make glad the heart of the Rector, whose
labors have been SO abundantly blessed,
in the short time he has been among us
but whose recent, protracted illness, has
made it impossible to properly prepare
all who were DESTROYS of being confirmed,
or the number would have been materially
larger, that would have been presented
for confirmation on this occasion. As it,

for thanksgiving to Almighty God, for
this manifestation of His Holy Spirit up
on this anniversary of the descent Of the
Holy Ghost,
The church was deliberately and taste
fully decorated with flowers and plants
by the ladies of the society, and the sing
ing under the direction of Miss Higley
who has charge ofthe choir was excellent,
as may always be expected as the result
of her training. A marked feature Of
the singing of Miss Higley we cannot
forbear to mention is the perfect render
ing, and articulation of the words, and
their sentiments, instead Of their being
smothered in a flood of sound, as is too
much of the music the present day.

MY REASONS.

NJ hEASONS.
Knowing of the many prejudiccs 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 diffcrents points, in Vermont and
vicinity, was almost daily in receipt Of letters
from parties in the country who, though anxious
to consult me- ayowed their utter inability to come
to Burlington for that purpose and being anxious
to meet the wishes of those applicants but con-
WINGED of the uscessness 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 attention has been exclusively
devoted to tho 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
speciality embraces the eradication Of CONSUME
TON, CATTARH, THROAT DISEASES, AZ
FECTIONS of the VOCAL ORGANS, ASTHMA,
and all LARYNGIAL, BRONCHIAL and Pull
M0NARY 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, can
did opinion will be given to the probability of
a cure, and case will be accepted for treatment
which does not offer reasonable chance of sue
cess.
In opening permanent Office in the TINES
BUILDING Burlington, for the cure of all chronic
diseases, 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 comprehensive experience.
