DIR. WILBUR, THE SPECIALIST.


would be supposed by every OF that
there was bat little work left undone by
our home physicians and the tetsral other
noted specialists who for some time have
bssn busily engaged in this special work
among the citizsns of this city and sur
rounding country, it was but nstursl to
predict that no matter how great were the
eurstiye powers Of this celebrated physi-
clan be would find bat few, if any, who
nseded his services, and that his stay
among us would therefore be Of short
duration.
Just how far short Vsre such predictions,
and how little did we realize the powers
of this gentleman to impress upon the pub
lie, almost in an instant, his superior SKILL
over sll who had preceded him, is bat too
plainly pictured in the crowds that from
the very day of his arrival have constantly
throoged his Office. That his reputation
had Travelled fer ahead Of his arrival in
person, there can he no doubt. Ga bis AZ

that he was in fact a master of his profess
ion, and that all who plscsd their case in
his hands were not only safe, but on the
rapid road to health, Opening an ofics in
the Hotel Windsor, the doctor served
not;cs through the daily papers that he
would remain in this city for fifteen days
only; but 50 great has been the demand
upon his services, he finds it necessary to
prolong his visit, and will remain until
