METHODIST PuLpIT. - Mr.. Bailey
preached with more than his usual earn.
estress, His subject both got hold Of
him and he got hold of the subject. His
text was in 2 Kings 4:32-35. The point
in it was with reference to Elisha stretch
ing himsct on the dead body Of the son
Of the Shunamite women, in order to re-
store him to life. He regarded this incl
dent as illustrative Of the vital point in
the gospel economy,-the restoration of
the dead to life-dead bodies and dead
souls,-the most difficult problem doubt
less, in Gods moral government, Chris
tianity only answers the ancient and COM
mon question-If man dies shall he
live again ? Other systems of religion
treat this question with the utmost eau.
ton, dodge it, or ignore it altogether.
The best or worst of them, the so called
liberal christian system, about indicating
a disease which they are not able to cure.
But Christianity and the Bible, after
boldly affirming the deadness OF the af.
fections in man, meet the problem of
cure with an adequate remedy. But to
devise such remedy vast outlay Of
Divine energy was necessary. 1t was
furnished by Christ in his great redemp.
ton mission. But man Christian men,
the church have also work to do, which
demands on their part the utmost outlay
of which he is capable. AS the prophet
stretched himself on the dead body of the
boy, so Christ stretched himself upon
the cross, which the preacher regarded
as a symbol of the morally dead human
race, and so must we stretch ourselves as
with eye to eye, mouth to mouth. and
hand to hand, upon the dead body of an
and unsaved humanity, if we
are to be agents in bringing them to life.
The church may well awake, and realize
what work is demanded of her; and in.
dividual christians, likewise, contemplate
the work required of them.
Next Sabbath Mr.. Bailey will preach
a memorial sermon on the death of Mr..
John Crane. Subject, Why are men
made immortal at conversion

MAY Il AND ~,
MY REASONS.


Knowing of the many prejudices existing in the
public mind as well as in the mind of the "regu-
lar Physician" against specialists or 'traveling
physicians feel that few explanatory words
in regard to my position, and the circumstances
which Induce me to Gravel" are duo to the pub
lie as well as to myself. Before making engage
ments to visit diiferents points, in Vermont and
vicinity, was almost daily in receipt of letters
from parties in the country who, though anxious
to consult me, avowed their utter inability to come
to Burlington for that purpose; and being anxious
to meet the wishes of those applicants, but con-
WINGED of'thc uselessness and danger of prescribe
ing without previous personal examination,
finally determined on making regular visits to as
many towns in Vermont and vicinity as my time
would admit Of and thus afford such persons an
opportunity Of consulting me.
From the commencement of my professional ca
reer, my time and attcntio has been exclusively
devoted to the study and investigation of diseases
of the NASAL CAVITY, THROAT, LUNGS and
CHEST, to affections of the EYE and EAR, and
arrangements of the NERVOUS SYSTEM. My
specially embraces the eradication of CONSUME
TON, CATTARH, THROAT DISEASES, AT
FECTI0NS of the VOCAL ORGANS, ASTHMA,
and all LARYNGIAL, BRONCHIAL and Pull
M0NA2Y COMPLAINTS, the removal of DEAF
NESS, DISCHARGES from the EAR, NOISES in
the HEAD, the restoration Of DEFECTIVE
SIGHT, by medical and surgical means, and the
treatment of all diseases leading to GENERAL
DEBILITY, or to the establishment of consump-
ton.
In every case coming for examination, u can
did orinion will be given ms to the probability of
cure, and no case will be accepted for treatment
which does not offer a reasonable chance of sue
cess.
In opening permanent Office in the TINES
BUILDING Burlington, for the cure of all chronic
diseaes where | will be found in personal attend
ancc most of the time. | am determined to do
everything in my power in order to strengthen
the good opinion, which from my reputation, may
be already entertained Of me, and to exert my
self to the utmost in behalf of those who may
confde their caser to my professional care.
In conclusion, permit me to assure the public
that invalids coming under my care, may expect
to receive every benefit guaranteed by science,
skill, and n comprehensive experience.
