LOOK OUT ! GOOD NEWS FOR ALL!
THE NEVER FAILING DR. VANHORN, is the very best; he is sure to succeed when all others have failed. All who are in trouble ; all who have been unfortunate, de- ceived, and trifled with ! all whose fond hopes have been crushed and blasted by false promises ! all who have had bad luck ! fly to him for advice and satisfaction. All laboring under depression of spirits, bad health, distress and anguish of mind, from whatever cause, fly to him for relief and comfort. In love affairs he was never known to fail. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. He shows you the likeness of your future husband or wife. Read his Private Medical Lectures, and his Bliss of Mar- riage, or a Sure Road to the Altar. Further particulars sent gratis to any name or address. All interviews and communications are strictly private and confidential.
WEALTH, EMINENCE, GOOD LUCK and HAPPINESS
Are within the reach of all. To all business men his advice is invaluable. He can foretell, with the greatest certainty, the result of all commercial and business transactions. ALL those who have been unsuccessful in life and in business; ALL those who have worked hard and struggled against adversity and misfortune, the greater part of their lives, and found the more they tried to get forward in the world, the more things went against them; ALL those who had bad luck consulted him, their bad luck left them, and they are now fortunate, rich, eminent and happy.
The public can distinguish those who copy his advertisements, and judge between .... him and all who are trying to imitate him. COME ONE COME ALL, to
