They have never been known to fail to cure in any case and it is a positive fact that they will cure all cases every time, without changing to any other disease whatsoever. '70 Every farmer in the world is abotonist, a botan- ical doctor. They support and feed the whole peo- ple and the people can't live a single wTeek without the farmer's products, neither can business of any kind go on without these products. In fact the farmer is the supporter of the whole world. If the farmers were to fail and stop all would stop. There would be no use for doctors then to give poison medicines to vegetable bodies and de- stroy them that way. Is not farmonian and boto- nian principles the fundimental principles of all medicines ? I say there is nothing on earth to make perfect medicine from outside the vegetable kingdom ; nor is there anything to sustain life outside the farmers products ; both of which go together, first, last and all the time. I challenge any man or sect on earth to dispute one wTord of this and prove it not to be true. Poison is good for rats, mice, flies, wolves and sheep killing dogs or something like these, but not for children, men or women. Never drink more than a wine glass of ice water at a time and not more frequent than once in half an hour, nor more than a glass of any water at a time. 71 Never eat as much at a time as you could, always eat a little less. Never over work yourself. Never stand, sit or lie in a draft when you are overheated. Boys and girls should eat but very little or no pickle and very little lemon at all. What you eat often makes you sick, eat healthy food only, protect your stomach and you will protect your health and prolong your life. I say the people have a right to go to a dry goods house and buy what they want or go to grocery store and buy what they want or go to a drug store and buy what they want. Use their own judgment as to what they want or what they need. Know ye thyself, be ye wise. The alopathic idea that the way to cure one dis- ease is to create another of a different sort, and that therefore the most powerful poisons are the most potent medicines, may justly claim that its system is sound in theory and successful in practice. This is a gigantic mistake and wrong. 72 COKN POEM. People violate nature's laws, Which truely is disease's cause ; Tight boots they wear without a fear, But corns you know will then appear. Nature has the strictest way, Who violates will get their pay, In bunions and those cursed corns, Which pain the feet as bad as thorns. But Dr. Starr's Balsam Extractor, Is warranted to be au actor, And when applied upon your corn, Kemoves a scale as hard as horn. Never causing any sore, Nov the blood to run or pour. A bottle costs you fifty cents, Saving pain and great expense. Soak your corns well every evening and scrape off all hard parts of them and they will soon be cured. HOESBS. In writing this work I feel it my duty to say something about the horse, an animal, beyond all question or doubt, a helpmate of men in his many avocations of life. The horse is shamefully abused, and without cause in many instances, and he wh o 73 mistreats a horse or any dumb animal without cause or provocation, is in human, and should be chatised to teach him the fact that a horse cannot reason, and a man can, and that cruelty is the offspring of a mean person. When a man is riding a horse he should always remember that a horse has to walk and carry him too. A man that will mistreat his horse will also mistreat his wife and children. The wild Indians have an instinctive kindness for their •horses and their dogs. Men should remember that a horse has an appetite, and a body made of flesh and bone, nerves and blood, and can feel as well as man, and needs shelter and care. There is a horse hygiene as well as a human one; there is a horse physiology as well as a human phy- siology, and all good men know this is a fact. I have seen men plough horses all day when they ^vould stagger under the harness for the want of feed, and at the same time their crib was full of corn. I once knew a man who was a thief and a miser, who would work his horses from sun-up till sun •down, and feed them a little morning and night, and at the same time had plenty of corn in his crib. When he was filling his stomach with what his brutish nature demanded, I would steal from his •crib a bountiful feed of corn and give it to the poor tired, hunger horses. They would nicker so thank- ful when they saw it coming, and would eat cobkS 74 and all. In a short time the man made the remark: that his horses were looking better, and he was not obliged to whip and holloa at them so much. This- man belonged to the Methodist church and profes- sed religion; but ye shall know a tree by its fruit. A man owes a duty to every animal under his con- trol, and the horse in special. I will now give you a few Indian ideas of how to take care of horses. They pride themselves in taking good care of all their pets, and I Avould to God it was the case with the white man. The Indian, when he feeds his horse always feeds him on the ground, that is, he places his feed so that he is obliged to hold, his head down in order to get it. The wild horse has to get all his food with his head down. It is nat- ural. HOW TO KEEP HORSES HEALTHY AT LITTLE EX- PENSE. If you would have healthy horses, with pure blood and slick hair, give them twice a week a pinch of equal parts of pulvarizcd sulphur, wood ashes and salt, equal to the size of a common mar- ble, mixed with their feed. This is cheap nnd simple and will keep your horses healthy. The Indians keep their horses in good condition with ashes and eggs. To My Many Readers. I will say to you, use your own judgment, unin- fluenced by any prejudice that may have previously existed in your minds. Give my advice a trial if you need it, and judge me and what I say by the effects. I give you my word and honor most sol- emnly, that all I have told you is safe for the most delicate person to try without the slightest danger of producing any effect detrimental, either tempor- ary or permanent. A wise person will glean know- ledge from whatever source it may arise. The compass of the Indian is the moss on the north side of the tree, which is knowledge from a natural source gleaned by the wild untutored