all forms Of chronic disease. Having just re-
turned from Europe where he has for the past
TEN YEARS been devoting his time exclnsively
to the treatment Of patients in the principal
hospitals in France, England and Germany, he
can assure the afflicted that in all chronic dis

Female system.
Having, as above stated, made all the above
and their kindred complaints long lie study,
and having seen, personally examined and trea-
ted successfully hundreds OF cases afflicted with
each variety of these diseases, DR.. French feels
confident that in offering his services to the af
ficted world in this way, he is simply acting IN
the line of duty. He has desire to be any
thing less than STRICTLY HONORABLE with all
who may seek his aid. and will therefore still
adhere to the rule he adopted in early life. new

ho;p rSrr md
he does not wish to put any of this class to ex-
pense, he has devised way in which his opin
ion may be obtained free Of charge. The par
tculars in regard to this will be given under the
head Of Waste Of Time" All persons who
may think Of consulting DR.. French, should
| read this whole column before calling on him
| personally, or making up their minds what is
| best for them to do. The sick are 90 often dis
appointed in their search for means Of relief-so
often fattered by the dishonest and inspired
| with hopes that were never Yeali1ed-that it is
not matter Of wonder that they have in mahy
instances grown sick at heart and yielded to
despair. Dr.. French will deal honorabiy with
ALL. believing that always to be the best policy.
| His fees for treatment will be reasonable, and
not be reqsired from any patient until cure is
effected, ard his charge for medicines will be
only what they cost him.. His appointments

0rThe names of the hotels-at which DR.
French will stop while visiting the foregoing
cities have not been inserted because he must
necessarily change them from time to time

patients arc required to write him letter before
coming to see him and in his reply the name Of
the Hotel will be given. See the article below
headed 'Waste Of Time'I
Dr. F.'s object in making the foregoing visits
is to afford all parsons less expensive means
of treatment than if they were compelled 10
travel many hundreds of miles for that purpose.
