THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1895 Great Home Remedy, Ia Indorsed by the People of the Pacific Coast--- Doctors, Lawyers, Tinsmiths, Carpenters, Draymen, Women, Children and HMen. What the Medical Fraternity Has to Say About °*° HAS A REPUTATION WIDE, {So Says Dr. Strahan, and His Word Cannot Be Doubted. Stéytug for a few days Iz the oity {s Dr. J. 8 H. Strahan, one of the few men who have made a Rame in the medical world which is international fn 1ts scope and & Synonym for alf that is honorable in its admitted decency. Money—no matter how large the amount—could not induce Dr. Strahan to allow bis name to be used to support the merits of any remedy if he had not comclusively proved its merits, and 1t 15 even doubtfal it he woald now alicw his name to appear before the public but for the fact that o his practice he has seen more than one wonder emazate from Californta. Dr. Strahan holds the position of conauliing phy- siofan to the Northampton Roysl Hospital, Eng- isnd, and fs the author of four standard works oa bereditary diseases. Indeed, heis the recogaized authority on that class of fnsanity. In England— acd, fndeed, in Europe—he has a large practice, and when soen by a reporter he avowed that whilst 1t was scarcely what was considered ‘“quite free from question,” he was willing to give his optnion of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, because ho had ‘yted it. “Do you wamt to quote me?’ he aid. “If you will permit,” was the reply, sd in his own caligraphy Dr. Strahan hss sald a few things which are werth “putting fa your pipe and smoking.” Somewhat ever a year ago X had a so- vere case of what appeared to be inelp- lent serofula. Thers was, so far as one could judge, no reason for the appear- ance of the discase, and the microscopl- cal examination of the epldermal seale Jeft me in an unsatistied state of mind as to whether 1t was wise to treat the case in the ordinary way. From one of your medical men of the highest standing ¥ had obtained a large number of proprictary remedies for the purpose of analysis. I happened to get In the package two bot- | tles of “Jay’'s Vegetable Sarsaparilla,’” and X determined from the result of my analysis of the one bottle that the remedy was possibly just what might sult the case. So X gave the other bottle in what X thought proper doses, and my oplnlon was sustained In the best possible way, for my patient had lost all traces of external evidences of the disease when I left Eng- 1and, his condition has so much im- proved under simple treatment by cool- ing lotlons and the proprictary remedy which X have mentioned that X shall have no hesitancy In saying that I consider 1t a most valuable addition to the remedial agents that we know of, and I shall pre- scribe 1t freely with confidence. But yon must remember that ‘“Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla 1s not the only wonderful thing that California has produced. J. H. 8. STRAEAN, M. D, M. R. ©. 8. HAS AN HONORED PLACE. Dr. Geodale Speaks of the Place eof Sarsaparilla in the Pharmacopeia, There happens to be one of the most genuinely stralghtforward men, from A newspaper man's view, located at 1033 Markot street, in this city, that one conld readily fird in a day's march, and you | can #nd a whole ot of men if you go out marching His name fs J. R. Goodale; he s an M. d his s a mame that you could *“ comjure " 1n the East. Dr. Goodale has not been here long, but he has been here 3 sufficient length of time to ge the re- spect of every one with whom he has come in con- tact, and principally because of- his goed manly charact It is safe to say that mot onlyfshis professional abillty of the highest order, buthe values his personal honor 3 a pricele ss gift. These Statements Are Made About Joy’s Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. Sarsaparilla has long had an henored place in the Pharmacopeoia, and when combined with other pure vegotable medicinals, as I am assured is tio case in Joy’s, It forms an excellent tontc and al- terative, and one which may be pre- scribed with beneficial results by any practitioner. J. B. GOODALE, M. D. “Will you say for publication What you think of Sarsaparilla?” was asked him. 1 may offend my brethren,” was the reply. * But you will tell the truth?" Well, of course, I'Tecognize the fact thatyou can come here and fnterview me, and I could not object very well 1t you published what I sald, but 1f you will giveme a moment I can say foryou on paper just what I think of tho remedy, sud then you can make what use you like of that" ‘What Dr. Goodale wrote follows, and when it Is etatod that for some fourteen years or 80 he represenfed the State of Rhode Island in the National Modical Convention, sod thst he has scen the grest Koleotic Medical Sehool grow from nimest {ts very inciplenoy. s faintides may be had as to his right as well as his ebility to Judge. This {s his modest statcment: Dr. Goodale, a8 the cut plainly shows, {s & man of exceptional intelligence. Ho has only been in practice here for a short time, but long enough to ailow his abllity and fategrity to become matters of pubifc knowledge. Hisgood falth nas made him many friends, and his professional abllity {s bring- 1og him & practice that others possibly enmvy. But 10 no way will Dr. Goodale step out of the way of honorable conduct fn order to benefis himself, and the years to come Wil probably crown his life's devotion to his profession with hLonors of which any member of any medical school might well be envious. When men of this type say so much for “Joy's Vegstable Sarsaparilla,” can there be any reasonable doubt as to its honest value? Dr. Good- ale has for thirty years been successfully treating women's deseases, cancer, catarrh and bleod dls- generally. JUST WATCH THE SUBSTITUTE- No Man WIll Doubt the Veracity of This Statement by Dr. Bonesteel. 1t happens tNAY fn the medicsl world there are & large number of clever men who, when entering the profession, from ons csuse or snother feel rawn to some special branch of their fon, and to that particalar branch they give thelr particular attention, while of course not negleciing the everyday work which eomes to overy doctor. They are termel speciallsts, and smongst them there 18 noone in this city whose Dame i more widely knowa than 1s that of Dr. C. A. Bon el All acquired dis es of the blood bave had for years his close attention, and as an suthority on general blood diseases and their rem- @dies be has for years been considered one of the fow men qualified to give aa opinion which willnot admis of betag questionsd. Dr. Bonesteel has used Joy's Sarsaparflla in his practice, and he is nouafraid to say so. He bas fondd it benefiotal and he does not presoribe any other sarsaparilla That {s proof positive as to what he thinks of it, but fn order that the publlo might kaow more cleariy. how he siands on this question Dr. Bonestesl very kindly made the fol- lowiag statement at the request of the reporter who called on him: Each school of med! value of the agent, but I am Informed that a number of viclous lodides are sold under tha name. These cannot be taken indiscrim- Inately without great risk, but a genuine Vegetable Sarsaparilla, such as Iam told Joy's is, 1s without question very benofi- cial in mearly all diseases arising from constipation and irregular action of the whoels. ~ DK. C. A. BONESTEEL. Thatis a sound opinfon snd will carry with 1t great weight, for {tis the oplnlon of & man Who 15 1n a position to kuow, and whose daily practice Drings him 10to contact with as great s variety of affictions arising from tmpure blood as perhaps any practitioner in this Btate sees. Doubters should call on the courteous docior athis ofiice, 1051 Market street, for he Is not only an acknowl- edgedly clever man, but hs has utation a3 a sucoesaful treater of chronfo dise: TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL Doctor W.

