Story of the
Elk E'R- HI0F[F
CURE
For Consumption.

But a short time ago the entire sc1entihc
world, especially that portion OF it devoted
70 medicine was startled by the results
reached by a physician Of Vienna, Doctor
Adolf IIofY. man who had been trained In
tie best universities of Europe. and who
had the ripe experience that comes OF a
large practice and of association with one
Of the largest and best-equipped hospitals
In the world For years he had made
study of the respiratory organs OF man, ana
particularly had sought to fathom the mss-
tories of consumption that he might De
allie TO afford relief to suffering humanity.
The New York Journal heard of the Won
dcrful cures effected by Professor Hoh, and
resolved TO prove the matter for itself
That paper sent consumptive abroad nj
its own expense to test this discovery, ana

other cases Mt New York's famous hospital.
TIE Vanderbilt Clinic The presence of tu-
bercule bacilll was fully established by emil
n.ut hacterIologists. Placed under treat

lung specialist of Vienna, six guinea pigs
wore inoculated with this patients sputum.
All Of them developed tuberculosis and died
After three months treatment the Journal

U,.on his return the New York Life Insur-
ance Company issued policy on his lie.

ceremony. certified TO his cure.

prescriptions, were published in the New

this remarkable case. What 1t has accom-
plished is shown in part in the accompany

are handed out with the free trial bottles.
more extraordinary feature of the Hoff
Cure remains to be told. 1t is that in this
marvellous discovery Professor Hof builded
more wisely than he then knew. 1t has
been found that his cure. while directed
primarily against Consumption, is Just as
efficacious and much more prompt in its
action in cases CT Asthma. Catarrh and
bronchitis. The Eiker- Hoff Cure has dem
onstrated that his prescription is a posi-
tive cure for these diseases. which are but
the advance guards OF Consumption, requir-
ing but few weeks a. the most for tteir
successful eradication. 1t has cured rad
ically great numbers of people afflicted with
these maladies, besides those suffering from
coughs. colds and other disorders OF the
breathing organs of the human body.
In carrying out the humane work inaugu-
rated by Professor IIor the Eiker Drug
Company would invite attention to the ex-
IRENE reasonableness of price, but one dol
lar (S1.o0) per month. OF the Efker-H oT
Cure In a large number OF cases one
Iaonth treatment effects a complete cure.
Never before n positive cure offered to
the public for small charge, which
places It within the reach OF all classes Of
Icorle.
However. the immediate purpose of this
announcement is not TO sell the Eiker- Hot
Cure. but to persuade readers to call at the
address given and procure sample bottles In
order TO demonstrate for themselves the
virtues OF this remarkable remedy.
