The editor of the Cincinnati Gazette writes
from Washing ton that a gentleman now
in that city has lately interviewed Andrew
johnson and adds 'Since his fall this man
had not spoken to the ex President, but the
latter having called he received him respect
fully. He says johnson is greatly distressed
in mind. He has been cut by the rebels on
all hands, and he does not hesitate to de-
nounce the Democratic party of the South
as party of traitors. My informant says
Johnson would gladly get back into the Re-
publican party, if he could see any way
through which he could pass"

that it is in our power Eto in reduce him to
the suffering humanity of this vicinity.
We speak of J. b. RUSSELL MD. and

celebrated lnfrmary in that city, at which,
at the present time, there are over three
hundred patients under medical treatment
This Infrmary has been incorporated by

object, has been prevailed upon to open an
Office and prescribe for "the ills that flesh is
heir to" and for that purpose has made his

where he has already been waited upon by
several Of our most prominent citizens. We
are sorry to say that our citizens have fire.

large fees but III this instance We cannot
see what benefit it would be to DR.. Russell
to humbug the people here, and consequent
ly ruin his reputation. Besides, if he does
not cure his patient he asks no recompense
Whatever the Doctor promises the public
can fully rely upon. He would not stake
his reputation. upon an incurable case, but
would frankly state it was beyond his con-
troll, and having known him for above thir'
teen years, we feelgable to endorse any as
sertion he may make. 1t is unnecessary to
enumerate all the diseases that are special

Journal, published in Memphis), contains a
list of them, which Journal can be procured
at his Office. In treating cases of deafness,
dyspepsia, rheumatism, cancers, etc, he has
met with unbounded success And we will
add that in all female diseases he has been
more successful than any other physician
in the country. In the last: number of the
Family RerieW the Doctor says;

contracted and stiff for years, are relaxed
Cases of 20, 80, and 40 years standing have
been cured by me after all other means had
failed.
A great accomplishment is my triumph
over pain, by which can :often, in a few
moments, soothe and carry off the most ex-
cruciatiug sufferings.
In conclusion we will state that DR.. Rus
