MEDICAL ADVICE.-Dr. VIM. X. Doherty s
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming sine
qua non to the we liare of our State and health
OF our citizens; and his rapidly spreading reputa-
ton, although it may excite surprise, is but the
signal Of skill, and follows rs the natural effect
of such cause. We are personally acquainted
with gentlemen who had suffered for years under
chrouic disease, and who had taken advantage of
every available means that promised relief but
without success, until they called upon DR.. Do
herty, who in an incredibly short space of time,
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact because the Doctor is a gen.
tleman who seeks. not by defamation Of Others
to 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 his pa
tientS. He examines, advises and recommends
his terms for treatment can accept or reject at
pleasure In no case ;does the Doctor make u
charge unless he effects aicure. This, he is able
to do, because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given and no doubt the consola
tion which appertains to that confidence. Per
sons afflicted with either acute OF chronic disease
would do well to consult the Doctors at all events
it can do no harm, as for consultation he asks no
fee; nor does he insist obedience 10 his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care.

The Body of Wilkes Booth.

The Cincinnati Union commenting on GER
tain rumors concerning the death of Booth
and the disposal of his body, makes the fol-
lowing statement, the facts of which, the
Union says, were received at the time, from
authority not to be doubted
"a few days before the body of Booth so
mysteriously disappeared, our informant, a
resident of New York and favorably known
as a dramatic writer. was called upon after
band hours to cash the draft of an underta-
ker, near neighbor, who stated that he had
receive an order from the Booth family to re-
pair to Washington with coffin, and there
to receive the body of John Wilkes Booth,
which would be surrendered to him ON their
order, and to convey it North for burial.
The undertaken said he would return and
pass through New York with the body on
Thursday evening or on Friday morn ing of
the same week.
The morning after the undertaken left
Washington, the report came by telegraph
that the body had mysteriously disappeared
that it had been secretly buried-one re-
port said in an old field. another in the Pen
itentiary yard, and still another that it had
been taken to sea and sunk.
The undertaken did not return to his fam
lily until some days had elapsed He came
from the North, but declined to give any in
formation relative to the place where John
Wilkes Booth, under another name, had been
buried. Should it get out, he said, the grave
would be violated and the body removed,
and the family were naturally anxious that
this should not be-
These facts coming to us from the source
they did, are more than sufficient to convince
US, not only of the death of John Wilkes
Booth, but that his body with a pledge of Sc
cresy freely given and fully kept, was given
over to his family for burial, and that except
the relatives of Booth and the undertaken,
no living being knows where the last remains
of John Wilkes Booth are Inferred No slab
marks the last resting place of the assassin.
The man who dug the grave knew not for
whom it was intended, and in the burial
permit was inserted false name. In his
unknown grave the assassin will lie until the
grave gives up its sheeted dead, and all are
called to judgement
