ELEGANT QUARTERS.
REMOVAL OF Or. N. S. BURNHAM'S EYE,
EAR AND THROAT INflRMARY.
A San Antonio Institution----Treating
Patients In the City from All Parts of
the state and From Mexico.

Through the courtesy OF DIR. N. S. Burnham,
the distinguished and successful oculist and
aurist Of this city, LIGHT reporter was shown
through the new and elegant quarters now oc-
oupied by him as an eye and ear inirmary.
DIR. Burnham has just removed from his
former Offices at No. ga Commerce street in
to the Odd Fellows building at the corner Of
st. Mary and Houston. Here he occupies
the entire floor ofthe second story. His prac-
tice has so largely increased as to necessitate
the change to a more commodious building,
better adapted to his professional requirements
and more comfortable and accessible to his
patients. His advent TO his new quarters
has been signaled by a complete and
tasty renovation thereof; so much so,
that i, is within the limits of
plain truth to say that no infrmary in the
State, no matter to what specialties il may be
devoted, can present such large and pleasant
surroundings. On reaching the second hoor,
after entering by the stairway on St. Mays
street, the first room entered is the reception
room. 1t is very spacious and most costly
furnished. There is no attempt at the gaudy
or startling display. The ceiling is master
piece OF decorated art IN itseli and shows
skill in the blending of colors and taste of de-
sign that does infinite credit. Soft Administer
carpets, appropriately bordered, are spread on
the hoor, and the furniture is selected with
view to comfort and ease. Here are found on
