In the 37 years of his practice he has gained wide experience in men and their ills. His promptness in giving the best advice and treatment of which he is capable to rich and poor alike is part of his strong, humanitarian spirit.
Doctor Calkins is chief of the surgical staff of Good Samaritan Hos- pital, and of Mercy Hospital. By no means the least of his claims to praise is his faculty for entering into the general community life in spite
