q Having, as above stated, made all the above
and their kindred complaints long lite study,
and having seen, personally examined and treA-
cases
each variety of these diseases, DIR. 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 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
er to aatter 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
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 so often dis
appointed in their search for means Of relief--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 viii deal henorably with
ALL, believing that always to be the best policy.
| His fees for treatment will be reasonable, and
not be reqaired from any patient until cure is
effected, and his charge for medicines will bo
only what they cost him. His appointments
are as follows:
NEW YORK CITY, the first day of each
month. hs ae 8

| IThe names of the hotels at which DR..
French will stop while visiting the foregoing
| cities have not bsen inserted because he must
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
headed Waste of Tine.,l sse 6aa
DR.. F.'s object in making the foregoing visits
is to afford all parsons a less expensive means
of treatment than if they were compelled to
travel many hundreds of miles for that purpose.
