12 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. SCrNJ Y , OCTOBER 18 , 1801-SJXTEEN PAGES , ABOUT PRIVATE DISEASES The spread of pri vate diseases has be come so great that it is almost alarming , and what is still worse the medical profession at large do not seem to realize the enormity oi these unfortunate evils. There arc thousands of sufferers today who have almost given up hope of ever being en tirely cured , simply for the reason that the en- o eral practitioner does not give this class of diseases proper and careful attention. But in this age of advanced ideas there are men * who make some exclu sive branch of medicine their life study , and the physician who makes private and sexual diseases - eases his specialty comes nearer fitting the corrtution of society of the 19th century , as to this line of diseases , than the general all round doctor of 50 years ago who treated every thing. DR.'J. E. Me GREW Has devoted more than 16 years of his life to the treatment of sexual and private diseases , and the many good words spoken and written of him , are proof enough of his skill. Many a young man owes it to Dr. McGrew that he is again a manthoroughly cured and prepared to re-enter life with - re- -.jicwed vigor and am bition. - . . * - -u Dr. McGrew "does not claim to cure every disease man is heir to , but he does claim that having devoted so much ofhislife to his specialty that he does cure sex ual and private diseases where many others fail. His charges are reason able and a thorough course of treatment can be taken without the loss of a sigle hour from business. His- offices are on the 2nd floor , corner 14th and Far- nam Streets , Omaha. GOLDEN DAYS FOR SPORTSMEN Continual Unrest and Abiding Fenr the To' of the Wild Fowl. THE HOFSES FOR NEXT WEEK.
