"We like to travel" said Tom to a

nature, you see. We like the woods
and plains, but we also like to see
what the white man is doing in the

he is going to do next, He has heap

DR.. BYRON ROBINSONS TRIBUTE
TO LATE JOHN PHILLIPS, M. D.
Brief Sketch of His Life and Works--Was we'll
Known Throughout Wisconsin and
Illinois.

Dr.. John Phillips is dead. The
bravest philosopher is silent in the
presence of death, My good and great
friend, for a score of years, is no more.
DR.. Phillips, the man of vigorous
physique, the man of great earnest
purposes, the dignifed gentleman,
the fellow of good cheer, has passed
from our midst.
None can Stapd unmoven in the
presence of death. The simple faith
of savage solves the mystery of life
and death as effectuaily as the wisdom
of sage. The, veil that medical
science cannot lift, has fallen between
the living and the dead. My loyal
friend having reached his journeys
end, with fullness of years and honors,
bids farewell to all the scenes of earth.
DR.. Phillips was hopeful man He
encouraged youth to believe that life
was an endless possibility. His quiet
enthusiasm fired ambition in the
young to overcome all obstacles. DR..
Phillips had the genius of friendship
and fatherly kindness. 1t was a
principle with him to speak we'll of his
colleagues. The doctor was man of
rare Judgement; he was what we call
level headed. He was practical; he
attempted first to discover what was
the matter with his patient, after
which he stuck to treatment stole
ally. In the face of incurab BILE disease
his courage did not lay but sought and
studied means to stay the malady,
prolong life and make the patient
comfortable.
DR.. Phillips colleagues remember
we'll the tenacious medical views he
held and practiced for almost fifty
years. One of these was bleeding"
for pneumonia, disease which for it's
fatal march might be called the.prince
of the captains of death. His methods
and success in bleeding in pneumonia
have been widely published and many
noted teachers have adopted his views
in selected cases.
DR.. Phillips graduated at Rush
Medical college n 1919, when il was
under the presidency of it's founder,
the celebrated DR.. Brainard, who was
considered the brainiest of Chicago
surgeons. Prof. Brainard's influence
was all powerful over DR.. Phillips for
half a century; IN fact the doctor
never tired to relate with delight
and enthusiasm the grand principles
and practices of this quiet, able and
Skilful physician.
Sketch OF His Life.
DR.. Phillips was born at Richmond,
Vermont, Nov. 4, 1923, He removed
to Wisconsin in 1916, and to Stevens

practiced until death.
