Doctor Byars' Vast Experience

Doctor Bycrs' enormous experience in treating
the sick, together with his natural Gift OF Heal
ing, renders him capable of doing many things
that would be considered impossible by other
physicians. No physician in Pennsylvania. no
matter how mature his years or how great his
experience, has treated one-tenth of the number
of cases that he has. Doctor Byers has always
maintained that very few physicians, however we'll
trained in their profession, are qualified by nature
TO treat the afflicted. lie always protested against
the enormous fees asked by most physicians. and
considers them heartless and mcrcenary He has
always protested against the monthly payment
idea as practiccd by some physicians, who keep
their patients month after month, each month
supposed to be the last, until finally they have
paid hundreds of dollars without any benefit or
relief"
Doctor Byers considers it the duty
of a physician, where he has failed
to benefit the patient, to return the
fee paid.
All business is conducted such principles,
and why not medicine? When person pays
for thing, he expects and is justly entitled to
get yalte received.

Why Physlclans Fall 10 Cure

The reason that physicians have failed TO euro
in the past is because they have not understood
the true cause Of disease. They have empiricaly
given remedies because they have been told by
Others or have read in medical works that sucl,
and such u remedy was good for such and such
disease. This is a theory based on q wrong
foundation. All disease Is due TO a disorganiza.
