The Doctor uses no mineral preparations; his treatment consists wholly in the use of vegetable remedies. Many are they who have im planted in their systems, by improper use of calomel, seeds which produce an annual crop of disease. To such he would say, come and be healed. It matters not what your troubles may be, come and let the Doctor examine your case. If it is curable , he will tell fou so ; if tt is not , he will tell p/ou that; for he will not undertake a case unless he is confident of affecting a cure. It will cost you nothing for consul tation, so please call and satisfy yourselves that the Doc tor understands your case.
