What We Don't Treat

For the sake of those living at a dis
lance, who might be put to a useless
journey and expense, DR.. Sproule
deems it right to name a few Of the
principal diseases he does not treat:
Children, suffering from any diseases
whatsoever, under seven years of age.
The Doctor does not perform capital
operations, such as am%putations of
arms, legs, etc; does not set broken
bones; does not reduce dislocations;
does not treat any kind of fever, such as
smallpox, scarlatina, typhus, typhoid,
measles, or any form of contagious dis
ease, erysipelas, pneumonia, %whooping-
cough, chicken-pox or Group. The
Doctor has not made a special study of
any of the above; your ordinary prac-
titioner can do as we'll for them as he
could. His life is devoted to the Grad
ication of chronic and obscure diseases
only.

Charts and Instruments F!

Every part of the body is portrayed
by life-sized charts of every organ Of
the body, (both in health and disease),
which hang all around the office. The
Doctor is also well supplied with the
latest and most scientific instruments
and appliances for the eradication of
disease - microscopes, stethoscopes,
thermometers, manikins, inhalers, oph-
thalmoscopes, spray apparatus, atom
izers, eye and ear instruments, oper-
ating case, t~rocars, aspirators, canulas,
specula, gyr geological instruments and
scientific appliances for examining the
blood, urine and diseased tissues-in
all over $4,000 worth.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-06-26
What We Treat!

We treat chronic disease as a spe-
cialty. Those of a lingering, difficult
or doubtful character especially solic-
tied. We consult with all applicants
FREE OF CHARGE. If we believe them
durable after an examination, we will
TELL them so. We give HONEST oPIN-
IONS. Remember that our reputation
is at stake, and we make and maintain
our reputation by cures effected under
our care and our treatment. Every
case that we undertake to treat and
fail to cure is a direct injury to us;
therefore we must be prudent and care
full. We tell you what we can do for
you, and what it will cost you, and
leave you free to decide for yourselves.
We do not urge or persuade any per-
son to take our treatment.

Electricity in Medicine

DR.. Sproule, recognizing that cleo
tricity is making as great strides in the
world of medicine as elsewhere, has
made a special study of this great cura-
tive agent, and has all the latest cleo
%trical, galvanic and magnetic appli-
ances. Also attachments and cleo
trodes specially fitted for conveying
their strengthening and healing prop
critics to the eyes, lungs, heart, stomach,
liver and kidneys.
He has also little electric search
lights, which go into and illuminate the
cavities of the body, and by a process
of rejecting mirrors show accurately
the health or disease of the following
parts: The inside of the ears, up the
nose, down the throat to view the
lungs; also for the rectum and the fe-
male organs.

Don't Let Prejudice Kill You !!

To those who are afflicted with any
disease, and to the parents and guar
dams of any suffering, we would say
(however opposed to your W precon-
ceived ideas or those of your medical
adviser): You owe it to yourselves and
to your children to visit us, and if, after
personal examination of our facilities,
you shall find that we have misrepre-
sented them, or our success, we will
gladly refund the money you have ex-
pended in making the journey. If you
listen to the counsel of skeptical friends
or jealous physicians, you may not
come; but, remember that if you allow
yourselves to continue invalids, or your
children or friends, when means for
their relief are within their reach, you
are guilty of culpable negligence, and
are, in a measure, responsible for the
consequences. Let me urge the ne
cessity of prompt action. Every day
you put off you render these chances of
relief less. If, after examination of
any case, We judge it incurable, we will
frankly tell you so, as we undertake the
treatment of no case we are not conf
dent of curing or greatly bene filing.

DR.. SprOule'S Work in Newport.
Honest Tribute to Eminent Merit, and "A
Practice that Has Greatly Benefited the
People of this Community.

