GOUT, RHEUMATISM, NEURALGIA, AND I'AINFUL NKIiVOUS AFFECTIONS. I wish to inform those who are suffering from the above diseases that I have discovered what I deem a true specific. It is well known that I have, for the last 22 years, practised .nearly exclus'vely in nervous diseases. The large amount of my practice in these cases may be judged of when I inform the public that my advertising expenses alone amount to over £3OOO per year, and that my patients are from all the colonies, and even from Japan, China, and India. It can readily, tie.q, be understood that very few medical men, even from England, have had the experience which I have had in the treatment of those diseases to which my advertisements apply, viz., Painful Nervous Diseases, and which for so many years I have made a speciality. These nervous affections are allied so closely with gout and rheumatic diseases that I have been compelled to make the latter my study for years. The result is, that I firmly believe—and my successful practice in these cases confirms that belief—that I have found a true specific for gout and rheumatism. I have no hesitancy here in publicly stating that my theory is scientifically based on the direct influence of the nervous centres upon nutrition and secretion, aud that gout is especially due to the derangement of the latter aud directly influenced by the nervous centres.

When an agent is found capable of acting on the central nervous system the centrifugal and terminal portions of those neryes will, in like manuer, be acted on, similar to an operator of the wires at the central Melbourno telegraph station causing action at Sandhurst, Echuca, Ballarafc, &c. The agent or operator on the nervous system I have found, and it consists chiefly in painless application to the spine, as the centre of the nervous system. I have cured some hundreds of painful nervous affections, and relieved scores of cases of partial paralysis. Miners and bush residents in New Zealand must be aware that in a few years they have inevitably impending, an attack, either in the form of rheumatism, or rheumatic gout, the consequence of their exposure to wet and hard living. Is it not, then, better for them to take such procautious as will avert this imminently paiuful affection ? Those who are troubled with sciatica, and partially paralysed, should pay me a personal visit, or consult me by letter, and I will at once give them an auswer as to the probable success of my remedy. To avoid disappointment, my first consultation fee is one guinea,"inclusive of medicines aud the application of the remedy. Consultation by letter, £l. I LOUIS L.
