THE ingratitude of man to his fellow man is so
/ often met 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 phan-
thrOpic devotion to the alienation Of the ills Of
frail mortality Empiricsm floods the columns
of our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth of their egotisticap
charlatanism. Below we append letter from
worthy man who. 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
of a skilful physician has restored him TO his for
mer health. Relieved from his terrible situation,
and impeled by gratitude, he makes known his
case and remedial agent, and his statement is au-
thcnticated by q notary public. The demands of
society mpcriOusly command its publicity and il
is given more to warn the unwary than to sound
the praises of a physician of whom scores of like
cases can be cited:

terable horror. that instead Ofrelef the symptoms
became more alarming in their torture, and being
finally told by one that the disease, being princi-
paly confined to the brain. medicines would be of
