The task of instructing and entertaining the peo-
pie in the science of Health Strength and Beauty is
one which very few physicians can find time 10 at,
tempt, but which every one who is intelligent and
Hebbard (whose reputation is well known to the
Portland Public makes a business of doing this. He
makes an abstruse science as plain OF om2rehenson
as the alphabet. He makes his humblest hearers IA
mliar with the techncaties he uses, and teaches In
the painest words how to prevent many OF the COM
mon ills of life, and what habits are destructive to
health and happiness. He is an educated man, a
gentleman is welcomed by resident physicians; and
everywhere he goes is paron1zed by all the best peo
ple and, therefore. in placing DR.. Hebbard before
the public of this city instructor and entertain

New England and practiced his profession for years
in Boston, the Doctor received an honorary member

his praise that the said lecture called for and de-
iyered in over one hundred cities of the Union dur
ing the same year. The year following he opened In
fremont Temple his full course OF Physiological Lee

three consecutive nights, at the conclusion of which
some three hundred citizens made him present OF

ceyed from the Genealogical Soc etv" OF that city

their great book'' entitled The Representative Men
of Boston, In the summer of the same season the
Doctor received the degree of LII. u. from Austin
