Dir. CRaxE:-I have had upon my forehead for
the last seven years, mercurial sore OF the most
obstinate character which has been treated ex-
tensively by twenty of the first class regular
physicians, without any permanent beneft-oiten
with injurious results
A few weeks since | applied to you for treat
ment, and according TO your treatment, the sore
is now well-the cicatrix healthy. l regard the
application a. one of inestmable scientific merit,
and am wholly satisfied and well pleased NAV
say rejoiced-with the result in my case not only,
but with the result in various other cases of
yours that have fallen under my observation.

ASSUMPTION, La, May I5 1861
This may certify that my boy Davy had been
afflicted with disease for four or five years. and
under the care of several of our best physicians
who pronounced his case dropsy, but were unable
to benefit him or arrest the progress of the dis
ease and we considered him incurable. In May,
1896. called upon DIR. Crane, who examined the
boy and said his disease was hypertrophy and i'm
perfect closure of the mtra valve of the heart and
the dropsica state of the blood the effect of dis
ease in that organ.
He further stated that the disease was consd-
cred incurabe by the usual method of treatment
He was then suffering from the dropsical efusion
dyspnpa, so that he was unable to lie down ut
all. After weeks treatment, the symptoms
were decidedly favorable, which induced the doc
tor To continue the treatment, and mt the expira-
ton of one month all the characteristic symptoms
of the disease had left him. The treatment was
continued another month"; that we might be fully
satisfied that the disease had entirely disappeared
when | took him home. He was ut first very
thin and weak, but rapidly recovered strength
and flesh and has since been entirely well, for
about nine months. f. W PIKE

Having witnessed the complete restoration to
health of friend in the second stage ofphtliisic
pulmona or consumption, feel it duty to make
known the means by which this result was ac-
complished
As briefly as possible will state tie circum-
stances of the case. This young lady had been
examined by one of our best physicians consider
ed most skillfu in diseases of the chest and lungs
who pronounced her i'll consumption; that one
lobe of the lung was gone, and she would proba
bly, not live more than two months. About the
LIST OF December | called on DR. Crane who made
an examination of her chest and lungs and pro-
nounced them as before described by DR.. W
much diseased, and partly hepatized; but added,
81 do not consider il hopeless case for by ar
scSting further tubercular deposition she will have
sound lungs enough to live on and will be no more
liable to die of consumption than if she had not
been sick" She then commenced treatment un-
der his peculiar system of inhalation, and in three
months so much improved as To consider her
self as well as ever. SEMEN FIELD.

GENrLEMEN-Having been, may say, almost
miraculouslv restored to health from consump-
ton, bv inhaling into the lungs medicines in the
form of vapor. feel that | can, in Justice Ia
my fellow men, no longer delay to make known
the means 10y which this happy end WAS accom-
plished. The effect was truly surprising-almost
from the commencement. | felt sensible of bene-
fit Irritation in my chest was So0thed and ex-
pectoraton became easy: gradually the oppres-
sion aud shortness of breath went off. and within
two months was sufficiently restored TO return
To this city and resume my business, and now. nj
the end OF five months, am in the enjoyment oI
excellent health. Believing that | owe 10 nha-
lation not only my present good health. but in
! all probability my life itself. could not refrain
from bringing il before the public.
