We wish t. call the attention Of our
readers to the advertisement OF this gen
tleman, whose extensive practice and
great success is sufficient to induce ali
those afflicted to give him a call. The
Doctor is not only a regularly educated
Physician, but he has the principles o.
honesty and a heart that can feel tor his
fellow beings. He has undoubtedly
more practice than any other Physician
in San Francisco, and it is fast increa.-
ing To those acq tainted with the Doc

integrity as they are wei known; but
to strangers We do say, call at No. 226I
