We report the case of Capt. John A. Krwan,
der Of the steamer samuel J. Pentz and other eN-
oursion boats, plying between this city and the
various resorts along the bay, aud we feel cspe-
cially gratiied that we can do so, because OF the
extensive acquaintance of the captain, and the
consequent good which Will result to us from an
association with SO popular gentleman. Some
thing over month ago Capt. Kirwan began our
treatment. He was suffering from n general pros
tration, resulting from nrduuus labor in the inter
est OF his passengers, and few of the many who
reveled in the delights of II summer excursion
under the careful protection of our friend and pa
tient knew of the weary nights he passed in sleep
lessnoss and misery after each return to the city.
The one most conscious was the sufferer, and the
one most grateful TO us, or our means OF relief is
the one who was the sufferer but Is now enjoying
perfect sleep, good digestion. and great comfort III
every way We might enumeraie the different
his expressions of gratitude to us and faitn in our
treatment, but 10 is sufficient to say to his many
friends that we are authorized by the gentleman
himself to make this statement
