No cure no pay. No mercury used. Hopeless cases especially invited.
No matter what cause, or how long standing, or what remedies
failed.
No Calomel, no Mercury, no Mineral Poisons will be administered
in any form in any disease; even after they have been pronounced
by the medical profession of 10 and 20 years' standing incurable
Beware of Drug Doctors and Consulting Chemists. Mercury is the
death of thousands! Nature versus Quackery!
See many who come blind from doctors, their full sight restored.
without consulting a medical man
after having been given up by most eminent doctors
Hopeless cases cured after doctors failed. Moderate charges
When other medical men have failed

no fee will be taken for medicine if he cannot promise a good
result

|
he will be at the service of those who prefer Herbal to other
systems of medication
nature's own system of healing all forms and phases of disease,
disregarding altogether the use of Mineral Drugs and Poisons. Success
certain in all cases undertaken.

By his own sharp searching for truth, he found that Surgery and
Physics are at fault, and that a practical bone-setter is better
than a surgeon. Thinks himself equal to any medical man hol ding
first-class diplomas
Signed agreement given, which provides that no cost is incurred
if cure be not effected
