during the past summer.
"Of course doctor, you did not devote
all of your vacation abroad TO the common
recreation of the tourist ~
mo, sir, | did not" replied DIR. Strong
A radical change OF scene is best for one
who is practically prisoner in his oillcee
for eight or niue months in the year, but
could not deliberately pass the famous
medical and surgical institutions OF Eu,
rope, particularly those of England
and of France, without spending all the
time possible in association with the bright
est lights of the medical world, and in
studying the latest and most effective ap.
paratus and methods for the treatment OF
disease
In what countries did you spend the
greater part OF your time, and what nos
pitfalls did you visit Z"
"In England, France and Belgium was
conducted through the wards OF all hos
pitfalls visited, and | was accorded every
facility for the examination of rare cases OF
disease, witnessed some very exceptional
and difficult operations by the most cele-
brated surgeons of the Old World attend

fine outfit which so long attracted atten-
tion in his private office, they form "A col
lection that would do credit 10 the largest
hospitals. The doctors laboratory-as
large as those of the leading drug stores
dies known, and as he compounds the
medicines himself there is no danger from
IL mistaken prescription. All the drugs
and medicines not imported by the doctor
himself are supplied by the Providence
wholesale drug store of Blanding & Bland
ing.
Some Of the most prominent and highly
respected residents Of Providence and OF
neighboring cities have been successfully
treated by DR. Strong during the two
years Of his very honorable record in these
plantations. He is now in his third year
of practice here, and his professional and
private career is without blemish. More
than that, distasteful as is any notoriety
10 those who have suffered ill-health, the
sense of justice and the burden of the debt
of gratitude has led many of his patients
TO publicly testify, in the daily papers, tC
the complete success of his treatment. Tn,
doctor is permanently located in Provi
dence and certainly he is the most efficient
specialist the city ever had.-Providenc'
