Muscatine.
The poor of the city Of Muscatins
will receive medical attention free OF
charge as result Of the generous
offer made by DIR. w. S. Norton. county
physician, to the Muscatine Welfare
Association. At the meeting of the
executive committee of that body held
last evening the philanthropic offer on
the part OF the local practitioner was
made known and 1t was received with
qualification by charity workers. DR..
Norton has offered to conduct FREQ
clinic on three days OF each week for
the benefit OF Muscatine's poor. These
clinics will be held between the hours
of and 10 on Monday. Wednesday and
Friday mornings and all patients
recommended by the Welfare Assocla-
ton may avail themselves of the ops
portunity to secure free medical aid.
Officers of the society were pleased
with the offer made by tho well-known
local physician in that frequently
proper medical attention will greatly
improve not only the health OF the
patient but will thru tho return to
health Of the bread winner of n family
make that family independent rather
than dependent. I'VE hope that other
physicians will follow the action OF
Dr. Norton for medical care is often
need among the poor. 1t may be
means of putting many unfortunates
back on their feet and enable them
to be valuable members of society
again." declared one officer.
