London County Medical society and of the Connecticut State Medical society and was the honored president of each of these societies.
 Dr. Amy took just pride in work entitled Manual for Litter Drill, for Hospital Corps. This was prepared for use in his own brigade: later it was adopted by the state, for the use of the National Guard, and still later, was adopted for use by the U. $. army.
 Probably that for which Dr. Amy will be longest remembered by those who knew him intimately was the brave way in which he met and bore one of the greatest calamities that ever befel a Norwich doctor; the man. ner of meeting this trouble was nOth- ing short of heroic.
 In 1906, following prolonged suf- fering from gangrene of the foot, Dr. Amy submitted to anputation of the leg, above the knee. Healing was de- layed for IS months. When at last healing was complete, his friends hoped that he might at least resume office practice, but his health never permitted it.
 In 1912 Dr. Amy suffered the loss of the other leg, above the knee. The shock of the second operation was too much for his system, although the wound healed, his strength never returned and he gradually failed, un- til the end. At times his sufferings were intense, but were borne with a patience and fort1tude which excited the keenest admiration of his friends. 4 true soldier to the last,
 In the death of Dr. Amy Norwich lost a prominent and worthy citizen, his friends true friend and his pa tients a conscientious and sI<illful sur geon and physician.
