pERsOyAT, IN cHARAcTER.

The writer called on DR.. w. f. Blair.
who has recently opened office parlors at
702 Market street, at the intersection Of
Kearny, Geary. Market and Third streets,
for the purpose Of an interview.
The doctor especially requested that only
a personal mention be made of his coming
to this city. We ascertained, however, that
the doctor is a regular graduate OF one OF
the leading Eastern colleges, having devoted
more than the usual three years to the TOu-
tine Of medical study, and having spent sew
eral years in perfecting himself for the
special practice to which he expected to de-
vote his life at the different hospitals and in
| private practice in New FORK City.
He was interested in diseases Of the eye.
| ear, nose, throat and lungs. Especially was
| he interested in that most annoying and
| most prevalent Of all diseases usually termed
| chronic catarrh.
Competent authorities have computed that
! in the United States over 90 per cent OF the
| inhabitants are more or less troubled with
| catarrh In some Of its many forms. 1t IS
| impossible to estimate the vast number
| which suffer from other affections directly
| or indirectly resulting from it.
With the advance OF positive knowledge
| of scientific treatment for this disease, a
| special course Of instruction has been male
| necessary. There are many cases, no
| doubt. which are treated by the general
| practitioner, but there are many more cases
| that require the attention of the specialist,
| who of necessity is required to give years Of
| study to, and to keep in constant active
| practice in, this special branch 10 be able
| 10 afford satisfactory results IN treatment.
Under the treatment used by DR.. Blair
| during the past few years IN New \ Ork and
| other large Eastern cities over 100 coo pa
! tients have been treated. many Of whom
! are to-day voluntary witnesses to the eff
| cacy of this special treatment, and many Of
| them having experienced the benehcent
effects BY. what the dqct9r denominates
employed for some time past in fitting up
! Dr. Blair's offices at 702 Market street, at
| the intersection of Geary, Kearny, Third
| and Market His offices occupy the first
| floor Of the building mentioned. 1t should
| be said. by the way, that he has not come TO
! San Francisco for a temporary location.
| HIS location is permanent; all his leases,
| agreements and contracts are for year or
more. There is nothing Of the ltnerant in
| his practice, nor of the possibility that
! attaches itself to travelling practice The
| Offices which he has opened at 702 Market
| street are permanent oneS. DR.. Blair does
| not come to San Francisco as the pioneer of
| modern medical science, nor claiming to be
| the first TO introduce here the methods
| which it has developed; nor does he seek to
| depreeiate in any way the skill OF the gen.
tlemen of his own profession already To-
| Gated here; nor does he claim 10 work by
| magic. or to perform miracles. His treat
ment is thoroughly scientific His record
speaks for itself, and his training in the
special lines mentioned has certainly been
rare and complete.
