Examination Free to All.

Although the doctor is in many cases
compelled 20 use expensive instruments
and chemicals in making analyses, micro
scopic and other scientific examinations,
yet he makes no charges to anyone, belieV~
ing 1t to be part of the physicians duty
to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to locate monthly visit crowds flock to
see him. and no wonder, for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking a
question, he tells the invalid what the
trouble is, and the prospect Of a cure, and
most wonderful Of all he values his first
impression and first look at patient more
than all else, and DR.. Humphrey is never
mistaken In his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner In all re-
epccts. Following tho plan of st. Georges
Hospital OF London, he registers every
particular as to the patients physical con-
dition and mental state. The condition of
each organ, location of any and all dis
eascd parts, aud whether sympathetic or
organic, together with the amount and
nature of the disease. In this way the en-
computed and the restoring power of the
body measured against the force and en-
ergy and destructive capabilities OF the dis
ease. Thus knowing the actual condition
of the tissues and the effeUt of specific
medicines upon every structure of the
body, unlike most doctors, no Is enabled TO
say positively whether any given case is
durable or not, and can also give the ap-
proximate time and expense of treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
fusion cherished by many patients that
they ought to get well in few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have suffered for years.
