        PHILIP P. SHORTS, M.D., one of the leading physicians at
     Ludington, was born in Canada, in 1846.  At an early age he
     made choice of the medical profession, and entered the office
     of a noted physician and surgeon at Belleville, Canada, and
     subsequently studied at the Toronto Medical College.  Deciding
     to locate in the States, he went to New York, and after gradu-
     ating at Bellevue Hospital, began practice in Flint, Mich. 
     After remaining there a short time, he came to Ludington, 
     where he has since remained and built up a very extensive
     practice.
