(pages 59-60)

J. A. Bundy M. D., of this city, is a physcian and surgeon of the regular school and has a natural skill and adaptability for his chosen profession. We were much impressed with the profundity of his knowledge and the extent of his observation in his professional life.

Dr. Bundy is a man who inspires the confidence of his patients. Although young in his profession he has reached that welcome confidence and affection that all doctors know is the key note to the success of the family physician. The doctor is recognized by all as a professional man of great promise. With his kindly disposition, he easily wins his way into the hearts of the people. His sympathies are easily awakened by the appeals of distress. He is a man who stands high in his community both professionally and socially.

[For] four years Dr. Bundy has been a student in the University Medical College of Allopathy, taking his degree in May, 1906.

For a year and a half he did hospital work in one of the largest hospitals in Kansas City, working with such surgeons as Perkins, James, Hill, Foster and Cordier. The last year of his hospital work he had the distinction of being chief of the house staff at the University Hospital.

He had charge of 700 patients, almost half of them being cases of surgery, and the others of severe and advanced diseases of all kinds except contagious.

In his hospital experience and training he has met with the newest and most advanced discoveries in medical science and has put to practical use these methods and remedies.

Dr. Bundy is located in Hill City and lives in his new and modern home on Capitol Hill. For a time he will have his office in connection with his home and can be reached by telephone 155.

Dr. Bundy was born in Grant county, Illinois in 1878 and moved to Kansas in 1886 with his parents who still reside on the old homestead six miles southeast of Hill City.

After finishing the common schools of the county, Dr. Bundy taught five years and began his professional studies in 1902. He was married in Kansas City, in June, 1906.

Mrs. Bundy has had special training in the hospital as a trained nurse.
