Private Dispensary, Palmerston Buildings, Foot d Queen-street, Auckland. Established for the Scien tific and Speedy Cure of Chronic, Nervous and Special Diseases. Dr. Speer is a Regular Graduated Physician, educated at Harvard College, U.S. He ha* devoted a lifetime to, and is acknowledged to be the most expert Physician in his specialty in the United States. Young Men and Middle-aged Men, wh« luffer from Nervous and Physical Debility, Loss ol Energy and Memory, Eruptions on the Face, Mental Depression, Kidney and Bladder Troubles, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Paralysis, Fit*, Spinal Disease, St. Vitus’ Dance, Liver Complaint, Asthma, Catarrh, Heart Disease, Gravel, Piles, &C., and are tired of taking mineral drugs, will do well to come and try the Doctor’s method of cure, as it will, if properly applied, relieve them of their sufferings and restore them to health. 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 curablt, ht mill Ull you to; if it is not, ht mill tell you that; for he will not undertake a case unless he is confident of effecting a cure. It will cost you nothing for consul tation, so please call and satisfy yourselves that the Doc tor understands your case. Dr. S. cures Humours and Diseases of the Blood, and Ladies who are aifiicted by any of the following complaints:—Cold extremities, weak stomachs, lame and weak backs, nervous and sick headaches, constipation and indigestion, pair\ in the side and back, leuchorrea, etc., etc. I wish it distinctly understood that I do not claim to perform impossibilities, or to have miraculous power. All applying to me will receive my honest opinion of their complaints. No experimenting. I mil guarantee a positive cure in every case I undertake, or forfeit j£aoo.
