)R. SHADES DISCOVERY
UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Quite an Undertaking and Respon-
Sibility.

In the course of its investigation as to the
reliability OF the claims made by DIR. 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 come 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 DR. Shade at his office, 1882
Fourteenth street, and found in him a man
thoroughly conscientious and honestly sin
cero in his conviction that he has discovered
the true and only treatment by which con-
sumption can be cured. In speaking of his
success in the treatment of this most fatal Of
infectious diseases DIR. Shade says he has Sc
cured the most gratifying results from plain
and feasible treatment, outlined as follows
G) Remove the cause-that is. break up
the soil in which the germs develop. In dong
this the predisposition or susceptibility,
whether inherited or acquired, is greatly
modified and in some cases wholly annihi-
lated.
CO Restore the powers Of assimilating food,
and thereby increase the volume and improve
the quality of food.
90 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
engaged at the store of George L. Kennedy,
1l16 Connecticut avenue. As soon as he was
at leisure he very courteously gave the fol-
lowing information: "I first learned OF DR..
Shade through an article that appeared in a
medical journal. which had IN some manner
found its way to my room in country house
in Virginia, where | had been sent by DR.. Dan
Hagner, under whose treatment / had been
for nearly a year, and who had sent me out
into the country to rest. and seeminglyto die.
DIR. Hagner was 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. Ny
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 / was much impressed by the
article which / had read. l 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 il l would follow
his instructions and bear patiently with him
all might be we'll. This was in April, 1892
For the first three months | did not show
much improvement. but after that my cough
ing grew less and / grew stronger and better
from day to day until February 1893, when |
was discharged from the Doctors care as per-
fectly cured. You see | am in evidence to-
day. and can do as good If not better day s
work than ever before In fact. I've got to,
for it stands me in hand 10 make up for lost
time l want to say finally that l consider
Dr. Shades cure a marvel, and it would be a
shame if his methods were not given all the
publicity possible. THE TIMES is certainly
doing suffering humanity good turn draw
ing public attention TO him and his wonderful
cure for consumption"
