The Times" Has Undertaken a Response.
bility Which Proves TO Be a Bless
ing TO Mankind.

THE TIMES undertook in September last to
investigate the ability of DR.. Shade, 1882
Fourteenth street, a specialist in lung and
throat diseases, who had announced that he
had made a discovery for consumption called
the mineral treatment" We have inter-
viewed eighteen persons already, who de-
clare they have been cured by him. Several
of the number are physicians, who have
practiced medicine for years; others are
business men, professional, and Congress-
men. But of all the cases interviewed none
possibly-go farther to prove Dr. Shades
ability TO cure consumption-rhan the case of
". Sandford Brown. 1406 Corcoran street. Mr..
Brown was treated for more than year by
one OF the most celebrated lung specialists in
this country. who told Mr.. Browns family
and numerous other friends that he was in
the last stages Of consumption and could not
possibly recover. His physician sent him
away hoping a change of climate might
possibly prolong his lie. He came home to
die. the last ray of hope having well-nigh
fed, when some friend sent him the Medical
World, journal which contained an article
written by Dr. \. B. Shade, on his discovery.
This inspired fresh hope, and Mr.. Brown
placed himself under the skill oil DR.. Shade,
and as all his friends say, escaped prema-
ture grave. The following will explain the
result of taking the mineral treatment for
consumption.
TIE TIMES man found Mr.. Brown husily
engaged at the store of George E. Kennedy,
ZIG Connecticut avenue. As soon as he was
at leisure he very courteously gave the fol-
lowing Information:
Il first learned of DR.. Shade through an
article that appeared in medical journal
which had in some manner found lis wav to
my room in country house in Virginia,
where / had been sent by Dr. Dan Hagner
under whose treatment / had been for nearly

country to rest and seemingly to die DR.
Hagner was an old practitioner, skilled In
lung and throat troubles He had worked
very hard on my casewithout beneficial re-
suit, and had finally tod my wife that twas
no use,' would have to die; that nothing on
earth could save me. personally did not
have much hope. My mother and sister had
both died of consumption and / had fallen in

able TO drag one leg after the other. Not
withstandlng all this, while there's life there's
hope, and l determined TO call upon DR.
Shade, as / was much impressed by the article

the last stages of consumption and it was not
without some misgrvings that l undertook
the journey. /, however. finally reached
Washington, and Immediately called upon DR..
Shade, who did not offer great encourage
ment, but told me that if l would follow his
instructions and bear patiently with him all
might be well. This was in April, 1892, For
the first three months l did not show much
Improvement. but after that my coughing
grew less and l grew stronger and better

make up for lost time. I want to say finally
that / consider DIR. Shades cure marvel,
and II would be a shame if his methods were
not given all the publicity possible. The
TIMES Is certainly doing suffering humanity
a good turn in drawing public attention to
him and his wonderful cure for consump-
