DEAR DR. KAISER:—

The history of the development of medicine in theCounty should be of great interest, not only to the presentgeneration but also to the doctors who come after. Thevolume will have greatly increased value because of yourinclusion of brief biographies of the physicians who haveactually practiced in the county.

I hope sincerely that the work undertaken may becompleted early in order that important events may notbe overloo\ed.

I remember very well when James Collins incited mein 1886 (while I was working in Gibbard's Drugstore inWhitby) to take up the study of medicine. He andClarence Starr, of Brooklin, and I, were in the medicalschool together in the late eighties.

With kind regards, I am,

Very sincerely yours,

LEWELLYS F. BARKER

PREFACE

In presenting to the public this little volume of informationin regard to the Medical Profession of the County of Ontario,past and present, let me first express my thanks to Col. theHon. Herbert A. Bruce, M.D., Lieutenant Governor of theProvince of Ontario, for his gracious act in becoming Patronto the history of the Medical fraternity of the County in whichhe spent his boyhood and student days. It was also a pleasureto receive a word of encouragement from Dr. Lewellys F.Barker, the foundation of whose illustrious career was un-doubtedly laid in the good old County of Ontario.

I also desire to express my thanks, and that of the MedicalAssociation, to Mrs. F. W. Cowan, our Patroness, whose gen-erous support alone made it possible for this volume to appear.

While we recognize with pleasure the hearty support ofthe profession in general, may I particularly mention the as-sistance of Dr. Shier, Past President of the Association, andother officers who worked with us while gathering the materialcontained in the work.

We have seen fit to divide the volume into five parts—Part 1, Matters of General Interest; Part II, deals with ourdeparted brethren, particularly with the pioneers of the pro-fession; Part III, arranged alphabetically, as far as possible,covers the men of today; Part IV, Localities; Part V, Con-clusion.

Beyond the facts already contained in the volume, we havemade provision for a Card Index in regard to Part III, whichwe trust will be kept alive by the Medical Association in orderthat material may be ready at hand when a similar effort maybe inaugurated by a future generation.

PART I

MEDICAL LEGISLATION

The history of the medical profession in any single Countyof the Province of Ontario has ever been subject to the

legislative forces of the Province as a whole. Hence, in orderthat we may understand the authority by which we exist andcarry on our useful calling, it may be well to look over someof the Acts of Parliament, which have been passed since ourearly medical pioneers played their part in caring for thesick and injured of Ontario.

In February of 1916, Dr. H. B. Anderson of Toronto, pub-lished in the "Practitioner and Review" of that date, a Sum-mary of those Acts, as follows:—

In the earliest settlements medical practice was carried onby the medical officers of the garrisons, stationed at strategicpoints, who had the right to practise by reason of their qualifi-cations from the Imperial Government. The large influx ofpopulation following the close of the American Revolution in1783 made it impossible for the military surgeons to attend tothe needs of the people, especially at a distance from the garri-sons. The dearth of properly qualified men was the occasionfor the springing up of many irregulars and quacks with littleor no education.

The first step toward regulating practice was the passing ofa law in 1788, *(one of the many ordinances, known as "QuebecOrdinances" promulgated by the Gov. General in Council ofCanada from the seat of Government in Quebec before UpperCanada was established as a separate Province in 1791) an"Act or Ordinance to Prevent Persons Practising Physic andSurgery,"1 the preamble to which states the reasons for legis-lation: "Whereas many inconveniences have arisen to HisMajesty's subjects in this Province from unskilful persons prac-tising physic, etc." It was therefore provided, under severepenalty, including fine and imprisonment, that no person shouldpractise medicine without a license from the Governor or theCommander-in-Chief of the Province, upon certificate of exam-ination and qualification by an examining board appointed forthe purpose by the Governor or Commander-in-Chief. Univer-sity graduates in medicine and commissioned or warranted armyor navy surgeons were excluded from the necessity of examina-tion.

9

After the establishment of Upper Canada as a separate pro-vince, the first legislation to regulate the practice of medicinewas enacted by the Legislative Council and Assembly of theProvince of Upper Canada at Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake) in1795, and was entitled "An Act to Regulate the Practice ofPhysic and Surgery."2 This Act provided for the appointmentof a board of surgeons to examine and approve for license topractise in the Province, under the hands of and seal of thepresident of such medical board and the members thereofpresent at the prescribed examinations. This Board was to beappointed by the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor or personauthorized by him, and was to be composed of the surgeonto His Majesty's Hospital for the time being, with the sur-geons of His Majesty's Regiment doing duty in the Province,and all other authorized surgeons and practitioners, or anytwo of them, of whom the surgeon to His Majesty's Hospitalmust be one. Penalties for practising without this licensewere provided; army and navy surgeons, university graduatesand others having the right to practise under previous enact-ments, were exempt from examination. Apprentices of thelatter were excluded from the right to present themselves forexaminations.

This Act was found to be unsatisfactory and was repealedin 1806. A bill introduced into the House the following year toregulate the practice of medicine in the Province was dropped,and until 1815 the only legislative control was apparently underthe "Quebec Ordinance," which again became operative. Thatmore efficient control was considered necessary is evident fromthe following quotation from an editorial in the York Gazette,October 8th l808:

' ' The opinion we maintain of such a public want arises fromthe conviction we feel, and the knowledge we possess, that thehealth, nay, frequently the existence of a fellow-creature, is lost,being too often sacrificed to the pretensions or cannibal ignor-ance of empirics, quacks and impostors. It is an incontestablefact that we are all created patients, but few of us are bornphysicians, and that education and studious practice, as well asa just judgment of diagnostics and the efficient operative quali-ties of prescriptions, form the necessary parts of fortunate andconspicuous practitioners."

Editorials and letters in the contemporary press, as well asan article by Bishop Strachan previously referred to, bear outthis point. Consequently, in 1815 the Legislative Council andAssembly of the Province of Upper Canada passed "An Act to

10

License Practitioners in Physic and Surgery."3 This Act waspractically the same as the one repealed in 1806. It left thecontrol of the profession in the hands of the military medicalofficers. It was provided that nothing in the Act should beconstrued to prevent "Any female from practising midwiferyin any part of the Province."4

This Act was soon repealed, the preamble to the new Actstating: "The provisions . . . have been found to be imprac-ticable."5

Another Act was passed in 1818 providing for the creationof an Examining Board, afterwards known as the Medical Boardof Upper Canada, to consist of five or more persons legallyauthorized to practise physic, surgery and midwifery; any threeto be a quorum; on the certificate of two or more of the Board,the Governor-General or Administrator might license to prac-tise. It was further enacted that the Board should meet inthe town of York twice yearly. At a later date, quarterlymeetings were provided for.

The creation of the Upper Canada Medical Board was thebeginning of any effective control of medical practice in theProvince. It may be noted that up until this time not only thepractice, but the regulation and administration of medical af-fairs generally in the Province, was under the control anddirection of the military surgeons.

In 1827 an Act was passed providing for the registration ofpreviously qualified practitioners, as follows: "Upon the ap-plication of any person exhibiting a diploma or license asphysician or surgeon, from any university in Her Majesty'sdominions, or from the Royal College of Physicians or of Sur-geons in London, or a commission or warrant as physician orsurgeon in Her Majesty's naval or military services, and pro-ducing an affidavit made before any judge of any County Courtin Upper Canada, stating that he is the person named in suchdiploma, license, commission or warrant, the Governor maygrant to such applicant a license to practise physic, surgeryand midwifery in Upper Canada."6

The Medical Board of Upper Canada began its duties Janu-ary 4th, 1819, and continued to hold regular examinations andgrant licenses until 1839, when an Act of the Provincial Parlia-ment was passed constituting "The College of Physicians andSurgeons of Upper Canada," with full powers to examine andgrant license to practise and otherwise to control medical affairsin the Province. This Act7 was claimed to infringe the rightsof the Royal College of Surgeons (London), and after a heated

11

controversy it was disallowed by the Imperial Parliament. TheCollege of Physicians and Surgeons of Upper Canada held itslast meeting in 1841.

When the College of Physicians and Surgeons of UpperCanada ceased to exist, the control of the examination andlicensing of practitioners reverted to the Medical Board ofUpper Canada, by proclamation of the then Governor-General,Lord Sydenham. He appointed Christopher Widmer, William. C.Gwynne, Robert Hornby, Walter Telfer, William Durie andHenry Sullivan as members of the Board. The medical affairsof the Province and licensing of practitioners were controlledby the Medical Board until October 7th, 1865, when the lastmeeting was held.

In 1859 was passed "An Act respecting the Medical Boardand Medical Practitioners,"8 This Act is essentially a re-statement of previous enactments.

In the same year "An Act respecting Homoeopathy" waspassed, making provision for the appointment of a Board ofExaminers, to consist of five members.9 This Act also outlinedthe course of study for Homoeopaths.

In 1861 "An Act respecting the Eclectic System of Medi-cine," was passed, providing for an Examining Board and out-lining course of study.10

In 1865 the Parliament of Canada passed "An Act to Regu-late the qualifications of Practitioners of Medicine and Surgeryin Upper Canada."11 This was known as "The Medical Act forUpper Canada,"12 and under its authority was created "TheGeneral Council of Medical Education and Registration ofUpper Canada,"13 The Act was passed September 18th, 1866.The body and the Council began its duties January 1st, 1866.The body created under this Act afterwards became known as"The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario."

