DR.. A. M. CUSHING BURIED
HERE,

DR.. A. M. Cushing, who came to
Bradford straight from his medi-
cal studies in the late fifties, and
put out his single as an M. ID.
for the first time, was brought
back to Bradford, Tuesday, to
rest beside his wife, who died in
1880. The effect of a fall Six years
ago and advancing years caused
his death. DR.. Cushing married
Miss Elizabeth Pearsons, of Brad
ford, sister of the late DR.. D.

ingburg, N Y, and later moved to

field, Mass, for the closing years
of his life. Nominally, he retired
a few years ago, but he never en-
tirely gave up the practice OF
medicine, although he had passed
his SD birthday before his death.
There were those among his older
patients, who still came to him for
advice and medicine. He was a
genial man, one of the sturdy New
England type, loved his friends
and had no use for those he did
not like. His company was sought
by old and young, as he was
great story teller and optimistic
in his constant looking forward to
the coming days, rather than
back to the doings of old days.
He leaves two sons, John, who
now conducts a private school in
New Haven, Conn, and Harry, a
lawyer, on Cedar ST., New York
City. One son, Alvin, is not liv-
ing.
The brief funeral service was
held in Grace church vestry Tues
day, Rev. A. R. Crewe officiating.
The burial was in the cemetery on
the upper plain. Both sons came
with the fathers body on its last
Journey.

TERRIBLE CHOLERA
EPIDEMICS

Sixty years ago, in 1852, the
international Congress on Hygiene
and Demography was organized to
consider means and methods for
fighting the Epidemic of Asiatic
cholera that was then raging in
Europe. Since the first meeting
thirteen similar gatherings have
been held in various European
cities, bat the session called for
Washington, beginning today, is
the first on this side of the
Atlantic.
It has been due to this great
body Of scientists and medical men,
more than to any other agency,
that cholera has ceased to be a
scourge to America and Europe.
This terrible cholera epidemic of
the last century spread from India
into Russia in 1929, and to
Germany and England in 1830-3I,
carrying off nearly million
people. 1t reached America in
1882. the first death occurring in
Quebec, whence it spread to cities
as far distant as New Orleans.
|. Another visitation of cholera in
England began in 1849, causing
$4,000 deaths. When the scourge
reappeared in 1852, the leading
medical men of Europe organized
to combat the disease. In 1866
the dread disease was again pre-
valcnt in Europe, but the fatalities
were much fewer than in previous
epidemics. .....
Since then the disease has been
practically wiped out in Europe
and America.

"No subject is more vital to

ference held June 26-July 6, de
clared that "the. administration of
