ANOTHER LEPROSY
CURE IS OFFERED
This One Comes Recommended
by a Great Story
of Mystery.

most every mail, letters and circulars
from people who claim that they have
a sure cure for leprosy and want the
board to buy it of them. One of the
most recent is a naive compound Of ig-
noranee and mystery. While not par
ticularly ingenious in the method of
mystery, it is probable that it will ap-
peal to many of the credulous. 1t
sounds like the man who invented it
was probably a member of the Aneke
Jans-Heirs Association, and believes
that the property left in New Amster-
dam two hundred years ago by Aneke
JAMS il. still being held by some myster
ious government bureau awaiting the
Aneke Jams heirs. The medicine now
offered to the Board of Health is said
to be the discovery of an unnamed
scientist who lived in the fifteenth cen
fury and wrote book about it which
was lost and was unexpectedly found
lately. The statement that European
government has known about this book
and made search for it, is thrown in to
give an air of verisimilitude to the mat
ter.
The following is the letter received
by the board with the original spelling,
capitalization and punctuation preserv-
ed. AS this cure is offered free the
board decided to let the people who
have it send it here for trial if anyone
wants to try it. This is the letter:
Josefne Gerschweiler Remedy Co.
81 East 65th street New York. Su-
perintendent in charge of Leper Asy-
lum, Hawai-. Dear sir:-Knowing of a
leper-asylum in Hawai-, kept by the U.
S. Government, and the work done
there for the amelioration of these I'M
fortunate people you must needs be
very interested in regards to leprosy,
and anything pertaining to its cure,
and the relief of its poor sufferers.
We say leprosy is not incurable, and
have remedy for its absolute cure,
and we have already proved At by ex-
periments in the last three years, so
much so that A European Government
with possessions in the Tropic Zone,
where the disease exists, has the acqui-
sition of our remedy under considera-
tion, and we can show proofs to this
effect. Let us explain why this Euro
pean Government took note of US at
all. $3.50.
A great scientist living in the 18th
century, during his life wrote book
on medical science, diseases and their
cures, and he also went into very de-
tailed explanation of leprosy, giving a
prescription of a remedy for its abso-
lutte cure This book, the only one of
its kind in existence, has during gener
ations been in the possession of people
who have not been at all aware of the
great merits and blessings it contains,
and came into the hands of the pres
ent owner thru family tradition.
This secret of a cure for leprosy has
been known to have existed, and the
description of this book, it's. author is
known by the government in question,
and search has been often made of it's
whereabouts.
We knew that this book was very
valuable, and the remedies therein coni
tanned priceless, but we never imagined
in search of it, and are now keeping
same very carefully guarded. 1t will |
now be matter of only short duration |
when we expect to negotiate with this |
government.
But we want to bring this before the
whole world, and to sources where It |
will do the most good, and to let those |
people know that have charge of these |
e. h l. of
the terrible ravages of this dreadful |
disease.
There are people today whom we |
have cured, who had been in the worst |
stadium of leprosy, and who are liv- |
ing proofs of the wonderful efficiency |
of this remedy, and we can convince |
you by sworn statements that every |
word said here is a matter of fact and |
truth.
You may still be skeptical but it !
costs you nothing to write US and in
quire, and all we ask of you is to pick
out any of your patients that has lep-
tosv, and administer the remedy, and |
note the improvements which will take
place in their condition after few
weeks treatment.
We will send you without cost
enough OF the remedy uHth INC pa
tient is absolutely cured, and that we
nave proven it to you that here is
an absolute remedy and cure for lep-
rosy, and after you know its wonder
full powers, you can not then refuse to
use it.
We will further state that this rem
edy is absolutely harmless, it is veg
etable compound and made from herbs,
grown by Nature to cure, and contains
no poisonous drugs, and is efficient
against all diseases of the blood.
We ask you for the sake of the hap
piness of your patients, to write us,
for it viii eventually mean new hopes
and life to all of them and stamp out
the terrible name of this dread disease.
Yours Truly
