When DR.. Jones came to Pittsburg in 1863 he
had Just disposed of large practice In New York,
because OF failing health arising from oyerwork,
and had concluded to travel as q means of recu-
peratlon, and at the same time extend the benefit
of his thorough knowledge Of the physicians ar

the colleges In highest reputs in Alopathy, Home

augurated his useful and successful career by es-
tablishng an institute of what he termed euro
pathy-a combination OF the most desirable fea-
lures Of all the recognized schools Of medicine
