B the Wealthy Chicago Specialist, Will
Send 81 90 Worth of His New Indi.
vidual Treatment Free.

That DR. Miles is one of the most
successful and reliable of physicians
is proven by hundreds of testimonials
from well-known people. One patient
cured after failure of eleven Grand
Rapids physicians. two after having
been given up by six or seven Chicago
physicians, another after nine of the
leading doctors In New York City,
Philadelphia and Chicago failed.
Thousands of testimonials sent on
request.
The late Prof. j. S. Jewell, NJ. D. :,
editor of the journal of Nervous and
Mental Diseases, published at Chicago,
advised DR.. Miles to "by all means
publish your surprising results. I"
Prof. J. p. Ross, M. D., President of
Rush Medical College, wrote in 1874 /:
DR.. Miles has taken two courses of my
private instruction in disease of the
heart and lungs" Col. N G. Parker,
Ex- Treasurer of South Carolina, says
II believe DR.. Miles to be an atten.
tive and skillful physician in field

Of the 9th Regulars, U. S. A., San
Diego, CAL, says: "Your Special
Treatment has worked wonders when
all else failed. l had employed the
best medical talent and had spent
81, OOO."
When an experienced and wealthy
physician offers to prescribe free
g. 90 worth of treatment for diseases
of the heart, nerves, stomach. or
dropsy, it is conclusive evidence that
he has great faith in his skill. And
when hundreds of prominent men and
women freely testify to his unusual
skill and the superiority of his New
Individual Treatment, his liberality
is certainly worthy of serious con.
sideration.
The Doctors new system of treat
ment is thoroughly scientific and i'm
mensely superior to ordinary methods
