READ THE FOLLOWING:
CASE GrEEr 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 particularly so as
your fee was small for the work performed.
| arrived in this city from the East about one
year ago and was then suffering from an 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 u large
number of titles), placed myself in their charge
and continued under their treatment until | had
lost nearly all hope and considerable sum of
money.
I wish to say now that you are the sixth doctor
| have employed, and the only one that has ever
done me any service. My geet is wholly cured
the structure is all removed and my general
health is better than it has been for years.
In conclusion would say to the many untor
unates 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. U
keep tore in this city) Ny experience may save
you many dollars.
| would also add that in the early stage of my
disease, used large amount Of the preparations
advertised as an inalible cure for GonorrhGa,
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 sPERNAroRRHGA.
A desire to benefit humanity and feeling of
gratitude to DR.. W. X. Doherty. alone induces me
to make this statement. For many years | have
been afflicted with that fearful disease known as
"SpermatorrhGi." 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 an alarming
extent which was soon followed by the most
alarming symptoms. weakness OF the back and
limbs pain in the head. dnness OF vision, ner-
vousness and general debility My mind. too.
was afflicted to such an extent as to seriously i'm
pair my memory; my ideas were confused and
spirits depressed. | was averse to society, had
evil forebodings and selfdstrust and WAS entire
ly untitled for any Of the duties Of life From
| 1856 to the Summer of 1863 | employed the very
best medical talent could find, and sp 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 see him, as he charged nothing
for consultation. l 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 9Th of De-
ccmbcr last placed myself under his care; in
one week found myself very much improved,
! and now after five weeks treatment | feel my
! the enjoyment of the best health. Hoping that
my experience may be OF benefit to others SINH
| arly afflicted, | subscribe myself.
