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 sue
cess IN she 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, well as
every other department of knowledge, is and has
| been in years past, subjected to MANY and varied
changes and ii 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 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 Dr. 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 his attention more
particularly to the treatment of LUNG AND FE-
MALE DISEASES; and the present condition OF
our 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 commonalities of the present time
also among the female sex there is universal ten
dency to scorfula, effemancy, internal weakness
and debility; therefore to restore the SMALL fiat
weak lungs, to 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 STOPPING, together with many other
symptoms which prevail among the female sex,
which often arise from scoriulous 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 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 cure of disease which not in
general especially those discovered while
among the native Indians, well as those growing
among the continual summer of Mexico. Especial
y would call the attention to that class of rem
edies which by recent chemical developments he
uses for general weakness and debility, in which
he used in a case in St. Joseph Co., Ind where for
two years the person was confined to the room and
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 recuperatiye process of
nature. The Hr. believes his treatment of disease
to be fully up with the times and will 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 to
satisfy any Skeptcal mind with regard to his med-
cal knowledge or success in treating the most diff
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 earthly 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 and cured of various forms
of disease, since the introduction of ms practice

suffering with weakness general debility, actual
disease, to give him call, and perhaps by con-
sultaton or thorough examination of the person.
may receive satisfaction is his or her case. The
DR.. will make no charges for consultation 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
DR.. 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"; and
he expects to make monthly visits to the above
places it affords an excellent opportunity for those
who desire his counsel or advice. AS there may
be some in this vicinity who desire to counsel
with the DIR. and 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 Il visit The following list of questions is
not designed to meet every case, but to give the
patient idea by which he may be guided in the
description of the All other information
possible should also be given in order that the Dr.
may be able to judge correctly.