An Interesting Chat Had by an “Exam- Iner” Reporter With a Well-Known Phystclan—His Opinion Regarded by Mis Fellow-Professionals as Worthy Due Weight. ~May I ask your opinfon es to the medicinal value of pure sarsaparilla?” said a reporter to Dr. W. H. Fearn, the well'’knowa medical man whese offices are at 1238 Market street. “I shall be giad to g1ve you any {nformatien in my power,” was the courteous reply, and then the doctor added: “If this is for publication I certatnly prefer to write what I bavs to say.” The reporter admitted that 1t would probably be made public use of, and then with his usual desire 1o ald suy one in ady Way that lles (n his power the doctor wrote the short statement which follows: X see no reason why a simple home rem- edy may not be efficacl .

Bat ¥ do not state that every Sarsaparilla which is advertised is pure or an advisable remedy te be taken by every ome. Dis- erimination necessary. WALTER H. FEARN, M. D. “ Andnow that I have given you fhis opinien may 1 ask you why you came to me {n ‘préferencs to any one slse?” asked tho doctor. “Yell, perhaps you are as well, and certainly favorably known as any of the youager medical men having s good-class practice in the olty, and it Is freely admitted by your confreres that what- ever you may say {s worthy conmsideration,” was thereply. And thatls trae. Dr. Fearn has been In successful practice here aver since his graduation. He s held in highes teemby all the membars of his profession who Xnow him, and by none more highly than the Dean of the colloge that fssued his diploms. An up- right professional career s certainly one of the Dighest ways of helping humanity through an ex- 1stence, and it i on these lines that Dr. Fearn has always beon known. Hs has becn endowed by nature with unusual ability, and be has made tho most of his opportunities.

