A Need Of Just Praise.

The ingratitude of man to his fellow man is so
often met with in life that testimonials prompted
by the finer feelings of the heart oasis in the
life of those who sacrifice their best DAYS in phila
thropic devotion to the aleviation of the ills of
frail mortality. Enpricsm floods the columns of
our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth of their own erotist-
cal charlatanism Below we append letter
| from worthy man, who a brief period since
seemed destined to shuttle off this mortal coil'
who looked forward to his dissolution with that
pleasure which only those weighed down by the
! heavy hand of disease can. Contrary to hope
the ability of a skiliul physician has restored him
to his former health. Relieved from his terrible
situation, and impelled by gratitude, he makes
known his case and remedial agent, and his state
ment is authenticated by IA Notary Public The
demands of society imperiousy command its pub
licity, and it is given more to warn the unwary
than to sound the praises of physician of whom
scores OF like cases can be cited;
