from year to year until now It is the
largest institution in the State. The
patients have increased in number
from the original twenty to above
eight hundred. A great part Of all this
is due to the constant energy and Of
forts OF DR.. Waughop. whose one wish
and aim was the proper and humane
care of the insane. 1t might be well
said that this was his life's work, and
he was particularly suited for II. He
was kind and considerable at all times.
and thus commanded the respect both
of employe and patient. One OF the
strongest features of his personnel
was his honor and integrity, which
were present upon all occasions.
He would carry out to the letter
what he considered to be right and
proper, without fear or favor. At the
same time he was always ready and
willing to listen TO reason, providing 1t
was based upon facts. His motto was
the golden rule, and his instructions to
employees was, simply, Treat the pa
tients under your care in the same
manner you would like to be treated
by them.
The esteem In which he was held by
the inmates under his charge Is illus
trated by the fact that not infrequently,
after having been discharged, they
would keep in touch with him by let.
tiers, and after a time would return to
visit him, asking to be taken back
either as a patient or employee. Since
his death a number of letters of con.
dolence and tokens of respect have
come to the family from old patients.
expressing regret that they could not
lhave seen him again, and extending
sympathy to the bereaved wife and
SON."
DR.. Waughop helped to organize in
his own house medical society which
became the State Medical Society, OF
which he was the eighth president.
His interest In trichinosis and allied
diseases, prompted him to deliver a
series of lectures upon the subject be.
fore the Academy OF Sciences.
To show what contact with disease
he had, IL Is only necessary to state
that during his practice he admins.
tered chloroform 10000 times. But
with all his intellectual qualities, the
best of DR.. Waughop, as 1t ought to he
of any man, was his character. He
was sincere, honest and honorable.
His honor was not of the French type
which returns an injury; II gave good
for evil. He was kind, His manly per.
hn1 - tt l..
Gods best gift to a physician. His
eyes answered any appeal, and his
voice expressed his attitude toward
the humanity he had worked so long
to uplift..
While it was not my privilege to be
intimate with DR.. Waughop, have
been with him somewhat in the round
of his duties, and was called to his
bedside in his last Illness. The same
gentle, kindly, pervasive spirit was
with him, and will live after him now
that he has gone to better rewards.
