readily and conscientiously warns
that person, be he young or old, that
catarrh is the first stepping stone to
consumption and that a cure now
comparatively easy, simple and mex
pensive will be entirely out of the
question few years later, especially
if the patient is nearing or past mid
die life. One of our readers is asking
us why the doctor is so positive of
this fact. Is you were in his Office to-
day and should ask this question he
could take you into his back Office
and show you the records of thou
sands of cases that started in simple
catarrh but being checked in season
an absolute and permanent cure re-
suited. What is true in catarrh is
equally true in hundreds of other
cases of various chronic diseases that
he treats so successfully.
Nervous troubles of all kinds are
speciality with DR.. Greene and he has
shown conclusively that the condition
of the nerves has an al-important in
f1uence in all chronic troubles. His
remedies act upon the system through
the nerves and blood and being made
entirely of vegetable ingredients they
have demonstrated by the records in
his Office their wonderful efficiency.
Copies of each letter that he sends
are made part of tine records so that
be the correspondence long or short,
connected or interrupted by an inter-
val of years, the doctor can at mo-
moments notice inform himself as to
the history of the disease as though
each case was the only one he was
treating; thus the reader will see how
rational and natural treating diseases
by correspondence is, and the DOCTORS
success is the best guarantee of the
feasibility of the plan. The consulta-
tions whether by mail or orally are
free, the charges made being simply
for the medicines prescribed. Thus it
will be seen that it will cost nothing
to have the DOCTORS opinion on your
case and then you can use your own
judgment in regard TO ordering the
medicines that he states will effect the
cure.
We hear one of our readers asking
how it is that DIR. Greene can treat a
case that he has never seen more
successfully than the family physician
who has known the patient from birth.
That is just the question that we put
to the genial doctor and this is his
reply: "Your family physician has of
necessity to have more or less knowl-
edge of every complaint and disease
that flesh is heir to. He has such a
wide range of practice that it is utterly
impossible that he should be spec
ialist in any one branch. We devote
no time whatever in this Office to
accidents, surgery, or thousand and
one branches of medical practice, but
confine ourselves to chronic disease
and nervous disorders, and their at
tending ills such as dyspepsia, rheu-
matism, kidney troubles, catarrh
nervous prostratiop, nervous debility,
female complaint, blood and skin
troubles. Thus it will readily be seer
that we can do our patients much
better service than it is possible for a
general practitioner to do for his
nearest neighbor.
"But beyond all this, there is the
fact that our experience is not with a
few cases but thousands of cases, that
our records of every case are com
plete, making a perfect history to
refer to whenever unusual compiled
tons present themselves. That which
must necessarily be experimental
with any local doctor is with us 6
practical certainty. Certain symp-
toms indicate with eXactness to US the
condition with which we have to cope
and how successful our methods are
the records show"
And certainly such an array of case
record books was never before con.
tanned in any physicians office. Row
upon row of great volumes, each vol.
ume containing thousands of records
of cases, until the whole number o.
cases treated amounts up into the
hundreds of thousands, are one of the
greatest features of the DOCTORS pri
vate Office and testify eloquently o
the vastness of his practice among the
sick, the enormousness of his CORES
pondence with patients from far ant
near, and the great work he is doins
in the cure of disease, the relief o
sickness and suffering in every section
of our land.
