Dr. Torkelson To Be Associated With Dr. Walter E. Reckling

Dr. O.E. Torkelson, a graduate of Rush Medical College of Chicago, and for the last four years assistant to Dr. N.E. Murad of Casper, arrived in Lusk this weekend and has taken up his practice here in partnership with Dr. W.E. Reckling of this city.

Dr. Torkelson comes to Lusk with a splendid reputation in his profession. Following his completion of the study of medicine and surgery at the Chicago school, which is highly rated in this country, he came west locating at Casper and working under Dr. Murad, well known to many Lusk and Niobrara county people.

A constantly growing practice of medicine and surgery has kept Dr. Reckling busy at all times, in many instances it being almost impossible for one man to care for the large number of patients. His association with Dr. Reckling will enable them to serve their patrons more efficiently in the future. Dr. Torkelson is married and they have a small son. Mrs. Torkelson will move to Lusk after March 1. 

Dr. Reckling is at this time somewhat incapacitated with an outbreak of boils on the left forearm. His partner is on the job at all times and will be glad to meet and and all whom might have occasion to need the services of a physician or surgeon.
