and at the close OF the book of DR.
Charles n. Dorion's life wrote the one
word-"Finis." The announcement of
his death will shock the entire COM
munity. DR.. L. E. Penny. who has been
associated with the deceased for the

ing August last. as will be remembered
by GLOBE readers, DR.. Dorion sustained
sunstrOke about noon OH very warm
day. To man of his advanced

great vitality in getting about again.
within month. This sunstroke, how
ever, left its deadly effect. and was the
beginning of the end. In his enfeebfed
state-and man no longer young he
fell all easy victim to the grippe, which
attac ked HIM in November, 1893. He
partly recovered from this. Ever ready
to respond to the call of suffering hu-
manity, ne answered summons TO pro-
fessional duty on the night of Dec. Ii
last. 1t was bitter night, and though
his ride was short one-to the Aber
deen-it was sufficient to give him
very severe cold. He rapidly relapsed
into his former illness, ana from this lie
never recovered. At times he was
great sufferer, and all that the advice of
consulting brother physicians of his
school-homeopathy-could suggest for
his relief was done. Ever since his last
illness DR.. Penny has remained at his
residence almost constantly, and his
efforts have been ably assisted by Mrs.
Penny and Mrs. Dorion. At $50 Sun

teen and two little daughters much
younger.
