The Worlds Greatest Blight

The almost universal condition of weakened nerve force that prevails among the civilized people of all nations and more especially in those countries and towns where the greatest business and social activity prevails. It is one of the crying evils of our time that men and women become physical wreck at a period in their lives when they should represent the perfection of physical and mental force. The fact is that the requirements of business and social life i'm pose such hurly- burly, feverish, nervous, brain consuming ,body-neglect- ing method of living that only the strongest conditions can endure the constant strain and maintain healthy equilibrium.
 The most populous public institutions today are the asylums for the insane, and it is unquestlonably fact that modern business methods, social cIs toms and excesses that weaken the vital forces, are the underlying causes for the constantly increasing percentage of insanity.
 In the desperate effort that men and women of today are obliged 10 make to maintain the constantly Tagging ener. gies and to "keep up with the process sion" "there grows upon them aconstantly increasing resort to artificial methods of stimulation. Alcoholic drinks, narcotic drugs, stimulating mixtures and every modern device to produce temporary exhllaration are resorted to.
 The result is something appalling Victims of what is known as the opium habit are at every hand. Extensively and widely advertised institutes for the treatment of what are called nervous diseases, insomnia. debility, weakness, atrophy, lost vitality, drunkenness, ,etc.. are almost mum berless and their patron age is astonishly large. It is drawn from every class and it's aff1ictions not confined to any age. The young man aged man, the old man with but a few years before him, the society belle, the matron, the madden, the wife, the son, the daughter, all are victims, and they come to such place as last desperate resort, with faint hope that even a temporary relief may be found for the awful condition in which their excesses or weak nesses have left them. It sounds like mockery to say that means of universal relief from such aff1ictions has been found and were it not feature Tn connection with such an assertion that the remedies are offered with an unequivocal guaranty that complete cure will be effected or no expense will be incurred. the motive of it's authors might properly be suspected.
 Zerah's Specific Medicines
 Go straight to thes diseased organs and can be plainly felt at work in the dis eased parts very shortly after their use is begun. They are pleasant to take. mild but searching in action, yet agree with the most delicate lady or child, do not red uce the strength and can be used while at the usual occupation, as many patients still able to work and attend to business are often slowly, surely, yet unconsciously dying, knowing them selves to be ill. yet deceived into false security. They procrastinate and put off the matter until the case is 1ncura.
Arizona republican., 1895-10-15

ble. Call and examine and at least learn the cause of your disease and if you can be cured. IL costs you nothing and may save your life.
 Zerah gives legal writer guarantee to cure every case he undertakes or re. fund the money and will pay $l ,OOO IN GOLD for proof that he fails to live up to his contracts. He protects his patients by taking only those who can be cured.
 Chronic Diseases.
 Zerah has treated over 12,000 cases in America in the last two years, many of which had been given up as ineura ble, some to be blind, others deaf, and a large number to be invalids for life. Now they see and hear and many are on the high road to health.
 Zerah is surrounded by a fine collec- tion of instruments for examination and treating all chrome diseases of the head :, face, eye, ear, nose, throat, heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidney, bladder, skin, brain and nervous system, cancers, tu. mors, plies, old sores, fits, paralysis, neuralgia, rheumatism, dropsy, gout, sick headache, debility.
  dren, hereditary and congenital diseases and, in fact, all long-standing and chron- ic diseases. All surgical operations per, formed.
 Delay Is Dangerous.
 Many diseases are so deceptive that hundreds of people have them before they even suspect it. They know they are not we'll, but are perfectly ignorant of the deadly fange which are fastening upon them, and must sooner or later certainly destroy them, unless rescued by skillful hand. Are you afflicted ? Your case may now be perfectly curable, but remember every month of neglect brings you nearer it's incurable stage, when perhaps the most skillful physi- clan can render you no assistance. The present is ours. The future may be too late.
 Examination Free to All.
 Whenever it is known that Zerah is located at place. crowds gather to con. suit him and it is not to be wondered at when it is remembered that in diagnos. ing disease he asks but few questions, but describes the different diseases bet ter than the sick can themselves.
 It is wonderful gift for anyone to possess and Zerah's diagnostic powers have created wonder throughout the country. He adopts the following plan, which is peculiar to large hospitals and is not and never has been the practice of country doctors, viz.: He carefully notes the symptoms of the patient and ascertains the condition of the internal organs, all of which he carefully records in his register for future reference. In this way he is positive of the true nature of the disease and its course. Knowing the disease, he knows the changes it produces in the tissues and knowing the changes hs checks them with spe cific remedies and places the patient on the road to recovery. When sick people consult him he can readily tell whether he can cure them or whether they are beyond hope.
 His Improved Methods of Treatment Are mild and pleasant; agree perfectly
Arizona republican., 1895-10-15

with the most delicate lady or child; do not reduce the str~ngth; can be used while at work and give the greatest pos. sible be nefit in the shortest possible time. Patients can consult him or com municate with him as often as they choose during the whole time required for the cure without regard to where they may be and without extra charge, thus rendering the treatment as success ful and satisfactory as though they were living next door to each other.
 Zerah has had whole life of study and experience in his profession and enjoys advantages which fell to the lot of but few. After attending his full courses in the medical colleges, and after graduating with the highest of honors, he was not content to stop there, but has since attended other colleges and several times reviewed the whole profession; has also travelled extensively for the purpose of improve ment, having visited the best medical colleges, hospitals and dispensaries, eye, ear, lung and other medical and surgical institutions, travelling thou. sands of miles both by land and sea, expending thousands of dollars, inn proving every advantage within his command and devoting the best years of his life to become thoroughly familiar with his profession in all of it's branches. Latest Discoveries and Improve
 ments.
 Zerah has received the most im- proved instructions in analytical and mlcroscopical examinations of the blood, urine, etc., which are now con. sldered indispensable to a correct diag nosis in many diseases. He has also an extensive supply of the latest and best professional apparatus for the treatment of different diseases, by modern methods, embracing many which are but seldom found outside of large cities. There are many diseases which physicians in common practice do not usually treat and are therefore seldom prepared with necessary and costly outfits to examine correctly or treat with success. Such cases, there fore, would do we'll to call at once to learn their true condition, and whether the doors of hope are yet open or for. ever closed against you.

 Free Examination of the Urine.
 Each person applying for medical treatment should send or bring two to four ounces of urine, which will receive careful chemical and. microscopic ex- animation. Persons unskillfully treated by ignorant pretenders, giving poison. ous and injurious compounds, should call and see Zerah.

The Southern Pacific people are wise enough to see this, and if they do not take advantage of it some other com pany will.

AN yysURAxcE MAN 6OBs WRONG.

San Francisco. May is (SpeciaD. -Insurance men
were surprised to-day to learn that Charles NJ.
Comstock. until recently general manager OF the
Fidelity Mutual Life Association Of Philadelphia,
was short In his accounts 5000 and probably more.
Comstock last month retired from his position,
but the reason was given that he suffering
from infammatory rheumatism. Now II turns out
that for months he had been playing the races on
the company's money His scheme was to secure
sixty days delay on all large policies. and handle
the money for two months What he spent he
made good from infrequent payments. and ne never
allowed any OF the policies to default. He also
spent the 500 monthly advanced by the company as
we'll as the lions share OF the advances made 20
six other agents. In this way In about six months
he was able to go through over 5000 He
also borrowed several thousand dollars from friends
He promises TO make his shortage good, but he
has no resources and the friends he has borrowed
from won't assist him. II he fails to square his
accounts he will be prosecuted
