For 20 years DR.. Hathaway has confined his
practice almost exclusively to diseases OF men,
and during that time he has restored more men
to health, VigOr. usefulness and happiness than
any ten othoP doctors in the country combined.
DR.. Hathaway treats and cures by a method
entirely his own. discovered and perfected by
himself and used exclusively by him. Loss Of
Vitality, VaricOcele, Structure, Blood Poisoning
in it's different stages, rheumatism, Weak Back,
all manner of urinary complaints, Ulcers, Sores
and Skin Diseases, Brights Disease and allfCrmS
Of Kidney Troubles. His treatment for under
toned men restores lost vitality and makes the
patient a strong, we'll, vigorous man.
DR.. HathaWay'S success in the treatment of
VaricOcele and Structure without the aid of knife
or cautery is phenomenal. Inc patient is treat
ed by this method at his own home without pain
or loss of time from business. This is positively
the only treatment which cures without an OpeF-
alton. Dr.. Hathaway calls the particular attGn-
ton of sufferers from VaricOcele and Structure to
pages q, Is, %, 80 and 81 of his new book.
Every case taken by Dr.. Hathaway is specially
treated according to its nature, all under his GEN
eral perSOnalSuperViSiOn and all reInediesused by
him are prepared from hGDurGStand beStdrugSi in
his own laboratories under his personal oversight.
Dr.. Hathaway makes no charge for cOnSulta-
ton or advice, either at his Office or by mail, and
when a case IS taken the one low fee covers all
cost of medicines and professional services.
Dr. HatnaWay always prefers, when it is posi-
Die, TO nave MS patients call on him Tor at least
one interview, but this is not essential, as he has
cured scores OF thousands of patients in all sec
tons OF the world whom he has never seen. His
System of Home Treatment is so perfected that
as though the patient called daily at his Office.
