OUR TERMS BUSINESS-LIKE AND FAIR. Occasionally persona solicit us to
undertake the cure of these ailments, and, in case of failure, receive
no compensation. They write: "If you will _warrant_ that your
prescriptions will result in a _perfect restoration to health_, we will
gladly pay the fees that you ask." The absurdity of such a request is
apparent, and therefore we answer: "We cannot _warrant_ that you will
live even for the next twenty-four hours. We do not bet, play for
stakes, or wager our skill for money. Personal responsibility cannot be
shifted or evaded, and life and health, with all their momentous
considerations, are necessarily individual affairs. Therefore a proposal
to make the conditions of health a subject of speculation is a challenge
to gamble." The patient may not comply with the specified conditions,
and the physician's success depends upon a faithful application of the
prescribed treatment. For these reasons only a quack will be a party to
any such transaction. Ours is not a trading, hazardously speculative
profession. Besides, thousands of our patients reside long distances
away and we cannot know of their responsibility or honesty, nor spend
time inquiring after their financial standing.

EVIDENCES OF THE CURABILITY OF SPERMATORRHEA AND IMPOTENCY. Many
individuals afflicted with spermatorrhea and impotency, particularly
those who have been swindled by some of the many charlatans who are to
be found in nearly every city, are incredulous, and doubt our ability to
cure these maladies. Others are skeptical, because their physician, who
may be a very skillful general practitioner, but who has had very little
or no experience in treating these delicate maladies, has failed to
relieve them, and, perhaps, has told them the disease is incurable.

We therefore beg the indulgence of our readers for here offering some
indisputable evidence of the extraordinary success which we have
achieved, by our peculiar methods of treating these affections, as
pursued at the World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute.

This evidence is introduced for the encouragement of an unfortunate
class of invalids, for many of whom existence has ceased to possess any
charms. The grateful manifestations which we have received from this
class of sufferers have afforded us one of the greatest pleasures of our
lives, and have alone been a rich remuneration for the diligent study
and arduous labors devote
