DR.. SHADES DISCOVERY
UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Quite an Undertaking and Rcspon-
r. sibility.

In the course OF its investigation as to the
reliability OF the claims made by DR.. n. B.
Shade as to his ability to cure that most
dreaded of diseases, consumption, it has been
deemed advisable to ferret out such cases as
have como under his direct charge and learn
from the patient personally to what extent, ii
any, they have been benefited. Before going
further It is only fair to state that THE TIMES
has called upon DIR. Shade at his ONCE, 1882
Fourteenth street, and found In him a man
thoroughly conscientious and honestly sin
cere In his conviction that no has discovered
the true and only treatment by which con-
sumption can be cured. In speaking OF his
infectious diseases DR.. Shade says he has Sc
cured the most gratifying results from plain
and feasible treatment, outlined as follows:
ID Remove the csuse-that is, break up
the soil in which the germs develop. In doing
this the predisposition or susceptibility,
whether inherited or acquired, is greatly
modined, and In some cases wholly annihi-
lated.
(2) Restore the power Of assimilating food,
and thereby increase the volume and improve
the quality OF food.
(3) Repair damaged lung and throat tissue
From among a score or moro of names fur
nished THE TIMES man that OF W. Sanford
Brown was selected as being the first on
whom to call. Mr.. Brown was found busily

at leisure he very courteously gave the fol-
lowing information: II frat learned Of DIR.
Shade through an article that appeared in q
medical journal, which had In some manner
found it's way to my room in country house
In Virginia, where had been sent by DIR. Dan
Hagner, under whose treatment had been
for nearly a year. and who had sent me out
into the country TO rest, and seemingly to die.
DR.. Hagner wEs an old practitioner, skilled
In lung and throat troubles He had worked
very hard on my case, without beneficial re-
suit, and had finally told my wife that twas
no use would have TO die; that nothing on
earth could save me- l personally did not
have much hope. My mother and sister had
both died of consumption, and had fallen in
weight from 173 pounds to less than 100. My
legs and arms were swollen and l was
scarcely able to drag one leg after the other.
Notwithstanding all this, while there's life
there's hope, and determined TO call upon
Dr. Shade, as l was much impressed by the
article which had read. / at that time was
in the last stages Of consumption, and it was
not without some misgivings that undertook
the journey. /, however. finally reached
Washington, and Immediately called upon
Dr. Shade, who did not offer great encour-
agement, but told me that II / would follow
his Instructions and bear patiently with him

much improvement, but after that my cough

cure for consumption.
