NEW ADVERTISEMENTS

While it is impossible to avoid attacks Of
| illness and to finally conquer the great de-
| stroyer, Death, there is abundant evidence
to prove that there are agencies within the
reach of skill and science capable of cor
recting the tendencies of disease and re-
storing enfeebled energies to their healthy
functions. Life certainly cannot be made
perpetual; but it can doubtless be prolonged
by judicious treatment, and misery and suf-
fering can be prevented. The idea that dis
ease will spend itself without the aid OF
medical skill is as absurd as to suppose that
the laws Of nature are without purpose and
direction. It is the same in the animal as
in the vegetable kingdom. When tree
shows signs Iof weakness or decay it is BY
care that its vitality is restored. Leave it
alone and the process of decay will ad-
vance, and in q short time . dead
trunk only will remain. But at
tend to it, water its roots, protect 1t
from blighting winds, etc., and it will again
flourish as if it had never given evidence Of
feebleness. So it is with the human, being;
for if nothing be done to control colds,
fevers, lung, liver and kidney affections,
and thousand and one other diseases to
which flesh is heir, they are certain to OBJ
tain headway, break down the most yigor-
GUS constitutions, and, after q longer or
end life. Thousands die every year from
neglect resulting from carelessness, preju-
dice, or some other blameable cause. Fam
lilies are depleted, fond ties severed, tortur-
ing anxieties produced, and endless miseries
protracted from one generation to another by
reason of overlooking the commencement of
disease and delaying medical treatment.
Fatal beyond conception is this carelessness
in regard to health and life, for without
health there can be no happiness, and when
life ends-all is darkness and mystery.
After carefully considering these circum-
stances every one will recognize the import
ance of consulting a skillful and expert
enced physician as soon as the existence of
any disease is detected. To delay is always
dangerous, and may prove fatal. The prin-
cipal point to decide is the choice Of doc
tor. Advanced medical science alone, as
practised by DR.. Woods, can meet the de-
mands of the case, and he wishes to impress
upon young and old alike the importance of
retaining, if possessed, and regaining, if lost,
the full force of physical and nervous ener-
gy. DIR. Woods thoroughly understands
the treatment of such cases, as is proved by
the fact that large number Of young peo-
pie who consulted him when in state of
debility have regsined powerful constitu-
tions He likewise gives attention to people
advanced in age whose systems have lost
vitality Broken down constitutions come
within one of his greatest specialties as
practicing physician, and the amount Of
good he has done in restoring health and
strength is simply incalculable. The first
principle of his treatment is to stop the dis
ease and then restore the vital organs to
their proper functions. He repairs and
builds up the constitution, SO that the whole
system is made new. The truth of this Is
shown by the fact that his patients gain
from 10 to 80 pounds in from one to three
months.
DIR. Woods can refer to hundreds of we'll
known and influential citizens whom he has
restored to perfect health after their diseases
were considered inourable, and in many in
stances they had given up all hope Of ever
realizing the sense of good health again.
When possible the doctor prefers to see.
his patients; but when this is impossible his
successful system of treatment by cor
respondence enables the afflicted in all parts
of the world to avail themselves Of the bene-
fit of his skill at very small cost. Send 4
cents in stamps for question list. All COM
munications sacredly confidential. No
charge for advice. Examinations are also
free to those who desire treatment.
