DR.. SHADES DISCOVERY
For Consumption Investigate Con-
tinued.
A JOKE ON SOMEBODY.
Seven Physicians Of This City Pronounced a
Lady Hopeless Consumptive" Who
Was Cured by DR.. Shade Two
Years Ago.

THE TIMES man has had quite an interest
ing as well as instructive experience with doc
tors and other citizens since he has under
taken the responsible and laborious task Of
interviewing eight persons SO far cured of
consumption by DR.. Shade, 1882 Fourteenth
street. Some say-even doctors say-that
$50 and SO had consumption, and we all ex-
pected him to die, but now, since cured, we
doubt whether it really was consumption, for
II he had it he would have died, but because
he is we'll again and enjoying life he could not
have had il" This is the argument OF some
so-called NJ. d. g. They say, furthermore,
''the mere fact that this or that person got
well is evidence that it was not consumption.
and we are compelled TO acknowledge that
We were mistaken in our diagnosis"
While ii is not claimed by any one that
physicians are not liable to err in their dag
nosis, yet nobody IN this city will believe for
one moment that seven physicians of the
District of Columbia coutd all be mistaken in
the case OF Mrs. Bender, 1882 Sixth street
northwest, who was given up as a hopeless
consumptiye by all of them during her five
years OF illness, all of whom, no doubt. are
full tledged' members OF the medical asso-
citation and enjoy all the honor and glory Of
"DoctOrem in arts medendi." Also Melchor
Ledy, OF Cearfoss, Md, who was abandoned
to his supposed fate by six HaSerstoWn and
Baltimore doctors We're they all mistaken
now dead, in error. too when he told Mr..
Browns friends-I203 Thirteenth street north
west-that his case was OF the worst form of
consumption and that he was doomed.
DR.. Hagner had Mr.. Browns case in hand
over one year, and was the family physician,
and nobody in or out of the profession who
knew the doctor would doubt his ability to
tell u consumptiye from an ordinary invalid.
Then there is Mr. Carbaugh, of Blocks Gap,
Pa, who WAS pronounced a case Of gallOping
consumption by dozen doctors. All these
cases were cured by DR.. Shade after four to
nine months treatment, and they are living
and well to-day, enjoying life for the past one
and two years.
The TIMES reporter has from good au-
thority that two Of the ply siciaus who at
tended Mrs. Bender are honest enough TO
acknowledge Dr. Shades ability to cure con-
sumption by calling on him in consultation
in regard to several of their consumptive
patients who did not respond TO treatment in
their hands also. have sent DR.. Shade several
patients Tor treatment. So that the mere as
sertion that some parties make about persons
cured of consumption. as not having mad the
dread disease, can be traced 10 either fools
or knaves' who don't know what they are
talking about or don't care what they say.
Such people have been in the way OF ali
progressive science from the beginning Of az
gressire thought. inventions. and discoveries
since tlie GhbS OF Slf IalaC Newton, harvey,
Jenner Koch, and Shade also.
~ prophet IS not without honor. save in
his own country So, in conclusion, it only
remains 10 be said: II these parties who were
pronounced hopeless consumptiyes. and are
living and enjoying life to-day. that their
marvellous escape from premature graves was
not due to the many physicians who
abandoned them 10 the fate OF an unknown"
or ''nameless disease. and now they are not
men enough to acknowledge that DR.. Shades
knowledge in the pathology OF disease, and
success i'll arresting such ''non-consumptive"
diseaaes, as they call it. is superior to the old
way of treating consumption with cod liver
oil, quinine, and whisky. which was pre-
scribed freely by their physicians before they
came into DIR. Shades hands
III all these parties would have died as was
expected, by their friends as well as doctors.
1t would have been Q. X. Il told YOU So
they had consumption. why. didn't l tell
you so and so was a hopeless consumpuve?
Certainly l did, - the doctors would have
said and it would have been the truth. for all
consumptives die if they are not cured and
nobody can expect TO be cured by physicians
who do not understand the disease and who
believe it is not 4 durable disease. These
doctors who send their patients of TO get rid
OF them never cure anybody of consumption.
Distance lends encbantment" but does not
cure the dread maady. J.W.B.
