E. T. HUTCHINSON, dentist, Bloomington; before engaging in any profession, it would be well for any person to study his adaptability for that profession; this seems to have been the case with Dr. E. T. Hutchinson, whose natural talent in the profession of dentistry has been well proven by his success; he is a native of Christian Co., Ky.; was born April 9, 1845, and began the study of dentistry in 1868, graduating at the Pennsylvania Dental College of Philadelphia in 1871; after graduating, he returned to Bloomington, where he has been a resident since 1857, and began the practice of his profession; his office and residence is located corner Center and Grove streets, being what is known as the Hutchinson Block, which he erected in 1876, with special reference to the dental business; here, by his own design, he has elegantly furnished reception and operating rooms, paying special attention to having his operating room well lighted by large, French plate-glass windows, thus enabling him, with the help of the finest-improved make of dental instruments, to do fine and lasting work while operating, he having spent much time in the study and practice of this part of his profession; of his success and ability in this part of the science, there is abundant proof among the first families of the city.
