FOUND DEAD AT HIS BENCH.
Gentle Old Man Who Ran a Doll Hos
pitaI in New York.

Scores OF women in this country,
particularly in New York city, will
read with profound regret that
Uncle" John Lamb, the doll doctor, is
dead For sixty years this gentle soul
had given consolation to little girls by
repairing the fractured limbs Of
fayorite dolls, regluing the hair or re
stulfing the limp bodies with sawdust.
Almost half century ago his doll
hospital was known all over New York
city. He bore a genuine love for his
little patrons, and was happiest when
surrounded by group Of them, listen
ing to their sorrows, but always send
ing them away bUoyant and laughing.
Uncle John lived at 759 Sixth avenue.
He came to New York fran Ireland in
1910 and started doll hospital at
Madison avenue and Sixty-third street
While there he mended the wax babies
