 There are many complications follow ing Private Diseases, such as Bad Blood. Skin, Bladder and Womb Troubles, Ul- cers, Pimples, Blotches, sore Mouth, etc., all of which quickly get well when the cause is removed.
 I wish to call special attention to my treatment of unfortunates suffering from the effects of Early Imprudence, Errors of Youth, Loss of Vitality, Loss of Man. hood Sexual Debility or any of the mad dening effects. Get well and be man. Enjoy life as you should.

A VERY CURIOUS FAD.
Grandma Would Never Have Sat With Her
 Knees Crossed.

There was time when a woman who had the temerty to cross her knees in public was considered quite too bold to be within the pale of good society. Fashions kinks have taken another twist now, and the woman who is in good society shows it by crossing her feet, obviously. That is, she not only crosses them in the privacy of her own room, and when she seats herself in her fa- Vorite wide low chair in her reception room, but she crosses them in the street cars and the cabs, in the railway sta tions and in the church, She does, in- deed
 Possibly there is nothing actually crim- final in the habit, though our grandmoth- CTS thought so. nor is it improper, as our mothers thought, and would like to think yet if they were not bewildered by the awful overturning given to their pre- viously conceived ideas of what Is right and proper, but it is certainly inelegant outside of ones own home.
 In ones own boudoir where the frou- frou of lace ruffles and silk plaitings, the amplitude of skirts and abundant draperies cover all crude outlines, the crossing of the feet is not exactly un- graceful. Then, too, it gives opportunity for the display of a well-shod foot daintily turned ankle, half displayed and half concealed by the clouds of trimming that women pile on the bottom of their skirts, and quite suits the abandon of the exquisite tea gowns and the hour

A specialist treats only special or particular class of diseases. I have the distinction of being the only physician in the south controlling sufficient practice in Private Diseases to devote my whole time to their cure.
 This daily contact for year after year with such troubles gives experience. Ex- perience is essential to success.
 My Medical Dispensary was established in the city of Birmingham August 8. 1887. for the exclusive cure of Private Dis eases. Privacy is one of it's special fea- lures. It is so arranged that one patient never necessarily sees another. People who have social relations to sustain ap- preciate this. The very best people are often unfortunate and dislike to consult their family physician through feelings of de1icacy. To them offer a safe, sure cure and perfect privacy.
