DIR O. G. W. Adams
Richmond Democrat.


This really remarkably nan who visited us last
absolutely depends for his practice his ability
to iagonose by lock OF hair cut from the head of
the party afflicted and sent TO him with three two
cent stamps OF course you will say this is impOssi-
ble hut for six cents you test it. Any afflicted
individual who will write aud send his letter from
this office-allowing one to handle the hair but
himsef-we will put in the postage il the diagnosis
proves incorrect. DR.. Adams made diagnosis Of sew
cral in our Office last week. including two ministers,
and invariably hit the nail on the head If you
write and the diagnosis proves incorrect yOu lose six
CENTS If he sends you medicine IL costs from e TO
81 month.
He has Iabratory and treats on the "yitApaihic
System, Life Principle" We are willing TO give
him the strongest editorial endorsement, as we have
tested his power thoroughly, Last year he treated
Thousands Of patients. If he cannot cure you he
says SO I'm his diagnosis. The proof Of the pudding
in chewing the bag and the Doctors whole success
hangs on his giving the proof Of his power He is
graduate of two medical schools but follows none Of
them.
DIAGNOSIS.
The above editorial speaks for
itself. We have heard good deal
about the "power of the press" 1t
has often been the subject of discus
sion, which, welded the greatest
power the sword or the press. In
speaking of the press we suppose
the Richmond Democrat is counted
in, and it has here lent Its aid to de-
ceive its patrons; has given its
editorial endorsement (big thing)
to the most errant humbug and fraud
ever advertised in a newspaper.
We have read of imposters who
could deceive the "very elect" and
it seems from this editorial that such
had got stuck on this hair diagnosis.
ClergYmen have always considered
it a part of their business to cast out
devils and heal the sick consequent

endom. The scriptures inform US
that "God hath chosen the weak
things of the world to confound the
wise.' This scripture is verified
right in Richmond by these two fools.
As there will be no idiots in hell these
two divines are safe.
We had thought il the duty Of the
press to keep its patrons posted on
frauds and deceptions. But, alas !!
here is an editor who acknowledges
that for few dollars he gives his
(and two ministers) editorial en-
dorsement to the most ridiculous
fraud ever attempted to be imposed
on any community.
This editor says: 'This adver-
tisement will be kept standing"
While it stands it will be a standing
monument to his idocy or Infamy.
Which is it? If he believes in this
hair business he is fool, and If he
don't and gives it his "strong( p
editorial endorsement" for money
he is scoundrel.
Judas sold out for thirty pieces of
silver. Behold a greater than Judas
is here. We have been told that
Richmond people were tony that the
elite of Missouri lived there. If
this be true, this 'strong( y editori-
al edorsment'' of this hair fraud is
an insult to every patron of his pa
per. This editor may be very s'hard.
up" editors generally are) and
have to resort to all sorts Of knayery
to make an honest living. Still, we
doubt the propriety of his giving his
strongest editorial endorsement"
to a scheme to rob his patrons Of

| Diagnosis is big thing In medi'
cine. The ability to diagnose cor
rectly constitutes the chief differ.
ence among doctors.
Bald headed men need not apply
to this doctor. Poor fellowsl There
is no diagnosis for you! If you car
get prognosis, take it.
OF all the fools beneath the sun
None can eclipse Jim Anderson.
