Of over twenty Ave years experience in tho treat
ment Of all chronic diseases to which the people Of
this or any country are subject, who has at this

sound chimerleal to many, but tine evidence can
be procured at DR.. j. rs Office 10 prove every word
true. 1t is also asserted, on the most reliable au
thority, that one physician in this or any other
country on the globe, Of whatever age position,
has ever seen, examined and prescribed for one
half the number Of patients thar DR.. Hamilton
has. Again, it must not be supposed that Dr..
Hamilt0n's treatment consists in Patent Medicines,
or fs'r pet Compound, recommended 70 cure al
the ills that aesh is subject TO- On the contrary,
Dr. HIS prescriptions and spesifc compounds are
always made up chemically and specifically for
each individual case, as they are presented to
him, either 10 person or By etter-either Of which
is sufficient if the combination Of symptoms are
properly presented, according to the directions
given in this article.
Again No MINERAL remedies are used in any
case by DR.. Hamilton consequently patients are
safe from those horrible mineral p0isous so much
used by some physicians
