of those places. that he is fully aware that there
are many. medical gentlemen visiting different

1t is known 10 be true by persons OF extended
observation, that the medical world, as well as
every other department OF knowledge, Is anu .as
been in years past subjected to many ana varieo
changes and il would seem strange indeed II those
changes had no tendency upward or onward, keep

| The Dr. is fully aware that the medical Woriu Is
far behind many of the arts and sciences yet at the
same tipe there are many minds OF great goodness
of heart who have spent nights and days OF untlrs
ing Toll in order to add to the grand stock OF med
zeal 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 Dr. pay most attention TO- and
what is his particular mode of practice? The Doc

in the treatment of disease the choice of RENE

particularly to the treatment of LUNG AND FE-
MALE DISEASES; and the present condition OF
our race physically, would seem to urge every med

making the short breath long, the weak voice
strong, and entirely removing the internal weak

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 scorfulous diathesis.
1t is the Drs. purpose to treat chronic diseases

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 DIR. has discovered
many remedies in his travels which he finds OF
great utility in the 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, in which
he used in case in St. Joseph Co., Ind. where FOL
two years the person was confined to the room ant

cases carefully treated and cured of various form:

suffering with weakness general debility, or actIa
disease, to give him q call, and perhaps by con
sutatiou thorough examination of the person

DR.. will make no charges for consultation ex
animation. On account of the great variety u
charges for medical service, some would inquire
what the habit of DIR. d., is in this respect. Th.
DR.. would say that on account of the tnancia

? for medical service.
