the private classes Of W. Il. Miller, NJ u,
professor of urinary diseases. Here he re-
ceived special Instructions in the treatment
OF diseases of the kidneys and bladder, ana
deyoting much time to the study OF chen1l-
cal and microScopical analysis OF urine.
After completing his second course under
Dr.. Miller he became surgical ASSISTANT TO
h. f. Bigger, A. NJ, NJ D., Professor OF Dis
eases of Women in the G. II. II. College, and
well-known surgeon of national reputa-
ton. A stay OF over year with Prof. Big
ger gave DR.. Shafer abundant opportunities
to study the private methods OF TINS we'll
known physician and surgeon. His daily
experience at the operating table in the
wards and private departments of the hos
pltal ahorded advantages seldom enjoyed
by physician. 1t is almost needless TO say
that much of DR.. Shafer's success is due to
his large hospital experience and thorough
knowledge of homeopathic medicine.
His ONCE is supplied with the latest epplt-
ances for the successful treatment OF dis
ease, among which may be mentioned his
battery, which is the most complete cleo
trical apparatus in the city. Hereafter pa
tients will receive electrical treatment free
of charge.
Perhaps no one could be more grateful to
physician than Miss Kittie Hanrahan, re-
siding on Lincoln avenue, Butler, Pa In
speaking of her case she said: "When be-
gan treatment with DR.. Shafer l had not
seen well day for four years, and during
that time took treatment from eight doc
tors, but all failed to arrest my disease or
give me relief. At first l noticed q gradual
loss of strength. Soon my head began to
ache from morning till night. Backache be-
came an annoying feature, and at times
was so weak across my kidneys that could
not walk. soon began to have pain in my
liver, appetite failed, tongue became coated
and had q horrid taste in my mouth. al
ways felt tired and weak in the morning,
and often felt a disagreeable sensation nmy
stomach, and was greatly annoyed by con-
slant rumbling of gas. As my disease grew
worse 1 experienced creeping sensation
up my back, along the spine and had
flashes AT
was scarcely able to walk, my nervous
system became shattered and 1 would take
sinking spells and not be aole to move =
muscle or speak word. would get these
spells regularly each month and scarcely
recover from the prostratiOn of one at
tack before would get another. The strong
allopatnic medicine destroyed my stomach
SO that scarcely any food could be retained,
and every dose l took made me worse. l
made up my mind that the doctors should
experiment on me Dolonger and stopped all
treatment. While my sister was IN Pitts
burg she called on Dr. Shafer for an opinion
of my case. He assured her that could be
cured At her earnest request L consented
to give him trial Imagine NV surprise
when noticed improvement the first week.
This continued and to-day enjoy the best
of health. His medicine was pleasant to
take and did not disturb my stomach. 1

owe my life. "KIrTIE HANRAHAN."
