listen to the scientific dissertations
given by the doctors upon the
various diseases to which human
flesh is heir.
Dnriug the past three weeks the

cases Of various Diseases, chronic
and otherwise, and whether their
patients have been benefited or
not we have nothing to say, AS that
matter is no affair of ours. II the
people are satisfied we certainly
have no kick coming. But we do
wish to say this for the doctors.
Since their arrival in the city they
have acted IN a most courteous,
geAtlemanly manner, have paid
their bills promptly and have con-
Quoted themselves as gentlemen
should. They have given the peo-
pie o varied form OF entertainment
which has amused and pleased.
The Express has nothing bat good
wishes for them. and should they
ever visit our city again, hopes
they will find courteous welcome.
