R. S. Brigham, NJ. D., formerly of this
city, is located, we hear, in New Albany,
Indiana, with view of prachcing his pro.
tession there. The many friends of the doc
tor, In Caro- and southern Illinois, will Ger
tainly join us in the wish that he may
speedily win his way to an extensive and
lucrative practice. During his ten years
residence in Cairo he maintained reputa-
ton as q learned and most successful prac
titioner of the Homeopathy branch Of the
medical profession, to which he belongs,
winning as professional man
the patronage and confidence of
many Of Our most intelligent and respecta-
bic families, and the respect of our entire
community as an intelligent upright and
scholarly citizen. He devoted much of his
time, during his residence IN Cincinnati to
the taking OF Lectures and pursuing the
| study OF the diseases OF the eye and ear
and, during the present month received
from the Pulte medical college Of that city,
the honorary degree Of Adeundem. And
now we repeat, in conclusion, that the doc
tors many friends and former patrons
here, send him cordial wishes, expecting
and believing that the good people of New
Albany will not be slow to recognize his
merits, both as physician and gentleman.