savage. I will further say, good education is the only reliable means to lasting reforms, and will teach people to think for themselves, and that simple medical facts have been hidden in the past by technical words, but to-day are told in common English. DR. STARR. Botanicism— The Free Thinkers of Medicine. .. The right to choose the best from all of the many ideal theories of medicine ; liberty uncircumscribed by the teachings of fanatics; freedom to judge for ire yourself that which is *best of -all that you can learn of the many ideas of medical men of the world. Love for all, hatred toward none; freedom of thought and the right to counsel with all, ungoverned by a mean disgraceful code of ethics. Liberty to exercise -good common sense, and use that which is best cal- culated to do good in the case in which it is indica- ted. This is the true definition of the Botanical Pro- fession. They are the most prosperous class of 'doctors on the face of the world, because they be- lieve in personal liberty as well as general liberty, :and that which is right, and hate smart fanatics. When persons living at a distance desire treat- ment, they can, by writing answers to the following -questions, send such a statement of their condition ^ts will enable me to comprehend the character of their disease, and prescribe the proper remedies foi- sts cure. All letters should be addressed to Dr. Wm. M. Starr, Botanical Medicines, 709 G Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. Your name. 77: Age and occupation. Post Office address. Are you strong or weak ? Give a short account of your disease? rasnromiAB. Washington, D. C, July 30, 1890. Dr. W. M. Starr . This certifies that twice I was operated upon at Garfield Hospital at different times and each time was a perfect failure. J. Ford Thompson was my Surgeon. I grew worse and saw certain death was for me, so I left in a perfect wrecked condition : utterly unable to lift five pounds, or stand one minute, so great was my agony. I had other phy- sicians, all without one jot of help. I continued to grow worse, until at my brothers house I drank some of Dr. Starr's Kidney Tea and at once I saw its Diuretic action and I had some hope. On meet- ing Dr. Starr I demanded of him if I could be cured (for I had lost the coating of my stomach and I was in the very last stage of Bright's Disease of the Kidneys, and I also had a very large stone in my bladder). Dr.. Starr said that the cause was 78 still in my system which caused me to go to the hospital. I said, Doctor, can you cure me, for I was given up to die by all physicians. He said certainly I can cure you. I at once went under his treatment and to-day nearly one pound and a half of stone has come out of my bladder. My Bright's Disease is perfectly cured and the coating of my stomach is sound and new. I thank God when all physicians and friends gave me up to die, Dr. W. M. Starr positively declared in my dying presence that I should live, and I am alive and will gladly answer any inquiry as to the enormous stone taken from my bladder, which I have in my pos- session. I remain a devoted advocate to Dr. W.. M. Starr and all his positive remedies. Dr. Nelson Calvin Page, 406 7th Street, S.-W., Washington, D. C. Washington, D. C, February 5, 1878. Dr. W. M. Starr, Dear Sir: Injustice to you and for the benefit of suffering humanity, I make this statement. I have been a sufferer for years ^vith what the physi- cians term Bright's Disease of the Kidneys. Though I had the most eminent physicians, still I found no relief, until I found your Balm of Gilead 70 which did all it was recommended to do. I was so- bad at that time that the doctor said I would have to go through an operation which I dreaded very much. It was at this time I was persuaded to try your medicine, of which I found relief almost im- mediately. I have recommended it to others with the same result. Very respectfully, George W. Hill, 90 Myrtle St., n. e. Washington, D. C, March, 1885. Dr. W. M. Starr, Dear Sir : Having suffered at intervals for ten years with kidney troubles and found scarcely any relief, concluded to try your Kidney Tea, ?t the time I had had no rest for three successive weeks,, and was also suffering from a cold which affected my back and kidneys, causing intense misery, so much so that no physician gave me any relief until taking about a pint of your tea. In fifteen minutes or less relief came, such a change that it was like unto a perfect health restored, that was indeed relief as- sured and since, or to this time, September, I am still enjoying the benefits of such wonderful treat- ment of such delicate members of the body. You will please ever accept the thanks of, Yours respectfully, David E. Dutrow, Butter Dealer, La. Ave. n. w. 80 Washington, D. C, Nonember 26, 1884. Dear Sir : I take this method of returning my thanks for the great benefit I have derived from the vise of your medicine. For a long time I was afflic- ted with Kidney disease, having tried several re- medies without any relief, I was induced to give your Kidney medicine a trial. I did so, and it acted upon me like magic, for it give instant relief, and one box made a permanent cure, and I cheer- fully recommend it to any sufferer from the dread- ful malady. Very respectfully, R. C. Gover, 317 4J St., n. w. The following persons of Washington, D.

Each one of these testimonials are from persons who were afflicted with chronic cases most of them having been given up as incurable or past all hope of recovery. I never exhibited any letters from a person whom I attended first, all are from old cases. A house which cannot stand alone without being propped up is a dangerous house to live in, and in fact is not fit to live in at all. Neither is a doctor or any other class of men who need laws to force, the people to employ them fit to be trusted in any way. A doctor who claims that he has a license to give poison medicine to " kill or cure " at his will, is in effect to claim that he has a license to murder. If the Czar was to issue such a license his head would not be on his shoulders one week. If the Emperor of China were to make such a law the walls around Pekin would not save him a day. Let a doctor stand alone on his own merits and his success in making cures. No monopoly. S3 Copies of two of
