Things Worth Knowing.


1t .hould be known that Drs. A. w.
and Mrs. A. w. Springs, operate the
hospital of Dewmate. Another thing
that Is worth knowing is, that certain
brother Jas. A. Clayborn was just Oh
the sve of going to horpital in St. Louis
Mo-, to have an operation performed.
as he had been told by certain white
doctor in near by town that the knife
was the only remedy and that he desir-
ed to be honest with him, that he like
many other doctors could treat him for
the money and at the same time know
he could not cure him. This doctor is
said to be splendid physician, honest
too, but mistaken in the case. How
ever, Bro. Claborn, was advised by a
friend to go to DR.. Springs, the noted
colored physician, which he did. The
DIR. made an examination and informed
the patient that he could not locate any
tumor, but case of congested bowels,
Strange as this may seem, in ten days
or rather in weeks time he was on
his road to recovery and now he is as
we'll as ever
So on your way to st. Louis, for sur
gical operation it will pay you to see
DR.. Springs. The writer thinks these
things are worth knowing.