This was accomplished after Confederation under authoritygranted in 1869 by "The Ontario Medical Act."14 In orderto obtain uniformity of examinations and control, provisionwas made for the admission not only of regular practitionersbut of eclectic and homoeopathic practitioners who had been inpractice before 1850. The Eclectic and Homoeopathic bodieswere each to have a fixed representation of members in theCouncil of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. This wasbrought about by agreement between the homoeopaths, eclecticsand regular practitioners to the repeal of the Acts of 1859,1861 and 1866, under which, respectively, they had obtainedlegislation empowering them to examine and grant license to

12

practise in the Province. By this means the way was clearedfor the passing of the Ontario Medical Act, providing one doorof entrance to the Medical profession.

"The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario" is thename adopted by the medical profession of the Province ofOntario in its corporate capacity. Every legally qualified medi-cal practitioner in the Province is a member of the College. Itis not an institution for the teaching of medicine.

The Act creating the College of Physicians and Surgeonswas passed by the Legislature of Ontario in 1869, and now theaffairs of the profession in this Province are regulated by anAct passed in 1874—"An Act to amend and consolidate Actsrelating to the profession of Medicine and Surgery in On-tario."15

Under this Act "The Council of the College of Physiciansand Surgeons of Ontario" is empowered and directed to enactby-laws for the regulation of all matters connected with medicaleducation; for the admission and enrolment of students of medi-cine; for determining from time to time the curriculum of thestudies to be pursued by them, and to appoint a Board of Exam-iners, before whom all candidates must pass a satisfactory exam-ination before they can be enrolled as members of the College,and thus be legally qualified to practise their profession in theProvince of Ontario.

The Council, moreover, has power and authority conferredupon it to fix the terms upon which practitioners of medicine,duly qualified in other countries, may be admitted as membersof the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, thisbeing the only mode in which they can become legally en-titled to practise their profession in this Province.

The eclectic representation in the Council and examinationsceased without special legislation about 1875.

The Ontario Medical Act underwent further revision in1887,10 since which time no important changes have been made.Other Acts have been passed in 1891, 1893, 1895, 1902, 1914and 1915 to make provision for matters of minor importance,but the general terms of the Ontario Medical Act remainunaltered.

The purpose of the Canada Medical Act" enacted by theDominion Parliament, largely due to the untiring efforts of SirThomas Roddick, was chiefly to make provision for:

(1) The establishment of a qualification in medicine, suchthat the holders thereof shall be acceptable and empow-ered to practise in all the Provinces of Canada.

13

(2) The determination and fixing of the qualifications andconditions necessary for registration, including thecourses of study to be pursued by students, the examina-tions to be undergone, and generally the requisites forregistration.

(3) The establishment of such a status of the medical pro-fession in Canada as shall ensure recognition thereof inthe United Kingdom, and enable Canadian practitionersto acquire the right to registration under the Acts ofthe Imperial Parliament known as the Medical Acts.

HOSPITALS

T H E County of Ontario is equipped with two hospitals, theGeneral Hospital at Oshawa and the Provincial Hospital

for mental cases, at Whitby, the latter institution havingbeen under contemplation for many years by the Province ofOntario. Dr. James M. Forster, its first Superintendent,spent the entire year of 1912 in Europe studying plans forits construction. Its history, in detail, is written in the recordsof the Provincial Secretary's Department at Toronto and itshistory needs no elaboration from the viewpoint of the County,further than to give the account by Dr. Stevenson and toexpress our pride at having in our midst an institution whichhas challenged the admiration of the Medical Fraternity ofthe world.

As Physicians, we, of the County Medical Society, are al-ways ready to acknowledge the value of the institution to theCounty of Ontario particularly and we never fail to expressour gratitude to, and dwell upon, the remarkable efforts of theHon. W. J. Hanna, the Provincial Secretary, under whose in-spiring genius the institution was planned and carried intoexecution. Dr. Forster, its first Superintendent, was succeededin November, 1927, by Dr. George. Stevenson, who in September,1934, was followed by Dr. Fletcher.

The Ontario Hospital, Whitby

BY DR. GEORGE. H. STEVENSON

To care for the increased number of persons in the Torontoarea suffering from mental disorder, the Government of theProvince of Ontario, represented by the Honorable W. J. Hanna,the Provincial Secretary at that time, early in 1912 purchaseda site for a mental hospital on the lake shore in the town ofWhitby, consisting of 640 acres. It was decided that the newhospital should be thoroughly modern in every way, and toattain this end Dr. J. M. Forster, who was superintendentof the Ontario Hospital at Toronto, was selected to be super-intendent of the new hospital at Whitby, and he and twoadditional persons of wide experience visited mental hospitalsin various parts of the United States and Europe. They finallyrecommended that it should be constructed on the "villa" orsmall building system, that it should accommodate 1500 patients,that no buildings should be more than two storeys in height,and that all should be fireproof, and that it should be equipped

16

with all facilities for the scientific care and treatment of pa-tients needing the special service of a mental hospital.

Construction was begun on May 6th, 1913, but was delayedby the beginning of the Great War in August, 1914. In 1916the women's cottage centre and Infirmary had been completed,and the men's cottage centre and Infirmary were nearing com-pletion, when the Dominion Government requested the use ofall completed buildings for a military hospital. Until theautumn of 1919 invalided soldiers were cared for, at which timethe hospital was handed back to the Ontario Government forits original purpose. It was therefore not until January 19th,1920, that the first mentally sick patients were received, thesepatients being transferred from the Ontario Hospital at To-ronto. Additional buildings were erected during the ensuingyears, and at the present time (1933) the original plan hasbeen completed with the exception of a clinical building, agroup of cottages for private patients, and certain staff houses.

The hospital serves the city of Toronto and the countiesof York, Ontario, Durham and Northumberland, Victoria, Peter-boro and Haliburton, has 1542 patients under treatment, andreceives annually about 500 patients, the discharge rate aver-aging between 55% and 60% of the total number admitted,which is a good testimony to the type of building, equipment,and staff with which the hospital has been provided.

Dr. Forster continued as superintendent until the summerof 1927 when ill-health compelled his retirement. He wassucceeded by Dr. G. H. Stevenson, the present superintendent.

Other physicians who have served on the staff of the hos-pital are as follows:—

The Oshawa Hospital

The Oshawa Hospital, like all other human institutions ofmerit, had several nebular proposals before assuming concreteform. In 1899, Mr. W. F. Cowan confided to the writer, that,should the County Council accept the offer proposed by himand his brother John, for the erection of a House of Refugeupon the farm now occupied by Alexandria Park, he wouldundertake to erect beside it an hospital such as I had beenadvocating for several years. This proposal failed. Then in1905, Dr. Hoig, Dr. Kaiser, and a small committee of citizens,circulated a petition for financial support but we were againdoomed to disappointment. However, the seed was scatteredupon promising soil and in 1908, from an unexpected source,we began to see signs1 of ripening fruit. The ladies of Oshawasprang to the rescue. Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, Mrs. Robt.Williams, Mrs. Jno. Bailes, Mrs. J. O. Henry, Mrs. Woodruff,Mrs. H. E. Morphy, Mrs. J. D. Storie, and Miss Mothersill tookthe lead in forming an Auxiliary, whose energies never laggeduntil the Hospital was opened on August 13th, 1910.

While much of the equipment and many of the comfortswere bestowed upon the hospital by the public at large, stillthe outstanding contributions at different times came from threedistinguished families of Oshawa, viz., the Cowans in 1910;Mr. Geo. H. Pedlar in 1917, and the McLaughlins in 1922, whoare responsible for the institution as we see it now in 1934.(Cowans about $10,000; Mr. and Mrs. Pedlar $14,000; McLaugh-lin's, Geo. and R. S., in memory of their father, Robert Mc-Laughlin, founder of the great industry which finally grewinto the General Motors of Canada, an unknown sum, but con-siderably in advance of others up to the present time).

Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin has given an interesting sketch ofthe Hospital, which will be best understood and appreciatedwhen given in her own language.

Dear Dr. Kaiser:—

In reply to your request for information in regard to thehistory of Oshawa Hospital I could only say what you probablyalready know, that the present hospital movement began in1907, when, at a meeting in the Presbyterian Church, cele-brating the lifting of the mortgage, the thought was voiced,amidst general rejoicing, that it would have been, an even finerthing could we have had a reason for rejoicing that would haveembraced all denominations. This led to a meeting being heldin the Simcoe St. Church, of sixty representatives of all churchorganizations in Oshawa, at which two objectives were votedupon, a business girls' club, and a hospital. The majorityvoted to secure the hospital. A mass meeting was called lateron in the Town Hall, at which I presided. Many were forthe project and many were opposed to it. You will rememberyour own opinion in this matter at that time. I do remember,however, that those opposed told us to our faces that we couldnot succeed, but we did succeed. A number of women, whosenames I have, canvassed the town, raising the first $1,000.00.With this was purchased part of the land on which the hos-pital now stands. A promise was made by Mr. John Cowanthat if we could raise $5,000.00, he would give us $5,000.00. Atthe end of two years this was done, in fact it was more thandone as, with Mr. Cowan's $5000.00 we had $12,700.00. Studyof plans was then made, and an adaptation of the plan of theWelland Hospital, as it then was, was made by Mr. Storie.The building was erected and formally opened on August 13th.1910, the date that the great pioneer of nursing, Florence Night-ingale, was laid away to her eternal rest. Since then, throughthe untiring efforts of the Auxiliary, the hospital has grownapace. I happen to be the only remaining member of thosewhose names appeared in securing the Provincial charter thatwas first issued in order to secure a building permit.

