GRATITUDE IS THE
COMPLETION OF T'HlN'KFUL.N-Es


rTHE ingrattude of man to his fellow man is so
i often met with in life that testimonials,
prompted by the finer feelings Of the heart are
oasis in the life of those who sacrifice their best
days in philanthropc devotion to the alienation
of the ills OF frail mortality. Empiricsm floods
the columns of press with fraudulent and fcti-
tious letters, singing peans to the worth of their
own egotistcal charlatanisn. Below we append
letter from a worthy who, a brief period since
seemed destined to shuttle off this mortal COLL who
looked forward to his dissolution with that pleas
ure which only those weighed down by the heavy
hand of disease Contrary to hope, the ability
of a skillful physician has restored him to his for
mer health. Relieved from his terrible situation
and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his
case and remedial agent, and his statement is au-
thenticated by Notary Public. The demands of
society mperiously command its publicity and it
is given to warn the unwary than to sound the
praises of physician of whom scores of like cases
can be cited;
