An Emjnennt New York Chemist and scientist
Makes a Free Offer to our Readers
The distinguished New York chemist, A.
Slocum, demonstrating his discovery of a
liable and absolute cure for Consumption (Pul
monary Tuberculosis) and all bronchial, throat
lung and chest diseases, stubborn coughs, lung
and chest affections, general decline and weak
ness, loss of flesh, and all conditions of wasting
away, will send THIiKE FREE BOTTLES (all
different) of his discoveries to any afflicted
reader of the H eadlight writing for them,
His “New Scientific Treatment" has ci
thousands permanently by its timely use,
he considers it a simple professional duty
suffering humanity to donate a trial of his iu-
fallable cure.
Science daily developed new wonders, and
this great chemist, patiently experimenting for
years, has produced results as beneficial to hu-
mauity as can be claimed by any modern genius.
Hisasse tion that lung troubles and consumpt
ion are curable in any climate is proven by
•heartfelt letters of gratitude," filed in his
American and European laboratories in thou
sands from those cured in all parts of the
world.
Medical experts concede that bronchial, chest
and lung troubles lead to consumption, which,
uninterrupted, means speedy and certain
death.
Simply write to T. A. Slocum. M. D.; 98 Pitie
street, New York, giving post-office and express
address, and the free medicine will be promptly
sent. Sufferers should take iiustant advantage
of his generous proposition.
