and vicinity, and therefore would say to the citizens
Of those places. that he is fully aware that there
are 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, flor his improved
method of treatment) in this vicinity
1t is known to be true by persons of extended
observ alton, 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 DIR. is fully aware that the medical world is
far behind many of the arts and sciences yet at 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
icai knowledge With these facts before u.s. every
medical gentleman should try to keep pace with all
improvements in the medical world. sfl.l
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 speciality
In the treatment of disease, or the choice of RENE
dies :; he has however TURNED his 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
ical gentleman to turn his attention in this drec-
ton, from the fact that small contracted weak lungs
are among the commonalities 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 q scorfulous dathess
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 DIR. has discovered
many remedies in his travels which he finds of
great utility in the of disease which are not in
general use especially those discovered while
among the native Indians. as well as those growing
among the continual summer of Mexico Especial
ly would 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 case in ST. Joseph Co., Ind where for
two years the person confined to the room and
couch but on application of his treatment, per-
nanent cure followed. And also in various cases
of debility, his patients constantly gain strength
while his medicines aid the recuperative process of
nature The l'r. believes his treatment OF disease
to be fully up with the times, and will take pleasure
in explaining his method of treatment by letter
ar otherwise, to any person who desires to consult
him. The DR.. will also be pleased to undertake to
satisfy any skeptcal mind with regard to his med-
cal knowledge success in treating the most dif-
cult forms of disease, (of the Head. Ears, Throat

parts of the country, who have carfuy 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 aud cured of various forms
of disease, since the introduction of his practice

DIR. will make charges for consultation or ex-
animation. Tn account OF the great variety of
charges for medical service, some would inquire
what the habit of Dr. d.. is in this respect The
DR.. would say that account of the financial
condition of the country, he has reduced his fees
for medical service.

ordinary cases, is three dollars per month aud 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

subjUined list of questions which NAV be answered
by the patient, and sent by friend Il, the DIR. or
forwarded to him at Chicago, and by previous
them visit. The following list of questions is
