reputation as pfacticing physicians. IL
might not be judicious TO undertake the
medical school again, but Dr..
W. f. Anderson, approaching the
needs Of this people f1r local -anato-
rum, will again open the doors To the
one he inaugurated at the Farmyille
Lithia, on last season. The place is
admirably adapted to such use, the wa
ter, the friend Of all sick persons, and
the buildings comfortable though M
time, we trust, will be greatly added
to. and made models Of their kind.
Dr. Anderson is too well known TO
the people Of all this section as ply
stefan and surgeon TO require introduce
ton a. such at our hands. I'm times Of
war and Of peace he has exhibited his
accomplishments in the profession Of
his love and his choice, and knowing
full well the requirements Of well-ap-
pointed home for the sick and suffer
ing will see that such are provided.
He will not leave the work Of treat
ment 10 Others but will be in constant
touch Of 1T and i'm daily attendance.
He is fortunate to have secured the
services Of Mrs. Fannie b. Humphreys,
who will be in active and constant
charge Of the institution, which means
that the inmates will receive attention
efficient aud loving, thoughtful and
skillful Mrs Humphreys graduated
from two Of the best schools Of the
country, has enjoyed years Of eXpe-
rience in hospitals and homes, and is
today thoroughly well equipped for the
delicate and difficult work to which
she has given her life.
Our suffering ones need not longer
20 to the bigger cities in search of
skillful treatment and trained nursing.
Farmville will give them these things
in fullest and finest manner, and al
the same time they Will remain ever
right at home. Persons who desire TO
know more fully of the plans and pur-
poses with which this home for suffer
ing humanity has been opesed, would
do well to see Dr. Anderson in person
or communicate with him by letter.
