OF DR.. Shades Success in Curing
Consumption
AND ARRESTING COMPLICATED
Throat and Lung Diseases, Has Reported
Twenty Interviews of Congressman, Doc
tors. Merchants, and Other Citizens
Who Have Been Cured by the
Mineral Treatment for Tu-
berculosis.

In reviewing the work done by The TINES
it is worthy OF uention that no one was per-
suaded or coaXed TO submit to an interview.
The score OF persons visited were alike
anxious TO saysomething that might lead some
one as unfortunately given up and forsaken
by their physicians as they were b fore con-
suting DR.. Shade. 1882 Fourteenth street.
The names and addresses of the persons
cured appeared with each interview when
they were given to the public through the
columns of The TIMES. We said at the first,
when we undertook this laborious, response
bic and philanthropic work. that if DIR. Shade
was deceiving the people with quack adver-
tisements it should not be tolerated And on
the other hand. if we found on thorough in
vestigation that Shade had made a discovery
that was arreSting that most fatal of all
diseases, consumption, the world should
know il, 'swhere ere the sun doth his success
siye Journeys run.
Now, we are prepared to say that quite
number of our citizens have been cured of
consumption and are living witnesses to what
was done for them. as well as witnesses to the
fact that their physicians did ali for them that
human skill could do, with the methods of
treatment in use by the regular profession.
The friends as well as tie patients themselves
positively declare that their doctors gave them
up to die up consumption. In the language
of DIR. Daniel Hagner, who attended Mr..
Brown, l40S Corcoran street, when he said:
Mrs. Brown. nothing on earth will save your
husband, for he is the last stages of con-
sumption. = -
Sc. it matters not whether some doctors
and their friends kick because a once 'regu-
lar" though now independent, physician, has
made a discovery tnat Is curing larger per-
centage of complicated lung and throat dis

that all other scientists were as narrow
minded and sectarian as some would-be
leader-of the blind-in the medical Irofes-
sion of to-day.
The farmer would still be swinging his old
cradle, scythe. sickle, fail. aud be compelled
to wagon or sled his products TO the market.
No iron horse, no steamboat, no telegraph or
telephone. no cable or electric street cars.
Yet We hear men say that all the machinery
and other inventions, the result OF aggressive
minds, is a curse to the country, aud they
long for the good old times when they could
wagon again from Pittsburg 10 Baltimore and
when the times were So much better. Just
such apes adorn the medical profession to-
day. Then there are others in the profession
with whom ii makes all the difference in the
world who the discoverer is. If il should
happen to be himself. then ii would be 0 K.

selisnness make him lose his equilibrium as

backbone to become Independent suffl-
ciently TO cut loose-and forever we hope
iron set of narrow-rEinded and
seemingly blinded set OF prejudiced doc
tors. We don't want to be understood
to infer that all physicians in regular prac-
tice are TO be considered in this class, not by
any means. But they are controlled, directly
or indirectly, by a set of one idea men. who
would not prescribe anything in the world for
their patient unless Drs. Jones or Smith sa
so in their text books. We are glad that there
are some men who are not content with
threshing wheat with a fail, plowing with
oxen, cutting grain with a sickle all their
lives or bleeding for every aiment that
humanftyis is heir TO; but those, who though
they seem TO be too aggressive for their day
and generation, are nevertheless bringing the
dawnlBg OF the -fort Incoming achievements in
curing diseases that have heretofore been in
curaJie frainthe beginning of time until the
present generation. We consider it not too
much for US TO say that DR.. Shade is OF this
class OF men, sincere and conscientious in his
work. hard worker from morning until
night, and whom we consider a born physi-
elan. In other words, man who found his
calling in life aud who is most undoubted
