BERKSHIRE COUNTY DIRECTORY.


DR. S. D. MERRIAM, 3. THE GREAT


Indian Herb Doctor,


ASHLEY FALLS, MASS.,


TO WHOM ALL COMMUNICATIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.


Behold, the Wonder of the World !


ROOTS AND HERBS have sole power over disease. Vegetable and Botanic Medicine ! Reform Practice Triumphant !


DR. MERRIAM is widely known as Coppeway, the Great Indian Medicine Man, the Chief Medicine Man of the World.


EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS .- In justice to myself and for the benefit of those who may not be acquainted with the successful result of my practice, I will point out to you, when you call at my office, many remarkable cures of the first fam- ilies of this vicinity, performed by me. Proofs of successful treatment are the most desirable credentials to the public that a physician can produce. The public mind being naturally better satisfied with the evidence that a physician exercises a mastery over disease, than with the most elaborate demonstration of the scientific character of his theory.


CHRONIC DISEASES .- All those who are afflicted with chronic diseases should consult me by letter or in person, as I am often called away, and wish to see my patient before completing a cure. Years of experience among the Indians of Western Canada and among the tribes of this country from Maine to Oregon, and a life devoted to travel and study of chronic disease in every form and stage, constitute me the master of my profession. I tell your disease without asking questions, put- ting my finger upon any ache or pain, thus pointing out the diseased organ. By this means I am enabled to prescribe successfully in all diseases.


OVER 5,000 PATIENTS treated by me in this State during the past year, and all who followed directions CURED or benefitted. If you are sick, no matter what the disease, write to me at once and I will see you immediately.


Consultation Free.


Read this carefully and show it to a sick neighbor.


A FORFEIT OF $500 wherein I fail to reduce a large, fleshy person to any weight desired.


Private Parlors for Ladies, and all communications strictly confidential.


Yours truly,


Dr. S. D. MERRIAM, Ashley Falls, Mass.


MILTON, VERMONT, August 30, 1882.


DR. S. D. MERRIAM-DEAR SIR :- It is a duty that I owe you, myself and also suffering human- ity, that I acknowledge the good received at your hands, after lying on my back for five years, perfectly helpless while in a lying or sitting posture, so much so as to be unable to move a mus- cle or even turn an eye in its socket, my flesh all gone, in short, perfectly helpless. After remaining in this situation for five years, employing seven of the best Allopathic physicians and one Clairvoyant, (to whom I give great credit,) all of whom failed in getting up any muscular action or power, I, as a last resort, resolved to try something entirely new, to me at least. I now proclaim to the world that the test surprised me, as it also did the community at large. It is now nearly fourteen years since I first saw Dr. Merriam. I seem to be in the best of health and still improving.


Any one wishing more minute particulars can be furnished the same by addressing
