sicians" resolutions expressive Of their ap-
DR.. John Dawson, of this city, recently de-
ceased, and their sorrow at his sudden and
unexpected departure from our midst, beg
leave to make the following report:
WHEREAS, We the Physicians OF this
city, having learned with profound regret
Ofthe untimely and unexpected demise of
our lamented friend and brother, DR.. John

appreciation of the virtues OF deceased,
as a scholar, physician and citizen, in all
which relations he sustained an enviable
character and weh earned reputation.
Having resided in this city since 1S5fand
known to the profession generally for the
last fourth Of a century as an able, accu-
rate and vigorous writer, he was regarded
as a man OF no ordinary mind, and Of Just
claims to eminence and distinction in his
profession. ....L...r IN
Persevering, patient and of indomitable
energy in his studies, with mind well at
tuned to philosophic thought and system
attic observation, he at length reached po-
sitiOn of which he might well be proud,
and from whose heights he might look
down the rugged steps he had climbed so
successfully, and review with satisfaction
the difficulties he had encountered. the toiIs
endured and obstacles surmounted, though
little dreaming that his labors were SO soon
TO close on earth forever. '
AS physician, he always enjoyed large
and lucrative practice, whilst his ample eX-
perience and sound judgment, in any of
the departments of his profession, won for
him the esteem and confidence of all who
sought his counsel or received his miDistra-
tons. Prompt to obey call he was ever
ready to dispense the blessings of his art,
wherevar the cries of sickness and sorrow
or the pangs of distress called for its illu-
mina5ihg influence. His was the alacrity
of feeling, to "soothe the afflicted spirit and
bind up the broken heart" "a 81
AS a citizen, husband, father or friend, he
possessed those virtues, which ennOble hui
man life or impart dignity to human actions,
and in each of these varied relations his
loss will be keenly felt. ti.H'' .'.
, In view therefore of the just estimation
in which we hold the memory of our la
mented and deceased brother, and our deep
sympathy with his bereaved family and the
stricken community of which he was an
honored part; therefore,
RESOLVED, That in the death of DIR, John
Dawson we deeply mourn the loss of an
eminent scholar, teacher and physician,
and the community jealous, valued and
active member. ........
ReSOlUed, That we herewith tender the
familyof the deceased our united and sim
cere sympathy and coincidence, in this af-
flictiye dispensation of Providence; and in
this their hour of anguish and bereave-
ment, of devoted husband and kind and in
dulgent parent. we commend them to the
care and mercies of that Being who hath
promised to be 50 father to the fatherless
and friend to the widow" and who hath
appointed "unto all men once to die" r
