past we have called attention to the
mammoth advertisement of DIR. G. B.
Ham which appears in our columns. In
these notices we have purposely refrain
ed from the expression of a personal
opinion Of the Doctor. His continued
visits to our city and the constantly in
creasing numbers that throng bis par
lors at each succeeding visit, coupled
with the important fact that not a word
of dissatisfaction has come to our ears
from any one Uf his many patients
makes it duty to our readers that we
personally call attention to the work the
Doctor is doing The evidences in our
community of his superior skill are but
the legitimate results of his years of ex-
perieuce and training in the principal
centers Of medical learning. Those who
have not consulted DIR. Ham should GER
tanly not fail to do so at the Wright
House, Friday, July IS, 1890 A con-
sultation will cost you nothing, and it
