The following list of questions is
not designed to meet every case, but to give the
patient an idea by which he may be guided in the
y description Of the CASE All other information
possible should also be given In order that the DR.
may be able to Judge correctly.
