GIYENAWAY ! f The Best Inhaler That Science Has Devised to Assist in Curing Those Diseases of the Air Passages Galled Catarrh , Together With a Practical Demonstration o ! the * f L Newest and Best Office Treatment of These Diseases. Doctor Shepard's New Year's Greeting by Which He Pro poses to Maka Plain to the People the Latest and greatest Advance in His Practice and in the Science 4 of Curing Disease. Doctor Shcpnrd lias fully roallzcrt ever since Ills New Treatment wasput In use that his numerous mall or home patients , who do not visit the otllce at nil , and also his otlice patients , who oonio to the otllce only once or twice a week for treatment , were not reaping the full advantage of the Now Method because there was no way In which the medicine could be successfully vapor ized for Inhalation at the patient's home , and for this reason he has per sistently striven to devise some means by which this could bo accomplished. He takes pleasure In announcing now that he has effected this much desired result nnd that he feels confident his patients will llnd In his New Inhaler the one. particular thing lacking to make the treatment taken at the patient's Uome as clcaslng , soothing and healing and therefore as successful In every way as the treatment In the otllce. Jt Is scarcely necessary to dilate at length hprc upon the advantages ot treatment of catarnlml troubles of lie nil , throat , Eustachlan tubes , bronchial tubes and lungs by Inhalation of med tented vapor. He discovered that nil the treatments were too severe , too harsh. He found out In trying to solve the problem of curing these troubles that the doctors were driving their rem edies In with too much force ; they were producing Irritation Instead of allay ing it , and he determined that his New Treatment should be administered as mildly nnd gently as possible. The thousands of cures of old , obstinate cases of Deafness , Noises In the Kars , Catarrh of the Head and Throat , Bronchial Catarrh and beginning Lung Trouble , cases In many Instances considered Incurable , attest the wisdom of the New Method. DURING I HE MONTH OF JANUARY Dr. Shepard will present to every new patient and evsry old patient alike , who renews treatment , THE BEST INHALER that science can devise , by the use of which till patients may have twice a day at their homes practically the same treatment of gentle , soothing inhalations as they receive when they visit the office. MOKE THAN THIS : Durlnu the month of January Doctor Shcpurd will give to every applicant in person at Ills office A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION of this Newest Treatment for the cure of Deafness and of those diseases of the Air Passages , commonly called CATARRH and heretofore pro- nounccd "incurable" in order that the entire people may understand its workings and the advantages it oilers over all other treatments. UNDER THIS FREE OFFER patients are as welcome to consultation nnd examination , and will bo as carefully and courteously treated , as If they ware paying $10 a visit. visit.MEDICAL INSTITUTE 311 , 312 and 313 New OMAHA York Life Building , VHU/VI1A BUSINESS STATEMENT OF LIFE ASSOCIffl OF DES MOINES.
