found his rooms thronged with patients.
and was forced to wait ttr0 hours before
admittancs could be had. These afllict

distance Of hundreds of miles, in this
and surrounding States. They include
numbers of tho most respectable and
wealthy Of our people. Among them
may be found physicians, lawyers. mer-
chants, planters, mechanics, ministers,
and persons from every grade and sta
ton in society. Thus far all are unani-
nous in ascribiug TO the doctor great
professional skill, aud express the
highest es.isfnction with the result of
his mode of treatment Some euree,
indeed, have been most remarkable, and
are attostod by the evidence Of the
parties themselves.
% Friday, DR.. Jones performed fcs
difficult and delionte surgical operations,
besides prescribing for large number
OF patients. Two of these upon whom
he had operated called at this Office and
gave in their experience. Ono of them,
MIR. w. O. Wilder, who reside. near
Knoxville, in Crawford County, stated
that he has been almost totally blind for
the past Eve years, owing to film
which had spread over his eyes, accom-
panied by great weakness, heat and con-
slant weeping. He had consulted many
physicians and tried their remedies
without avail, and when induced to visit
DR.. Jones, threa weeks since, considered
bis case hopeless. The doctor removed
the film by skillful operation, and
treated him internally and externally,
also with saoh effect that now his vision
is restored, and he had every reason to
believe the cure permanent.
Tho other, Mr.. H. Il. Porter, of
Griffin, young man about twenty three
years OF age, received accidentally
during the war bayonet prick near
the corner OF ono eye, which DANA gad
that organ seriously, aud left it crossed
over, almost under the nose. In five
minutes, the doctor removed the dill
Guilty, in She presence ot q friend who
also accompanied, him, and when we
saw him, the ball was perfectly straight,
and moved about as naturally as the
othe-- 4 h!ood-shot appearance Il Tho
corner next the nose was the only evi
dence that surgical operation had
been performed.
DR.. B. BnFge. also of Geneya, Ga !,
who has for many years been O sufferer
from the most distressing form of
asthma. was induced to try the doctors
wonderful inhaling apparatus and mode
of treatment, and is loud in his praises
of the man who had afforded hin, such
inexpressible relief.
On Friday, Mrs. Jadge Spcer, OF
Griffin. had surgical operations per-
formed npon q son and daughter, for
deformity, with such success that she
was most profound in her expressions
OF gratitude, and went away determined
to do nll in her power to induce her
oilicted friends to consult DR.. Jones.
Mr.. J. N. kirkpatrick, Of Opclika.
Alabama, writes SO follows: II am proud
to say that l have never regretted the
fee paid you for prescribing for my
lungs. have been O new man ever
since, and have not had to lose day
from my business since you were here. u
He then adds: II am out of medicine.
and don't know that will ever need it,
but still prefer to have it in readiness.
Send the same. am requested to ask
If there will be any chance for you to
