SPECIFIC HOMEOPATHY, is the discovery of
Dr. Humphreys, made some ten years ago.
He fouRd that by the combination Of certain
well-known Homeopathic agents, he could
form Specifics for certain well-known diseas-
es, and following up his discoveries, has form
ed an entire series of Specifics, covering ev-
cry well known or simple disease or morbid
condition, that is likely to occur in families.
SO that under his system, every family may
always have at hand the means Of preserving
health, by arresting the first appearance of
disease Invalids may likewise find in his
family cases or list Of remedies, the particu-
lar specifics adapted to their wants, and may
thus treat themselves with degree of sue
cess and economy unknown by any other
mt .hod. Nor is this mere suppositOn These
Specifics have been in use for many years
past in thousands Of families and individual
cases. and have demonstrated beyond the
possibility of successful contradiction, their
wonderful curative properties, and ability TO
substantiate all that is claimed for them
Thus the system comes no longer as men,
dicant seeking dubious charity, but as a con-
queror demanding your respect and chal-
longing your scrutiny,
The doses are ridiCulously small but if they
cure that should be q recommendation rath-
er than an objection Granting that you may
not be able TO explain the phenomenon, yet,
YOU are DOHIu 10 lDt lutl, bllcn IL
be. In the world of science the rationale fol-
lows the fact, often very slowly. II is the
business OF the adept, not the novice, TO de-
eide the question Of dose IL more we're re-
quired, more would be given, and the much
IL not given, because the much is not requir-
ed. IL IL conceivable that the Cura i've proper
ties Of medicine are some thing quite dis
tinct from its poisonous ones, and that the
curative virtues are only developed by our

poisonous properties are destroyed. Homeo-
pathy, however, is not small doses, though it's
successful application does require the exhi-
bition OF medicines diyested of their poison
ous properties. II yourself and family may
be cured Of pain and disease promptly and
permanently, without being drugged or poi
soned, surely you have occasion for gratitude,
and humanity has gained somewhat.
The advantages of these Specifics for fami-
lies and for invaids can scarcely be over
stated. A child IL attacked at night or sud-
denly with .feUer, which may result in some
serious malady The mother at once admin
listers a few fever pills from her Case
Of Specifics, and in lew hours the fever and
pain Ia gone, and the child Is well. A child
awakes at night with rough, loud, danger
GUS Croupy cough, soon followed by fever and
difficult breathing; few Group pills are
given, and the child lays down TO sleep, and
is soon relieved, and in gentle perspiration,
and by morning every trace of fhe disease is
gone, and the patient IL well again. A threat
ening diarrhna or dysentery comes on-afew
pellets OF the proper Specific, and in few
hours the disease has vanished. The cure In
effected without hurry, alarm, or excitement,
and without tho slightest arrangement of
the system. This procedure may be repeated
with like results In almost every instance of
sickness or disease 10 which family is liable;
and where an absolute cure is not effected,
still time and opportunity are afforded TO OBJ.
serve the case and send for the medical man.
