DIR. TORBERT's SUCCESS.
(From The Smyrna Call.)

DR.. John Torbert, who located here
a few months ago, is meeting with
much success in Smyrna and through
out the Peninsula, and we hear he is
making some wonderful cures. We
have learned witbin the past few days
from some of his patients tbat they are
much pleased with the benefit they
are receiving from his skillful treat
ment. 1t gives us great pleasure TO
note one case in particular in whom
we are personally interested. The
party in question has been under the
care of some of the best specialists in
Philadelphia, but received relief for
the time being only, with no apparent
benefit, but who is now rapidly i'm
proving under DR.. Torbert's treat
ment. We wish him great success.

Army officers In It.Ix.

In Italy the officers, at least, are i'm
maculate and picturesque. The COM
mon soldiers are, perhaps, not so i'm
pressive. They are short. stocky little
fellows bow legged to a man, and in
any clothes would not present a very
martial appearance. But the officers
are big, fine looking men, and their
uniforms rival the women's hats in
brilliancy. The colors used are very
unmilitary, pale blue and silver, gray
with green stripes, yellow and scarlet
and gold
The Bersaglieri or sharpshooters,
with hats over one ear and a huge
bunch of cock feathers flying out in
the wind, are as striking as any,
though the Kings guard, with brass
helmets and horse tail plumes. are by
no means ignificant.-Harper's Ba-
zar.

So he helped arrange the lunch and
drove the ants away from it, and of
course they found some things were
lacking. Then he helped gather the
remnants and the dishes together and
put them back in the baskets, and d ter

bought them some pink lemonade and

A sister of the late e. ?. Roe tells an
amusing story of the first lesson which
she and her brother ever received in
Roman history. '
Among our most loved and honored
giiests, during our childhood, was DR..
Samuel Cox, for many years a promi-
nent clergyman in New York. At
times o1r conversation turned on his
tory, and 1 remember, on one occasion,
he asked Edward and me if we could
give him the names of the first Roma
triumvifate.
At this period Of our existence
name Caesar" was associated ext
siyely with an old colored man, wi
we often visited and who lived upc
lonely road in the neighborhQod.
were vastly astonished, therefore
learn that the name had ever Is.
borne by more illustrious person thi
our dusky friend, but we listened en-
tranced to the story of the riyalries of
Caesar and Pompey for the empire Of
the world.
Unhappily the good doctor could not
remember the name Of the third ui-
umvir and the lack troubled him great
ly. That night, about . o'clock. | was
startled by loud knock on my led
room door, and Dr.. Cox called out:
"Mary. are you awakey"
l replied that was-as indeed wag

DISCRIMINATION IN THE sELEC-
TION OF A PHYSICIAN.

DISCRIMINATION IN THE SELEC-
TION OF A PHYSICIAN.
Readers of the American journal Of
Health write us from all parts of the
country, asking as to uhe standing oil
this or that physician, to whom they
are about to entrust their case, and
regarding whom They wish to be as
sured by an opinion from an absolute
ly unbiased source before they enteri
under d special treatment for their
complaint. In view Of the fact that
a large proportion of specialists have
failed to demonstrate their fitness in
the lines they have chosen to cover
in their special practice, and that
many pracbcing or advertising ply
sicians have little or no knowledge of
the science of medicine, it is but nat
ural that the public should seek the
editorial columns of a trustworthy
health journal before selecting
specialist to treat their complaints,
which in many cases have resisted the
skill of the ordinary medical practi-
tioner.
Recently we have received inquiry
from the vicinity of Wilmington, Del.
concerning Dr. John Torbert, who
practices in that place. Our cores
pondent asks regarding the ability of
this physician to effect cures in the
special diseases coming within the
scope Of his treatment.
In reply ito this inquiry and for the
benefit of Others OF our readers who
may reside in Wilmington, we have
thoroughly satisfied ourselves BY a
painstaking investigation that Dr.
John Torbert possesses decided Skill
in his special line of practice and has
justly earned most enviabe repu,a-
Hion in the various cases. such as can
GER, sores, piles, eczema, running
sores, etc. The information concern
ing this mighty suchessful practitioner
was obtained from wholly unbiased
sources and can be relied upon as be-
ing absolutely trustworthy. None
were consulted but citizens of un-
questioned standing, and in every case
HEARTILY and spontaneous testimony
was offered as to the high personal
standing and remarkable skill of DR..
John Torbert Inasmuch a sthe news
papers confessedly admit TO their
columns the advertisements of amy
practitioner of medicine who who will
pay their rates of fees, and the gen
eral public has no means whatever of
distinguishing between highest meGi
and the idle boasts of the imposter,
1T lis we'll that prudence inspires suf-
ferers to seek an unprejudiced source
from which may be obtained an opin-
ion THAT will be the means of avoiding
a sacrifice of both health and money.
We do heartily bestow praise upon
DR.. John Torbert, and we do endorse
him the leader in the treatment of the
line of special diseases coming within
his scope of the distinctive field of
complaints ito which he has devoted
years of study and experiment.
