edge of the treatment OF disease and also of hs~;
great success in years past in the treatment of dis
ease. He is confident of success in all curahle
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 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 vet 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
icaI knowledge With these facts before us. every
medical gentleman should try to keep pace with ali
improvements in the medical world.
Some minds will be led to enquire what particu-
lar diseases does the DIR. pay attention to, and
what is his particular mode of practice? The Doc
tor would saw that he has not adopted speciality
in the treatment of disease the choice of reme-
dies; he has however TURNED bis attention more
particularly to the treatment of LUNG AND FE-
MALE DISEASES; and the present condition of
race physically, would seem to urge every med
ical gentleman to turn his attention in this drec-
tion from the fact that small contracted weak lungs
are among the commonalities of the present time !;
also among the female there is universal ten
dency to scorfula, efiemiancy, internal weakness
and debility therefore to restore the small fat
weak lungs to a 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 on STOPPING, together with many other
symptoms which prevail among the female seq.
which often arise from a scorfulous diathesis.
1t is the Drs purpose to treat chronic diseases
generally, and hope to give satisfaction.
With regard to treatment the DIR. STYLES bis prac-
tce ANALYTIC CHEMISTRY, as he dscards the
mineral poison and anal, SEES all vegetable sub
stances which he uses. The Dr. has discovered
many remedies in bis travels which he finds Of
great utility in the of disease which are not in
general use especially those discovered while
among the native Indians, as well as those growing
among the continual summer of Mexico. Especial
ly would we call the attention to that class of
edes which by recent chemical developments he
uses tor 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 recupers tive process Of
nature. The Ir. 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 DR.. will also be pleased to undertake to
satisfy any skepical mind with regard to his medi-
cal knowledge 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 i'm other
parts oil the country, who have earthly watched
his treatment OF disease for months, and in some
cases Tor 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 hs practice.
IN the West. The DIR. especially invites persons
suherlrg with weakness general debility, or actual
disease, to give him call, and perhaps by con-
sultation or thorough examination of the person
may receive satisfaction is his or her case The
Dr. VIII make no charges for consultation or ex-
animation On account of the great variety of
charges for medical service some would inouire
what the habit of DR.. d., is i'm this respect The
DR. would say that 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 as
he expects to make monthly visits TO the above
places, 1t 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 DR.. and not able to visit him, he has
subjoined list of questions which NAV be answered
by the patient. and sent by a friend TO the Dr. or
forwarded to him at Chicago, and by previous
notice and arrangement he may be able to paw
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 given in order that the Dr.
may be able to judge correctly.
