TO THE PUBLIC.
DR. HOUSTON, successor of the late Dr.
John Tuaybold, Fellow of the Royal Col
lege of Physicians of Persia, tenders his profes
sional services to the citizens of Alexandria, D.
C., and the public in general, and is ready to be
consulted GRATIS in all cases of disease inci
dent to the human frame, but more especially in
that Virulent and almost yet unconquerable dis
ease the CANCER, ns unquestionable authority
can prove the cure of the most awfulcase which
ever afflicted one of the human family. To
those afflicted with this direful scourge, with
hundreds of others, he particularly refers to the
cure of JAMES BOND, [see engraving below]
a slave formerly the properly of Miss Sally
Griffith, of this city, w hose desperate situation,
though for a series of years laboring under this
affliction, yielded to his skill, though it had baf
fled the science of most of the Faculty. Hope
less of relief, in a reduced situation—abandoned
by bis friends, and seeking alms of the public,
whose eye must revolt at a sight which would'
shock the finer feelings of mankind—at this
time, fortunately for this object of pity, Dr. H.
felt confident that he was his Creator’s instru
ment to effect his cure, and is now a living w it
ness of the truth of this assertion, by proper me
dicine, properly applied.
To which, five cases of CANCER, and ma
ny other inveterate sores, of long standing,
might be added—all of which have been effec
tually cured by Dr. Houston, in this city, within
the last four months. Satisfactory reference to
the persons will be given, on application.
A. HOUSTON. M.D.
Dr. H. is ready to receive all orders, post
paid, at his Office, at the Hoarding House of
Captain Nevitf, opposite the Market House,
(late Mrs. Mills’ residence,) Cameron street, Al
exandria. __ i,ov 5
Certificate of Mr. Robert (Jlenn, Mill Stone Ma
nufacturer, Alexandria, L). C.
For the benefit ofthe afflicted. This is to cer
tify that I was greatly troubled with a most
dreadful sore leg, upwards of thirty years; that
every tiling the faculty could devise was done to
effect a cure in St. Thomas’ Hospital, in the Isle
of Wight, England, and in the East India Com
pany’s Hospital in Bengal, but without any vi
sible improvement of my condition. I have al
so been attended by other physicians, but all to
no purpose. Finally, I applied to Dr. A. Hous
ton. and, forsaking all others, 1 confided myself
to his advice and attention only; and do certify
that by his skill and judgment as a Surgeon, he
lias made a perfect cure of the disorder with
which 1 was so long afflicted.
In witness whereof, 1 have hereunto subscrib
ed my name, this 3d day of November, 1831.
