life of those who sacrifice their best days in philan
thropic devotion to the aleviation Of the ills Of
frail mortality. Empiricism floods the columns OF
our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth Of their own e2otlstl-
cal charlatanism. Below we append letter
from a worthy man. who n bricf ptrIod since,
