flee his life i'm the sacred duties of
our profession, we feel that of right
they are the children of our Society I;

in every way possible, and to this end
We pledge them our friendship, sym

To all his relatives, who have lost
such distinguished kinsman and 10
his clientele, who have lost sueh a
noble and able family physician, we
offer our sympathy.
