Only Consumption.
Z
The physicians Of the Koch Medical
Institute confine themselves to the
treatment Of diseases Of the lungs, and
make q speciality Of consumption. DR..
w. H. Ballard and DR.. c. H. Whitman
have had large experience in the hos
pitals Of Chicago. and are exceptionally
fitted by their previous experience to
practice this speciality in 9 comprehen-
sive and thorough manner. They do
not scatter themselves and their efforts
all over the range Of study and practice
required by . general practice. but con-
centrate all their efforts and time upon
the practice Of this one branch, the
lungs. AflE Ats
It goes without saying that q man Of
ability who puts in all his time and en-
ersy on one speciality will be better pre-
pared and more perfectly qualified to
give the patient all the benefit to be
had from Any professional attention.
In connection with this special per-
sonal preparation and fitness for the
practice of a speciality. the offices Of the
institute are provided with every known
modern appliance for the pursuit Of
special study and practice. thereby af-
fording the physicians ample opportu-
nifty to keep abreast Of all modern SCI
entiflc advancement in the line Of orig
inal investigation and research.
Add to all these advantages and
qualifications the use Of the only spe-
cifc of actual value in the destruction
Of the bacili, the cause Of consump-
tion, and 1t follows that consumptive
sufferers who go to the Koch Medical
Institute for treatment have advan-
tages not equaled by those received from
any other office.
The treatment consists Of the use Of
an entirely new preparation called 'im-
proved tuberculin," and made from the
tuberculin produced in the laboratories
of the celebrated Koch of Berlin, Ger
many, and is administered by an en-
tirely new method. used only at the
Koch Medical Institute.
The remedy is not one that has been
tried and found wanting, neither has
it been condemned and discarded by
the profession, but all professional men
vvhn h oh nd IN,
vestigated its effects indorse 1t and
send their patients to this institute for
treatment. The results are wonderful,
and many patients are glad to testify
concerning the benefits derived. Their
names and addresses can be learned on
application at the Koch Medical Insti-
tute, No. 529 South Broadway, Los An
geles.
1t Is almost impossible to believe that
a profession of such broad scope as the
medical profession should for moment
be controlled by bigotry, and yet it is
true that many professional men are
so bigoted that they are altogether in
tolerant Of any system Of practice diff
ferent from their own, hence condemn
the treatment Of the Koch Medical In
stitute on general principles, without
investigating, because it comes in con-
fiict with their personal gains, and be-
cause 1t claims to do what they know
they cannot do. The Koch Medical In
stitute, however. fears no one, and
while open-handed and under-handed
means are resorted to to bring it into
disrepute, it continues quietly and
evenly on its way, curing consumptives
and restoring to health those practi-
cally lost to this world because of the
inability of the regular profession to
save them.
There have appeared in the columns
of The Herald certain sensational arti-
cles in which the broad statement has
been made that consumption is incura-
Bile, and the opinions Of the regulars in
this city are given as authority for the
statements. The Koch Medical Insti-
tute has heretofore advertised that con-
sumption can be cured, and has adver-
tised to be able to effect the cures by
it's own specific preparation and meth
DDS of treatment, and today Drs. Bal
lard & Whitman reiterate the claims
heretofore publicly and privately made,
and assert positively that they can and
that they do cure consumption, and
they invite investigation by the public,
the press or the profession. They will
demonstrate that their claims are we'll
founded, that every statement made is
true, and the proofs will be produced to
verify these assertions.

Drs Ballard & Whitman, Gentlemen:
Your treatment of consumption by i'm
proved tuberculin" has done so much for
me that feel testimonials due. in the
hope that some other sufferer may be
led to take the treatment rS
Although a medical practitioner my
self, suffered from consumption for
nine years. Under successive trials of
various remedies and treatments ex-
perlenced alternate periods of improve
ment and decline, but In the end stead
lily increasing decline was evident. The
benefits of different climates were tried
and the advice of several prominent
brother physicians was sought but all
to no purposes as to permanent gain.
