Private Diseases.

Under this head we have had ex-
traordinary success. The large
number of such cases coming to us
and the expressions Of delight in
getting relief so quick and safe, are
remarkable. Specific Blood Poison
(Syphilis) can be entirely eradicat-
ed from the system, and our treat
ment OF this terrible disease will
cure every durable case, and the
results we are having are proof
enough. In Unnatural orlDiseased
Discharges a treatment is used
that is new, and is in fact the One
rational treatment for this distress
ing trouble. We have cured cases
with this treatment that have
been treated in the East, West,
South and North, and have tried
doctors and patent medicines al
most without limit, besides having
years of suffering and waste of
money and time. Remember, this
Is an entirely new treatment, and
Is not used by any other specialist
or physician in the country.
1t will pay you to see us if you
are suffering from any of the above
troubles.

DISEASES OF WOMEN.
"Woman's Weakness"

A new and systematic method
In the diseases peculiar to women
we employ an entirely new and
unexcelled method, one pro.
claimed in all the leading hospit.
ais of the East and Europe to be
superior in every feature to any
system known in all the ages past
We feel in thus adopting this
system that we can earnestly and
heartily recommend every lady
suffering from uterine or ovarian
troubles of any kind, or any other
form of female weakness, not to
fail by any means to avail them
selves of the chance to be cured.
These painful and distressing
troubles which make the life of a
woman most miserable, and lay
the foundation for a premature
death, are brought under special
line of treatment, which affords
immediate relief and most pleas
ant and etfectual cure.
