WE, THEREFORE,

ADVISE ALL THOSE DESIRING TO VISIT US,

FIRST.--TO ASK FOR NO INFORMATION FROM POLICEMEN, OR THOSE APPEARING TO
BE POLICEMEN, IN OR ABOUT OUR DEPOTS. CONFIDENCE MEN OFTEN ASSUME A
STYLE OF DRESS SIMILAR TO THAT WORN BY POLICEMEN.

SECOND.--LET THE OBJECT OF YOUR VISIT TO THE CITY BE KNOWN TO NO ONE
WHOM YOU MEET ON THE CARS, OR IN THE DEPOTS OR NEAR THEM.

THIRD.--IF YOU HAVE A CHECK FOR BAGGAGE, WHEN THE BAGGAGE-MAN COMES
THROUGH THE CARS, AS ONE DOES ON EVERY TRAIN BEFORE IT REACHES THE CITY,
ASKING IF YOU WILL HAVE YOUR BAGGAGE DELIVERED ANYWHERE IN THE CITY, OR,
IF YOU WILL HAVE A CARRIAGE; IF YOU HAVE A TRUNK, GIVE HIM THE CHECK FOR
IT, PAY HIM 25 CENTS ONLY AND HE WILL HAVE IT DELIVERED AT THE INVALIDS'
HOTEL AND SURGICAL INSTITUTE. 663 MAIN STREET. (Do not forget the
number). You had better, also, procure a ticket from this baggage-man,
or agent, for a _coupe_ or carriage to our place, for which you will
have to pay only fifty cents. (Outside prices are higher.) This saves
all trouble and anxiety, as the agent will look carefully after both
yourself and baggage, and you are sure of reaching our place promptly
and safely. If you have only hand-baggage, such as bundles,
traveling-bags, or similar luggage, you can take it with you in the
carriage without extra cost.

Mr. C.W. Miller, whose agents solicit on all the in-coming trains for
the delivery of passengers and baggage, has an office in every passenger
depot in this city, to which you can apply if, by any chance, you miss
his agent on the train.

THE INVALIDS' HOTEL AND SURGICAL INSTITUTE IS OPEN DAY AND NIGHT, AND
YOU WILL BE CORDIALLY RECEIVED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

THE TABLE IS PROVIDED WITH THE BEST OF FOOD.

NO HOTEL IN THE CITY HAS BETTER ROOMS OR BEDS THAN THE INVALIDS' HOTEL.

THIS INSTITUTION IS NOT A HOSPITAL, BUT A COMMODIOUS AND COMFORTABLE
INVALIDS' HOME.

If all we say of our institutions, and our advantages and facilities for
the successful treatment of disease is not found, on your arrival and
investigation, to be just as we have represented them, WE WILL PAY ALL
THE EXPENSES OF YOUR TRIP AND YOU CAN RETURN HOME AT ONCE.

"A WORD TO THE WISE,"

in the nature of advice, to those about to visit us, in conclusion, may
not be out of place.
