DR.. u, u. Aailler's Visit.

Next Thursday will be the occa-
sion of DIR. r. B. Miller's regular
monthly visit to our city. For a pc
riod of more than three years he has
made these regular visits, and he has
had patients from every section of
this county who attest to his great
skill in the cure of chronic diseases.
Still there are others afflicted, those
who have chronic ailments from the
effects of which they have suffered
for years. 1t is quite probable that
they could be restored to health, so
that they could enjoy life and be hap
py, if provided with proper medicine.
As DR.. Miller has Cur d so many such
afflicted in this county, it is quite
probable that those now diseased
most of them, at least-cOuld be cured
by his treatment. Call and consult
with him; he'll not charge you un.
less you put yourself under his treat.
