who were either treated by DR.. Tru-

fred Loomis, Sir william Osler and
the extraordinary corps of young
doctors who gathered around the be

DIR. Trudeau's chronicle is devoted to
accounts of his friendships with

struggles to found the sanitarium and
anecdotes OF his family, his friends

One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the book, at least TO those
who are somewhat bookishly inclined,
IS the chapter devoted to Robert
Louis Stevenson. This is of particu-
larly timely interest just now because
OF the recent unwilling OF memo
rial tablet to r.. l.. s. at Saranac
Lake. where he spent tho winter Of
1ss7-ss. and OF the publication of
ION the Trail of Stevenson" by Clay
ton Hamilton. which also gives a strik-
ing picture of Trudeau. Through DR..
Trudeau we learn that the beloved
physician" made very few profess
sional calls on Stevenson inasmuch
as tho master was at that time suf-
fering from tuberculosis in an ar
rested state and was neither in pain
nor In great discomfort. Neverthe-
less. DR.. Trudeau gives the world
clear picture of Stevenson in these
words:
Mr.. Stevenson ana had many
interesting and at times heated dis
cussions by tho fireplace In the sit
ting room. II was really a great
privilege to meet him in this infor-
NAL way, and even II we didn't al

A New Kipling Book.

In addition to the volumes already
announced for January Is publica-
ton, Doubleday. Page & Co. have is
sued several works OF general inter-
est.

"Stormcocks," once humble trawlers,

unheralded work, dangerous, but well
done Thanks to II, the great COM

In THE Fringes Of the Fleet" a
small volume similar to his France

the work of this heterogeneous but
picturesque fleet A notable feature
Of the book Is the inclusion OF six
new poems descriptive of the haz-
ardous life of these hardy fishermen
and sailors who are doing their little
bit for England. AS Mr.. Kipling says
of them in one of these poems:
BE we'll assured that on our side
Our challenged oceans fight
Though headlong wind and leaping
tide
Make us their sport tonight.
Through force of weather. not OF war,
In jeopardy we steer
