OR. ]. FRASER BARBRICK,
Boston Specialist. win be at
HOTEL NORTH, AUGUSTA,
Thursday and Friday, Feb. 18th and

Or. Barbrick visits Augusta at reou.
/ lar intervals for the purpose of Der.
sonaliy attending to the immense prac.
tise he has succeeded in building m In
this place during the years he has been
coming here, and il you are sick or af-
flicted you should consult him at his
offices at the Hotel North ana avoid
the expense and loss of time Il visit to
his Boston office would necessitate.
The following offer is made to all who
call on him during this visit. That no
fee will be charged or received for con-
suitation. examination, advice or SER
vices until the patient pronounces him
or herself cured. Or. Barbrick has
adopted this plan for two purposes.
First, to show the confidence he him.
self has in his methods Of treatment
and ability to cure. Second, to prove
that he can and does cure, even after
all others fail. The remarkable cures
he has made here have given him {,
reputation that can almost be vouched
for by your next door neighbor. but il
you still have doubts. the above offer
should dispel them. Skill is gained BY
experience, confidence is born of sue.
cess. DR.. 6arbrick has had an unlin,.
cess has given him almost sublime con.
f'dence, as is evidenced by his wonder
ful offer 10 and his honorable deaIinos
with the sick public.
He treats all diseases that affIict the
the human race. The following are a
few Of the many diseases that he
treats successfully: Liver Complaint.
Dyspepsia. Bronchitis, Catarrh, Deaf.
ness, Coughs, Gravel, Oropsy, Piles,
Paralysis, Epilepsy, rheumatism, Tu.
mors, Cancers, FistuIa. Kidney Dis
eases, Fever Sores, Diarrhoea, Asthma.
Erysipelas, Heart Disease, Scrofula.
Blood and Skin Diseases Of all kinds,
all nervous Diseases, and all diseases
and weaknesses Of both sexes. The
rapidity with which he describes all
diseases is truly wonderful and aston
ishes all who may call upon him. and
he frankly tells all whether or not they
can be cured.
His extensive, practical experience
enables him to determine almost at q
glance whether case Is durable,
whether it can only be benefited, or
whether il is incurable. His methods
of specially studying each case and an
plying his remedies to meet each in
diridual requirement makes his mode
of treatment at once scientific in It's
application, quick In its action and
positive in It's results.
" you are sick this is your opportu-
nifty to be cured. No matter what the
disease yon are suffering from or how
long standing. YOU should call on
him. 1t will cost you nothing and you
may profit by it.
