the gems are found, and pans out the earth in the
water, like gold washers. The negroes are naked
to prevent their secreting the diamonds in their

face, lest they should swallow the jewels when
found. Yet they do carry them away, by becom-

MEDICAL ADVICE.-Dr. VIM. X. Doherty's
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming sine
qua non to the welfare 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 as the natural effect
Of such cause. We are personally acquainted
with gentlemen who had suffered for years under
chronic disease, and who had taken advantage OF
every available means that promised relief, but
withoutsuccess, until. they called upon DIR. 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 gen.
tlcman who seeks, not byydefamation of others,
to establish his reputation, or to rear the super
structure of his own upon the ruin Of anothers
fame. The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
= 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
pleasure. In no case !does the Doctor make a
charge unless he effects cure. This, he is able
to do. because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given, and no doubt the consola
ton which appertains to that confidence. Per.
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would dowell to consult the Doctor; at all events
II can do no harm, as for consultation he asks no
fee: nor does be insist on obedience to his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care.

swing off from its principles should not fol.
