Table 5:Criticisms of Orthodoxy in AdvertisementSydney City

  • No cure no pay. No mercury used. Hopeless cases especially invited.
  • No matter what cause, or how long standing, or what remedies failed.
  • No Calomel, no Mercury, no Mineral Poisons will be administered in any form in any disease; even after they have been pronounced by the medical profession of 10 and 20 years’ standing incurable
  • Beware of Drug Doctors and Consulting Chemists. Mercury is the death of thousands! Nature versus Quackery!
  • See many who come blind from doctors, their full sight restored.
  • without consulting a medical man
  • after having been given up by most eminent doctors
  • Hopeless cases cured after doctors failed. Moderate charges
  • When other medical men have failed
    NSW Rural
    • no fee will be taken for medicine if he cannot promise a good result
      NZ
      • he will be at the service of those who prefer Herbal to other systems of medication
      • nature’s own system of healing all forms and phases of disease, disregarding altogether the use of Mineral Drugs and Poisons. Success certain in all cases undertaken.
        Vic
        • By his own sharp searching for truth, he found that Surgery and Physics are at fault, and that a practical bone-setter is better than a surgeon. Thinks himself equal to any medical man hol ding first-class diplomas
        • Signed agreement given, which provides that no cost is incurred if cure be not effected
