Important to Females.

When female is IN trouble afflicted with dis
ease and requires medical surgical assistance
the enquiry should be, Where is there a physician
who is fully competent to administer relief, and
aud whose respectable ct-a-il il society recon-
mends him to the cor..C-lo- q .-e community !?
The Doctor, understanding how imperatively ueces-
sary these requirements are. feels called upon to
inerpose, and by calling the attention of the act
ed to the fact that e has been a PROFESSOR OF
OBSTETRICS AND FEMALE DISEASES for
twenty years. and is fully qualified to administer
in all cases. both medically and surgicaly, not in
superficial manner but in as thorough Il manner as
years of study and practice-both in hospitals and
private iamies-can make, to save them from the
hands of the unqualified inscriptions nd desi n
ing. Therefore. miles can rely upon him as upon
