! porters TO enable him 10 entertain and answer
! them, as well his large daily dealings with
disease at the Worlds Dispensary, appear to

work, by rendering him very familiar with the
every dav medical needs of the people. He
endeavors in this work 10 answer all the
numerous questions rslating 10 health and dis
| ease that have been addressed to HIM by the
