us. announces that Dr. Hankinson Of this city can
do all these things and certain others not so desr-
able; and it is partly to give the Doctor friendly
Lift in his phlanthropic work, and partly to call the
attention of the Police TO this meritorous individual,
that we write this article. The Doctor proudly
declares his independence of "bleeding" and
"tartarized antimony." We are not sure about
the "antimony," but we are more than incredu-
lous in respect of the " bleedng;" because

that j. Allen, p. NJ, Banksvile, Ala, had "gen-

Doctor in this world, save HippOcrates Hankinson,
who changed his debility into the strength of Sam

exposed; but here be ia stin at work. He has of
