man. whose advertisement appears in another
part of paper, we feel confident has prom
ised nothing more than he can perform. He was
engaged as Chief Physician in the twentieth reg
iment of Honveds. in Hungary, and was Lectu-
rer on Diseases of Women and Children in the
University of Pesh. During the Hungarian
campaigns he saved the lives of many of his
countrymen. and performed many difficult and
important surgical operations. Since his estab-
ishment in San Francisco his success has been
unprecedented, and he has grown rapidly in
public favor, as is evidenced by the fact that he
has larger practice than any man in California.
The DR.. is certainly very skilful Physician
and possesses those qualities which make The
character of gentleman. He asks no fee for
consultation, and guarantees cure of those
who place themselves under his charge. His
rooms are Nos. and @ Armory Hall, corner pi

island of NiIhon, Japan. and occasioned the
wreck of The Russian Frigate Diana, which was

water, then came IN an enormous wave, which
again receded and left the harbor dry. This

hour. 1t was followed 10y series of seven other
waves of less magnitude, at intervals of an hour

observed. although account OF the greater

He seemed some Titan at whose beck
Would quail the angry storm.

So full Of quiet grace,

Was mirrored in her face.

The proprietors have in their possession over
one hundred certificates of the most extraord-
nary cnres effected by it. We can safely say,
TRY 1T. 1t revives the dropping constitution,
eradicates all humors from the blood, and by its
tonic properties restores the invalid TO life and
vigor. As spring and summer medicine it has
equal. Its singulaYly eificacious action on
the blood, its strengthening and vivifying action
on the system stands pre-eminent above all 9TH
er Sarsaparias. If you would have the rose
brought back to your cheek, clear, healthy
and transparent skin. and life and vigor imbued
through the system, take Guysotts Extract of
Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. 1t contains more
of the pnre Honduras SaFsaparilla than any 9TH
er preparation extant. which is chemically COM
bined with the extract of Yellow Dock and ex-
tract of Wild Cherry, thus making the remedy
more thoroughly efficient than any other Sarsa

o BIT g AIRY.

DIED, after short but painful illness, on the
evening of the 18th July Mt her mothers residence
in Granitevile, Miss NANCY KIRKLAND, aged
l9 years, month and days.
She made profession Of the religion OF Christ in
1853 and was baptized into the fellowship of the
Granitevie Baptist Church, Of which she continued
an exemplary member till the day. Of her death.
This young lady possessed naturally an amlaole
disposition, and by the grace Of God, that meek ana
gifted of Heaven she could not fail to gam the es-
TEEN and confidence of all who knew her.
The writer of this brief notice could but exclaim,
as he saw her former friends and associates gather
around her dying bed, to smooth her pillow, and as
far as mortal hands can assist in bearing the depart
ing saints desponding spirit up in deaths tremen'
dous hour pour consolation into the bleeding heart
"Behold how they loved herw Sh, is gone, and
never more shall we meet her in the sanctuary Of
God, in the family circle, or as weYs|k by the way
"Dearest sister thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But tits God who hast bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
"Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the dreams Of life are fled
Then in heaven we hope to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is she'd" S. b.
UIED, at her residence IN Ab0eVle DlStrlct, On
Sunday evening the 18th inst, Mrs. Lucinda Nor
ton, widow of Thoc. W. Morton, deceased, in the
Gath year Of her age.
The deceased left some relatives, and number
Of friends to mourn their loss. But they mourn
not, as those without hope their departed relative
and friend having been regular member OF the
Baptist Church for some twenty-five or twenty
three years. And for four years, seven months and
one day previous to her decease, had been the con-
slant sufferer Of verYpainful disease-Paralysls-
Of which she died, which protracted suffering not
only was well calculated to discipline her spirit for
the abode of Heaven, but was painful to those who
witnessed it these several years. And it is indeed
source of great consolation that for months after
months, she was not heard to murmur at the ex.
trenity Of her 1ction as unjust but prayed rather,
Lord if it ia thy will take out Of my suffering"
These were her own words not many days before
she was taken. and on occasions previous.
This estimable woman, out Of a once prosperous
offsnrinr of eight children, left behind her but an
onlv SON in delicate health. What was she heard =
then, to say in review of all this bereavement
"The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, blessed
be the name Of the Lord.n Her last illness continu-
ed two weeks and day, and almost the last ever
heard her say, was, to repeat two lines OF the
hymn, So
"And must this feeble body die,
This mortal frame decayl'
her reply was calmly, yes.
At subsequent time, and when very feeble in
deed, she uttered in weak but audible tone OF
voice. these four lines:
"Then will my happy soul
Stretch her wings in haste,
And 60 to tell
That Jesus has done all things well.
