has word of praise to relate of some
wonderful cure he has performed, of
some terrible disease of father, mother,
son, daughter or friend, whom he has
restored to health after cure seemed
hopeless.

/ YOU ore sufferer, You Should Wegh Well These Words!
A Wonderful Treatment for the Sick.

/ A Wonderful Treatment for the Sick.
Dr. Downing moreover, discards en-
tirely the use of all poisonous drugs,
and uses only harmless vegetable medi-
cines in his treatment of disease. His
success is most remarkable and his vast
experience for many years, in treating
and curing all forms of disease, to-
gether with his deep researches and
investigations among these wonderful
remedies have made him the most sue
cessful specialist in the cure of this
class of diseases, in this country. The
absolute certainty with which linger-
ing and long-standing diseases yield to
his skillful treatment and are speedily
cured, is simply marvellous.
10 such an extent has his practice
grown throughout the United States,
and such is the demand upon the time
and attention of the Doctor, that he
has associated with himself several
eminent physicians and surgeons all
graduates Of leading medical colleges,
with main offices established i'm Chica-
go and branch offices i'm different cities
throughout the west, in order to bet
ter accommodate the great number of
sufferers of chronic affections, who
from all sections of the country are
eager to embrace this opportunity of re-
ceiving sure and speedy cure of their
ills.
How and Where You Can be Surely Cured
From Your Complaint.
Ordinary affections like catarrh,
stomach troubles, kidney and liver
complaint, blood diseases, rheumatism,
neuralgia, female complaints, etc., are
cured almost like magic by his wonder
full treatment. 1t is curing those most
serious diseases like paralysis, heart
disease, scrofula, consumption, nervous
debility, brain exhaustion, nervous
prostration and the many other terrible
forms of nerve disorders, that the great
and wondrous skill of this most sue
cessful physician is best made manifest.
Thousands upon thousands of hope
less and despairing sufferers have been
perfectly and completely restored to
health and strength, and