We owe so much throughout all these years to the wonderfulgenerosity of those who have helped us, to the wise and efficientmanagement of the Superintendent, to an earnest body of Boardmembers, headed by Mr. J. D. Storie, Mr. Conant and nowMr. A. G. Storie, that I cannot say too much in their honour.

A Training School for nurses has been begun, and carriedon, none ranking higher in the Province. Our Hospital is

20

standardized, as required by the American College of Physiciansand Surgeons, and is rated as one of the best five hospitalsin the Province. It is now nearing the quarter of a centurymark, and in that time we have had only two campaigns. Thegrants received from the City, the County and the Provincehave been negligible. Few counties in the Province have givenless to their hospital than Ontario.

Hoping that this may be of some use to you in your work,I am,

Sincerely yours,A. L. McLaughlin

(Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin)Dr. T. E. Kaiser,45 King St. E.,Oshawa, Ont.

A concluding word upon Hospitals in general is promptedby the remark of Cardinal Vaughan, that "the outstandingtriumph of Christian endeavor is the establishment and de-velopment of the modern hospital.''

Garrison at page 118 of his "History of Medicine'' says:"The chief glory of medieval medicine was undoubtedly in theorganization of hospitals and sick nursing, which had its originin the teachings of Christ. For while the germ of the hospitalidea may have existed in the ancient Babylonian custom ofbringing the sick into the market-place for consultation, as itwere, and while the Iatreia and Asclepeia of the Greeks andthe Romans may have served this purpose to some extent, thespirit of antiquity toward sickness and misfortune was not oneof compassion, and the credit of ministering to human sufferingon an extended scale belongs to Christianity. The Arabianhospitals, large and liberal as were their endowments and ca-pacity, came long after the beginning of the Christian era,and the Mohammedans probably got the idea from the Christians.The asclepeia and other pagan temples were closed by the decreeof Constantine, A.D. 335, and very soon after, the movementof founding and building the Christian hospitals went forward,in which Helena, the mother of Constantine, is said to haveplayed an active part. These were, in all probability, smallat first, the wealthier Christians taking care of the sick inValetudinaria, but by the accession of Julian the Apostate in361, the movement was in full swing. In 369, the celebratedBasilias at Caesarea in Cappadocia was founded by St. Basil,consisting of a large number of buildings, with houses forphysicians and nurses, workshops and industrial schools. It

was followed by a charity hospital of 300 beds for the plague-stricken at Edessa, which was founded by St. Ephraim in 375.A hospital was founded at Alexandria by St. John the Alms-giver in 610, and during the Byzantine period, other largehospitals arose at Ephesus, Constantinople and elsewhere. Theseeventually became specialized, according to Christian ideas ofthe obligation of charity and hospitality, as Nosocomia, orclaustral hospitals for the reception and care of the sick alone;Brephotrophia, for foundlings; Orphanotrophia, for orphans;Ptochia, for the helpless poor; Gerontochia, for the aged; andXenodochia, for poor and infirm pilgrims. At the beginningof the fifth century, hospitals began to spring up in the WesternEmpire. The first nosocomium in Western Europe was foundedby Fabiola about 400, 'to gather in the sick from the streetsand to nurse the wretched sufferers, wasted with poverty anddisease' (St. Jerome). Others were founded in Rome by Beli-sarius, in the Via Lata, and by Pelagius; and, further west, byCaesarius at Aries in 542, by Childebert at Lyons in 542 andby Bishop Masona at Merida in 580. The Hotel Dieu is saidto have been founded between 641 and 660 by St. Landry,Bishop of Paris, and was first mentioned in 829. St. AlbansHospital in England dates from the year 794. The mountainxenodochia or hospices at Mont Cenis (825) and the GreatSt. Bernard (962) are still in existence."

Throughout the ages the medical profession has played acreditable part in all hospital work, and it is a matter of grati-fication that the County of Ontario has not lagged behindin this phase of medical history.

professional duties, carries along not only much of the historyof the County of Ontario, but in many respects interestingparts of the history of his country.

While Col. the Hon. Dr. Herbert A. Bruce and Dr. L. F.Barker of Baltimore may not have actually practiced in theCounty, their life's work has been so close to us, the formeras Consultant, and the latter as Medical Guide, that I includethem among our biographic sketches because we regard themas belonging to the County of Ontario.

DR. LEWELLYS FRANKLIN BARKER

Lewellys Franklin Barker, after taking his degree in medi-cine (M.B.) at the University of Toronto in 1890, at the ageof twenty-three, spent a year as house officer in the TorontoGeneral Hospital. Dr. Barker has great respect and admirationfor the medical school in Toronto and has always attributedmuch of his later career to the sound foundation in medicaleducation that he received in Canada. At the suggestion ofDr. William Osier he became Resident Physician of The GarrettSanitarium for Sick Children at Mount Airy, Maryland, for thesummer of 1891. In the autumn of that year Dr. Osier madehim a house officer in his department of the Johns HopkinsHospital. For the next two years he was Fellow in Pathologyunder Dr. William H. Welch, after which he was Associatein Anatomy in the new Johns Hopkins Medical School from1894 to 1897 and Associate Professor of Anatomy in the sameinstitution from 1897 to 1899 and Associate Professor of Path-ology from 1899 to 1900. During the years 1894 to 1899 hewas Resident Pathologist in the Johns Hopkins Hospital, thusresiding in the Johns Hopkins Hospital a total of nine years.In 1900 he was made Professor of Anatomy in the Universityof Chicago and lived there for the next five years, though in1903, the year of his marriage, he spent one year in Germanyworking in clinical medicine and chemistry in Munich andBerlin. In 1904 and 1905 he was appointed as one of theprofessors of Medicine at Rush Medical College by Dr. FrankBillings.

When Dr. Osier resigned from the Johns Hopkins MedicalSchool and went to Oxford, Dr. Barker was recalled to Balti-more to be his successor as Professor of Medicine in the Univer-sity and Physician-in-Chief of the Johns Hopkins Hospital,

24

positions that he continued to hold until the end of 1913 whenthe "Wholetime project" was introduced into the Johns Hop-kins Medical School. Dr. Barker then gave up the chair ofmedicine and became Professor of Clinical Medicine and visitingphysician to the hospital. He continues in this position at thehospital still and has been made Professor Emeritus of Med-icine in the university.

In 1899 he spent some months in the Philippine Islands withDr. Flexner and others as members of a Johns Hopkins MedicalCommission to those islands for the study of the tropical diseasesthere. In 1901 he was also a member of a special commissionappointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to determine theexistence or non-existence of plague in the city of San Francisco.

While working in the anatomical laboratory, Dr. Barkerbecame very much interested in the structure of the nervoussystem, and in 1899 published a volume entitled, "The NervousSystem and Its Constituent Neurones." He also translatedWerner Spalteholz's "Hand Atlas of Human Anatomy" intoEnglish. This was published in 1900 and has gone throughmany editions since. In 1904 he wrote a laboratory manual ofhuman anatomy. In 1916 he was the author of a three volumetreatise entitled, ' ' The Clinical Diagnosis of Internal Diseases.''In 1922 he was editor of, and contributor to, a five volumetreatise on ' ' Endocrinology and Metabolism.'' In the same yearhe published a volume entitled, "Tuesday Clinics at the JohnsHopkins Hospital.'' In 1927 he wrote a small volume on, ' ' TheYoung Man and Medicine," and in 1934 he published a smalltreatise entitled, "The Treatment of the Commoner Diseasesmet with by the General Practitioner." In addition to thesepublications in book form Dr. Barker has contributed severalhundred articles on medical subjects to various medical journals.

In 1903, Dr. Barker married Miss Lilian H. Halsey, of NewYork, and has three living children, one of them, William HalseyBarker, is now assistant resident physician in the Johns HopkinsHospital; another, Margaret T. Barker, acts a part in themedical play entitled, "Men in White," now at the BroadhurstTheatre in New York.

He has also been Vice-President of the AmericanMedical Association and of the American Society for the Controlof Cancer.

In 1905 his Alma Mater, the University of Toronto, gavehim an honorary M.D. degree. In 1908 he was made LL.D. byQueen's University of Kingston, Canada. In 1911 he was giventhe same degree by McGill University, Montreal, and in 1930he was honoured in the same way by the University of Glasgow.Dr. Barker has taken a deep interest in Pan-American medicalrelations, having attended the Pan-American Medical Congressin Havana, that in Panama, and that in Dallas, Texas. Thisyear he is in attendance on the meeting of the same organiza-tion in Venezuela.

Dr. Barker has for many years been deeply interested inso-called group diagnosis and group therapy and is the leaderof a group that is active at 1035 North Calvert Street inBaltimore. His residence is in the suburbs of Baltimore (208Stratford Road, Guilford).

