the medical field of the Sacramento valley one of the most conspicuous
physicians is Dr. John Henderson Alexander, who is specializing in the
treatment of diseases of eye, ear, nose and throat at Chico, California. The large clientage which he now enjoys is
indicative of the success of the practice of his profession, and the
recognition of his ability which has been given him by the public.

the best equipped in northern California.
