Burrows Where They will Oper- ate a Medical Clinic, It has been rumoured and is now confirmed that Dr. E. A, McMaster an.c1 Dr. J. D. Colquhotin will operate a medical clinic at the town of Sea- farth which will be 'known as the 'Seaforth Clinic". Dlr. McMaster is well known locally .but Dr. Colquthoun is a stranger to most of es, conning from 'the Maritimes and having had a very successful career. 'For the pur- pose of the clinic, the spacious resi- dence .and surgery af DT. Burrows on Goderich street has been purchased. The operation of a clinic should be a real 'boon to the town and surround- ing country as it represents a deter- mined effort to make more efficient the treatment of disease and ether human ailments. Combining the knowledge of two or more physiciane it provides consultations as a matter of comee for each patient and allows the inetallation of the most modern equipment and the latest and beet treatment to be .given. Specialization increases skill which advantage ac- crues to the patient. In the operation of the clinic each physician retains his own patients an.d makes his regular calls and visits, bet has the advantage of the facilities which the clinic provides for special treatment where such 'becomes neces- sary. In the clinic each physician is re- quired to spend considerable time each year improving his methods by a course of study ancl training in the more advanced hospitals of Canada and the United States. Dr. McMaster has intimated that this course will be followed in the Seaforth Clinic. Seaforth may congratulate itself on the enterprise of 'Dr. McMaster and his colleague, Dr. Colquhoun.