DR. R. J. GUNN

DR. ROBERT JOHN GUNN

Dr. Gunn has the distinction of having maintained, un-broken, the longest record, 58 years, in actual practice, of anyphysician known to history in the County of Ontario. In Edin-borough, Scotland, he received his classical education under thedistinguished Dr. Chalmers, and his medical training underthe tuition of the immortal Sir James Simpson. He is saidto have been the first physician in this part of Canada to haveused the stethoscope. He died in Whitby, September, 1900.Dr. Caniff in his work on ' ' The Medical Profession of Ontariofrom 1783 to 1850", says:—

Gunn, Robert J.—Born at Caithness, Scotland, February 14,,1815, was the son of Rev. Alex. Gunn, of the Kirk of Scotland.He was educated at a private school and at the University ofEdinburgh. He studied his profession also at Edinburgh andbecame Lic. R.C.S. Edin. He then practised at Thurso for twoyears, and, in 1842, emigrated to Canada and settled at Whitby,then consisting of only a few houses, where he continued topractise, which became very extensive; and in the first yearsof his work he encountered much hardship in his rides of thirtyor more miles over half-made roads. But he never refused toattend the calls of the sick, rich or poor, whatever might be thestate of the weather, by night or day. Dr. Gunn did not appearbefore the Medical Board until April, 1846, when he obtainedhis license to practise.

Dr. Gunn enjoyed the confidence of the public, which heserved as school trustee and chairman of the Board for manyyears, as a justice of the peace, town councillor, and mayor forthree years, 1862, 1867 and 1868. He was appointed surgeon tothe gaol when Ontario became a county, 1853. He was also anelder of the Presbyterian Church.

Dr. Gunn married, October 24, 1849, Miss Agnes Pringle,.of Whitby, a native of Edinburgh. Two daughters grew up,one of whom became the wife of Angus McKay, farmer ofPickering; the other, the wife of John Ball Dow, barrister, ofWhitby

28

DR. HENRY BOYS

Boys, Henry—Was born, November 8th, 1775. His fatherwas William Boys, M.D., the Historian and Antiquary, ofSandwich. His mother, Jane Puller, was co-heiress of the estateof Statenborough, Kent. Henry Boys took his degree of M.D.at Aberdeen University, and M.R.C.S. London. He enteredthe army as surgeon, but was appointed Assistant Paymaster-General to the Duke of Wellington's forces, and served duringthe Peninsular War, receiving the medal and clasps. In 1833,he came to Canada and settled in Whitby, where he practisedhis profession. He was, also, Collector of Customs and Judgeof the Court of Request, which was superseded by the DivisionCourts. His intention, when he left England, was to draw land,as the officers of Wellington's army had been entitled to do,but between the time of sailing and landing in Canada, thelaw under which he could take the land was annulled; not-withstanding, he was urged by the Governor, an old Peninsularfriend, to still accept the allotment. He declined to do so, sayinghe could not accept what he was not legally entitled to. Duringthe Mackenzie Rebellion, he had medical charge of two com-panies of the militia, viz., Capt. Macdonald's and Capt. (Dr.)Lowe's, under Col. Cox. In July, 1839, he received the appoint-ment of Bursar of the University of King's College, and aboutthe year 1841, he removed to Toronto, and ceased to practisehis profession. But he did not lose interest in the profession,as he became a Member, and, subsequently, a Fellow of theCollege of Physicians and Surgeons, Upper Canada, and tookan active part in its proceedings, while it continued to exist.In 1851, his increasing infirmities obliged him to accept a gra-tuity and resign his office as Bursar. He and his family thensettled with the eldest living son in Barrie. Here he spent hisremaining days in the gratuitous practice of his professionamong the poor, and in the pursuit of his favorite studies inNatural History, to which he had continued to give attention.The nucleus of the collection of butterflies and insects in themuseum of the University was made by him, and presentedto the University when he left Toronto. He died, April 23,1868, in his ninety-third year. A local paper, in recordingthe event, says: "Although physically feeble for some yearspast, he enjoyed good health, and retained the full possessionof his faculties until his death. He was a man greatly respectedfor his many qualities, and was of a most kindly and gentledisposition." Dr. Boys, previous to his death, was one of theoldest, if not the oldest, living Fellow of the Linnaean Society.

31

Dr. Boys married Maria da Purifecacao Alves, daughter ofDon Mannal Alves, of Lisbon, Portugal, by whom he had afamily of ten children, of whom three sons and four daughtersstill survive (1894). The eldest son, Henry Eammael AlvesBoys, was for many years Treasurer of the County of Simcoe,but, owing to sickness in his family, had to resign his officeand remove to a warmer climate. He is a resident of SanFrancisco, Cal. The next son, Thomas Tambs, adopted theprofession of law, and is settled at Calgary, N.W.T. Theyoungest son, William Fuller Alves, is the Junior Judge ofthe County of Simcoe, and is the author of "Boys on Coroners,"so well known among the members of the medical professionwho are coroners. The eldest daughter married Dr. WilliamBulmer Nicol. The next daughter married the late ArthurHogg, Esq., of Thornham Cottage, near Guelph. The two otherdaughters are unmarried.

Dr. Boys came of an ancient and distinguished Kentishfamily, and one which has served the State faithfully in theseveral departments of the Church, the Law, Medicine and theArmy and Navy, receiving acknowledgements of their servicefrom time to time by grants of knighthood and additions totheir armorial bearings, and by important public appointments.It is said there are six Peninsular War medals alone held bythe different members of the family.

It has been stated that Dr. Boys resigned the office of Bursaron account of increasing infirmities. But there can be littledoubt these infirmities were the result of worry and continuedeffort to do the work laid upon him by the College Council.The writer has looked over the records of the Institution, andobserved the painstaking entries of the proceedings, writtenwith scrupulous distinctness. The present generation have littleor no knowledge of the history of King's College, and intowhat a complicated knot its affairs were involved, which led tothe appointment of a Commission to investigate the matter.

Dr. Boys did not find his duties a bed of roses. The Com-missioners appointed to inquire into the affairs of King's Collegein 1848, made this statement with regard to Dr. Boys: "Fromthe examination of particular cases, as well as from the generalinquiry in which the Commissioners have been engaged, theyhave been strongly impressed with the great impolicy, if notabsolute injustice, of imposing on the Bursar so heavy a weightof duty as that devolved upon Dr. Boys throughout almostthe entire of his tenure of office. The Commissioners have nohesitation in attributing to this cause nearly the whole of those

30

irregularities of official conduct in the subordinates placed underthe Bursar, which appear so strikingly exemplified in one par-ticular instance. The amount of work required of Dr. Boyswas greater than could be efficiently performed by any onepublic officer. It is altogether impossible for those unacquaintedwith the general state of the University records and accounts,and the defective system of bookkeeping which obtained in theUniversity office from the commencement, to form any adequateconception of the extent of this gentleman's labours; and itshould not be forgotten that, however eminently qualified hemight have been as an accountant, it was impossible for himto introduce a proper system of book-keeping into the officein lieu of that which he found established. The very founda-tion for a set of double-entry books was wanted and could beobtained only by a reconstruction of the entire antecedent workof the accounts, on the same plan as that which the Commis-sioners have been obliged to pursue. Had Dr. Boys been adishonest officer, he could have secured a very great amountof land under the confusion and obscurity of the defectivesystem of accounts, which he found rooted in his office. Thathe has not only not availed himself of an opportunity so tempt-ing to men of a different character, but, on the contrary, haspreserved his important trust uninjured amidst the embarrass-ment and difficulties inconceivable, places his moral worth inthe highest position. Unaccountable and culpable negligencehas pervaded every department of the management; with thehonourable exception of the case of the cash, by the late Bursar,Dr. Boys—an officer to whose industry and honesty in thispart of his trust, the University is indebted to an extent whichcan be appreciated only by those who have thoroughly exploredthe defects of the system of accounts and records under whichthe general business was conducted."

DR. GEORGE HUMPHREY LOW

Dr. Low was born at Kildare, Ireland, 1790. Died Bow-manville, September, 1865, aged 75. Married Iris HelenaMackay. Walton's Directory of 1836 gives Geo. H. Low asat Lot 20, Con. 2, Whitby, Ontario. Degrees, M.D., F.R.C.,London.

To Dr. Low goes the honor of having been the first residentphysician of the southern part of the County of Ontario, havinglocated about midway between Whitby and Oshawa in 1833.During the latter years of his work in the district he hadassociated with him the late Dr. William. McGill, who succeededhim in 1842, at which time he removed to Bowmanville. Inthe Township of Darlington and in the County of Durham hebecame, not only a popular physician, but a strong factor inthe social and public life of the community as may be seen fromthe following extracts taken from Professor Squair's "Historyof Darlington'':—

Page 105—Dr. G. W. Low is referred to as being a visitingphysician at Orono.

Page 143—"Geo. H. Low (1790-1865) was a very successfulphysician. Born in Ireland, was Churchwarden as early as1842 in St. John's Church. Defeated in 1854 for Parliamentby Henry Munro."

Page 161—"At the first election in West Durham in 1854,Dr. G. H. Low was the Conservative Candidate, and HenryMunro was the Reform Candidate, and carried the election bya majority of 85. Darlington gave Munro 349 votes and Low168. Clarke gave Munro 241 votes and Low 218. Cartwrightgave Munro 18 votes and Low 119. Bowmanville gave Munro53 votes and Low 71."

Richard Jones, Wm. Youell, John Brown,T. C. Sutton, Wm. Drewry, Mr. Biglow. Dr. Low was chosenRector's Warden, and Mr. Mann, People's Warden."

