a COMMON MISTAKE.

It is an error, and one fondly nursed
and zealously encouraged by the fossils
in the profession, that the advertising
physician IS invariably quack and the
non-advertising physician Is always
digniheu, intelligent and successful
practitioner. Indeed nothing could be
further from the truth.
The reader who allows himself to be
hoodwinked by those who from sell
fish motives propagate such erroneous
ideas, may be shut out from obtaining
that high degree ofskill which the con-
ditions of his case demand.
Some of the most pretentious, the
arrant quacks never advertise. or at
least never pay for advertising, prefer
ring to work secret orders, their
friends, or even the church for puffs,
thereby living safely within the code
of medical ethics. On the other hand
some Of the most intelligent and repu-
table physicians choose to use the daily
press, Just as reputable business
houses, who have something Of honest
value to offer to the public.
OF course some advertisements are
frauds, and so are many OF those " hose
ethics will not permit them to pay
the value of services received from the
press, and the public must judge be-
tW cen them.
Dr. Turbin, the eminent German
specialist and surgeon. located at 6O49
Madison avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, chooses
to make public his record in the cure.
of chronic and nervous diseases. SO that
his reputation may reach more suffer-
ers, to do vast amount more good
thereby than if he hid his light under q
bushel.
All diseases caused by blood poison
ing, eruptions, unnatural losses and
weakness caused by indiscretions, are
cured quickly and surely under guar

ness.

is free.
Ladies suffering from diseases pecu-
liar to their sex are treated with the
utmost skill and experience.
By acting on this report, the reader
will be placed in touch with the most
successful specialist of his kind In the
city, and will secure relief and cure,
even if such has not been found else
where.
Dr. Turbin will be in Watertown,
Saturday. May 15, at the Com mercial
hotel.
