	WORTON DAVIS, a prominent physician of Spokane, was born in Ontario, Canada,
in 1861, a son of A.J. and Louisa A. (Norton) Davis, natives respectively of
Canada and New York. They still reside in Canada, and the father is a farmer by
occupation.
	W.N. Davis, the third in a family of four children, was educated in the high
school of his native place. He afterward began the study of medicine at Ann
Arbor, Michigan, where he attended two courses, passed the examination, but, on
account of not having reached his twenty-first year, could not secure a diploma.
In 1881 he graduated at a homeopathic college in Chicago, after which he
practiced medicine in Beloit, Wisconsin, eighteen months. Mr. Davis next went to
Canada to complete his studies, and in 1884 graduated at the College of
Physicians and Surgeons at Toronto. He then practiced in Los Angeles,
California, five years; thence removed to Seattle, where he was burned out; and
in 1889 came to Spokane. A few weeks after locating here he suffered the loss of
nearly his entire possessions in the great fire. Mr. Davis has a large and
lucrative practice, which is still rapidly increasing, and he is making a
specialty of chronic diseases. He does an exclusively office practice.
