The object in establishing this Institution
was TO attain the greatest perfection in the
preparation, practice and use of Vegetable
Remedies, and to secure a permanent place
where Families, Invalids, or any person could
obtain the best medical advice, and such rem
edies as each might require, without the use
of poisonous drugs.
Dir. Greene has been Physician of the lnsti-
tute since its foundation, now more than
twenty-five years. Few men have had so
large experience in the treatment of chronic
diseases, DR.. Greene is in his fifty-ffth year
and has devoted his life to this branch of his
profession, and his success, we believe is with
out parallel.
Among the diseases to which he gives es-
pecial attention may be noticed Cancer, Scrof-

Rheumatism, Paralysis, Spinal Diseases, Dys-
