DOCTOR SPEER.

The only and original H. J. SPEER, the wellknown specialist in all skin diseases, and who made such a great impression on the New Zealand public some twelve years ago. has once more returned to Wellington to attend to the ailments of the people. During his absence he has twice been round the world, practising in Australia, Hawaiin Islands, U.S. of America, India, Johannesburg, and South Africa, where he was physician to President Kruger and IS members of tee Volksraad Assembly. It will be remembered that during Dr. Speer’s last visit m this country he chartered one of the U.S.S. Co.’s steamers in Dunedin, and took out 550 of the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind to the Maori kaik for a pleasure excursion or picnic. Doctor Speer was gazetted in the City of Wellington Oct. 13th, 1885, and was a graduate of the Medical Department of the Harvard University, Class 74, United States of America, and is registered as such in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres; also licensed in the Transvaal. The Doctor has devoted 20 years to the study of ALL DISEASES, some of these in association with the leading specialists of the Old and New Worlds, which enables him to treat all private troubles with excellent results. Catarrh, stomach and liver troubles attended to in all their various forms. All skin diseases, from whatever cause, absolutely cured within a stated time. All applying to him will receive his honestopinion of their complaints. No experimenting ! He will guarantee a positive cure in every case he undertakes, or forfeit £2OO. His reason for doing so is this : —Where there is no organic disease and nothing but inorganic trouble, or in other words a conglomeration of symptoms producing a certain result, there is no reason why it cannot be removed with the proper remedies, therefore he guarantees. Furthermore in all other businesses the master must guarantee his work — why not in medicine ? The old-fashioned doctor will promise nothing, therefore he must be guessing as to the trouble, and guessing as to the remedy. Ladies and gentleman, in science there is no guess-work. No man or woman can die without a cause. That cause should be known to a doctor, and the remedy, too. Remember, medical ethics will not cure, neither will dignity founded on guessing help you. Dr. Speer wishes it distinctly understood that he does not claim to perform impossibilities, or to have a miraculous power. He claims only to be a qualified and successful physician, thoroughly informed in all DISEASES of men and women. People at a distance can, by explaining their troubles in detail, or by sending for question-blank, be treated at home. The course does not in any way interfere with business. Absolute secrecy in all cases. Advice free to all.
