GRATITUDE Is THE

CO.NPLETTO.N or TTLf.A'h'Fi'I.NESS.
TIVE ingratitude 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 philanthropic devotion to the alleyaton
Of the ills of frail mortality. Empircism floods
the columns OF our press with fraudulent and icti-
tious letters, singing peans TO the worth of their
own egotistical charlatanism. Below we append
letter from worthy man who, o brief period since,
seemed destined to shuttle off this mortal COLI 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 skilful 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 imperously command its publicity, and 1t
is given more to warn the unwary than to sound the
praises Of physician of whom scores of like
can be cited:
