Of those places, that he Is fully aware that there
aret many medical gentlemen, visiting different
parts of the country who Judging from their sue
cess in the treatment Sof disease5 have but little
claim to professional knowledge, yet nevertheless,
claiming for himself first, q thorough medical
education, second, considerable practical knowl-
edge of the treatment of disease, and also of having
great success in years past in the treatnentof dis

cases that may be presented, tfor his impfos cd

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 pasty subjected to- many and varied
changes; and would seem strange indeed if those
changes had no tendeiicy upward or onward, keep
ing, pace with other arts and sciences, on ErR
The DIR. is fully aware that the medical world is
far behind many of the arts and sciences " 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
ical knowledge With these facts before rs, every

Some minds viii be led to enquire what particu-
lar diseases does the Dr,pay most attention to- and
what is his particular mode of practices? The Doc
tor would say that he has not adopted 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 OF
our race physically, would seem to urge every med
ical gentleman to turn his attention in this drec
ton from the nh all cd

also among the female sex there is universal ten
dency to scorfula, retiemiancy, internal weakness

symptoms which prevail among the female sex,
which often arise from scorfulous diathesis
1t 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
stances which he uses. The Dr. has discovered
many remedies in his travels which he finds
great utility in the of disease which are not +.
| general use especially those discovered Will,
among the native Indians, as well as those growins
among the continual summer of Mexico. Especial
y would we call the attention to that class Of rem
| edes which by recent chemical developments ht
uses for general weakness and debility, in which
he used in a case in ST. Joseph Co, Ind, where fol
two years the person was confined to the room auC
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 recuperative process Of
nature. The lfr believes his treatment of disease
to be fully up with the times and viii take pleasure
In explaining his method of treatment by letter
or otherwise, to any person who desires to consult
him. The DIR. will also be pleased to undertake tC
satisfy any skeptical mind with regard to his medi
cal knowledge or success III treating the most difl
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 caFfully 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
carefully treated and cured of various forms
of disease, since the Introduction of his practice
in the West. The DR.. especially invites persons
suffering with weakness, general debility, actual
disease, to gave him call, and perhaps by con-
sutation or thorough examination of the person
may receive satisfaction is his or her case. The
DR.. will make no charges for consultation or ex-
| animation. On account of the great variety Of
charges for medical service some would inquire
what the habit of DR.. d., is in this respect. The
DIR. would say that on account of the financial
condition of the country, he has reduced bis fees
for medical service.
His charges for prescriptions and medicines in
ordinary cases is three dollars per month. and 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 may
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 friend to the DIR. OF
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 gten, in order that the Dr.
may be able TO indpe cnlieitlr
