Professional Men and Women of Loup City Our Doctors and Nurses Are at the Head of Their Profession There is no man who comes so near the heart and ilves of the people • as the dear old family doctor. He is in the home In the times when some loved one is hovering near the \ alley of the shadow of death, and when he brings them safely hack to the bright sunshine of life, he has DR. J. E. BOWMAN earned the eternal gratitude of the family. He hears all the troubles both great and small, and his ready sympathy never fails. The pioneer doctors of Sherman county have seen troublesome times. Rver ready and willing to go when tailed, it has been no small under taking to serve the people through * the early years. Dr. A. J.

Bowman began the prac tice of medicine in Loup City in 1912. While very new in our midst, they have proved their worth to the public. The people have learned to know that when they hear a buzz and see a streak, that is only Dr. J. E. in his jit ney on a hurry call. Dr. C. L. with her happy smiling face brings a breath of cheer to the sick room which goes a long way toward reach ing the end she wishes to attain. One of the noblest of callings is that of a physician. To alleviate the suffer ings of humanity, these people make many sacrifices for the good of man kind. Loup City certainly has a splendid corps of physicians, and we should take our hats off to them, and not forget that a kindly word of en couragement and appreciation will be welcomed by them. MRS. W. P. TAYLOR Mrs. W. P. Taylor is a graduate nurse and has been located here for five years. She has proved a valu able aid in many cases of sickness and accidents and is kept busy most all of the time. Mrs. Taylor gradu ated from the Omaha General Hos pital Training school for nurses in June. 1909 and spent one year as head nurse in the operating room at the Wise Memorial hospital in Oma ha.
