WELCOMED TO PITTSBURG.
Old Patients of.17 Years Ago Call
on DR.. Jo1es-An Instance of
Remarkable Success in Ear.
Eye and Other Spe-
ciallies.

The arrival OF DR.. J. A. Jones in this city will be
welcome news to the extensive acquaintance ne
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 from the number of
afflicted his old and happily cured patients have
presented to him. 1t is just possible our introduc-
ton of him here will be somewhat late.
When DR.. Jones came to Pttsburg in 1868 he
had Just disposed of large practice in New York,
because of failing health arising from oTerWork,
and had concluded to travel as means of recu-
peratlon, and at the same time extend the benefit
of his tho. ough knowledge of the physicians art
to those who should call on him. A graduate Oh
the colIsge Of highest reputs in Alopathy, Home
opathy Eclectician and Opthalmic practice, he in
augurated his useful and successful career by es-
tablIshIng an institute Of what ne termed Curo-
Dathy-a combination of the most desirable lea
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
wears he had practice so extensive that IN sheer
defence he was compelled TO dispose OF 1t and
tourney for his health. Some 10 months spent In
the hospitals and with the leading specialists of
London and Vienna enabled him to complete
professional education seldom or never surpassed.
While in Pittsburg in the early months of 1868,
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 now 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
a ordinary character Capt. VIM. Evans, for 20
years river editor Of the Dispatch and the father
: of that department in American journalism,
. states in a graceful letter Of acknowledgment,

least mountaineering and at he has retained his

liar testimony. Thus 1t will be observed DR.. Jones

In referring TO those 0ld-time cures which still
remain cured we N Ike no apology or relating al
interesting incident which occurred yesterday.
