The babe on the track and the
quick-wltted engineer on the cow
catcher to save him have been repro
duced by the hero commission in a
new way. John Carruthers, a Balti-

bronze medal and 10000 to help
pay for home because of his hero
ism in saving the life Of William C.
Fleming, tot of years, July 22,

fireman to run the work train on this
day, he taking the fireman's side of
the cab.
He saw the child crawling across
the track while the train was running
about Is miles per hour, and, calling
to his fireman to stop the train. he
ran out to the cowcatcher and, lean
ing over. grasped the child by the
arm, but not soon enough to swing
him clear of the engine, and the little
one was carried under the cowcatch-

arm, allowing the child's body TO drag
along the ties, but still clear of the
wheels, until the engine was stopped.
The child was dragged about 60 feet

Nature endowed DR.. Sem with a
powerful physique to which he owed
in large measure his phenomenal sue
cess in his profession. A powerful
heart pumping red blood into a
large brain, ample lung power, and a
healthy digestive apparatus unfold a
story Of wonderful capacity for physi-
cal endurance, so that after forty
years of continuous, eXacting profess
siorai work, he was at his zenith,
both mentally and physically. His
capacity for work was marvellous, en-
abling him to pursue methodically
subjects far beyond the reach of
his fellows. for though one may be
one may be endowed with superior
mental power, strong physique is
necessary to persistent effort And
right here DR.. Sem taught the pro-
fession a valuable lesson which all
would do we'll to heed. He pre-
served this salutary balance between
the mental and physical by frequent
vacations, not spent in 1istless wan
behring's, but always planned with a
definite purpose for study along
lines other than medical, at the same
time resting the tired brain cells
and creating new ones in his YER
satile, many sided, many gifted mind.
AS an author he is known in every
civilized land, not only as a medical
writer, but on account of his CLASH
cal descriptions of his extensive
travels.
Most men require stimulation to
continue original research But
Senns energies were automatic. He
needed no foreign excitement to goad
him to labor His genius and en-
ergy were enough to make him a
continuous productive scholar.
Senn's labors yielded fruit be-
yond expectations. By indefatigable
Industry and brilliant researches he
won the esteem and respect of col
leagues and the name of Sem was
heard in every land.
Sem was the pioneer who made
experimentation of practical value
in applied medicine and surgery. He
made American surgery universal
ly respected. In contributions to sur
gerry he rivaled any one of any age.
A curious incidental oversight in
DR.. Senn's original experimentation
producing his memorable, famous,
pioneer classic work on the pan
creas was that of emitting urinalysis
on dogs with eXtirpated pancreas.
Mankowski and Won Mering later
in Strasburg QS91) repeated Senn's
experimentation on extirpating the
pancreas but adding the significant
cant factor of urinalysis found that
extirpation of the pancreas in dogs
was accompanied by diabetes mellit-is

Senn's heart abounded in charity
and philanthropy for during his life

Some of Dr. Senn's philanthropy
may be observed in his gift of $780,

DR.. Senn's unbounded ambition and

Wisconsin honors the memory OF
DR.. Nicholas Sem as it honored the
man during his brilliant career, tax
ing pride in the fact that he was one
of the states most gifted sons. To
Wisconsin, therefore, the following
eulogy, written for the Sentinel by
DR.. Byron Robinson of Chicago, will
have special interest both as a
tribute and for the information which
it contains. Adding to it's value
are the facts that DR.. Robinson is al
so Wisconsin born and knew DR..
Sem intimately and that he himself
occupies a position of international
eminence His word carries authority
with it, for so distinguished is DR..
Robinson in his profession that many
honors have been conferred upon him
The January, 1907, number of the
American Medical Compend was a
Byron Robinson number and the
opening article was by DR.. Sem, who
wrote of Byron Robinson as an In
vestigator," referring to him as "a
builder and pathfinder. "He is a
splendid example of that army of
physicians who, true to their vOca-
tons, are not content to practice
medicine to earn livelihood, but
who besides eXpend much of their
time and money in the furtherance
and development of the science of
medicine said DR.. See in the course
of his article. Probably no man in
the medical world is better qualified
to write of DR.. Sem and what his
life meant to the world than DR.. Rob-
