The greatness of great men cannot
be concealed. Like murder it will

prising that Major Zebina Kallikrates
Pangborn should follow the foot
steps of other illustrious men
and be known "onn something.
1t might naturally be sup
posed that the something would be
"Pangborn ON Pure Malt Whiskey,n
"Pangborn on Temperance, !" "Pang-

the sort. AS "Pangborn on Corns and
Bunions," will the Major go down to
posterity?
The modesty of great men is pro-
verbal. For twelve long years this
thrilling treatise has been buried from
public view, and but for an extract
which appeared in last nights Journal
might forever have lain unknown and
unrecognixed. This is the extract
From Major Pangbora, Editor Of the Jersey
City Journal, of Jan. 20, 1878
WE SAW 1T DONE.
A few days ago we had au opportunity to per-
sonally observe the skill exhibited in operating
for the removal OF the diseases OF the human
foot. A lady, a relative of ours, was afflicted
with a large bunion on one foot, on the great
toe joint. which was exceedingly painful and
would soon, ii not removed, have disabled her.
She likewise had some very troublesome corns,
both hard and soft. We saw them al removed
In a few minutes without causing the
patient . particle OF pain, completely eradicat-
ing the troublesome excrescences. The lady
walked away with her feet restored to a sound
condition and intensely pleased with the relief
afforded, as well she might be. The deft, skillful,
rapid work of this skiliful operator has puzzled
the most scientific minds. eminent physicians,
learned men and women all over the United
States have become his patients, and highly

ate. and the poor are treated at low prices. He
Can afford sure and instant relief TO all who
suffer from ingrowing nails, corns, bunions,
wens, lnoles and worts, etc, without pain, and
effecting, in all cases, permanent cures.
This brief extract is but a fair ex-
ample of the whole treatise. In the
opening pages under the head Instruc-
tions, Doctor P%angborn introduces
the first stages of the operation with
the utmost delicacy, as follows
"The operator should display con-
spicuously in the anteroom a large
