that of former dentist of Washington

enthusiastically remark that " DR.. Newton
can put in the best gold-flling of any man

speciality of gold-filling, in everything else
pertaining to the profession he is equally
skillful and competent. The class of GUS
toners for whom he is wont to do work,
and their unanimous praise of the treat
ment received at his hands, is assurance of
the truth of this statement. His office is
comfortable and conveniently located and
is furnished with all the most improved in

DR.. E. w. RoYCE's office at the Mont

patients, as the day set down for his final
departure draws nigh, and it seems almost
impossible to get audience with him on ac-
count of the almost constant demands upon
his time. Sufferers from paralysis, epilepsy,
dropsy, kidney difficulties, female COM
plants, heart disease and host of other
troubles, are among his patients, and these
are but few of the many cases that have been
cured by this man, whose patrons style him
a truly wonderful physician, and are facts
given in an unvarnished way. Some say it
is quackery, others that it is marvellous;
but, call it what you may, when it comes to
a man, standing in the presence of patient
all eaten up and wrecked with pain, making
prophesy as to the future of that patient,
and then going to work to fulfill his own
prophesy, which is apparently the changing

row with one Gordon, also colored.

he was turned over, allowed him to
