WALES PHYSICIAN
ON CONSUME TON
Sir William BrOadbent Says COnSump.
ton Is Contagious and Durable
Not Necessarily Hereditary.
AGREES With SLOCUM METHODS
At a Meeting In London the Prince Of Wales
Physician Fully Confirms DR.. SlOCum'S
Teachings on This Disease.

LONDON, Jan. IA meeting of the
National Society for the Prevention of
Consumption and other forms of Tuber-
cular diseases, held at Marlborough
House December 20, was presided over
by the Prince Of Wales, and addressed
by Lord Salisbury and Sir William
Broadbent, physician to the Prince of
Wales.
DR.. Broadbent adheres to the view
that consumption is not necessarily
hereditary, but a contagious disease,
and is therefore durable by treatment
which will destroy the germs and build
| up the system.
He thus agrees with DR.. Slocum in
every particular and his address is a
practical Endorsement of the system of
treatment followed out so successfully
by this well-known practitioner.
DIR. Slocum felt sure. when he first
announced his theory, based on scien-
tific experiments and practice, that con-
sumption is germ disease and not ne
cessarily a hereditary faint, that the
whole medical world would in time ac-
knowledge that he was right.
In Sir William Broadbent DR.. Slocum
has an ally who will be of great assist
ance in teaching the people the real
! nature of consumption, its prevention
and it's cure.
The first thing necessary, as these
two great physicians show, is the kill
ing of the germs Of the disease-and
then the strengthening and building up
of the system.
This is just the theory upon which
| the DR.. Slocum New Treatment for
| Consumption, Lung Weakness and the
Grip is based. The germs of consump-
ton, grip, etc, enter the body through
the nose and mouth in breathing, and
pass down the respiratory canal to the
| lungs.
DR.. Slocums medicines disinf7ct the
system from the nostrils to- the deepest
passages of the lungs, both by contact
with the mucous membrane and
through the blood, thus killing the
germs. His medicines also furnish food
with which to build up the wasted
tissues, and fortify the system against
renewed attacks Of the terrible mi
crobeS.
1t was announced at this meeting in
London, referred to above, that Wern-
her & Belt, the South African finan-
ciers and diamond mine owners, had
given $100, 900 for the erection of a SAM
tarium for Consumption
The thousands of Americans who are
using this famous system, and the
thousands who have been cured by it,
will be interested in the fact that the
scientific principles embodied in the DR..
Slocums New System Of Treatment
have been SO highly Endorsed by Sir
William Broadbent, the eminent physi-
clan to the royal family.
DR.. Slocum's offer to send free medi-
cine to sufferers from these dreadful
germ diseases has at last borne fruit,
! and others are beginning to join with
him in the work of Kidding the world of
it's greatest and most dangerous
scourge.
| He will still continue the distribution
! of the three free bottles comprising the
! complete course of his new system OF
! treatment so universally known as a
positive cure for all diseases of throat
and lungs.
Every reader of The Call who has
consumption, grip, weak lungs, catarrh
or any form of lung or throat or bron-
chial weakness, or any wasting chronic
complaint, who sends name and full adj
dress to or calls at The Doctor Slocum
American Laboratories, SO and SO Pine
street, New York City, stating that he
read this article in the San Francisco
Call will receive these three free bottles
with full instructions for self treatment
! and free advice ADAPTED to any case