Honest Tribute to Eminent Merit, and "A
Practice that Has Greatly Benefited the
People of this Community.
A man is truly great whose life is devoted
to the good of his fellow beings; such a
man DIR. Sproule has proved himself to be
in Newport. As the visit Of this celebrated
specialist is now drawing to a close W. feel
in duty bound to make mention of his work
among our citizens. Never before in Or
leans county has there been acquired, in
such short space of time, such a wonderful
reputation in tho medical profession as that
of DR.. Sproule. From early morning till
late at night the Doctors offices have been
crowded with persons eager to obtain treat
ment and relief from their ailments. Hun
dreds of supposed incurable cases are happy
to attest the skill and ability of DIR. Sproule.
In our daily rounds we meet many of the
Doctors patients who all sing his praises,
and feel deeply grateful for his kindness
and close attention. One reliable lady,
Mrs. III. b. Rogers of Fitch Bay, says the
Doctor has done more for her than il he had
given her all the money in the world. The
Doctor is an alert, active man, of command
ing presence. He is a living example of the
fact that the medical world is not at a stand
still, and an object lesson that the only
limit to what an able physician can accom-
plish is the limit OF his own capabilities.
Another intelligent gentleman, Mr.. III. Y.
Campion, states that the Doctors offices
seem 10 Dt d FOUNTAIN OF nope, where tub
afflicted drink of a new life, free from suf-
fering and pain. The Doctor is modest and
unassuming, benevolent and sympathetic,
No one can be in his presence and not feel
he is in the presence of a master mind. We
have had intim ate dealings with the Doctor
and believe him to be an honorable, skilled
physician (who would not stoop to do an
illegitimate act in his chos On profession),
and a thoroughly good, kind and conscien-
tious man, who practices his profession not
for the sake Of gain so much as for the
pleasure it affords him of helping suffering
humanity. In his relations with all whom
he meets the Doctor is always courteous
and gentlemanly, and has gained the re-
spect and esteem Of this community. He
has carried light and gladness into many
households where long the dark pail of sick
ness lowered. Many, many patients in this
section Join their approving voices to swell
the grand chorus that goes up from all over
the land in his praise and honor. We wish
him continued success.

To the Ladies, Especially !
only.

You who are so familiar with the
agonies of life and the barbaric treat
ment of the speculum, cauterizing, and
pesseries, also nauseous compounds
that derange the stomach and weaken
the nervous system; you who suffer so
long and patiently those aches and
pains in the head, back, sides, limbs
and stomach and from constipation,
dyspepsia, hemorrhoids, nervous pros
t%ration, sleepless and restless nights,
neuralgia, bloating, leucorrhea, tired
and exhausted feelings, especially in
the morning; irregularities, bearing
down pains, soreness, and unable to be
on the feet long without suffering the
results; those with the pale and
wrinkled face, sallow skin, cold feet,
hacking cough, catarrh, and many
other symptoms dependent upon utter
inc and ovarian disease, and on the
nervous system-you are the mes who
are ESPECIALLY INVITED TO CALL.
To which all ladies are most cordially
invited, will be free. DIR. Sproule
teaches In his consultations every ne
cessity pertaining TO the recovery Of
health and the sustenance of womanly
development, health and vigor. Not
only will they be surprised at the won
derful knowledge of the disease, his
plain, concise explanations of every
cause and effect, but at the rapidly
with which his treatment relieves and
cures the most obstinate cases.
Ladies Suffering from diseases pc.
culiar TO their sex) can consult DR..
Sproule, with every assurance of q
speedy relief and permanent cure, with
out subjecting themselves to embar-
RAISING examinations, which in nine
cases out of ten are entirely unneces'
sary.

Diseases of the Skin.

All forms of skin diseases result from
poisons in the blood. The poisons ir-
ritate the skin, producing the er%uptions,
and stain the skin muddy or sallow, as

Convincing Testimonials
After Three Weeks

u feel l owe it to DR.. Sproule to tell the
good he has done for me. Before going to
see him at Montpelier, l had been sick for a
long time with liver and stomach trouble.
1 had well-nigh given up all hope of ever
getting cured. My stomach was so bad 1
could take nothing without pain, and life
was robbed of its pleasures. 1 also had
cstarrh. Now. after only three weeks
treatment, | am 80 much improved 1 can
again attend to the large amount of bust
ness connected with our mill, which has al
ready cut over 100000 feet OF lumber this
season. My friends all remark on the great
change in my appearance.

"To Whom II May Concern:-I
write this as an endorsement of DR..
Sproule and his work in Newport. My
daughter was among the first to engage
his services in Newport. He has done
well by her. She gained right along
from the start under his very skillful

believe the Doctor does just as he
agrees in every case he undertakes. L

To DR.. SprOule.

And are these years of weary pain
Forever passed away?
These seven long years of dreary night
Turned into endless day ?
/ sometimes think It's all a dream,
And l shall, on the morrow,
Wake up to all my aches and pains,
The old, old grief and sorrow.
Oh, mol IT'S true l walk abroad,
With peace and heavenly joy;
The sweet songs of the summer birds
No more my nerves annoy.
IT'S by thy aid, my gracious friend,
That 1 rave found release;
For God has blessed your skillful work,
And sent this heavenly peace.
Oh, may thy future life be crowned
With blessings from above,
And may you long be spared on earth
For the great work of love.
How many sickly homes you've cheered.
How many hearts made light;
Fol sickness reigns no longer there,
And all is calm and bright.
God bless your life. God bless your home
That home across the sea;
A thousand, thousand thanks 1 send
For all you've done for me.
