| IN inc EutuIO
DR.. John S. Winter, an old school
! mate of DR.. F. w. Huddleston, has
come to Liberal to make his homo,
and has purchased an interest in the
Liberal Hospital. He will be asso-
+ ciated with DR.. Huddleston in the
practice Of medicine and surgery and
assist in the management of the in
stitution.
Dr. Winter will be a valuable adj
dition to the professional circles of
Liberal, as he has had. wide exper-
ience both as a physician and sur
geon.
In 1908 he went from Louisville,
Kentucky, to Memphis, Tennessee,
where he spent fourteen years. Ten
years were spent in surgical practice
exclusively, and during this time, he
had access to fifteen hundred beds
in the different hospitals of Mem
phis.
In 1918 and 1914 he taught ply
siology in the medical college at
!. Memphis. When this institution was
t merged with the University of Ten
nessee, he was selected as senior
demonstrator in operative surgery,
$ holding this position three years,
r when he was elevated to the position
e of professor of operative surgery,
remaining in this position two years.
q He was also on the medical and
} surgical staff of the St. Joseph hos
k pital at Memphis from 1914 to 1921.
+. This is a $50 bed hospital and until
recently the largest in that city.
His ability has been abundantly
c recognized by members of his pro-
fession, and he was prominent in the
affairs of several medical associa-
a tions. among these being the Tennes-
+ see State Medical Society, the Shelby
/ County Medical Society, the Tri-
State Medical Society, American
g Medical Society and the Mississippi
y Valley Medical Society. In Memphis
X he was recognized by the business
:" organizations Of the city and was a
70 70 member of the Memphis Chamber Of
20 Commerce for ten years ,a
IL A few weeks ago DR.. Winter came
III to Liberal to visit DR.. Huddleston,
'e and he became so impressed with the
~ city and country that he expressed
e desire to live here. DR.. Huddle-
Sd ston has not been we'll for sometime,
s' being a sufferer from rheumatism,
which for weeks at time keeps him
away from his practice. Having
known DR.. Winter all these years,
and being familiar with his record,
of it was not long until arrangements
nc had been made whereby the Doctor
IN was taken as a partner in the hos
e. pital
r. DR. Huddleston is unstinted in his
Mn recommendation of DR.. Winter, and
8 feels fortunate in securing so able
e man as an associate. The condi-
. tion of his health has been such that
. he has needed assistance that he
I. might take time to recuperate
e The Liberal Hospital is one of the
e oldest institutions in Liberal, and
8 also one Of the foremost. Starting
s. years ago in Liberal in modest
+. way, the institution has grown, de-
& serting several buildings for larger
e ones, until at last the beautiful and
3 commodious hospital building was
q erected. 1t was thought at that time
g that the building would be ample for
3 Liberal for years to come, but al
= ready at times it is crowded to ca
q pacity.
8 With Dr.. Huddleston, DR.. Thos. A.
= Jones founded the Liberal Hospital.
8 DR.. Jones has since passed away,
q leaving the entire burden to DR..
g Huddleston. He has stood up under
8 the load of responsibility remarka-
3 bly, well, but for sometime his friends
3 have known that no man could long
f. stand up under the load that he has
q carried.
The Democrat welcomes DR.. Win
= ter to the city and expresses the hope
= that he may find life in Liberal up
q to his fondest expectations, and that
& his success may be that which his
