GRATITUDE Is TEE

COMPLETION OF T'Tf.NRFULN.ESS.
IINHE ingrattude of man to his fellow man is so
l. 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 phanthropc devotion to the alienation
of the ills of frail mortality. Empricism floods
the columns of our press with fraudulent and fct-
tious letters, singing peans to the worth of their
own egotistlcal charatanism. Below we append
letter from worthy man 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 can Contrary to hope, the ability
of sklful 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 aI-
thenticated by Notary Public. The demands of
society imperiously command its publicity. and it
is given more to warn the unwary than to sound the
praises of physician Of whom scores Of like cases
can be cited:

able horror that instead of relief, the symptoms
became alarming in their torture: and, being told
by one that my disease. being principally confined
to the brain, mecines woul. sJblittle conse ddoi

pain and dizziness in my head Encouraged by
this result, resolved to place myself Immediately
under his care and by strict obedience to all his
directions and advice, my head became clear, my
ideas collected, the constant pain in my back and
grolns, the weakness of my limbs, the nervous re-

the ncapablity to study and want of resolutions;
