        JAMES EARL MARSHALL, M. D. After many years of earnest and hard-working 
experience as a general physician, Doctor Marshall began specializing in the 
field where his talents fitted him for unusual success, and both before coming 
to Miami, and since has been widely known as a specialist in electro-therapy
and sigmoidoscopy.
	Doctor Marshall was born in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, in 1863, and 
as a youth went west to Kansas City, where he studied medicine in the Kansas 
City Medical College, graduating in 1888. Doctor Marshall began practice as a 
physician and surgeon in Kansas City, was established for four years in Salt 
Lake City, and also practiced at Joplin, Missouri, and Pueblo, Colorado. It was 
in Pueblo in 1902, after fourteen years of experience as general practitioner 
that he began specializing in the treatment of the colon and his subsequent 
studies and his work have been largely confined to that portion of the anatomy 
and the diseases and conditions closely related thereto. The general subject of 
electro-therapy has been of great advantage to him in this line, and he
emphasizes its specialty, sigmoidoscopy, and treating the rectal diseases. He 
has also extended his studies in practice to neurology and proctology.
	Many learned writers on medicine and surgery have contended that a long
and thorough experience in general practice should precede specialization, and
this has been the course followed by Doctor Marshall who brings to his work the
knowledge and viewpoint of the general practitioner. Doctor Marshall has
attended numerous clinics, and has taken many post graduate courses in New
York, Chicago, and other cities. He attended the New York Post Graduate Medical
College and the New York Polyclinic, studying under Dr. W. GILL WYLIE in the
New York Post Graduate and under Dr. JOHN A. WYETH in the New York Polyclinic.
Other scientists of almost equal fame under whom he has studied or with whom he
has been associated were Dr. WILLIAM R. PRYOR and Dr. JAMES P. TUTTLE of New
York, Dr. JOHN B. MURPHY and Dr. A. J. OCHSNER of Chicago, Mayo Brothers of
Rochester, Minnesota, and Dr. J. H. KELLOGG of Battle Creek. After leaving
Pueblo Doctor Marshall removed to Chicago, and was engaged in practice there
until he came to Miami Beach early in 1918. During the past four years he has
become thoroughly established in his chosen work in this world famous winter
resort. To supplement his large personal practice Doctor Marshall has been
planning for some time the establishment of a modern sanitarium at Miami Beach,
something on the order of the noted Battle Creek Sanitarium.
	Doctor Marshall married at Kansas City, Miss BELLE MILLS, who was born
at the old town of Westport, a town before Kansas City, in which it is now
incorporated, was thought of.
