MEDICAL ADVICE.-Dr. VIM. X. Dohertys
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming a SINE
ana non to the welfare Of our State and health
of our citizens; and his rapidly spreading repn'a-
ton although it may excite surprise. IS but the
signal of skill. and follows asth natural cfect
of such cause We are personally acquainted
with ger lemen who had Suffered for years under
chronic disease. and who had taken advantage Of
every available means that promised relief but
without'succcss, until they called upon Dr.. Do
berty. who in an Incredibly short space of time
has Given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is gen
tlcman who seeks. not by defamation Of others
10 establish his reputation, or to rear the super
structure of his own upon the ruin of another's
fame The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
a manner that must be gratifying to all bis pa
tients. He examines, advises and recommends
without charge, and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
Measure. In no case does the Doctor make
charge unless he effects cure. This he is ailc
TO do because he feels the confidence which long
experence has given. and no doubt the consoa'
g.
sons afflicted with either acute OF chronic disease
would do well to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do no harm as for consultation be asks no
'see nor does be insist on obedience to his advice
,lnless the patient places himself under his care.
