A GREAT DISCOVERY.
A Cure for Rheumatism Now
a Known Fact.
DIR. PLOUF ACHIEVES HONOR.
He Is Now in the City and Explains
the Nature Of the Dis
cCvery.

A gentleman arrived in this city Few
days ago who has distinguished himself Dy
making discovery that ranks as the most
important one recorded in the annals OF
medical science for number of years. Dr.
j. E. Plouf is his name, and he is the Tor
tunate mortal whom the fates have ordained
to give to the world the only known cure Tor
rheumatism.
For generations the medical fraternity
has been wrestling with this malady, as
they have with consumption and other sup
posed incurabe ailments. but it remained
for Dir. Plouf OF Seattle to come to the
front with q medicine that is destined to
make rheumatism as scarce as cholera cases
are in this glorious climate"
The gentleman, whose name will soon DC
probably as well known as those Of DR..
Koch and Pasteur, is just from Seattle,
which city he has been electrifying during
the past year through the remarkable cura-
tive properties of the remedy A Chronicle
representative was detailed yesterday 10
obtain fuller information concerning the
nature of the new discovery. for the pub
lished accounts and reports that reacneo
this city from Seattle were so remarkable
in character as to be almost incredible.
DR.. Plouf was found in his office IN the
Nucleus block, and he readily placed at the
disposal OF the reporter information OF a
positive character which thoroughly con-
frmed the rumors of cures so extraordinary
as to be considered in the light OF the mira
culOus.
These, said the doctor, taking ND a
large bundle of documents. "are the testl-
monials OF people in Seattle and vicinity
who have. much to their delight, gwen
the medicine successful test. You VIII
notice that they are each attested to by
notary public and that the affidavits are
made before different notareS.
In response to question DR.. Plout
stated that lie made the discovery during
the course Of his practice as a regular
physician, practice which was the largest
in Seattle, and was the result OF three
years work.
''At first" said he, 81 was not really
positive that the cure was an infallible
one, but after l had tested it on all kinds
of cases, some of which were of twenty
years standing, and the medicine worked
like a charm in all of them, / was then
convinced that my discovery was more
important than l had supposed. Its COM
position is, Of course, a secret. but | will
say that the treatment is based on new
theory as to the origin aud nature OF
rheumatism. The common practice has
been to treat it externally. The new
remedy works internally"
The reporter was also shown indorse-
ments from the daily press of Seattle and
inquiries both from the East and Europe
for the remedy, showing that the fame OF
the discovery has gone abroad.
II have yet" concluded the new medical
luminary, to come across case which this
medicine will not positively cure. 1t cures
only rheumatism. but it cures all kinds and
does it for all time. If the Chronicle can
find a person whose rheumatism will not
yield to this medicine L will present him
with S1000.-San Francisco Chronicle.
