through the rarlor Of leading hotel and
noticed seate q in quiet rspose n gentleman
Of fne and friendly face. whom he imme-
diately recognized as DR.. sweany. and
was af once impressed with the idea of

after thanking him for his courtesy.
thought the proper time had come and
began his interview. "weil. Doctor. you
must be making some great cures here IN
Seattle by al the good reports I hear of
you around the city," His face iEnmcdl-
ately changed from, its expression OF hearty
good nature 10 one OF quiet and deep
thought, as of q man whose mind is
wrapped up in an all-absorbing study.
Yes" he at length replied. II suppose
you do run across many OF the patients
whom / have cured. They are
grateful, and feel that they must say
times affect your practices Doctor r. We'll.
if they did 1t was not noticeable. for my
Offices have been nearly always crowded.
OF course. there has been great deal OF
sickness, and then you know / treat so
many cases that other physicians have
given up as hopeless, which have all
helped TO keep me very busy"
Doctor where were you practicing be-
fore you came to Scatter"
I'm Philadelphia, Pa. / have also had
extensive practice in the leading hospitals
of the country, among them the Louis
vile, KY. City Hospital, the Cincinnati
City Hospital. the Jefferson Medical Hos
pital of Philadelphia, the University Med
icsl Hospital Of Vest Philadelphia, and
the Medical College of Indianapolis, Ind,
under the most learned scientific praeti-
iioners in speciality cases. / am wholly
absorbed in my profession, and of the
thousands of difficult cases have treated
may simply say, in justice to myself,
that have been invariably successful"
"You are evidently graduate of num-
Der of colleges ~
20, yes. My diplomas can be seen
hanging on the " alis of my Office They
are from the best medical colleges in the
land. No physician can show q better or
more successful record among his pa
TENTS"
What is your speciality, doctor?"
~ address myself particularly to young
ard middie-sged men who are suffering
from nervous debility. In this distressed
condition are many thousands, who.
although originally strong in body and
bright in mind. have permitted their all
ment to run on and on until finally. with
physical and mental powers exhausted,
death must claim them unless they take
the proper kind of treatment The most
obstinate cases of this character ! treat
with unfaiiing success. All / want is a
fair trial 10 convince the most skepticaL
/ use no injurious drugs. and undertake
no ncurable cases"
DO YOU treat patients at distance,
Doctor2"
You would think so If you we're to see
my mail. / receive large number of let
tsrs daily from ell sections from those who
wish treatment and others now under my
care. All that is necessary for persons at
a distance TO do is to describe their troubles
10 me by letter, and suitable remedies will
be sent to them free from observation 10
any part of the country. OF course, Q per-
soma visit is desirable where possible"
II presume you have many testimonials
of cures effected, Doctorf"
"Yes, thousands from all parts Of the
world-many of them from most prom
inent business men of this city,"
Gould you let me have few Of these
names for publications."
"whatl No, sir, not If you offered me =
thousand dollars apiece. Nothing could
persuade me TO allow the name or one OF
my patients or their diseases published,
tor when . sick man or woman sits in .
physicians private Office and tells him
confidentialiy their troubles 1t 10 the
greatest breach Of professional dignity for
him TO make it public. Itiss strict rule
with me TO keep absolutely secret all pro-
fessional dealings"
The substance OF informs alton which the
writer was able to learn from the doctor
was that the most Of his wonderful cures
had been n ade in the following diseases
Nervous. chronic and private diseases OF
every nature. blood and skin diseases, fs-
male complaints. kidney. bladder. STRIFE
ture, liver, lung, throat, stomach and
heart diseases, piles. rupture, hydrocels,
