pleasure which only those weighed down by the
heavy hand of disease can. Contrary to hope,
the ability of skilful physician has restored him
to his former health. Relieved from his terrible
situation, and impeled by gratitude, he makes
known his case and remedial agent, and his state
ment is authenticated by Notary Public. The
demands of society impcrously command its pub
licity, and it is given more to warn the upwary
than to sound the praises of a physician of whom
scores oil like cases can be cited:
