MIRACULOUS SCIENTIFIC SUCCESS! THE SALUS PAD COY. OFFERS THE PUBLIC the Unique Opportunity to personally verify in different parts of New Zealand its many miraculous cures obtained in Rheumatoid and Osteo Arthritis, Oxaluria, Phosphaturia fPseudo - Uricemia), Arteriosclerosis 'hardening of the Arteries), and its tierivants: Nerves, Vertigo, and Cardiac Disorders. The EMINENTLY CURATIVE ACTION OF THE SALUS PAD AND UROCLASIO, together with the Complexity of our Scientific Method, in Uricemia and Arteriosclerosis, distinguishes itself from any other commercialised antiuric remedies which possess only a resolving and calming actioh, but DO NOT FUNDAMENTALLY ERADICATE THE TROUBLE WITH A PERFECT CURE. It is logic that a Deranged, Chronic System of years' standing cannot be re-established to complete health in a few weeks, and anything to the contrary aims at misleading the public Cases of Lumbago, Neuritis, and Sciatica vanish after a Short Course of Treatments. Let it be understood that we treat the cause - f hf troubles radically and surely. All consultations at the homes or at the Clinic free of charge. FEES MODERATE. We cordially invite, at no expense to the investigators, SCRUPULOUS INVESTIGATION into each and all of our cases. Canterbury itself, without going further afield, offers ample scope to ascertain our positive successes. Intending patients are requested to allow our Specialist to diagnose their , troubles without mentioning anything to him. HEAD OFFICE AND CLINIC: 13 NEW REGENT STREET, CHRISTCHURCH. 'Phone 41-697.
