HOMEOPATHY Ia the only true system Of
medicine based upon the laws OF nature. Sew.
enty:hyo years Of experience have proven that
saved.
Homeopathy cures all durable diseases per.
manently,. which have resisted the skill OF the
best practitioners Of any OF the old medical sys-
tenn for years.
Homeopathy aims TO eradicate disease entire
y; to cure sure and easy, without bleeding,
6listering, cauterlzing or dragging: TO prolonY
life and lessen tho number Of sick days.
