NILES, DOWAGIAC, DECATUR,
a PAW PAW,
and vc;ntv and therefore would saw 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 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
observation, 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 IT 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 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
ical 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 attention to- and
what is his particular mode of practice? The Doc
tor would say that he has not adopted a speciality
dies; he has however TURNED his attention more
particularly to the treatment of LUNG AND FE
MALE DISEASES; and the present condition o.
our race physically, would seem to urge every med
ica gentleman to turn his attention in this direc
ton from the fact that small contracted weak lungs
are among the commodities of the present time
also among the female sex there is universal ten
dency to scorfula, effemiancy, internal weakness:
and debility therefore to restore the small fa
weak lungs, to full round, erect size and shape
- ~ n
strong, and entirely removing the internal weak
ness, debility, all gone feeling at the stomach, pair
in the back soreness across the small of the bacl
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 scOrfuous diathesis.
1t is the Drs purpose to treat chronic disease:
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 DIR. has discovered
many remedies in his travels which he finds O
great utility in the of disease which are not
general use especially those discovered while
among the native Indians as well as those growing
among the continual summer of Mexico. Especial
" 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 in St. Joseph Co., Ind, where fol
two years the person was confined to the room anC
manent cure followed. And also in various cases
of debility, his patients constantly gain strength
while his medicines aid the recuperative process o
nature. The nr. believes his treatment of diseas,
to be fully up with the times and will take pleasure
in explaining his method of treatment by lette
or otherwise to any person who desires to consul
him. The DIR. will also be pleased to undertake t
satisfy any skeptical mind with regard to his medi
cal knowledge or success in treating the most dif
cult forms of disease, (of the Head, Ears, Throat
II Sn.,, T.. e.
by referring to parties in this vicinity and in othe
parts of the country, who have earthly watches
| his treatment of disease for months and in som
cases for much longer time; also he would refe
to any person privately to numbers of individua
cases carefully treated and cured of various form
of disease since the introduction of his practice
in the West The DR.. especially invites person
suffering with weakness general debility, or actua
disease, to give him call, and perhaps by con
sultation or a thorough examination of the person
may receive satisfaction is his her case. Tn
| DR.. will make charges for consultation or ex
animation. On account of the great variety @
charges for medical service, some would inquir
what the habit of Dr. d., is in this respect. Tn
DIR. would say that on account of the tinancia
condition of the country, he has reduced his fee
for medical service.
His charges for prescriptions and medicines i
ordinary cases, is three dollars per month and a
he expects to make monthly visits to the abov
places, it affords an excellent opportunity for thos
who desire his counsel or advice. As there ma
be some in this vicinity who desire to counse
with the DIR. and are not able to visit him, he ha
subjOined list of questions which NAV be answers
| by the patient, and sent by friend to the DIR. o
forwarded to him at Chicago, and by previou
notice and arrangement he may be able to pa
them visit. The following list of questions i
not designed to meet every case. but to give tn
patient an idea by which he may be guided in tn
description of the case. All other information
possible should also be given in order that the DIR
may be able to Judge correctly.
