I POSITIVELY CURE YOU WHEN IN THE FIRST OR SECOND STAGE. I often cure in the third stage and always greatly benefit. One- sevenths of all deaths are due to consumption, a disease caused by a germ that must first be killed before nature can restore the afflicted.

Climatic cures are not permanent, because the germ is simply inactive, compelling the sufferer to remain in the climate. I kill the germ, enabling you to return to your family, friends and usual vocations of life. My discovery is my own and is known to no other physician but myself. It contains no opiates, narcotics or stimulants of any kind and there are positively no injurious after effects whatever. Do not drag out a miserable existence waiting for the recovery that never comes, but give my remedy a trial and be cured permanently.

Write to me for particulars if you cannot come to see me, but come and see me if you can. I will show you many testimonials from grateful patients I have cured that must convince you. CONSULTATION AND ADVICE FREE. L. F.
