Delay is Dangerous

Many diseases are so deceptive that
hundreds of people have them before
they even suspect it, They know
they are not well, but are perfectly
ignorant of the deadly fangS which
are fastening upon them, and must,
sooner or later, certainly destroy
them, unless rescued by a Skillful
hand. Are you afflicted Your case
may now be perfectly durable, but
remember every moment of neglect
brings you nearer its incurable stage,
in which perhaps the most skillful
physician can render you no assist

Examination Free to All

Whenever it is known that Zerall
is located at a place, crowds gather to
consult him, and it is not to be Won
dered at when it is remembered that
in diagnosing a disease he asks but
few questions, but describes the diff
ferent diseases better than the sick
can themselves.
1t is a wonderful gift for any one
to possess, and his diagnoStic powers
have created wonder throughout the
country. He adopts the following
plan, which is peculiar to large hoSpi-
tails, and is not and never has been
the practice of country doctors, viz:
He cheerfully notes the symptoms of
the patient and aScertainS the condi-
ton of the internal organs, all OF
which he carefully records in his reg
lister 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 he checks them with spe-
citic remedies and places the patient
Oh the road to recovery. When such
people consult him he readily tells
them whether he can cure or help
them or whether they are beyond
hope.

Zerah's Specific Medicines

Go straight to the diseased organs
and can be plainly felt at work in
the diseased parts very shortly after
their use is begun. They are pleas
ant to take, mild, but searching in
action, yet agree with the most deli
cate lady or child, do not reduce the
strength, and can be used while at
the usual occupation, as many pa.
tents still able to work and attend to
business are often slowly, surely, yet
unconsciously dying, knowing them
selves to be i'll, yet deceived into a
false security They procrastlnate
and put off the matter until the case
is incurable. Call and be examined
and learn the cause of your disease
and if you can be cured. 1t costs
you nothing and may save your life.

antee to cure every case he under Z
