LEPROSY




The greatest curse with wiheh Mankind is afflicted, the most terrible scourge that has ever visited the Earth; the disease that has baffled old medical science and skill for centuries, is the most dreaded sickness-Leprosy. In the East Indies the leprosy, is quite common; the very touching of one in its loathsome clutches, is met with shuddering and fear, and the one touched is called Unclean.“Unclean”“Room for the leper” and the crow seatters. Let this disease kiss the forhead of the most beautiful woman in the world and in three months her lover would turn shudderingly from her.
         Let it but breathe its loathe some breath on a innocent  child and the nurse from birth, leave in fear and loathing. This disease has been made a life study by myself. I know well that every one when told there is a cure for it, will sneer and laugh in contempt and derision. Has not every poison its antidote? Why should not every desease have its remedy? I do not intend to waste the night in words over this remedy, as the time has come when a cure seen is worth all the orations delivered by the most silvery tongue, so if you can but let me have the pleasure of having this remedy used on some one so afflicted, the cure will be seen by yourselves.



Periódico EL ESFUERZO


         My object is to get Governments interested, as they will be when a cure is effected, even in the smallest hamlet in the country. When the news is heralded “There is a cure for leprosy” then my name will live as long as this old world shall endure, and my soul will be blessed by the prayers of thousands of now hopeless, suffering, despairing human beings. Will you give them a chance? Will you try it on some one?

SPECIFIC AGAINST LEPROSY
         At last, after numerous efforts and sacrifices I take the liberty of offering to the world my specific against Leprosy, which is already sufficiently tried all over the country.
         Although this seems to be unreal in this period in which science remains silent with the silence of despair and powerless in this respect, the notable improvements accomplished speak favorably on behalf of the medicine that I offer and which I have no doubt will be sought after with great eagerness by the unfortunate victims of this terrible plague.
         General sale supply of this specific is to be found at Mr. ANIBAL VILLA NAVARROS drug store in Girardot. Rep. Of Colombia, S. A.
