easy terms, but he may be in bad hu-

a notice to the miners and the Mont

would return and serve the people
again as their physician next Febru-

friends at that place for the compli-
ment they passed on him, and thanked
them one and all for their endorsement
of him as the doctor at Montlake for
the year 1919, and will be on hand
about February I.
