| eyes," he at length replied, "I suppose you
do run across many of the patients whom
have cured. They are grateful, and feel that
they must say something in my praise"
'Did the hard times affect your practice?"
''Well if they did it was not noticeable, for
my offices have been nearly always crowded.
OF course there has been great deal of sick
ness, and then you know treat SO many cases
that other physicians have given up as hope
less, which have all helped to keep me very
busy"
doctor, where were you practicing before
you came to San Francisco?'
SIN Philadelphia. have also had extensive
practice in the leading hospitals of the country,
among them the Louisville (Ky.) City Hos
pital, the Cincinnati City Hospital, the Jeffer-
son Medical Hospital of Philadelphia the q nj
versity Medical Hospital of West Philadelphia
and the Medical College of Indianapolis, under
the most learned scientific practitioners in
speciality cases. 1 am wholly absorbed in my
profession. and of the thousands of difficult
cases have treated Imay simply say, in JUS
tice to myself, that have been invariably sue
cessful.''
"You are evidently graduate of ia number
of colleges?"
ooh, yes My diplomas can be seen hanging
on the walls of my Office. They are from the
best medical colleges in the land No physician
can show better or more successful record
among his patients"
"What is your speciality, doctor?"
al address myself particularly to young and
middle-aged men who are suffering from nerv.
Gus debility. In this distressed condition are
many thousands who, although originally
strong in body and bright in mind, have per-
mitted their ailment to run on and on.untiI
finally, with physical and mental powers ex-
hausted, death must claim them unless they
take the proper kind of treatment. The most
obstinate cases of this character treat with
unfailing success. All want is fair trial to
convince the most skeptical. Iuse no injurious
drugs and undertake no incurable cases."
"Do you treat patients at a distance, doctor?"
"You would think so if you were to see nv
mail. 1 receive large number of letters daily,
from all sections, from those who wish treat
ment and others under my care. All that is
necessary for persons at distance to do is to
describe their troubles to me by letter, and
suitable remedies will be sent to them, free
from observation, to any part of the country.
Of course personal visit is desirable where
possible"
ST presume you have many testimonials q
cures effected doctor?"
"Yes, thousands from all parts of the W orld:
many of them from the most prominent bust
ness men of this city"
"Could you let me have few of the names
for publication"
"What! No, sir; not If you offered me a
thousand dollars apiece. Nothing could per-
suade me to allow the name of one of my pa
tients or their diseases published. for when a
sick man or woman sits in physician s private
Office and tells him conhdentially their troubles
it is the greatest breach of professional dignity
for him to make it public. 1t is q strict rule
with me to keep absolutely secret all profess
sional dealings" !
The substance of information which the
writer was able to learn from the doctor was q
that most ofhis wonderful cures had been made
in the following diseases: Nervous, chronic
and private diseases of every nature, blood and
skin diseases. female complaints, kidney, blad-
der, structure liver, lung, throat, stomach and
heart diseases, piles, rupture, hydrocele, vari-
cocele and kindred troubles
After inviting the writer to make him a
friendly call at his office, 1877 Market street. the
doctor excused himself on the plea of fatigue
and retired.
The accompanying cut is an excellent like.
ness OF the doctor. Everything about him in,

whereof he speaks.
