nubl;shed Of late severa. articles referring
"a DR.. Fitch's success in the treatment Of
Pulmonary Diseases, not that We wish 10
dictate 10 our readers in matter Of so much
importanc, as the selection of the physician
10 whom they confIc the care of health and
life. for this is matter in which every one
must act ana decide for himself, but because
i, is an act of jlstiea and humanity to make
known any we'll authentic tied facts in regard
TO the durability of Consumption and those
other forms Of Chronic Pulmonary Disease
which so generally seem to batAe the skill of
our musicians. 1t is certainly natural that
man of Intelligence, devo'ing himself per-
seyerincly to the Investigation of any one de-
nartment, either of scicnc or art, must in
that attain more than ordinary emlnence.--
The very reputation which DR.. c. NJ. Ii Oh
has acquired in the treatment OF diseases Of
the Lungs must serve to increase his skill. as
it affords him greater opportunities for OBJ
seryation and for testing the effect OF remc-
dies. We give the letter, however, without
farther comments.

The letters which have r, Gently appeared

success in the treatment OF diseases Of the
Lungs, have suggesle to me to make known
through the medium Of your wildly C rculat-
ed journal, the following facts which feel

Of our community. proving as they do, the
durability of one Of the most obstinate and
, harrassing forms Of Pulmonary Disease.

Fer more than a year it had been impossi-

from five to twenty patients every day he lives
while we perhaps see scarcely hall u dozen

Fitch has nothing to do but to study and
test the effect of remedies in one particular

to consult him.'' Several Of our physicians
speak in the same terms; for not only in my
own case but in many others in this vicinity
has DR.. Fitch effected wonders. \ friend
and neighbor of mine, who at the time DR..
Fitch visited Akron was confined to his bed
and whom in consequence DIR. Fitch visited
personally, informs me that he has gained
nineteen pounds since commencing DIR.
Fitch's treatment. Another case IN our
place a Mr.. French, has gained very rapid

every respectable inhabitant of our place,
for they have been well known and have
attracted much attention.
