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
without success, 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
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
tents. 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
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
tion which appertains to that confidence. Per.
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would do well to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do no harm, us for consultation he asks no
fee: nor does he insist on obedience 10 his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care.
His offices are on Sacramento street, opposite the
Pacific Mail Steamship Offices. +. News.
