NEWS FOR THE AFFLICTED.
Announcement That Interests Mauy-Dr
Darrin, the Eminent Specialist, TO
Visit Astoria Aug. Is 10 Sept. Is.

While averse to drawing the attention
Of any OF our readers to any advertise
mont which partakes Of medical char
acter we feel more than justified in over
riding this objection with respec. to the
announcement in this issue Of the coming
of Dr. Darrin.
This far-famed physician date from
Portland. who has achieved such a great
reputation throughout the Coast and
Northwest has been prevailed upon,
through the urgent request OF many In
this vicinity to visit Astoria, as tLey
could not afford by their time and
business to consult him vt his offices in
Portland. The doctor has at laSr con-
scented to visit this city to accommodate the
afflicted and will have his office a the
Occident Hotel. Those wishing to consul,
the doctor will find 1t to their advantage
to consult him while here and during the
first part Of his stay, as many require
more than one treatment by electricity.
He comes to us laden with testimonials
from the whole Northwest, and the
authentic reports Of some of his cures
seem nothing short Of miracles. So many
thousands are already acquainted with
his mode of treatment, It sesms unneces-
sary to state that he uses little medicine
in the majority of cases, and perfects his
cures by the wonderful power of electric
ity.
There are few ills to which the human
flesh is heir, which cannot be relieved
and generally permanently cured by DR..
Darrin's electrical treatment, and cases
that have resisted the efforts of the or
dirary physicians have yielded to his
power. These cases embrace almost ev-
cry kind Of disease. and. as said before,
no man. woman or child need despair
of relief and cure while DR.. Darrin Of
fers his invaluable service.
Unlike other physicians who have be-
come eminent in their profession, DR..
Darrin does not pretend to cure all.
Office hours, 10 a m. to s p. m.
The poor treated free. except medicines,
from 3 to 10 a. m.
