Workers in the wide, unexplored field
of modern chemistry are daily astound-
ing the world with new wonders. Pro-
fessor and layman vie with each other In
their commendable efforts to lessen the
Ills of humanity. Yesterday 1t was Pas-
teur and Koch, and today 1t Is Slocum
with a new discovery which is the result
of years of careful study and research.
Foremost among the worlds greatest
chemists stands t. A. Slocum, of New
York City, His researches and expert
ments patiently carried on for years,
have finally eliminated in results which
are proving as beneficial to humanity as
the discoveries of any chemist. ancient
or modern. His efforts, which for years
had been directed toward the discovery
Of a positive cure for consumption, were
finally successful, and already his new
scientific system of medicine" has, by Its
| timely use, permanently cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, and 1t seems
a necessary, and humane duty to bring
such facts to the attention of all tnvalids.
The medical profession throughout
America and Europe are almost unanim-
Gus in the opinion that nearly all physi-
cal ailments naturally tend to the gener-
alton of consumption. The afflicted die
| in the short, cold days of winter much
| faster than in the long, hot days of sum

| The Doctor has proved the dreaded dis
ease to be durable beyond doubt, in any
| climate, and has on file in his American
| and European laboratories thousands OF
letters of heartfelt gratitude from those
| benefited or cured in all parts of the
world.
No one having, or threatened with, any
disease, should hesitate day, but should
write at once. Facts prove that the Doc
tor has discovered a reliable and abso-
lutte cure for Consumption (Tuberculosis)
and all bronchial, throat, lung and chest
troubles, stubborn coughs, catarrhal af-
fections, scrofula, general decline and
weakness, loss of flesh, and all wasting
conditions, and to demonstrate its won
