made socially and as an accomplished and success
full physician while here some II years ago.. To
his friends and patients Of that time he needs no
Introduction, and judging frsm the number of
afflicted his old and happily cured patients have
presented to him, 1t is Just possible our introduce
ton of him here will be somewhat late. z.-
When DR.. Jones came to Pittsburg in 1853 he |
had Just disposed of large practice In New York,
because of failing health arising from overwork'
and Lad concluded to travel as means OF recu- |
peration, and at the same time extend the benefit
of his tho: ough knowledge of the physicians ar
to those who should call on him. A graduate OF
the coll ges of highest repute in Aopathy. Home
opathy Eclectcian and Opthalmic practice, he In
augurated his useful and successful career by es-
tablishing an institute of what he termed euro
pathy-a combination of the most desirable fea-
lures of all the recognized schools of medicine
at 1877 Fourth avenue, New York City. There his
common sense practice, based on rare Judgment,
enabled him to take the lead, and in less than four
years he had practice so extensive that in sheer
defence he was compelled to dispose of it and
journey for his health. Some 19 months spent In
the hospitals and with the leading specialists OF
London and Vienna enabled him to complete a
professional education seldom or never surpassed.
While in Pittsburg in the early months of 1858,
1t was the good fortune of many Of our citizens to
apply to him for relief and the fact that they re-
member him so gratefully new that II years have
passed. and send him greetings of the most friendly
character is proof of skill more convincing than
| would be a hundred thousand certificates of tho
ordinary character. Capt. VIM. Evans, for %
years river editor of the Dispatch and the father
of that department In American journalism,
states in a graceful letter of acknowledgment,
dated few days ago, that DR.. Jones cured him OF
deafness in 1863, by pleasant process not in the
least inconvenencing and that he has retained his
hearing ever since. Mr.. John King, OF NO. "a
Water street. brother of MI Alex. King, bears sim
liar testimony. Thus 1t will be observed DR.. Jones
treatment accomplishes permanent cures.
In referring to those old time cures which still
remain cured we make no apology Tor relating an
interesting incident which occurred yesterday. In
1853 Miss Hale of Bedford, was cured In three
minutes of defective vision, and at the same time
had her eyes, previously quite crooked, straight
ened so that they were as perfect as the best ar
ranged eyes. Since then Miss Hale became the
wife of Mi j. Brumbauch, of Blair county, and
had daughter who became cross-eyed, the result
ana uaugnIef were VIsIIiDg Jne exposition, and OBJ
serving by the newspapers that DR. Jones was a
the Central Hotel, called upon him and had hel
daughter treated as successfully and as quickly a:
she bad been II years before.
A few extracts from the Dispatch of 1853 will bt
interesting in this behalf, more especially as nont
but most thorough master of his art, In whom
the mo implicit confd nee may be placed. would
came back after so many years and announce as
test of his skill that his cures have remained
cured all that time. is
