DIR. A. N. French. formerly of New York
City. respectfully announces thatAe has resum-
ed practice and will, for many years to come,
visit monthly nearly all Of the principal cities
of the Union at stated periods for treatment OF
all forms OF chronic disease. Having just res
turned from Europe where he has for the past
TEN YEARS been devoting his time exclusively
to the treatment Of patients in the principal
hospitals in France, England and Germany, he
can assure the afflicted that in all chronic dis
eases he can safely be relied upon. Among the
chronic ailments which he cures he would men
ton the following.
All diseases of the Liver, usually called Liver
Complaint, all affections Of the Lungs, such as
Consumption, .Coughs. Bronchitis. Loss of Voice.
Sore Throat, Asthma. etc., etc Dyspepsia or
Sourness of the Stomach after meals, Splitting
up of Food, Be!ching of Wind. Constipation oil
the Bowels. Sick Headache, Neuralgia in every
form, all affections of the Kidneys and Bladder,
Rheumatism. Dropsies Palpitation Of the Heart,
Epilepsy Fits. Scrofula. all diseases of the
Blood, Eruptions, Salt Rheum, GeneI (. Debili-
ty. Nervousness, and alldiseases peculiar to the
Female system.
Having, as above stated, made all the above
and their kindred complaints long lite study,
and having seen, personally examined and trea-
ted successfully hundreds OF cases afflicted with
each variety OF these diseases, DIR. French feels
confident that in offering his services to the af-
hictcd world in this way, he is simply acting IN
the line of duty. He has no 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
to f1aiter the sick and inspire hopes of recov>
cry. unless the case admits of no doubt in that
respect. Many cases being INcURABLE. and as
he does not wish to pat any OF this class to ex-
pense. he has devised way in which his opin-
ion may be obtained free of charge. The par
ticulars 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. fhe sick are so often dis.
appointed in their search for means Of relef-sO
often fattered by the dishonest and inspired
with hopes that were never realized-that it is
not a matter Of wonder that they have in many
instances grown sick at heart and yielded to
despair. Dr.. French will deal honorably with
ALE, believing that always to be the best policy.
His fees for treatment will be reasonable, and
not be repaired from any patient until a cure is
effected, and his charge for medicines will be
only what they cost him. His appointments
as follows:
NEW YORK CITY. the first day of each
month.
PHILADELPHIA, PENN, the second day
of each month.

ETThe Names of the hotels at which DR.
French will stop while visiting the foregoing

necessarily change them from time to time

patients are 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
