ness Of His Claims to Cure Any Case That
Is Durable by Human SKILL.
Arriving in our city at time when it
would be supposed by every one that
there was but little work left undone by
our home physicians and the several
other noted specialists who for some
time have been busily engaged in this
special work among the citizens Of this
city and surrounding country, it was but
natural to predict that no matter how
great were the curative powers OF this
celebrated physician he would find but
few, il any, who needed his services,
and that his stay among US would there
fore be OF short duration.
Just how far short were such predic.
tions, and how little did we realize the
powers OF this gentleman to impress up.
on the public. almost in an instant, his
superior skill over all who had preceded
him, is but too plainly pictured in the
crowds that from the very day OF his ar
rival have constantly thronged his office.
That his reputation has travelled far
ahead OF his arrival in person there can
be no doubt. On his arrival in this city,
he delivered at the Opera House three
OF his celebrated lectures, and in each
instance the house was so crowded that
standing room was scarcely attainable.
At each Of these lectures the Doctor
gave, in full detail, not only by words
but by the most scientific display OF the
human body, so thorough and impress
sive a discourse upon the human body In
its each and every part, that all who
wereso fortunate as TO hear him no longer
hesitated (if they had before any doubt
to believe that he was in fact master OF
his profession, and that all who placed
their case in his hands were not only
safe, but on the rapid road 10 health.
Opening an office in the Hotel Windsor,
the doctor served notice through the
daily.papers that he would remain in
this city for fifteen days only; but so
great has been the demand upon his SER
vices, he finds it necessary to prolong
his visit, and will remain until January
0, that he may in part attend to at least
a portion OF his many patients.
DR.. Wilbur is too well known rthe
entire country to need any further in.
PRODUCTION to the public, than to say that
he is not only a graduate Of the first
medical college in the United States, but
has spent many years in Europe, where
he has spent many years OF constant
study in the different branches OF his
profession. Graduating at the Univer.
sity OF New York, with the first honors
OF his class, he has with untiring energy
devoted himself to his profession, and
stands before the worldto-day man who
can with all honesty claim TO be able TO
master every branch OF his profession oil
which he makes u specially. 1t has been
our pleasure TO meet DR.. Wilbur, and to
find him most pleasant and agreeable
gentleman, who .impresses all with
whom he comes in contact with not
only his wonderful skill in his probes
sion, but carries with it that gentleness
ofcharacter so necessary in his profes'
sion.
While the doctor can produce thou
sands of certificates from his many pa
tients, his reputation has reached that
point where such are not necessary, but
for the benefit OF those who may wish to
know few OF the many cases he has
successfully treated in this city during
the past two weeks, wegive the following
brief list:
Mrs. Chalmer Drummond, who resides
in Kirkwood, had large mole removed
from her face by means OF plaster. The
operation was performed by DR.. Wilbur.
Mrs. Drummond states she likes this
mode OF procedure much better than the
knife, as it gave her no pain.
Mrs. Catharine Wurster, No. 600 Ma
tional Road, has had tumor on the edge
OF her eyelid for fifty years, which was
removed by DR.. Wilbur. Its position
rendered the operation an extremely
delicate one, nevertheless it was done in
less than minute.
Mrs. Jas. Shaw, No. 3S Twenty-seventh
street, has had bladder and female
troubles for five years, was treated by
thirteen physicians, got no better, sui.
fered agonies Of death, took all kinds OF
medicine, still grew worse, neighbors
used to hear her pitiful cries nights, did
not sleep unless under morphine for
years. She treated with DR.. Wilbur but
a short time and feels like new woman,
has no pain and sleeps well nights and
takes no morphine. She states DR.. Viii
bur has given her new leasc OF life.
Two young men and a young girl OF
our city have resolved TO be straight the
rest OF their lives. Their names and
residences are Frank Freish, No. $500
Main street; Joseph Garner, No. 80 Zane
street, and Mary Long, No. 1921 Chap
line street. They have all been crooked
eyed, as every one knows that knew
them, and yesterday they called on DR..
Wilbur at the Windsor and he made
their eyes perfectly straight in one min
ute and each declare the operation was
nearly painless.
Miss Oracle Jackson, corner Fortieth
and Wood streets, had tumor for six
teen years, which had attained consider
able size. DR.. Wilbur removed it and
she speaks very highly OF the doctor as
she has experienced no pain since the
operation.
Mr.. VIM. Arndt, No. 3l37 McColloch
street, has been cross-eyed for ten years.
DR.. Wilbur fixed them in one minute
without pain.
