COLORADO SPRINGS. COL,
July ga Virginian chasing
the cure" in the West runs across
many natives of the OLD pomin-
ion. Fer the benefit OF those not
familiar with the term, it may De
said that chasing the cure,
which is a very common phrase
in the Rocky Mountain region,
means seeking a restoration to
health by consumptives. or the
scores of Virginians now residing
in the States of Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona and Texas, prac-
tically every one came out
West" on account of his own Ill
health or because of the i'll health
of some member of his family.
An ex-Virginian who is now a
distinguished resident of Colo
RADIO springs is DR.. Bosnian p.
Anderson, who was born IN Abe
marie county, but later moved TO
Richmond. DIR. Anderson has
lived in Colorado about fortytwo
years-since 1869, to be exact.
Like DIR. Trudeau, who went to
the Adirondacks several years
later, DR.. Anderson came to Colo j.
RADIO to cure himself OF consump-
ton or-to die. He didn't die.
At 65 he is hale and hearty
and as fine a specimen of mid
die aged physical manhood as enc
would wish to see. DIR. Anderson was
a member of Mosby's command. The
close friendship between him and Col
onel Mosby formed during the Civil
war has continued throughout the
peaceful years that have followed.
THE great Confederate Guerilla, who has
Just been deposed as special attarney
IN the Department of Justice at Wash
;Egton, has visited him at his home
in Colorado Springs several times.
Another warm friend of DR.. Anderson
curing and after the war was the
late Senator Daniel. 1t was mainly
through the instrumentality of Or.
Anderson that the monument to Col
onel Mosby at Front Royal waScom-
pleted. Before the shaft was finished
ell funds that had been raised for the
rurpose were exhausted and DIR.
Anderson made, up the deficiency
from his OWE pocket.
Notwithstanding forty years abb
sence from his native State, he is
still typiep virginian Of the old
school. Dr.! Anderson has been chief
physician of the Colorado Deaf and
Blind Institution for thirty-eight
years. He was chief surgeon of the
Colorado Midland Railway twenty
five years. For a quarter of cen
tury he has enjoyed large and lucra-
tive practice in Colorado Springs and
has been identified actively with
many public spirited and philanthropy
ic movements
