DO NOT DELAY.

The Quaker Doctor has treated over 49,
90 cases in the United States during the
past two years, many of which had been
pronounced iucurab5e but which yielded
readily to the remedies and methods en-
ployed by the Quakers, and the secrets of
which are known to them alone.
Many diseases are so deceptive that you
are scarcely aware that you are affected
until too late. You feel you are not well,
but do not know what the trouble is
While you are deliEeraing whe her to
seek medical attention the disease is fast
enlng itself upon you and win surely des-
troy you unless rescued by a skilful
hand.
DO not delay where your health and life
may pay the penalty of the delay. If you
have any symptoms that you cannot I'M
derstand do not attempt to apply remedies
of which you know nothing. Call on the
Quaker Doctor, and the consulta ton as
wen as the medical advice he will give
you will cost you nothing.
