who may seek his aid, and will therefore still
adhere to the rule he adopted in early life, new
er to fatter the sick and inspire hopes of recov>
cry, unless the case admits of no doubt in that
respect. Many cases being INCURABLE, and as

ion may be obtained free Of charge. The par
ticulars in regard to this will be given under the
head Of "Waste G! Time All persons who
may think of consulting DR.. French, should
