We take pleasure in expressing our favorable opinion of Dr. KUTCHIN as a physicianand as a gentleman. if no other proof of his ability was accessible, this fact alonewould have much weight, that he has made visits regularly for years, and succeededin building up a successful practice where so many pretenders have failed. We donot count the Doctor as a traveling physician since his appointments are so regularlykept. As a business man, in his dealing with the press, we have always found himprompt, courteous and obliging, ever ready to fulfill his share of the contract,and setting in this respect a good example to the many jugglers who wander the countryover, calling themselves Physicians (!) Dr. KUTCHIN must not be confounded with these.

We would advise all suffering from any chronic disease to lose no time in consultingDr. KUTCHIN, who will make his next visit to the Wilson House on Tuesday, December3d. Remember he charges nothing for consultation, and we are confident you will notregret a call on him.
