l We come to YOU net entirely strangers

institute who we are where We come from
and what we are doing.
DIR. Kergan and the surgeons comprising
his stat. better known In the United states
and Canada as his International Medical
Council, engaged with him in conducting
the British-American Medical and Surgical
Institute, have for years been regarded as
the most reliable, most skillfuI and most
successful specialists III the treatment Of
all chronic diseases, deformitics and dis
eases peculiar &c men and women. In
America.
In 1873 our present Institution was
founded by DR.. Kersan in Detroit, aud has
from year to year grown In such rapid pro-
portions that at present staff OF % uedi-
cal and surgical experts Is required 20 at
tend the home and foreign patients. This
staff comprises men OF age, education, ex-
tepded experience and superior ability, all
being graduates OF leading English. Scotch,
French, Irish, German, Canadian aud
American universities and admitted 70 be-
come members of DR.. Kergan's Medical
Council only after they have proved in q
satisfactory manner that they have de-
ment of some particular disease or de-
formity, and obtained positive and sn-
perlor knowledge and success in diagnos-
ing and treating that disease or deformity.
Thousands of rare and obscure cases are
yearly treated by us, therefore, by the ex-
periencc received from treating SO many
cases, aided by all that medical science OF
to-day affords, IL can readily be seen why
IL Is that they are so successful In the cur
ing of all private and chronic diseases.
PRIVATE DISEASES.
IT is the duty OF every honorable physl-
clan 10 do all he can to relieve humsn suf-
fering and while such diseases exist we
deem ii our duty TO minister 70 their ale
Walton aud cure without questioning the
degree of depraYity which brought on the
trouble. Many men and women of pure
minds, who havs-neyer departed from the
paths Of virtue, have unconsciously con-
tractcd diseases which, sooner or later, viii
sap the springs OF life OF lay the founda
tion Of miserable old age, unless checked

In this class OF diseases, we can ia all sim
certify assure the afflicted that under our
treatment rapid cures are effected IN the
worst conceivable cases ia short time and
at reasonable cost. Remember that the
only danger comes from neglect or at
tempting TO cure yourself with prescrip-
tons that have proved successful IN eur

not let false modesty deter you from at
