In the meantime all the doctors who have so long been with Dr. Meyers & Co., and who have cured and restored so many men on the Pacific Coast, are still at their post, as willing as ever and still more capable of healing the sick, giving strength to the weak and hope to the despondent. Alling men always find it a pleasure to call on Dr. Meyers & Co. They are given the most courteous attention and learn much of value about their physi- cal condition, even if they do not de- cide to take treatment. THREE WAYS OF BEING CURED. Sufferers may call at the San Fran- cisco office, consult a part of the staff when they make their regular monthly visits to interior towns, or take the home-cure treatment. While it is pref- erable to see patients in many in- stances, it is not always necessary. Dr. Meyers & Co. have been using a successful system for curing out-of- town patients for many vears. Thou- sands of men throughout the West have been made strong and healthy in this manner. If it is not convenient for you to see the doctors. write them a letter. They will send you free of charge ques- tion list and give you much valuable advice. After you learn the exact na- ture of your ailment and find out the cost -of treatment, you can be cured or not, just as you pleas DELAY MAY MEAN DEATH. If you have a symptom don’t imagine that it does not mean anything. Symp- toms always mean something, as thou- sands have learned to their sorrow. If you have an ailment do not labor under the delusion that it will “Get well it- self.” Such things, unfortunately for mankind. never occur. A sufferer may feel better at times, but in such in- stances the deadly enemy is only lurk- ing in the shadows of a dangerous stimulant or temporary relaxation of pain to spring upon his unsuspecting victim like a veritable demon of de- struction. A few dollars should not stand in the way of health, life and happiness. Na- ture decreed that you should be sound and_healthy. If you are not in that condition at the present moment, you are doing an injustice to yourseif, friends and family by not being cured. AILMENTS THEY CURE.