"Canniff" at Page 473 says—"Dr. George Humphrey Low,of Trinity College, Dublin, son of Captain Low, of Ireland,who served under General Wolfe at the taking of Quebec,emigrated to Canada in 1833, and settled at Whitby, where hefirst commenced practice in Upper Canada. During the re-bellion of 1837 he was surgeon to the East York Militia. Sub-

DR. G. H. LOW

sequently removing to Port Hope, he remained there severalyears and then settled in Darlington. Being eminent in hisprofession, especially as a surgeon, he had in Bowmanville andsurrounding country an extensive and lucrative practice. Hedied in September, 1865, aged 75 years, at his residence, Raths-camoy, Bowmanville.''

DR. WILLIAM ALLISON

From records of the Registry Office, Whitby, we learn thatDr. Allison, while resident of the County of Ontario at Brook-lin, indulged in considerable dealings in real estate. For thesum of £250, he bought the north west quarter of Lot 20, Con.5, and afterwards sold it to Thomas Lumsden for £612, 10s.He also purchased 10 acres of Lot 22, Con. 6, Whitby Town-ship, which he sold later to a Mr. Donaldson. He also pur-chased Lot 77, McGee's plan, of Lot 22, Con. 6, and sold itto Mary Mooney. According to Smith's Directory he was livingat Brooklin in 1851, after which time he removed to Bowman-ville, where he married Miss Colville and settled down to a largeand lucrative practice.

Caniff, p. 218, says:—"Dr. William. Allison appeared beforethe Medical Board, Upper Canada, October, 1835. He 'ex-hibited a diploma from the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons,Glasgow, dated March 5th, 1827,' and, after examination, re-ceived a certificate to practise."

Dr. Allison was long known as a respected practitioner ofBowmanville. In 1874 he was elected a member of the Councilof the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Ontario, and con-tinued a member until 1885. He occupied the Presidentialchair in 1880-81. In a letter to the writer, June, 1889, Dr.Allison modestly writes:

"There is nothing in my life worth noticing. I only triedto earn a living by my profession in the plainest manner pos-sible. Whether I have succeeded or not, I leave my friendsto judge. I have altogether retired from practice and live inobscurity; am eight-four years of age and in rather infirmhealth. Thanking you for your kindness in taking notice of anold man, I hope you will succeed in your enterprise. It israther an arduous undertaking; but there is plenty of materialin the country to work upon."

The writer has a pleasant recollection of the genial oldgentleman, and of his efficient assistance when performing anoperation in his town, now a good many years ago. Dr. Allisondied May 6th, 1890—age 85.

DR. R. WHICHELO CLARK

Was the son of John Cleland Clark, surgeon in His Majesty'sRoyal Navy, and was born at Leith, Scotland, in 1811. Hismother was the daughter of Dr. Whichelo, a native of Germany.Studied in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Passed as Licentiate ofthe College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, in 1833,and came to Canada at once (same spring). Settled in thetownship of Percy, and practised there till the rebellion brokeout in 1837. Removed to Whitby, and was appointed Surgeonto Militia (vice Dr. Boys). Practised there until 1858, whenhe moved to Ottawa, and was one of the surgeons to the Protes-tant Hospital there for three years. On account of ill-healthof his wife he had to leave Ottawa. He returned to Whitby,and took up his old practice again. Business matters connectedwith the death of his father, called him to England in 1866,and he went into practice in London for four years. But itwas not to his liking, from having acquired Canadian ways,and he could not conform to the preciseness of medical decorumobserved there. He consequently returned to Canada in 1870,and commenced practice in Hastings, where he has continuedever since (1890). He married in 1835, and has had tenchildren. One of them studied in Toronto for the medicalprofession two years. He then went to London and finishedhis studies at St. Thomas' Hospital. He is now practisingthere with Drs. Sewell and Cosby, 13 Fenchurch Street.

The following interesting reminiscences supplied by Dr.Clark, give a glimpse of the life followed by the doctors inthe early days of the Province, which the reader will be gladto see. Dr. Clark writes:

"Regarding incidents of my career in those by-gone days,I could cite many, but I fear I might be set down as another'Munchausen' by doctors just come into the profession. Atthe risk of being accused of a little romance, though, I shallgive a few incidents of those early days. One I still vividlyremember. I had been all night at a confinement near 'ThePlains,' . . . . , and coming home at daylight through the pinewoods, I was astonished at hearing strange noises, that at firstI took to be the yelling of tipsy men coming from a carousal.I was on horseback, but my horse seemed to be aware of im-pending danger, for I could scarcely urge her to proceed, butby dint of spur and a stout oak cudgel I had with me, I pre-vented her from turning tail to the coming foe. As we drewcloser to the noises, the mare grew more and more frightened,till at length, on turning a sharp curve of the road, I beheld

35

eight large wolves drawn up in file right across the road. Mymare was at this sight all but unmanageable, and it was allI could do with spur and club to prevent her turning andrunning back. Aided by my spurs and club, and yelling withall the power of my lungs, I urged her to within about twentypaces of the brutes, who were snarling and showing their lovelywhite teeth to perfection. At last, I suppose, my voice, raisedto its utmost pressure, prevailed, and one of them who seemedto be the leader of the gang, from his size, looked over hisshoulder and trotted off into the forest again. He was followedby the whole pack, and as soon as the coast was clear, I madea bee-line for the nearest settlement as tight as a hard gallopwould allow of, the mare seemingly as willing as myself topart with bad company. This was in 1834. That same winterI was called on one night by an Indian, to visit his wigwam,some ten or eleven miles through the bush, and pretty darkit was. After prescribing for my patient (a child), I wasexpected to remain and administer the doses, and had hardwork to make them understand that it was their province tonurse and attend to the directions given. I always found theIndians as honest as in their power lay, venison and such likebeing good pay from them. I remember once I took aboutfifty skins of the musk-rat as pay, dressed them myself, andmade a nice boa for my wife's adornation and comfort, andI often now think of a mighty comfortable warm cap I madefor myself out of the skin of a fox I killed and dressed. Ikept myself well supplied in venison and salmon by huntingin my leisure hours, spearing salmon by torchlight in a birchcanoe, with another young man. But this sort of life was allvery well till novelty wore off, and a family in perspective. Ihad two children, boys. I began to reflect that it would bebetter to return to civilized life, so, when the rebellion of1837 broke out, I took a couple of months hunting, killingtwenty-five deer and any number of salmon, and bade adieuto my Robinson Crusoe life, and went to Whitby."

DR. JONATHAN FOOT

Was the son of Dr. Solomon Foot, of Vermont, and brotherof Senator Foot, United States. He was born October 31,1804, and graduated at the Vermont Medical College, at Castle-ton, 1829. The following year he proceeded from Rutland,Vermont, westward to Buffalo and thence to "Little York."He had letters of introduction to Dr. Burnside and others, whoadvised him to locate in Whitby township. The first thingwas to obtain a license to practise, which he did in Octoberfollowing. But he had previously been at Whitby, havingarrived at Oshawa on September 4, 1830. His examiners wereDrs. Widmer, Powell and Deihl. His commission is datedNovember 9, 1830.

In February, 1835, he was married to Robina, daughterof W. Dow, Glen Dhu, Whitby. In the early years of hispractice it extended to Scarboro' on the west, and the town-ship of Hope on the east, and north to the limit of the settle-ment. This was done on horseback. Fortunately he was aman of iron frame and great endurance, and he spared neitherhimself nor horse when the welfare of his patients requiredit. Rich and poor alike were promptly attended to withsympathetic kindness. In this path of duty, with "unsulliedhonour" he trod through his long life, and died, January 2,1885, in his eighty-first year, leaving an "untarnished reputa-tion. ' ' He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and had"an unfaltering trust in God." The pall-bearers were JudgeBurnham, Sheriff Paxton, Elder Smith, Samuel Beall, JamesThompson and George McGillivray.

Two sons and three daughters survived him. We are in-debted to his daughter, Mrs. Henry Warren, of Orillia, forobituary notices by local papers.

WILLIAM TEMPEST

The following obituary notice appeared in the CanadaLancet, September, 1871: "We regret to announce the deathof Dr. William Tempest, of this city, on the 8th ult. He wasborn in Halifax, England, and settled in Toronto, in 1842. In1844, he received his license from the Medical Board, andpractised for some time in Trafalgar, and subsequently inOshawa. In 1861, he obtained the degree of M.B., Universityof Toronto, and soon after commenced practice in this city,where he has remained since that time, and where he built upa comfortable practice, made many friends, and endeared him-self to all who knew him by his kindness of manner and warm-ness of heart.

" In June, 1866, during the Fenian invasion, his son, amember of the volunteer corps, who was in his twenty-first year,fell at Ridgeway in defence of his country. This was a severeblow to the Doctor and the family, and an affliction that wasnot soon forgotten. Subsequently the Doctor held the positionof Medical Health Officer for the city, for the period of two orthree years; an office which he held with credit to himself andsatisfaction to all concerned. He leaves a wife and five of afamily (three daughters and two sons) to mourn his loss."

He died, August 8, 1871, aged 52.Caniff—Page 649. (See also "Proceedings"—Apl. 1844).

