sieians Good physicians can generally do
better in old settled communities than in

is no desire on their part to relinquish a
present or promising practice for the uncer-
tainties of new country. Montana has
been flooded with inexperienced doctors,
and the people have become incrednlons MS
to the merits of those offering their profess
sional services in that way. The success Of
DIR. Thos. Reece, of Helena, in the treatment
of the most difficult cases has demonstrated
the fact Of his ability, and secured him q
large and lucrative practice. Being mem
Der of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, is an evidence of experience and conn
potency sufficient to recommend him to the
confidence Of our people; but he has also made
the diseases peculiar to our Territory study,

with the most modern practice adopted BY
the European and American faculties. We

his influence, as much a that of anv

$4,000 was saved to The State, was
overwhelmingly defeated in the

being one OF the most effective aud
