Show DR. J. ANDERSON LEFTJiR ARMY Dr. J. Anderson, one of the best known and ' most able and valuable physicians of Bingham, left this week for Fort Riley, where he will assume his duties as first lieutenant in the medical department of the Uni-1 ted States army. Dr. Anderson has practiced medicine medi-cine In Bingham for two years and i was Dr. Straup's asslntant at the Bingham hospital. Ho is a competent compet-ent and Bkillful physician and will be a valuable adjunct to the govemmtnt. He was very popular In Bingham and' his many friends here regretted to' see him leave. ! A reception waa given in his honor at the Bingham hospital Monday . night when he was presented with a beautiful wrist watch which was contributed con-tributed by tho help and nurses of , the hoepityil. iDr. Anderson is the second physician physi-cian from the Bingham hospital to enter tho service and now !lr. Straup is without an assistant. So the physicians phy-sicians are getting acarce in Bingham. The assistapts of Dr. Flynn and Dr. Ray have both entered the service as well as Dr. Hageman, who conducted his office alone. In this connection ! it might be well to mention the fat that the doctors who now remain In Bingham are pressed with work night and day in administering to the sick of the community. The people of, the camp should be considerate and in all cases where it I is possible should call at the office of their physician Instead of having him make a trip to their home. This will j make it possible for the doctors to j better care for their ' patients. The doctors who remain at home and care for the sick are now doing a great work for their country. |
