came under my treatment, found not only the

reasonable TO suppose that any local treatment can
effect permanent cures7 To those who do not
understand the subject, it certainly would appear
that medicines applied TO the parts whore the most
trouble is experienced would produce the most
good. But j; should be remembered that the cause
ofcisease is not always where the most trouble or
pain is felt. One may stick nail in the foot and
die Of lockjaw. We strike elbow and il tin
giles IN the finger ends. No effects take place
without cause and effects will cease until the
cause j. removed. That proper local treatment 10
n great assistance to constitutional treatment We
DO not deny. But that local trestmet alone 10
sufficient 10 remove the causes of the diseases az
ter il has become chronic is simply absurd. This
disease III i,s chronic form at its commencement
by appropriate treatment can certainly be perman-
ently cured. And even in cases of many years
standing, where there was but little grounds for
hope, have succeeded in establishing healthy ac-
ton. No one should despair ef a recovery. Al
though the case may appear past hope, it may not
be too late Try, good often comes when and
where We least expect it. Certainly no one can
scarcely expect that the treatment adapted to cure
disease in its early stages, viii be as certain in
its results in the latter stages. When these or

have had ample opportunities of ofinvestigating the
causes, s. mptoms, tendency and treatment such
ailments. An intelligent public must see that
those who make chronic diseases a special treat
