Whatever rank the physician may
have among intellectual lights he is GER
tainly the most Indispensable of all pro
fessional men. The statesman invents
all sorts of schemes to project our per-
sons and our property; the poet studies
to delight us; the astronomer discovers
new worlds. but do any of them benefit
the people as much as the physician? The
history OF medicine shows it to have
been more conSpicuously progressive than
any other profession. Among the physi-
clans of North Carolina none are better
known or enjoy Il wider reputation than
the eminent gentleman whose name cap
tons this article. Fully abreast in the
forward march of his profession he dis
plays a due appreciation of ali its re-
sources for the relief OF human suffering
His love and devotion to his fellowmen
has been attested by his services in be-

Early in life he resolved to become
a physician, and began the study of
medicine in the fall Of 1857 at the Jeffer-

that institution in the spring of 1889.
THE Doctor at once entered into the

of the writer than that of presenting to
the world the character and personnel
of the leaders of thought and action ana

heralds of the broad progress that marks
American trade. For broad grasp and
executive ability, for leadership. men
moving upon the stage of active busy
life have proven their superiority in the
public estimation, not only in business
pursuits, but to grapple with and man

true ability, more craftsmanship, il one
may call it in the practical solution OF
commercial problems and the applica-
