ENDORSEMENT BY THE PUBLISHER. Having arranged with the author for a Colonial' edition of the " New Method," I hereby certify that I have taken pains to ascertain, m a practical way, that the book is all that these and scores of other testimonies declare. It also contains all that is found m the Hall pamphlet and about five times more. W. Corrie Johnston. The "New Method "is a very plain, unassuming book. Its value is m its contents, not m its make up. We are not selling printing paper, but infobma.tio>~ worth scores of pounds to any one, both as a means of preserving health and curing disease. Wken one pays 10s. 6d. for a patent medicine, the money and the drug are soon gone. But the information purchased m the " New Method "is used every day m every year throughout one's life. The J"\o York Publisher says, "We have had a standing offer for four tnouths to refund the money if the \>f <. was not as represented and did not do all that was claimed for it, and m all that time, out of the m^f thousand copies sold, only one has been returned, and the pur chaser acknowledged that he knew his case to be incurable when he purchased the book." Our testimonials sound exaggerated many times —and yet they are the heartfelt expressions of the pur chasers of the book, unsolicited, and made m the course of business letters. The book is not written by a "crank," or a " quack," but by a well-known scientific physician m good standing, W\ E. Fobest, 8.5., M.D.. Fellow of N.Y. Academy of Medicine, etc., etc. We claim that there is A PHYSIOLOGICAL CURE BY THE NEW METHOD for nearly all the ills that flesh is heir to. Of course we do not claim every disease can be cured by the method we advo cate. "We cannot cure consumption m its advanced stages, nor cancer, nor malignant growths, nor organic heart disease (and we have never heard of any drugs that will cure these). "VVe cannot perform miracles —we cannot raise the dead. We do not claim that diseases due to a, profound change m the system, diseases due to impaired nutrition, to local oonge»tions, to displacements, can invariably be cured. W 9 L.

INTRODUCTION. This book is a prescription for our patients. If you came into the office and consulted us for any of the conditions set forth m this little work, we should advise you much as we have advised m these pages, and charge you accordingly. As we cannot talk with you face to face, we shall give you suggestions m writing. Our object is to tell yon how much, how very much, you can do at home without drugs m the cure of most chronic complaints. We are not a disbeliever m drugs when drugs arc properly used. But we hold that the proper place for them, m most cases, is m the acute diseases. In chronic diseases other measures are more important, and drugs, when used, should be employed only temporarily, and m a secondary place. We hold that the physician should be something more than a dispenser of pills, powders and plasters, and that his highest aim should be to teach the patient to cure himself by simple and natural means. We have tried to set forth these natural, simple, but most powerful means of curing disease, m a clear and common-sense manner, so that anyone can understand and apply them. The methods of treatment here given are such as can do no harm. They will not interfere with medical treutment of any kind if the patient is under thf

[The above reads like a patent medicine testimonial and yet it is the spontaneous expression of one who has tested the book. Madison, Wis., March 23,1891. Hbalth Supplies Co. In due time I received the " New Method," and when I first saw it I said a very cheap affair for two dollars. I read it, and every article I read increased the size of the book, and as I re-read the articles, the book ■jrew largtr ttill, and now I think it contains a vast amount of good sound common sense, and far more practical than many a large book treating upon the diseases and cures of suffering hu manity.
