Avenue. Bendiner & Schlesinger, has handed
me the following glowing
,r;+o.;os Tribute tribute to The Doctor,
to oar Friend, man much aDuseo'
Tho Doctor though more sought per
haps than any of
every mans acquaintance:
SIN the name of thousands of unbroken
homes in which midnight hand-to- hand nights
with death have been fought and won; III the
rame of thousands of lives rescued from abb
normaty and made useful in the name OF
unshed tears and forestalled pain and batHed

bright star May the children to whom he
has saved parents and the parents to whom
he has saved children, take time to acknowl-
edge the doctors worth.

the inevitable hour may certain grim adver-
sary recognize Eoble foe and deal gently

a hot cloth is the principal ingredient; but his
coming, his cool exami: alton, his calm verdict
clears the atmosphere in trice.
Even to-day thousands CT doctors are per
forming their errards of mercy all over the
lard, while the laborer ard the merchant, as
we'll as other professional men. are enjoying
a holiday rest; but the doctor is about his
busiress--1ome entering the houses OF the
rich, many more climbing the narrow stairs
