Of all disease; Ihe gteat. lirsl cause j Springs from neglect of Nature's laws. Ont'i B WOT, WtIESI A (X'RI! is guaranteed in all Mages of SECRET j DISEASES, SELF-ABUSE, NERVOUS De hility, Strictures, Gleets, Gravel, Diabeies, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Mer curial Rheumatism, Scrofula, I'aitis in the Bones and Ankles, Diseases of (he Lungs, Throat, Nose and Eyes, Ulcers upon the body or limbs, Cancers, Dropsy, Edileptic Fits, St. Vita's Dance, and all diseases oris, ing from a derangement of the Sexual Or gans. Such ns nervous trembling, loss of memory, loss of power, general weakness, dimness of vision with peculiar vpr.ls appearing before the eyas, loss of sight, wakefulness dysuepsiu, Liver disease, eruptions upon the face, pain in the hack and head, female itreeulartties and all improper discharges from Both sexes. It matters not from what cause the disease origi nated, however long standing or olisti iate the case, rccoveiy is certain.and in n shorter time i than a permanent cure can lie efl'ected liy any oiher treatment, even after the disease has hnf lied the skill of eminent physicians and resist ed all tho means of cure. The medicines ore i pleasant without odor, causing r.o sickness 1 and free from mercury or balsam. During 20 ' years of practice, I have rescued from the 1 juwsofdea'h many thousands, who, in trio ! last stages of the above mentioned diseases had bean given up to die hy their physicians, which warrants me in promising to the afflict ed, who may placs themselves under my care, o perfect and must siecdv cu'c. Secret dis. eases are tho greatest enemies to health, ns { they are the first cause of Consumption, fcicrof : ula and many other diseases, and should has i teiror to the human family. As a permanent 1 cure is scarcely ever effected, a majority of (he cuscs falling into the hands of incompe tent persons, who not only fail to cure the diteases hut ruin the constitution, filling tho syßtem with mercury, which, with the disease, hastens the suirersi into a rapid consumplion. But should the disease and the ticalinent not cause death speedllv and Ihe victim mar ties, the disease i- entailed upon children, who ute bom with feeble constitutions, and the current of life corrupted by a virus which be trays itself in Scrofula, Tetter, Ulcers, Erup tions and other affections of the skin, Eyes, Throat and Lungs, entailing them to an early giave. Self-aliuso is another formidable enemy to health, for nothing else in the diead catalogue of human diseases causes su destructive a drain upon tho syrteni, drawing its thousands of victims through a few years of suffering down to an untimely grave. It destroys tho Ner vous system, rapidly wastes away the energies of life, causes mental derangement, prevents the proper development of the system, dis qualifies for marriage, society, business, and all earthly happiness, and leaves the sufferer wrecked in body and mind, predisposed to consumption and a (tain of evils moro to he dieaded than death itself. With the fullest confidence I assure Ihe unfortunate viotisis of self-uhuse that a permanent and speedy cure can be effected, and with the abandonment of ruinous piactices my patients can be restored to robust, vigoious lieullh. 'i he afflicted are cautioned against tho use of Potent Medicines, for thcro are so many inge nious snares in the columns of the public pi in Is to catch and lob the unwaiy sufferers that millions have their constitutions ruined by thevjle compounds of quack doctors, or the equally poisonous nostrums v need as' Patent Medicines.' 1 have carefully analyzed many of the so called Putent Medicines and find that nearly all of tliern contain Corrosive Sutili male, which is one of Ihe strongest prepara tions of meicuty and u deadly poison, which instead ol curing the disease disables the sys tem for life. '1 luec-fourlha of the patent nostrums now in use are put up liy unprincipled and ignor ant persons, who do not understand even tbe alphabet of the Materia Medics, and are equal ly as destitute of any knowledge of the human system, having one object only in view, and that to make money regardless of consequence. Irregularities and all diseases of males and females treated on principles established by 20 years of practice, and sanctioned by thousands of the most remarkable cuies. Medicines with lull directions sent to any part of the United btates or Canadas, by patients tommunicating their symptoms by letter. Business correspon dence strictly confidential. Address J.
