ST|RS UP THE DOCTORS.
CHICAGOPHYSICIAN DISCOVERS
NEW METHOD OF TREAT.
MENT.
Produces Harmony Among Nerve Cen
tiers Of Human Body.

DR.. Bernard, of Chicago, is causing
sensation In the medical world by
boldly asserting that drugs are not
only useless but positively harmful in
majority of cases. In the place of
drugs DR.. Bernard is successfully sub
shutting new method of treatment
for disease and for the prevention of
disease. His method is called Physio-
logical Development of the Nerve Cen
ters of the Body, and is so simple and
positive in results that none have
dared to attack it. DR.. Bernard bases
his method upon the principles Of
anatomy teaches 1t by correspondence.
obtains results in an infinite variety of
diseases, and benefits all classes, men,
women and children. 1t is not a
theory, but system of scientific treat
ment directed to the development and
naturalization of all the nerve centers
of the body. 1t is the nerve centers
that control the fluids of life. If these
nerves are sub.normal, or not In their
natural condition, some nerve or
nerves must necessarily suffer. 1t may
be that the nerves to the stomach are
the ones who suffer, and then stomach
trouble follows 1t may be that the
nerves to the liver become affected
whereupon the sufferer has torpid liv-
er, gall stones, Indigestion, insomnia
and these troubles are sure to lead
to others. This rule applies surely
to every organ of the body, and 1t is
readily seen that there must be har-
mony among nerve centers before
there can be perfect health. Dr. Ber-
nard's method teaches the pupil how
to attain and preserve this harmony
by means of scientific treatment. The
convenience and simplicity of the
method will commend it to people who
are given to thinking and reasoning.
If you want your ailments clothed
with mystery and surrounded by long
and unpronounceable terms, do not
seek DR.. Bernard's help. DR.. Bernard
tells you that all diseases have natural
and Simple causes. and natural and
simple remedies. Years ago in COM
pany with his father, a surgeon, DR..
Bernard fathomed the princip rs of all
healing sciences. 1t it not therefore
an exaggeration when he declares that
he teaches a new kind of treatment,
rational kind, and scientific kind. and
kind that is safer and superior to all
others. 1t is unlike physical develop
ment in that it goes deeper than the
muscles, for it is development of
the nerve centers, which ~radually
creates healthy condition of the
nerves themselves. 1t is unanswera-
BILE logic that when the nerves are
healthy and strong they in turn make
pure blood, which builds up the organs
of the body and strengthens the mus
cles. The solution of the problem Of
keeping the nerve centers in harmony
is undoubtedly one. of the greatest
medical discoveries of the age. Like
all great discoveries in any science,
it is simplicity personified, and it is
readily understood why the method
will develop sickly individual into a
strong and healthy one. The method
does not require any apparatus; 1t is
easily followed and cannot do any
harm. This is not true of the use of
drugs, which are deadly in their ma
| ture and which weaken the system
they do not benefit
In teaching this system DR.. Bernard
| has found that as good results are OBJ
I tanned by correspondence as by actual
contact of patient and physician. The
course of instruction is not tedious; 1t
! is reasonable and within the reach of
| the poor. Remember, that it is a
method that is not irksome, but which
will quickly become a diversion and
pleasure. DR.. r. Bernards office is
