AN INTERESTING PLACE.

| One of the most interesting places one
can visit in this city is the office of DR..
| Terrill, on the second floor of the GAN
dolfo building, commanding fine view of
! that busy scene, the corner of First and
| Main streets. Usually doctors Office is
| place to be avoided; but in this case, it
| would almost be a pleasure to be sick in
order to revel in the beauties of this model
Office, which is nearly as interesting as a
museum. In fact. 1t is q museum, in one
respect at least; for it contains more novel
appliances than can be found in any ply
! sican's Office on earth in city the size of

of some princely bachelor with a
fortune and a determination to

| rooms is covered with the finest Brussels
| carpet so that when one steps OH it his
foot sinks into the texture so that he feels
As If the world was slipping from beneath
his feet. The furniture is elaborate, and
consists OF costly sofas. lounges, up
hoistered chairs, while costly rugs are
strewn about promiscuously. The finest
OF lace curtains impede the force of the
| rays of old Sol and throw a mellow
light all round the rooms that gives
one a pleasant dreamy feeling and
longing TO be rich in order
to enjoy such luxuries. Well, the doctor
deserves his princely surroundings, for no
one should begrudge genius its reward
he has studied hard in his profession in
order to be able TO relieve suffering hu-

from New York where he has been for the
past SIX weeks taking private instruc
actions IN electricity and chronic diseases
Usually it is customary for doctors en-
ploylng electricity in their profession to
take lessons once in every three years; but
the science of electricity is so progressive
in its relation to humane ills that Dr.
Terrill, in order to keep in the front rank,
deems it necessary TO get lectures twice Il
year so that 10 new discovery may escape
him. His instructor this time was the
world renowned Professor A. ID. Rockwell
one of, If not entirely the brightest cleo

he brought with him the latest improved

and it IS interesting and at the same time
convincing to hear him illustrate their !
capabilities in the line of repairing the |
shattered health of his afflicted patrons, of |
whom he has many; for his fame AS Il |
healer is only bounded by the Gulf coast |
of Texas. In the doctors case the old say |

fully justified.
