DR.. e. W. Brown, OccuIist,

-,sssN.szse<- RESPECTFULLYte tenders his pro-
=saE fessionsl services to the citizens of
upper Missouri and the Kansas Ter
ritory. Having carried an Eye infrmary
for several years past in Platte city, Mo-, and
having treated large number of patients with
almost every description of diseased Eyes, he
atterS himself that he will be able to give salts
faction to all who may desire his services. His
infirmary buildings are large and fitted up SO
that patients are not only well Accommodated but
under his immediate care. The cost of being
cured at his establishment is comparatively
small when travelling and other expences to st.
Louis or anyother distant point are considered.
Persons having children laboring under longcon-
continued scrofulous disease of the Eyes are most
positively assured that they can get them cured
at his infrmary. DR.. Brown would, also, mes.
respectfully invite the attention of the med
ical profession throughout the country to his es-
tablishment, and if cases of diseased Eyes should
spring up in their practice that can only be trea-
ted successfully at an eye infirmnary he would be
much pleased to have them recommended or sent
to his. If any further information is wanted,
