DR. McCAW RETIRES.
Abandons Practice of Medicine After Fifty Years of Active Service.

Dr. J. B. McCaw, one of the most prominent physicians of the city, retired yesterday from the practice of medicine, having been actively engaged for more than fifty years.

The following is Dr. McCaw’s announcement: Dr. J. B McCaw having arrived at years of discretion and remembering that he has been a doctor of medicine for fifty-seven years, announces to the public that he goes on the retired list on and after this date. He would be ungrateful if he did not take this opportunity to return thanks to the good people of this community, who have shown their confidence in him and his forefathers, for four generations, from 1786 to 1901.

To his dear old friends and patients, who still live, he can only say that his good wishes, his best advice and his tenderest sympathy will be at their service as long as life lasts.