A gonial dis- position, added tonativo taloat, has caused him 10 moke a friend whenever he bas found a patient, and s strict adhercues 1o profassionsi ethics and a desire 1o doall the goed that ifes in his power have doubtiess helped to Win popularity for the clever young practitioner. Dr. Fearn's practice has coverod a largs number of quite dificuls cases, and his skill 1s recognized by those most competens to judge, his attention to acnso being regarded as withont question most valusble.

One Of the most successtul members of the medical profession who has confined his sttention principally to der matology, and whose practiss is growing dally on account of his ability and good work, is Dr. T. Car- penter, whose offices are at 1346 Markes street. Dr. Carpenter has 0cossion to see very many Dphases of the resultant scarred and defaced b odies arlstog from impure blood, and he fs constan tly called on to prescribe for such troubles. And Dr. Carpeater, whilst being sensible emough to prescribe a propristary remedy when he sees that the condition of his patlent requires it. {s slso man aud geatloman enough to say that he does 0. Some of the leading dragglsis conld tell interesting storfes about medical men who will not admit tha t there can be any good i & patent medicine, and yet they prescribo practically nothiug else. But Dr. Carpenter {s “made of sterner stu™ thaa that. He says frankly what his oplnioa {s. and When asked to commit it to paper for publicatioa he id not object to writing what he knew. but ceur- teously asked that his name might be given a: little publicity as possible, as he did not wish to “get himselt advertised.” These sentiments are honorsvle and just, and What Dr. Carpenter has seen fit to say about Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla won't lose any welght thereby. Mis statement 18 short, sharp and very much to the poiat. It fol- lows: The fact that a medicine 1s advertised does not In my opinion necessarily de- tract from its worth. Many good reme- dies have been placed on the market, and as 1s well known to the medical fra- ternity generally they are usually pre- pared by a secret process.

A Well-Known Country Practitioner Comes Out Squarely, Awongst the visitors to tho city at this moment happens to be Dr. W. L, McFarland of Mendocino county, and the docor happenod to bd #ighs fn the Ppsthof the reporier who was asking for opinions 8 to the merits of sarsaparilla as a remedy. “I will certalnly give you my oplnion,” he sald kindly, “but I am afrald that it will be ouly s repetition of what your own medical men here say. When he was assured that 1c was desired to get as great a variety of authorities as possible he sald: *Very well, then; you may quots me ss saying this: There are few medical men whe have not prescribed sarsaparilia in some shape or form. X have found from experience that Joy’s is qulte safe to prescribe under almost any clrcumstances.

I know It to be so from seelng 1ts beneficial effects in my own practlce. But the annoylng way In which I find some city as well as country druggists have of trying to Induce the patients to take some other sarsaparilla when Joy’s has been prescribed annoys me mach. Dr. McFariand's optafon 1s shared by very maay medical men, all of equally good standing in the medical professfon with Limself, but 1t shows a sound, manly spirit when he comes out and makes & statement of this sort, for no matier how much {t may be the habit of the medical profession to use proprietary remedies, they are certalnly not glven to lotting the publlc know really how go od they are. [T IS A BLOOD PURIFIER. Dr. Wesley Rogers, the Well-Known Lung Specialist, So Avers. Few men have a bettor right to have their opin fons quoted than has Dr. R. Wosley Rogers, the gentleman who has recently patented an appar- atus for the cure of taberculo sis. A distinguished member of his profession is the authority for the statement thas Dr. Rogers has invented the most valuable help for consumptives that this century hasseen. Itconsists of a method of imtroduoing either oarbemats of creosos or pure ersoseis inte the Dblood, and 4 has been fonnd to do this fn every case without burden- 10g the stomach (for the creosote eaters the Iungs by {nhalation and mot under the slighest pressure). Itis mot possible to give & full d scription of the apparatas here, but it {s sufslen ¢ %0 say that a nebular spray bottle is the medium of tranemisston, and 80 effeotually does 1t unfail- ingly do ts work that {thas been found n every case which has baon exsmined that the blood be- comes 80 charged with the creosote that the odor 18 quite distinct If o 1ittie {8 taken from the patient inafow minutes after recelving the treatment.
