The profession of medicine is one of the noblest as well as most important callings in existence, as a man who adopts it must be at once classical, of sound judgment, untiring energy, a kind philanthropist and an indefatigable worker. Day and night he must be ready to respond to the calls of the sick and distressed, and his reward is not always money, but his work of silent charity lends an additional charm to a profession that cares for the whole human race. One of the scholarly representatives of the medical profession of Norton is Dr. Haworth. Graduating at the regular school of medicine in 1895, he came to Kansas and located at Norton three years ago, and enjoys a successful practice. Dr. Haworth is a splendid type of the able practitioner, fully abreast of his profession as to the latest discoveries and scientific methods that in any way enhance the efficiency of practice.
