MY REASONS.

Knowing Of the many prejudices existing in the
pubic mind as well as in the mind Of the "rogu-
lar Physician" against specialists or "traveling
physicians, feel that few explanatory words
IN regard to my position, and the circumstances
which Induce me to Gravel" are duo to the pub
ments to visit dlferents points, in Vermont and
vicinity, was almost daily in receipt of letters
from parties in the country who, though anxious
to consult mo, avowed their utter in ,blity to come
to Burlington for that purpose; and being anxious
to meet the wishes of those applicants but con-
WINGED of the uselessness and danger of prescrib-
ing without a previous personal examination,
finally determined on making regular visits to as
many towns in Vermont and vicinity as my time
would admit Of, and thus afford such persons an
opportunity Of consulting me.
From the commencement of my professional Ca
reer, my time and attention has been exclusively
devoted to the study and investigation of diseases
of the NASAL CAVITY, THROAT, LUNGS and
CHEST, to affections of the EYE and EAR and
arrangements of the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Ny
Speciality embraces tne eradication OF CONSU Mp
TON, CATrARH, THROAT DISEASES, Az
FECTI0NS of the VOCAL ORGANS, ASTHMA,
and all LARYNGIAL, BRONCHIAL and Pull
MONARY COMPLAINTS, the removal of DEAF
NESS, DISCHARGES from the EAR, NOISES in
the HEAD, the restoration of DEFECTIVE
SIGHT, by medical and surgical means, and the
treatment ofall diseases leading to GENERAL
DEBILITY, or to tho establishment Of consump-
ton.
In every case coming for examination, a can
did opinion will be given as to the probability of
cure, and no case will be accepted for treatment
which does not offer a reasonable chance Of sue
cess.
In opening permanent Office in the TINES
BUILDING Burlingt N, for the cure of all chronic
diseases, whore will be found in personal attend
ance most of the time. am determined to do
everything in my power in order to strengthen
the good opinion, which from my reputation, may
DO already entertained Of me, and to exert my
self to the utmost in behalf Of those who may
condde their easer to my professional care.
In conclusion, permit me to assure the public
that inyalds coming under my care, may expect
to receive every benefit guaranteed by science,
skill anda comprehensive experience.
