INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: ? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking. ? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you. Portrait of: STEPHEN PURNELL DENNIS, M.D. , of Salisbury, Wicomico County, Maryland , born October 13, 1827 , near Pittsville in the same county. On his return to Salisbury he was able to resume the practice of his profession . He devoted himself principally to surgical and kindred cases, his favorite branches . From that time he confined himself mainly to town and office practice, except when summoned to perform special operations and for consultation. Again, with the true spirit of a seeker after knowledge, Dr. Dennis spent the time from October, 1872, until May, 1873 , in New York , giving special attention to operative surgery, gynecology, physical diagnosis, and diseases of the eye and ear, under such distinguished professors as Drs. Mott, Flint, Thomas, Sims, Emmett, Peaslee, and others . Again returning to his home in Salisbury, he has continued until the present time, entirely devoted to his work. There are few members of his profession who have a wider or more deserved reputation for skill, kindness, and every trait that goes to make up the character of a good physician and surgeon than has Dr. Dennis. He has successfully performed several critical and delicate operations in lithotomy, in ligation of the common carotid artery, many difficult amputations, etc. Print Specifics: Type of print: Intaglio, steel and stipple engraving - Superb quality original antique print.
