GUESSING AT THE DISEASE.

How often do we hear CT a person who has
complained for some time, who has called upon
several different doctors, each of whom gave a
different name to the disease, and each gave
medicine to relieve the disease named, Ia new
name and new remedy by each doctor, for the
same disease) Each remedy failed to cure, and
the unfortunate victim of guessing the disease
continues to suffer and comes to believe himself
incurable, because adoctor perhaps several of
them have made bad guesses about his condition
treated the wrong disease and failed tc cure.
DR.. Downing says that most of the cases which
he has found to be really incurable have become
so because the real disease has not been found or
properly treated. Hesays that most all diseases
are durable if properly treated in time.
DR.. Downing has all the modern facilities for
the scientific examination and treatment of dis
eased conditions of all kinds. His Offices are
equipped with the latest scientific devices for
accurate investigation of disease, and his Won
derful experience in the treatment of the obscure
diseases, which are often neglected and improp-
erly treated, enable him to tell quickly whether
he can cure or not,
In his great work of curing difficult and spe
ciaI diseases he has treated persons from all
parts of the world, who came to him after failure
to obtain relief elsewhere. He has over 10000
testimonials from persons whom he has cured of
delicate and obscure diseases, almost all having
failed to obtain relief elsewhere, and many OF
whom had been given up to die.

DEADLY DISEASE YIELDS.

The above are only few of the many thous-
ands DR.. Downing has cured. DR.. Downing's
greatest success has been in curing diseases
which have been looked upon as incurable, such
as cancer. consumption, diabetis, blindness, de-
formities and lack of development, paralysis, cpl
lepsy and other diseases, often the result
of imprudence and neglect or improper treat
ment. While surgical operations, diseases of the
lungs. heart, stomach, liver and kidneys, dis
eases of women, and the special nervous disor-
ders of both men and women, including weak
ness drains, discharges and all unnatural losses,
yield to his special treatment almost by magic.
In the treatment of over 10000 cases of-certain
diseases he has never undertaken which
he failed to cure.
When DIR. Downing says case is durable, he
says it in the knowledge that these words have
been new life to host of men and women
doomed by fear, and friends and ignorance and
physicians to years of suffering and premature
death. His system of treatment of disease. the
result of years of study and vast experience in
the great hospitals of both Europe and America
has removed much of the terror and fear from
the sick and given hope in its stead.

the greatest and most successful experience in
the treatment of long standing and obscure dis
eases. and the question has often been asked,
why does he succeed in curing certain long

The answer Is not difficult, in fact there are
several reasons, either one of which would seem
to answer the question.

TREAT THE WRONG DISEASE

It is an unfortunate fact that a large proper
ton of persons afflicted with chronic affections
are treated for the wrong disease. The symp-
toms of many different diseases are very much
alike, and it often requires the most careful ex-
animation to arrive at correct diagnosis, and
it is impossible to treat case properly when its
characteristics are not known. In fact great in
jury is done by treating the wrong disease.
