NEV flight MEDICINE
Power of the Specialist in
Treating Grave
Diseases.
His Advantage Over the Cen
eraI Practitioner-How the Best
Treatment May be Obtained for
an lnsiqnificant Sum.

Even a layman, who never sees a medi-
cal paper, must marvel atthe great advance
the science Of healing has made in the last
few years. A decade has seen more adj
vancement, more light, than all the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries. ,
This condition has been brought about
very largely by the researches of specialists,
who have made some particular organ OF the
body their special study. :,
How to provide the advantages OF special
treatment to the afflicted who have been I'M
able to secure it, has been a problem many
nave tried to solve. That 1t is practicable
has finally been demonstrated by II. II.
Warner, the original proprietor of world
famed Warmers Safe Cure.
Mr.. Warmers years of experience in the
treatment Of kidney diseases led him TO be-
lieve that equally good results could be OBJ
tanned by offering the public special treat
ment for the several classes OF disease TO
which mankind is liable. Since he severed
his connection with the Warner Safe Cure
Company, some five years ago, he has been
working out his present plan and has formed
the Warner Nazaro Medicine Co.
He has completed arrangements with q
number of the leading specialists OF Greater
New York, to give advice and treatment to
people who could not otherwise avail them
selves of their services. In this way special
treatments will be prescribed for each class
of disease, and special advice given to each
Among the diseases for which special
treatment can be had are, scrofula and all
blood and skin diseases; nervous prostra.
ton, insomnia, chronic headaches, and all
nervous disorders; rheumatism and govt
acute and chronic catarrh, diseases and
weaknesses of women; special diseases Of
men indigestion and all stomach disorders

the feature Of the day on Monday.
Long before the hour appointed for the

and requirements shone brightly in
