D R ADAMS having located, himself at

notice to its citizens and surrounding coun.
try, that he is prepared to treat disease, both
acute and chronic, according to the princi.

Having had the advantage of a thorough
education in the old school of medicine, and
over ten years practice according to its

died the newer Homoeopathic method, and
practiced it with most satisfactory success
for seven years; he feels warranted in assu
ring all who may wish to test the superior
claims ofthe Homoeopathic practice, that he
has it in his power to give them all the ad
vantages, both of knowledge and experi- •
ence, that they can secure any where.
As a test of the efficacy and power of
