and unequalled equipment, do not hest
tate to recommend us to those suffering
with chronic diseases of the particular

of treating, and frequently send us their
patients when such patients require such
other treatments than drugs as cleo
tricity, massage, the X rays, etc We do
not, therefore put ourselves in compe-
tition with the regular visiting family
physician. They have their own noble
and absolutely necessary mission in the
field of fevers, pneumonia, obstetrics and
all manner of acute diseases. We only
treat such chronic diseases as catarrh,
consumption, rheumatism, cancer chron-
is female and special diseases of men,
and we write this not to reflect upon or
to dsparage the efforts and labors of
competitor, but to warn those who may
be over-credulous against the receptions
of the baser element of advertising medi-
cine fakirs, with whom we pray that we
may never be COMPOUNDED and with which
class we would not have our names men
toned in connection in any manner, form
or fashion.
But as some of our jealous rivals have
sought to disparage our work by assert
ing that we advertised and illustrated
by cuts in the papers things which we
we do not have, we now, to prove their
falsehood, offer reward of 500 to any
man or woman who will come to our
offices and point out or name a single
thing that W q ha ad cd xubi lob,
we cannot exhibit, andto further evince
our earnestness in all the claims we make
as to our many diplomas from medical
colleges and post graduate medical
schools our many and varied advantages

offer to any man or woman wanting to
secure the best treatment obtainable.

make a like investigation we will. II we

cured free of all charges pay their ex-
penses of being treated by any others
who may show a better equipment than
we possess.
This bold proposition is made to in
duce you to look before you leap" to
investigate and learn for your own good
what advantages we offer to the sick
and afflicted. We want you to come and
with your own eyes learn what a wonder
full array Of scientific advantages we
possess for the curing of our patients.
and then we want you to learn the fact
that we will cure you for less money
than less favorably equipped doctors will
charge you for treatment that does not
cure.
No matter what your disease nor Of
how Ing duration. no matter who may
have failed to cure you nor how many
have tried and failed. come and see