DR. WILLIAM McGILL(From Dr. Kaiser's Historic Sketches, 1921)

Dr. McGill was the eldest son of the late Wm. McGill, andwas born in the neighborhood of Paisley, Scotland, in the year1806. In 1820, rather than bear testimony against some neigh-bors who had got into trouble with the government, the familycame to this country, and in 1821, took up their residence inOshawa, removing shortly after to what became the family home-stead. The Doctor became a protege of a relative, the late Hon.John McGill, who gave him an education. For some years afterhe taught school in this vicinity, pursuing the study of medicinewith the late Dr. Low. After graduating at McGill College,Montreal, he proceeded to New York, where he further pursuedhis studies. On the completion of his course there he returnedto Oshawa and again resumed his practice that made his namea household word over a wide district of country. The Doctor,while devoted to his profession and a most attentive physician,never ceased to take an interest in public affairs. Naturallyhe was deeply interested in educational matters. He became a

41

member of the School Board in 1856 and in 1857 and 1858 wasits chairman, as again he was in 1860. In 1863 he was re-elected chairman and continued to hold that position until 1877when he retired, a hearty vote of thanks being tendered him atthe annual meeting of the ratepayers for his long and faithfulservices.

He took his share in municipal work and for some yearswas a member of the council and for two years was Reeve ofthe town. There was a general feeling that he should be electedMayor of the Town by acclamation as a token of respect for hispublic spirit to the town, but circumstances prevented it.

He was always a staunch friend of the temperance cause,and was a member of Oshawa Division for over thirty-threeyears, he having joined the Lodge in September, 1850, a fewmonths after the Lodge was organized in Oshawa. He was alsoone of the County License Commissioners up to the time of hisdeath.

The Doctor was an active Reformer of moderate views. In1867 he was nominated by the Reform Convention of the SouthRiding of Ontario, as its first candidate for Ontario Assembly,and he was returned by a large majority, by the vote especiallyof his own townspeople, the majority of whom voted irrespec-tive of party. During the contest he strongly dissented fromsome of the views of the Hon. George Brown, who was at thetime a candidate for the Commons, as to the method of con-ducting the election, and though the rupture was not thenpublicly known, its effects were seen, and shortly after enteringthe Assembly he gave a general support to the Government ofJohn Sandfield Macdonald. This brought down on his head afierce fusilade from The Globe and the maledictions of theparty. His fiercest opponents will, however, give him the creditof acting with perfect freedom from interested motives. Forsome time he acted with that party, but afterwards drifted backinto his old relations.

The Doctor was a thoroughly patriotic citizen. The accumu-lations of his practice were invested in the industries of thetown. He aided the original Cabinet Factory, was one of thelarge stockholders in the Hall Works, the original Stove Com-pany and the Masson Works, and assisted in the establishmentof the late McGill Works. These investments proved more forthe public good than his own benefit.

The Doctor was brought up a Presbyterian, but dissentingfrom some of its doctrines, he, many years ago, joined theChristian Church. Owing to some differences a band of seven,among whom was the Doctor's brother, left that church in 1841,

42

and organized what is known as the Disciples' Church. Abouttwo years after the Doctor joined this body, and was in it ap-pointed an Elder. He was for years the leading preacher, andone of the most acceptable preachers of the church. The Doc-tor was a most devoted man, and it would only be unavoidableabsence from town or a very critical case that prevented Msattendance on the Sabbath services and weekly prayer-meeting.His faith never wavered, nor his zeal abated through sunshineand shower; no matter who else might leave the church or ab-sent themselves, Dr. McGill was certain to be in his place andready for his duty. The Doctor held many positions, of whichwe can now but note them. He was one of the founders andfirst President of the Ontario Loan Society, President of theOshawa Harbor Company, and Director in the manufacturingcompany above noted. He held a Commission as Lieutenantof Militia in the company of which his father was Captain, andhis brother the Ensign. In 1849 Dr. McGill was united in mar-riage to Julia Ann, daughter of the late Charles Bates, Bowman-ville. She was a most faithful and lovable wife and true help-mate. She preceded him to the Better Land on the 22nd ofDecember, 1866. Dr. McGill died November 9, 1883. He hasleft two children, a son, Solomon, now practising law in To-ronto, and a daughter, Mrs. Currie of Port Perry.

They afterwards moved to north ofStouffville, when he was about seven years of age. The familyhas since resided there, a brother still occupying the homestead.The deceased worked on the farm in summer as was the customin those times, and attended school in winter. In 1852 he at-tended Normal School, Toronto, and taught school some tenyears, first at Bertie, near Niagara, then at Sanford, two yearsat Stouffville, when he again attended Normal School and tooka first class certificate. For six years he taught at Prince Al-bert. He graduated in medicine in 1865, was married in thefall of the same year to Miss Elizabeth Currie, who with fourboys and a little girl survive him. He started practice here thesame year that he graduated, with Dr. McGill, and from thefirst had a large practice.

The Doctor was a prominent man in municipal affairs andwas Mayor of the town for some ten years, retiring in 1886.He was the Liberal Candidate in South Ontario in the electionof 1887, and was defeated by William. Smith. He was prominentin the Independent Order of Oddfellows and was a memberof Corinthian Lodge and their physician. Five times he wasrepresentative of the grand encampment to the Supreme GrandLodge, twice at Baltimore, once at Columbus, San Francisco andProvidence, R.I.

He was a member of the United Workmen and the physicianof the local assembly, also charter member of the Sons of Scot-land. The R. S. Williams Mutual Benefit Association appointedhim their physician. For many years he was member of theBoard of Education. In all these bodies he took a prominentplace and by his generous, courteous manner attracted every-one to him but repelled no one. For years he had been surgeonin the 34th Battalion, and recently was gazetted Surgeon Majorand in a few years would have been on the retired list.

44

In '65, before he located here, Dr. Rae went to the UnitedStates intending to offer as surgeon in the Union army for thesake of the experience he might get but the war was closingand he returned to Canada. In the early days of the Trust andLoan Company, he was a Director, but retired several yearsago. For years he had been license commissioner for the ridingand always discharged his duties satisfactorily.Coroner - 18 7 6

DR. CHRISTOPHER BESWICKCaniff, p. 252.

Was an English physician, who came first to Pennsylvaniaand afterward to Canada, and settled in York County, nearNewmarket, 1809. He was accompanied by Gabriel Lount,father of Samuel Lount, for some time M.P. for the County ofSimcoe. "For many years Dr. Beswick was the only doctornorth of Oak Ridges. Dr. Reed, south of the Ridges, was hisearliest compeer, followed by Dr. Birny, Dr. Primrose and Dr.Thompson, after whom came Dr. Nash and Dr. Haskett." Dr.Beswick enjoyed a high reputation as a physician and surgeonamong the pioneer settlers, and shared with them the privationsand hardships of pioneer life. He is described by a local writeras "a pattern of frugality, economy, industry and sobriety, yetliberal and generous." His general education was good, andhe took delight in preparing the constitution and bylaws ofvarious organizations as they were developed in the growth ofthe community. The preparing of annual reports in connec-tion with different societies was a constant pleasure to him. Ashe never married, he was able to devote himself to these con-genial and useful acts. Although not a bigot, he was a devotedmember of the Church of England, which manifested itself ina practical manner. The first English church of the place waserected on Dr. Beswick's land, to a great extent through hisagency and by his means; and finally the land on which St.Paul's Church stands was given to the Church.

48

Dr. Scadding in '' Toronto of Old'' speaking of this gift, re-marks that Dr. Beswick's "large white house on a knoll bythe wayside was always noted by the traveller from York as heturned aside from Yonge Street for Newmarket."

For many years up to his death, Dr. Beswick lived withGeorge Lount, where he found a home and was cared for withtenderness and considerate kindness. He died 1837, and it isrecorded on his tombstone that he had reached the remarkableage of 118 years. A local historian affirms this was verified byrecords found among his papers after his death.

The above account is mainly derived from the diary of EliGorhani, prepared by his son.

EDITORIAL NOTE—There is nothing in Canniff 's record givenabove to show that Beswick was ever in Ontario County, but in"The Life and Times of Joseph Gould" by W. H. Higgins, page67, we find the following quoted from Gould's own narrative:

"The farm and sawmill that I had then (1833) boughtfrom J. P. Plank were not then considered part of the village(Uxbridge). They were a quarter of a mile south of it, upstream. And since I have begun to describe the village, itmight make it more interesting if I should state when andby whom the first break was made in the forest where thetown now stands. Lot 30 in the 6th concession was patentedin 1806 to Dr. Beswick. This gentleman made a start tobuild a gristmill and sawmill, on the present mill site, inthe same year. After getting out the timber for the mill andprobably building the dam, he became discouraged with hisprospects, and the next year sold out to Joseph Collins."

Those remarks from Joseph Gould indicate sufficient to jus-tify a claim to Dr. Beswick's interest in the County of Ontario.

In October, 1933, the writer paid a visit to the graveyardof St. Paul's Church, Newmarket, and located the tombstone ofChristopher Beswick amidst shamefully neglected surroundings.

The stone indicates that he died in 1839 and sure enough,it gives his age as 118 years. We, therefore, gather that he wasborn in 1721 and having come with Gabriel Lount into YorkCounty in 1809, he must have reached the age of 88 when tiecommenced to practice medicine in the woods of Ontario. How-ever incredible may appear the historic facts at our disposal,we are bound to accept them and in doing so, we pay tributeto the most noteworthy pioneer physician on record.

