Prof. A. ]. Dexter City:
Dear Sir-I write this to you so that II
any other young man should come to you
suffering with the diseases l had when |
came to you. l am now entirely well of
all my troubles. and thanks to you for
curing me, for 1 have had four different
physicians in this town to treat me. with
no success. but at last l found one who
knew more than all of them put together
Among them that said he could cure me
was one who advertise a great deal in cur
Savannah papers, but he did me no good.
You are the only one in this city. in my
opinion that can cure men of lost manhood,
gleet, structure, varicoGele or blood dis
eases, and as for your treatment, il is
nothing, that is, in regard to taking about
one-half dozen different medicines at the
same time. Young man or old man, take
the advice of one who has been under the
treatment of Prof. Dexter, and let him
treat you, If you have anything the matter
with you. He cured me, and why not
you. Follow his directions in all he asks.
Hoping you will take the advice of one
who knows what he is talking about,
remain, yours truly.
