Foremost among the worlds greatest Medico- Chemists stands Dr. Slocum of New York City. His efforts, which for years had been directed toward the discovery of a positive cure for con- sumption were finally successful and already his new scientific system of treatment has, by it's timely use, per manently cured thousands of appar ently hopeless cases.
 He has demonstrated the dreaded disease to be curable beyond a doubt, in any climate.
 Indisputable facts prove that the Doctors New Discoveries are an abso- lute cure for Consumption and all bron- chial, throat, lung and chest troubles: la grippe, stubborn coughs, catarrhal affections, scrofula rheumatism, gen eral decline and weakness, loss of flesh and all wasting conditions; and to bet