DR. JAMES HUNTEROf all the pioneer Doctors of the County of Ontario, the

career of Dr. Hunter is by all odds the most dramatic andcolorful. He was an enthusiastic admirer of William LyonMacKenzie and led a small company of followers towardsToronto during the time of that ill fated revolt in 1837. Beforereaching his destination he learned of the events that had takenplace at Montgomery's Hotel and abandoned the enterprise.Shortly after his return home he was arrested, taken to Toronto,charged with treason and released on bail. In 1838 he ap-peared for trial at the Court House Square about which FredWilliams wrote in the "Mail and Empire" on April 25th,1932 :—

"It was from the court house square that the demonstra-tions over the expulsions of W. L. MacKenzie began; it wasthere that David Wilson, the preacher, and his sweet singers,preached the gospel and sang of salvation; and it was therethat Lount and Matthews were hanged to appease the'determined' policy of Governor Colborne and Chief JusticeRobinson; and it might have witnessed other political execu-tions had not Mr. Gooderham, on the jury which had triedDr. Hunter of Whitby, for treason, on entering the juryroom, to consider the verdict, thrown his cloak on a chair,and asserted:

' ' Gentlemen, there will be no more hangings!''The house occupied by Dr. Hunter still stands on the south

side of the Kingston Road, at the top of the hill immediatelywest of the Union Cemetery. Shortly after his acquittal on

52

the charge of treason, he was again sought by the authorities,who had a warrant out for his arrest upon another charge. Theconstables who were sent to make the arrest, unable to findhim, were quite certain that he lay concealed in the attic ofthe house. In order to affect the arrest, they built a smudgefire in the stairway with the hope of ' ' smoking him out.''

This strategy was eminently successful but the agile doctoroutwitted them in the end. He escaped from a window, eludedtheir vigilance and found his way successfully to the harbor.With the connivance of friends there he was during the nightconveyed to a coal schooner commanded by Captain Trull,secreted in the hold of the vessel and safely carried across thelake to Rochester, where he remained till 1841, when he returnedagain to his home in Whitby Township.

Canniff at Page 445 says—Dr. James Hunter was born in Yorkshire, England, 1790,

and came to Canada in 1823, and settled in Niagara District.It is unknown whether he had studied medicine prior to leavingEngland, but probably not, as it seems he was a student atFairfield. In April, 1826, he passed the Medical Board, which'' was perfectly satisfied with his examination.'' He commencedpractice at "Whitby, where he remained until 1837, when hewas implicated in the Mackenzie rebellion. Being arrested, hewas released on bail ($16,000), and absented himself until thetrial, when he returned, and was acquitted on the same daythat Lount and Matthews were executed. This was in April,1838. He was afterwards threatened with re-arrest, but man-aged to reach the States before he could be detained. He re-turned to Canada in 1841, and resided for some time in New-market. He died in Buffalo, in 1850.

Dr. Hunter was small in stature, but a busy, energetic man.His love of the medical profession was inherited by his descen-dants who are still known in the medical world.

JAMES HUNTER, JR.A native of Yorkshire, England, was born in 1822, and

was the son of Dr. James Hunter, who settled in Niagara, in1823.

He commenced the practice of hisprofession at Newmarket, in which town he remained abouttwenty years. He was reeve of the council during six years

53

of that period. In the year 1860, he went to New York City,where he practised three years, when he returned to Newmarketand resumed his practice. He was a Justice of the Peace fortwenty-five years. He married in 1842, Rachel, daughter ofIsaac Lundy.

DR. JOSEPH CLARKEIn looking about any community for information in regard

to the history of a pioneer doctor, it is rather astonishing tofind that all his idiosyncrasies, eccentricities, personal peculiari-ties and foibles will be remembered and recounted with meticu-lous care, whereas the heroic struggles generally behind closeddoors, which he puts forth to save human life, are generallyforgotten. The lawyer and the preacher carry on their workin a blaze of publicity, hence the exaggerated accounts of theirrespective talents when kept alive by tradition alone.

Records show that in 1852 Dr. Clarke purchased from W. B.Jarvis, Sheriff at Toronto, a lot at the corner of Athol and CentreStreets. It is assumed that about the same date he commencedpractice in Oshawa and continued his labours there until 1882when he returned to England in the hope of regaining hishealth. Within a few months after his arrival in England hedied, leaving his wife, Sarah Cameron Clarke, in Oshawa whereshe died in 1899. Mrs. Clarke was a sister of the Hon. JohnHilliard Cameron, a distinguished lawyer who served manyyears in Parliament. The Doctor was an easy going English-man, much in demand by the ladies in their troubles. It wasan unwritten law that when Dr. Clarke entered a house a goodcup of tea should be ready for him.

Having regard to the memories of Dr. Clarke, which havebeen handed along from generation to generation, one wouldbe inclined to say that he (and especially Mrs. Clarke) seemalmost mythical. The aristocratic bearing of the family left a

54

real impress on Oshawa. The Doctor's erudite bearing, hisfidelity to the Anglican Church, his close adhesion to all socialconventionalities, were only equalled or surpassed by his de-voted wife. In her estimation the only duty nature ever im-posed upon her was to take care of her '' Dear Doctor.'' Thisduty she discharged with such unremitting avidity that it issaid, in his latter days, he returned to England in order tohave a chance to die in peace and quietness. As illustratingthe eccentric devotion of the harmless but sincere Mrs. Clarke,upon one occasion the Doctor was called to a patient livingabout a mile south of his office. Shortly after he set out forhis destination, a severe rainstorm broke upon the community.While the Doctor was quietly looking over his charge, a vigor-ous "rap, rap, rap" at the door alarmed the household. Uponopening it, there stood Mrs. Clarke, fairly drenched in rain,but with a sweet shower of smiles upon her face, she rushedforward with a pair of dry socks under her raincoat for the"Dear Doctor" in case he might arrive home with wet feet.

Incidents of this nature could be multiplied but they canwell be left among the many local traditions, which are to befound in nearly every community. Dr. Clarke left a goodrecord behind him and Mrs. Clarke's many harmless eccentrici-ties are recalled with a trickle of humour by all who rememberher.

From close attention upon a case of Viru-lent Erysipelas he contracted the disease which recurred in hiscase several times within a few months, terminating in ' ' Strop-tococcus Haemolitica,'' from which he died in a few days afterremoval to Toronto General Hospital.

DR. DAVID TUCKER

Dr. D. Tucker, a bachelor, a most popular physician locatedfirst on the Brock Road immediately west of Pickering Villageabout the year 1856, removing later into the village. He hadbeen previously an Army Surgeon, but settled in Pickering insuccession to a Dr. Burns, the first physician recorded asresident in the township. He seems to have taken an interestin the public life of Canada and contested South Ontarioagainst Dr. McGill for the Local Assembly in 1867 as a sup-porter of John Sanfield MacDonald, in which contest Dr. McGillreceived 1,367 votes and Dr. Tucker received 1,059 votes, givingthe former a margin of 306.

Owing to the fact that he had no relatives in Canada, thewriter sought out the oldest inhabitant of Pickering for aninterview as to his recollections of this once celebrated charac-ter. Early in the morning of October 2nd, 1934, I called uponCharles Seneca Palmer, 89 years of age. After introducingmyself and explaining my mission, I asked Mr. Palmer if heremembered Dr. Tucker. He answered, "Dr. Tucker! Whyyes! he was the first doctor I ever consulted. He lived onBrock Road, just south of our old farm when I was a boy about10 years of age. Three years after Dr. Tucker settled there Iwas taken with a sore throat and called upon Doctor Tuckerfor assistance. He, somewhat gruffly, took me into his office,looked down my throat, retired into his dispensary and cameout shortly with a large plaster; when applied it reached fromear to ear, covering my neck and chin completely. He told meto go home and call next day, which I did. He again lookeddown my throat and bled both of my tonsils, gave me a throatwash, and asked me to return again next day, when he repeatedthe operation. This time he gave me a large bottle of medicineand asked me to return as usual. To my great surprise Iwas able to talk and to swallow naturally when the third daycame, so I postponed the latter visit for four or five days. Ithen decided to make a call upon the Doctor to pay my bill.When I arrived there the office was filled with people and Iawaited my turn. When this came I asked the Doctor to finishhis other patients and I would wait till the last. Upon enter-ing the consulting room I said I was cured and I just called topay the bill. He looked over his books and told me his accountwas 75c. I gave him a dollar bill and refused to take anychange." There was a cloud of mystery about his latteryears in Pickering. While attending to elections and sufferingdefeat, another doctor set up opposition in Pickering and Dr.

70

Tucker took stolidly to his house, refusing to see any one duringthe day time, but at night he would wander around the villageall alone till all hours. In order to secure for him proper care,

John Wright and Hector Beaton, neighbors, persuaded him toaccompany them to Toronto. He remained there but a veryshort time returning to Ireland, where he met a tragic butpathetic death. The clothing of his bed became ignited fromhis pipe, his last and greatest comforter, from which burnswere inflicted upon his body of so severe a character that theycaused death. Prom the Ontario Archives we obtain the fol-lowing meagre statements in regard to Dr. Tucker:

The Canada Directory for 1851 does not list a Dr. Tuckerat Pickering.

The Canada Directory, 1857-8, p. 85, lists David Tucker,Surgeon, at Canton, C.W. (now Pickering).

