READ THE FOLLOWING:
A CASE GLGEr AND STRUCTURE.
Dr. Doherty-Dear Sir: feel my health so full
ly restored, that in common gratitude, believe
should make you some written acknowledgment
for your valuable services-particularly so as
your fee was small for the work performed.
I arrived in this city from the East about one
year ago, and was then suffering from old
case Of gleet. complicated structure. Being a
stranger in this city, and believing those Doctors
who gave such positive assurances of success were
necessarily the best (some of whom have a large
number Of titlesl, placed myself in their charge
and continued under their treatment until | had
lost nearly all hope and IL considerable sum of
money.
l wish to say now that you are the sixth doctor
have employed, and the only one that has ever
done me any service. My cleet is wholly cured,
the structure is all removed, ard my general
health is better than it has been for years.
In conclusion would say to the many unor-
tunltes who require medical advice. if you have
any doubt as to whom you may employ, ask Dr..
Doherty for my address and call and see me. Q
keep store in this city) My experience may save
you many dollars.
[ would also add that in the early stage of my
disease, used a large amount of the preparations
advertised as an intallible cure for Gonorrhea
Gleet, etc, but never derived any benefit from
them.
am Doctor very truly yours,

SEMINAL wEAKNESS-A SwoRN-To CERTIFICATE OF
MOST REMARKABLE CURE OF sPERMAToRRHEA.
A desire to benefit humanity. and feeling of
gratitude to DR.. W. K. Doherty, alone induces me
to make this statement For many years | have
been afflicted with that fearful disease known as
"Spermaorrhpl." or Seminal Weakness. the re-
suit of self abuse, but till 1855 experienced but
little trouble or inconvenience In that year,
however, had seminal weakness to au alarming
extent, which was soon followed by the most
alarming symptoms, weakness of the back and
limbs pain in the head. dimness of vision, ner-
vonsness and general debility. My mind, too,
was afflicted to such an extent as to seriously i'm
pair my memory; my IDEAS wore confused and
spirits depressed. was avcrse to society, had
evil forebolings and sef-distrnst, and WIS entire
ly untitled for any Of the duties of life. From
1855 to the Summer OF 1868, | employed the very
best medical talent could find, and spt mt several
hundred dollars, but in no instance obtained more
than temporary relief | had about concluded
there was no relief for me in this world but see
ing DR.. Doherty's advertisement, | thought !
should call and sec him, as he charged nothing
for consultation. had an interview with Dr.
Doherty, at his Office, in Sacramento street. and
his fee for treatment was so reasonable, | deter
mined to try him, though did not expect much
benefit from his treatment On the 5th of De-
cember last placed myself under his care; in
one week found myself very much improved,
and now after five weeks treatment feel my
self thoroughly cured of all my troubles and in
The enjoyment of the best health. Hoping that
my experience may be OF benefit to others simi-
larly afflicted, subscribe myself.
