EYE AND EAR DISEASES.
DR.. Slocum's Residence and Infirmary, No.
60 sixteenth Street.


As our readers generally are aware, DR..
S. NJ. SlOcum, for several years associated
with the celebrated DR.. Sadler, has estab-
liSh1d an in6rmory III this city, for the vN-
elusive treatment of diseases of the eye,
ear and throat. His rapidly increasing
business rendered it necessary that he
should have an infrmary where patients
from abroad, or those desiring to place
themselves under his constant supervi-
sion, could remain for treatment. A pri-
vatc residence and iairmary combined
was decided upon, and the doctor secured
the elegant and wcll-appointed building,
No. 80 Sixteenth street, erected by the
Oestcrling heirs. DR.. Slocum has spared
no expense to make the home complete in
all ITS details.
The doctor is enabled to treat his pa
tientS with the utmost care, giving them
every advantage which they could have in
the best hospitals in the country. To
such rs are suffering from diseses of the
eye, ear or throat, we most cordially com
mend DR.. SlOcum as Il thoroughly accom-
plished and skillful surgeon and Oculist-
a man who takes pride in his profession
and who is c~Onsiderate and conscientious
in all his dealings.

guests had reluctantly departed, with
thoughts of the delightful time passed
under the McMechen's hospitable roof up
permost in their minds.

George w. Cable is said to be the most absorbed of literary workers. He really acts his dialogues while writing them prancing about the room, addressing inn asinary persons, smiling, fro ming, mak- ing love to, and denouncing the creatures ot his magin ation. An intimate friend of the novelist told me that the usually quiet Cable would be taken for a bowling lunatic by any one who might peep through the window of his study. The depictor of Creole lie is another believer in the theory that labor is more powerful tn hAn genus. Like Pope, he makes cor rections even when his manuscripts are in the hands of the printer. Once he tel egraphed to his publisher to change a certain sentence which he had found ca- pablo of improvement. It may be here remarked, for the benefit of aspiring young writers, that this extreme care about the little details of phraseology is a characteristic of all the men whose works do not sink into obscurity fe~ months after birth. A flowing style ap. pears spontaneous to the re ader, but only those who have worked in the field of let ters themselves know of the erasures, the turning of sentences and clauses, and the many Ee~Titinss :hs; evolve ,he delight. of the printed page.
