painful disease it too often happens that an ILL.,

tiers him from applying to those, who, from edu-
cation and responsibility, alone bcfliend him.
He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing. fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trifling month

sbity, is sufficient guarantee TO the afflicted.
