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. Kearns is our oldest doc
tor, now. and lie came here in the
latter 80's. He knows the trials of
the country doctor. He knows what
it meant to travel this country over.
Ions before the time of telephones
and automobiles.
He was ever ready and willing to

go when needed, and he endeared him
self to the people for his ready sym
pathy and kindness, and when times
were hard as they often were in those
days, he shared them with his peo
ple.

With the full assurance of duties

Dr. Main, too was here before the
automobile made its advent in the
OR. O. E. LONGACRE
v.est. and has came to be quite wide
ly known. And now since lie lias ac
quired a Ford, he loat hes his patients
quickly, hands out his pills and pow
ders. and gets back to town in less
time than it would have taken some
one to come for him a few years later.
Dr. O. E. Longaere came to Loup
City in 1907, having bought the prac
tice of I)r. J. H. Long. He is noted
for giving the bitterest doses any
patient ever took. It is hinted that
he never takes his own medicine,
which no doubt is the way of all doc
tors. He spent some time in the Phili
pine Islands, and knows something of
the stern realities of life as lived in
the tropical climate.
MRS. W. P. TAYLOR
The Drs. 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

pital Training school for nurses in

head nurse in the operating room at
the Wise Memorial hospital in Oma
