This is particularly exempliHed In this coun.
try by the position. skill and attainments Of

Never since the days OF Ricord. the great
French specialist. has any man carried on SO
tremendous q practice az Dr. Kane. He has.
without doubt the largest practice In diseases
OF the urinary and genito organs OF any physI-
clan IN the world to-day: seeing. with tho aid
OF his assistants. from sixty to ninety patients

To appreciate this enormous practice one
must recollect that 1t includes four times the

The day the reporter called at the doctors

DR.. Kane uses no choroform or ether In his
