and vicinity and therefore would say to the citizens
of those places. that he is fully that there
many medical gentlemen visiting different
parts of the country, who Judging from their
cess in the treatment of disease) have but little
claim to professional knowledge. yet nevertheless,
claiming for himself, first, thorough medical
education, second, considerable practical knowl-
edge of the treatment of disease and also of having
great success in years past in the treatment Of dis
ease. He is confident of success in all durable
cases that may be presented, (for his improved
method Of treatment) in this vicinity.
1t is known to be true 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 varied
changes and il would seem strange indeed if those
changes had no tendency upward or onward, keep
ing pace with other arts and sciences.
| The Dr. is fully aware that the medical world is
far behind many of the arts and sciences. yet at the
same time there 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
ica knowledge. With these facts before us, every
medical gentleman should try to keep pace with all
improvements in the medical world.
/ Some minds will be led to enquire what particu-
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 RENE
dies; he has however TURNED bis attention more
particularly to the treatment OF LUNG AND FE
MALE DISEASES; and the present condition o.
our race physically would seem to urge every med
ical gentleman to turn his attention in this direc
tion from the fact that small contracted weak lungs
are among the commentaries of the present time
also among the female there is universal ten
dency to scorfula, effemiancy, internal weakness
and debility; therefore to restore the small fat
weak lungs, to a full, round erect size and shape
making the short breath long, the weak voice
strong, and entirely removing the internal weak
ness, debility, all gone feeling at the stomach, pain
IN the back, soreness across the small of the back
and bowels, together with cold feet dizziness
blindness on stopping, together with MANY other
symptoms which prevail among the female sex
which often arise from scorlulous diathesis.
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 analyse all vegetable sub
stances which he uses. The DR.. has discovered
many remedies in his travels which he finds Of
great utility in the cure of disease which not in
general use especially those discovered while
among the native Indians, as 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, i'm which
he used in a in 81. Joseph Co.. Ind where ful

couch; but OH application of his treatment, per
manent cure followed And also i'm various cases
of debility, his patients constantly gain strength
while his medicines aid the recuperative process oil
nature. The INr. believes his treatment of disease
to be fully up with the times, and will take pleasure
in explaining his method of treatment by letter
nr 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 success in treating the most dfl
cult forms of disease. (of the Head. Ears. Throat
Heart, Lungs, Liver, Spine. Kidneys, &C., &c >
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
cases for a much longer time; also he would refer
to any person privately tn numbers of individual
carefully treated and cured of various forms
of disease, since the introduction of his practice
in the West. The DIR. especially invites persons
suffering with weakness general debility, actual
disease, to give him call, and perhaps by con-
sdltation "a thorough examination of the person,
may receive satisfaction is his or her case. The
| DR.. will make no charges for consultation
| 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
DIR. 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. aud as
he expects to make monthly visits to the above
places it 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 DIR. and are not able to visit HIM, he has
subjoined list of questions which NAV be answered
by the patient. and sent by friend TO the DIR. 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 he may be guided in the
description Of the case. All other information
possible should also be given in order that the Dr.
may be able to Judge correctly.
