His New Scientific Treatment" has
cured thousands permanently by its time
ly use, and he considers it a simple pro
fessional duty to suffering humanity to
donate a trial of his inf ali ble care.
Science daily develops new wonders,
ani this great chemist, patiently experi
menting tor years, has produced results as
beneficial to humanity as can be claimed
by any modern genius. His assertion that
lung troubles and consumption are curable
in any climate is proven by '"heartfelt let
ters of gratitude," filed in his .American
and European laboratories in thousands
from those cured in all parts or the world.
Medical experts concede that bronchial,
chest and lung troubles lead to Consump
tion, which, uni-.turrupted, means speedy
and certain death.
