Mrs. Verrinder, perhaps it is best

story of my rescue from the grave
might tittingly be prefaced by little
of my early history. We resided in

return to my profession in order to
live. l do not speak of it boastingly,
but stood we'll among the musicians
of that day in the old land. Ny fees
were guinea n lesson, and it was no
uncommon thing for me to give
twenty in day. We came to Amer
lea, landing in Quebec, where anti

organist in the cathedral, but was
disappointed. Subsequently we
moved to st. Catharines, in which
city / procured an organ and choir
and soon had large clientele. Lat
er, in order as thought to better my
fortune, took up my residence in
London, first filling an engagement
with Methodist church and after
wards accepting the position of or
ganist in St. Peters Cathedral. In
those cities I made many warm
friends, and their tributes and gifts
shall ever retain as among the most
precious of my possessions. 1t was
while living in London and pursuing
my art with much earnestness and
labor that l received stroke of par

ing to Chatham l had not long been
here when my health further began
to give way. Gradually I noted the
change. I felt it first in stomach
affection which produced constant
and distressing nausea. 1t grew
worse and worse, l myself attributed
it to bad water poisoning my system.
One doctor said it was catarrh of the
stomach. Another pronounced it di-

after another, but it was no use.
Grippe attacked me and added to my
pain, discomfort and weakness. At

that was never going to get well.
Nothing of nourishing nature
would remain on my stomach. No
drugs seemed to have a counter-act-
ing influence on the disease which
was dragging me down to death.
NY wife would sit at my bedside and
moisten my lips with diluted spirits
which was all that could be done to
relieve me. Besides three local doc
tors who gave me up, l had doctors
from London and Kingston whose
skill believe in and to whom paid
heavy fees, but without receiving
any help or encouragement. 1t is
true that stomach pump operation
