{{anchor:s27}}%%________________%%

{{anchor:s28}}.... THE JUVENILE HOUSE OF INDUSTRY of Brooklyn is under the care of DR. JOHN TURNER, a Homoeopathic physician. {{anchor:s29}}In his Annual Report he says that out of 245 children admitted daring the year, 197 have been under treatment. {{anchor:s30}}There have no deaths occurred, although there have been many serious cases. {{anchor:s31}}He attributes much of the sickness to the filthy condition of the children when admitted, and to the location of the Institution in a malarious district.

{{anchor:s32}}.... We have received from Mr. F. E. Boericke, Homoeopathic Pharmaceutist Philadelphia, a neatly printed card containing the names, address and office hours of the Homoeopathic physicians of that city: similar to the one published yearly in Now York and Brooklyn by Smith & Son.

{{anchor:s33}}We find the number in Philadelphia, as elsewhere, increasing, and so fast that Mr. Boericke has found it necessary, in meeting the wants of physicians, to open a new pharmacy in Spring Garden Street, still retaining his old stand in South Seventh Street.

{{anchor:s34}}.... Our readers will be pleased to learn that Dr. Caroll Dunham, of whose illness we spoke in a previous number, is so much better that he will shortly sail for the West Indies, where he intends spending the rest of the winter.

{{anchor:s35}}.... Dr. Thomas J. Pomeroy, formerly of Utica, has removed to Detroit, Mich. Dr. S. Bailey, of Watertown, has taken his practice in Utica.

{{anchor:s36}}.... Dr. B. C. Macy, for many years residing in Brooklyn, has lately settled at Dobbs Ferry, in this state: a change he was compelled to make on account of the ill-health of his wife.

{{anchor:s37}}.... Dr. Lewis Dodge has left Cleveland and is now located in Buffalo, N. Y

{{anchor:s38}}.... Dr. T. P. Knapp has removed from St. Andrews, N. Y., to St. Thomas, C. W.
