From the earliest pages of authentic history and even before that time, in the twilight of fable, the physician, the man who studied how to defeat disease, its destructive progress, or repair its ravages, has been held in high esteem as a benefactor to mankind.
A physician is a vital necessity, and his life and energies are wholly devoted to the service of his fellow men.
Such is the position of Dr. C. G. Clark, homopathic physician of Atlantic, where he has been in attention to a large and growing practice since 1905.
Dr. Clark was educated in Delaware and Carroll county, attending the public schools there for his scholastic training and prior to entering the University taught in the public schools for four years, thus giving him a training to be desired.
His professional studies were at the University of Iowa, where after his graduation he devoted two years to special training at the University hospital.
He commenced his practice by temporarily relieving a fellow practitioner at Red Oak, during the summer of 1905. In September of this year he came to Atlantic and has built up a thriving general practice, specializing in children's diseases.
Dr. Clark is a member of the A. O. U. W. and Yoemen. In 1907 near Wiota he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Thompson, who was well known in this vicinity, being a graduate nurse of the Atlantic hospital. One child, Paul, a hale, hearty and model specimen of childhood, has blessed this union.
