own cgotstical charlatanism. Below we append q
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 pleas
ure which only those weighed down by the heavy
hand of disease can. Contrary to hope, the ability

to the brain medicines would be of little conse-
quence, despaired of ever regainng my health
