CONSUMPTION CUREl
Requirements for a Cure Sup
plied---The Suffering
Healed
Additional Evidence Of the Wonder
full Success Obtained From
Reliable Treatment

Consumption is disease caused by
the presence of germs in the lungs. The
disease causes breaking down of lung
tissue, absorption of poisonous products,
and corresponding wasting of the body,
loss Of strength and the various symp-
toms so well known. The only rational
way to cure the disease lis to remove the
cause The cause being the germs, they
must be destroyed, then removed, and
lastly the injured organs and tissue must
be repaired and the vigor of the system
restored.
n cure for consumption to be perfect,
then, must accomplish these objects.
and at the same time must be harmless
to the patient. The perfected system of
treatment in use by DR.. w Harrison
Ballard accomplishes these objects. The
remedy used is his own improvement of
Koch's tuberculin. and by his improved
and specially devised apparatus, and
this specific remedy, every one in mead
of treatment for lung trouble of any ma
ture may be sure of a certain and safe
cure. No one affected with weak lungs
from any cause can afford to miss the
opportunity to be cured of tuberculosis,
if already present, or to prevent it if
only the initial stage is begun or threat
ening. Call at the Office and investigate

LOS ANGELES, March 26th, 1897.
DR.. w. Harrison Ballard, 404 Stimson
block: Dear Sir-Having been cuDed by
your improved Koch treatment for tu-
berculosis, | am impelled by gratitude
to state for your benefit the good that
has been done in my case. My expert
ence with consumption dates back about
six years. and have been examined and
treated by eminent medical men in Swe
den, Europe and in various places in this
country, and especially here in Los An
geles, where for the past nearly four
years l have lived and been treated at
different times.
During the summer of 1896 | found
myself rapidly running down. / had
severe cough, copious expectoration,
hemorrhages, night sweats and loss of
weight and strength, and it seemed that
l couldn't long keep at my work. A cell
ebrated physician examined the sputa
and found the tubercle bacillus present
in abundance, and there seemed no hope
for me. / gave up the regular treatment
of physicians and for time took anoth-
er specific treatment, and seemed at first
to improve, but soon ] began to run
down worse than ever and finally became
so weak l had to give up work and had
very severe hemorrhage.
About three months ago / concluded
to give up all other treatment and put
myself under your exclusive care, with
the result that now / am another man
and have rapidly grown to be more like
my former self. The cough and expec-
toraton are entirely stopped, my appe-
tite, which had bothered me for years,
| is most excellent, and 1 have gained in
weight and strength until now l feel
| perfectly well, and as the bacilli have
, disappeared from the sputa l am posi-
| tive that / am perfectly cured.
| Yours very truly, A. w. STARK,
