cd TO remove from our midst our friend

prevented him. Despatch was not only
the word, but the act. Quick to decide,

90, prescribe, aud possibly be half way
back, before many tardy practitioner
would be well ON the way. He accom-
plished a great deal in short time. De
| lay or inatteution, was never laid to hi
charge. The summons TO the bedside o
| the poor was obeyed with as much alac
rity, as that to those more favored Of for
tune, and their grateful tears bedew hi
/ memory.
Though his feldof labor was wide an,
rough, he never hesitated. His habit wa
energy, and SO it continued to be, unit
his bodily infrmities began to bear upol
him. In these respects his example
valuable and instructive. Let his junior
and survivors in the profession, follow hi
example.
