A physician of Worldwide reputa
ton as a skillful specialist in the
treatment of chronic diseases will

Oct. Sth to remain month. DR..
Sproule, b. A., a graduate in mcdi-
cine and surgery of the far-famed
Dublin University, Ireland, and at
the beginning of his professional
career Il surgeon of the British Navy.
For the past ten years the doctor
has devoted his whole time and study
to the treatment and cnre of chronic
and long standing diseases only, and
has attained such hattering success
in this chosen branch Of his profess
sion as to now rank among the high
est and leading specialists of Europe
and America. Such high and schol-
arly attalnments are not often met
with. 1t is doubtful If the people in
this vicinity have ever had an oppor-
tunity of consulting fright at home)
a specialist of such eminent ability.
DR.. Sproule treats successfully
diseases Ct the breathing organs, d.
gestive tract, liver and kidneys.
blood and nerves, catarrh and rheu-
matlsm, eye and ear. In any doubt
full cases the doctor examines the
blood under Il microscope. Blood
magnlfcd thus highly-some three
or four hundred diameterS-looks
just about as different as persons
faces, and the trained eve, looking at
this, can at once detect which organ
is diseased, because the blood pene-
tratcs every part of the body, several
times each minute.
DR.. Sproule, recognizing that cleo
tricity is making as great strides in
the department of medicine as else
where, has made special study of
this great curative agent, and has all
the latest electrical, galvanic and
magnetic appliances. Also attach
ments and electrodes specially con-
structed for conveying their strength
ening and healing properties to the
eye, lungs, heart, stomach, liver and
kidneys. He has also little electric
search lights which go into and illu-
inmate the cavities Of the body, and
by a process of rejecting mirrors

of the following parts; the inside of
the ears, up the nose, down the
throat to view the lungs, also for the
rcctum and female organs.
Each part of the body is portrayed
by life sized charts (both in health
and disease) which hang all around
the office. He is also supplied with
the latest and most scientific instru-
ments and appliances for the eradi-
cation of Observation-Disclosures. steth-
osCopes, thermometers, manikinS,
inhalers, ophthalmoscopes, spray
apparatus, atomlzers, eve and ear
instruments, operating cases, trocars,
canulas, spccula, genealogical in
struments. and scientific appliances
for examining the blood, urine and
diseased tissues. In all, over $1,000
| worth.
The doctors method of examining
and treating disease is new, safe and
scientific, and invariably produces
the most gratifying results in the
shortest possible time. The doctor
has only visited three places in Yer
mont-Newport, st. Johnsbury and
Montpelier-where he has LETT n very
tlattering record indeed, gaming the
respect and esteem of the community
at large in each place. Of the doc
