Dr. DeLoss is a woman of no ordinary character. Early in life she evinced the possession of peculiar powers of mind. She received a thorough mental training, and at an age when many girls are in the school-room she began lecturing on phrenology and physiognomy. She possessed an accurate knowledge of those subjects and a fine command of language, delivering her views in an easy and interesting manner that delighted her audiences. She continued in the lecture field many years, and at the same time devoted her leisure to studying medicine, and entered upon its practice after attending several courses of medical lectures.

The Doctor possesses in a wonderful degree the occult power of diagnosis by that peculiar natural endowment of mental vision. After diagnosis her treatment of disease is on the regular plan of physicians. Her success has been very marked, even in the most difficult cases, and patrons come to her from every part of the United States. At forty-seven years of age her practice is well established and constantly growing, while she holds an assured place in the medical world.

The Doctor is a very intelligent and pleasant woman, and an interesting conversationalist, and has many warm friends and admirers. She is building a residence and infirmary in this city, at No. 217 Fifth Street, that will be perfect in its appointments and adaptation to her profession. She is making a specialty of the treatment of hydrophobia, has made a careful study of that terrible disease, and is now prepared to cope with it in its most dreadful form. She also makes a specialty of consumption, having cured cases where half the lungs were gone. She removes cancers and tumors without using a knife, and now has over one thousand patients in different parts of the United States. Her portrait, presented on another page, will be welcomed by the many friends she has won, both professionally and socially.
