Gated lung and throat diseases by DR.. Shade,

quite number of prominent people in the
District who have been cured by the mineral
treatment Tor consumption, who with one ac-
cord give the treatment the highest praise and
invariably unite with DR.. Morgan, professor
OF lung diseases in the San Francisco Medical
College, Cal. who says that ''Dr. Shades dis
covery for consumption is the greatest dis
coyery in the medical world in this century"

Among the seventeen persons interviewed
and reported in the city papers cured of con-
sumption during the investigation conducted
by The TIMES since the 1st of October last,
j. i. johnson, esq, of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, is worthy of mention
for several reasons. Mr.. johnson is one of
the most skilled and reliable operators now
IN the employ of the Western Union, and for
this reason alone-aside from his other ac-
complishments and good qualities-the COM
pany is grateful, no doubt, that his life has
premature grave by the dread monster con-
sumption. Mr.. Johnson expressed himself
as follows in an interview a few DAYS ago:
Il took heavy cold at Richmond, Va, in
July. 1892. My cough became very severe
and annoyed me day and night. l consulted
one OF the most prominent physicians in the
District who has reputation on lung diseases.
L gradually got worse aud worse, until was so
run down from coughing, expectorating. and
losing my rest that l was scarcely able TO re-
port for duty at the Western Union Office on
Fifteenth street. The doctor finally tod me

was greatly discouraged and very much re-
duced physically. About this time learned
of Dr.. Shade through some friends who told
me OF number OF cases OF consumption who
had had been cured by him. (This was
year before DR.. Shade came out in the papers
announcing his discovery. / called upon
Mr. Brown, with Kennedys Sons. on Con-
necticut Avenue. who told me that his parents
died OF consumption; that he was given up as
hopeless consumptlye three years ago by
his friends and DR.. Daniel Hagner nov
dead; that he was reduced 10 ninety-ive
pounds in weight, swollen hands and feet,
short OF breath, large cavities in his lungs.
had tried change OF climate, got worse, and
that after six months treatment IN
der DR.. Shade he began improv-
Ing; that In one year he had gained
seventy pounds and is a well man to-day,
weighing los pounds And 1 may add that
Mr.. Brown is one OF the finest-looking gentle
men in this city and good advertisement for
DR.. Shade.
'Of course placed my case in the hands
of-who I call now-the greatest and most
successful lung specialist in this country. Ny
case. however, was stubborn. but l am glad
to say that after fight with consumption of
both lungs for over a year DR.. Shade has sue
ceeded in arresting the disease, and new
lease of life looms up before me. While l am
not n well man in every respect, can most
truthfuIly say that if 1 had not placed my
case in the hands of DR.. Shade l would nor
be living to-day. / am, however. feeling
strong and vigorous compared to my poor,
weakly condition six months or year ago.
l have gained thirty pounds in weight and
can walk without fatigue, and l am quite
good feeder compared to what / used TO be.
OF course I recommend DR.. Shade 10 the
poor consumpives, for il he can't cure them
they will never be cured. is my humble opin-
ion" ]. ". B.