Mitchell's Canada Directory, 1864-5, p. 556, lists, DavidTucker, B.A., Physician, Pickering.

"On Tuesday evening a notable gathering was held inthe Genosha Hotel, when practically all the medical practi-tioners in Oshawa and the surrounding district, assembled topay tribute to Dr. D. S. Hoig, who has the honour to holdthe record of being for the longest period in active practicein the district. In recognition of his long years of serviceand as a mark of the esteem in which he is held by his fellowphysicians, Dr. Hoig was presented with a cane suitably en-graved. Dr. C. E. Wilson presided.

"Graduating from the University of Toronto in 1880,Dr. Hoig at once began the practice of medicine in Oshawa,and at the present time is the senior practitioner in the dis-trict. His fifty-three years of service given to the citizensof this district is almost without parallel in medical history.In addition to carrying on his practice, Dr. Hoig has beenmost active in the civic life of the city, holding positions onthe Board of Education and the Library Board. He is theonly honorary life member of the Oshawa Golf Club; andstill plays the game which he has come to love so much.

"Among those who spoke were Dr. C. F. McGillivray ofWhitby, who graduated from the University of Toronto a yearafter Dr. Hoig and has practised in the district since thattime; Dr. T. E. Kaiser, who graduated in 1890; Dr. JamesMoore; Dr., Archer Brown; Dr. G. H. Stevenson, superinten-dent of the Ontario Hospital, Whitby; and Dr. David Archer.The speakers were in a reminiscent mood, telling of the de-velopments noted in medicine since they commenced theirpractice.

"Following the presentation which took him greatly bysurprise, Dr. Hoig made an appropriate reply in which herecalled some of the outstanding incidents in his life, makingspecial reference to the evolution in the treatment and diag-nosis of diseases."

Dr. Rundle's interest in public matters seems to have cometo him in a most natural manner, his father having been Reeveof Port Perry and a member of the County Council for sev-eral years.

In 1928 he built a most attractive home in Harmony, "Aus-tell Manor," one of the show places of our country side.

After being married some fifteen years he discovered thathis wife, along with himself, had descended, generations back,from a family by the name of "Rowe," whose original hometown was St. Austell, Cornwall, England. Hence the name as-signed to their beautiful home.

Apart from his duties as M.O.H. for East Whitby, 1912,Coroner, C.P.R.

Darrah is especially remembered as an expertat pulling teeth and for establishing in the minds of the boysthat "toothache would stop" as soon as his office was entered.Stokes appears to have left a reputation as a student of Com-parative Anatomy. The school boys observed a fresh dogchained in his yard at frequent intervals and the rumor of dis-section spread among the inhabitants with terrifying effect.About two years was the average stay of these doctors, Blackbeing the last.

MISCELLANEOUS

DR. SMITH. Came to Sandford from Queensville where hispeople lived. When he left Sandford he went back there.Benjamen B. Armstrong, who lived southwest of Sandford in ScottTownship, father of Dr. W. Armstrong of Zephyr, used torelate a story which tells a little about Dr. Smith. "DaddyWood and his son came home tight one winter night. The sonput on a good fire and went upstairs to bed. The father slepton a chair with his feet on the stove. After a time, arousedby a strange odour, the son came downstairs to find his fatherstill sleeping but with the lower part of one leg partly car-bonized. When Dr. Smith was making his second or third visitto 'Daddy,' he removed his wraps, took off his coat, washedhis hands, lighted a crooked stem pipe, and sitting down besidethe injured man, proceeded to smudge the surroundings withsmoke.

ONTARIO COUNTY PHYSICIANS REFERRED TO INJNO. E. FAREWELL'S HISTORY OF 1907

Page 17—The first Doctor in the township was DR WILLIAMBURNS of Duffin's Creek. The second one was DR. DAVIDTUCKER, B.A., M.D. Dr. Tucker was local Superintendentof Schools after Mr. Burrell. He was an excellent classicalscholar—and edited editions of works by Roman writers.

Page 43—The first Division Court was held by Judge Burnhamat Manchester in 1852. Mr. Bowers of Port Perry builtthe Scugog floating bridge in 1856 and the services of theIsland ferry boat were discontinued. The bridge was averitable "floating affair," portions of it went floating downthe lake shortly afterwards.

DR. W. O. EASTWOOD, of Whitby, was then practising at PortPerry and was the first to ride over the bridge. Up to thattime he had to keep a boat, for visitinge his island patients.

Page 45—The first settler was DR. BESWICK in the year 1806.He atempted to build a grist mill and saw mill in that year,but before its completion he sold his property to Joseph

118

Collins, who completed the mill but was killed in it whileattempting to remove the ice around the flutter wheel.

Page 71—DR. ROBERT JOHN GUNN, a Banffshire Scotchman, wasone of the earliest physicians in this part of the country.His practice extended through Pickering, Reach, Whitbyand East Whitby. He will long be remembered for hisgreat services to the cause of education and religion. Hewas for many years connected with the School TrusteeBoards of the town and was one of the principal supportersof the Bible Society from its formation until his death andwas jail surgeon for forty years.

DR. W. O. EASTWOOD is another old practitioner who has at-tained a high position in his profession. Practising hereand in 1857 he was local superintendent of schools forWhitby Township. His sons, William F. and John H.Eastwood, both became able physicians. The many charit-able deeds of Dr. Eastwood and Dr. Gunn in kindly assist-ance to the poor will not be forgotten during this and thenext generation.

DR. ROBERT CLARK, commonly known as the "Scotch Clark,"("The English Clark," DR. JOSEPH CLARK, lived inOshawa) was another of the early practitioners.Tradition speaks of a DR. ANNIS, DR R. CHICKLEY and DR.PEAKE.

DR. G. A. CARSON practised here from 1856 until a few yearsago. He represented his branch of the profession in theMedical Council and was for some years a Collector ofCustoms.

DR. F. WARREN, formerly of Brooklin, now of Whitby, is jailsurgeon and he has a very large practice. His fine resi-dence was occupied at the time of the rebellion by Col.Cox. DRS. JOHN and JAMES MOORE succeeded DR. WARRENin Brooklin,

DR. D. F. BOGART, a surgeon for the G.T.R. Company for manyyears, is another old timer.

PART V

CONCLUSION

For several months we have been gathering information inregard to the lives of the Physicians, dead and alive, who havetoiled among the people of the County of Ontario. A few gen-eral observations in regard to their work may not be out ofplace. One cannot fail to notice that few of them ever felt thenecessity of leaving upon record a "Last Will" in regard tothe disposal of an estate of great value, and yet from thetributes of respect paid to their memory, especially of our pio-neer Doctors, they were content to take their full reward fromthe immortal phrase, "A good name is better than great riches."

While in the active period of their careers, it is interestingto see how many of the medical fraternity devoted their sparetime to horticulture, gardening flowers, and the horse. Aclose study of old records of our Annual Exhibitions will testifyto the fact that in these particular lines, the Country Doctorwas always a formidable competitor.

The great tendency of people to follow the trend of centrali-zation during the last half century, has been reflected in themovement of the Country Doctor from the smaller to the largercentres. Whitevale, Manilla, Sandford, Manchester, Columbus,Zephyr, Greenbank, Prince Albert and Saintfield each, at onetime, supported from one to three physicians, but now are en-tirely abandoned in this regard. The telephone, the automobileand good roads have no doubt contributed, in a large measure,to this noticeable feature in the general practice of medicine..

In the matter of citizenship in general, one cannot fail tobe impressed by the number of our members who served in theGreat War, and in the wars of a more distant date. Boards ofEducation, School Trustee Boards, Church Affiliations, ServiceClubs, Fraternal Societies, Political Organizations, Fair Boards,Municipal Councils and even the Parliamentary Institutions ofthe Country, have always found active and interesting supportfrom the doctors in the County of Ontario.

For the most part the life of the Physician, here as elsewhere,has been one of devoted attachment to a life of serious toil. Andyet it were strange, if at times, incidents,of comedy or tragedydid not appear in the course of his efforts, to give a humorousor pathetic urge to human existence. A few examples of thisnature from my own experience and a few from other sourceswill illustrate my meaning.

JIM BEVIS

During the Great War, Jim Bevis was wise enough to avoidthe trenches by serving as Constable and Sanitary Inspector.Upon his discharge he was foolish enough to be regarded as asubject for the mental hospital at Whitby. The lack of excite-ment at the institution created in Jim the habit of breakingaway on parole at stated intervals, when, by assuming his mili-tary role of Constable or Sanitary Inspector, he aroused con-siderable consternation in the neighbourhoods he visited.

Wearied by walking on the highway, one evening he spotteda car standing without lights before a house. He presented him-self at the door, ordered the two young men who were visitingtheir young ladies, to the street, placed them under arrest,forced them into the car, compelled them to drive him twentymiles on his journey towards the County Jail, then mercifullyacquitted them and allowed them to return to their girls, itbeing their first offence.

Upon his second parole he posed as "Sanitary Inspector,"much to the chagrin of all Medical Officers of Health betweenWhitby and Port Hope, but greatly to the advantage of thepublic at large. Dr. Hazzelwood of Bowmanville was the firstvictim who fell before the stately figure of the Sanitary Expertwho was in the "Service of the Ontario Government"—Thedirty condition of the lake-shore dump was the complaint, forwhich forty-eight hours was given as the time limit for im-provement. Hazzelwood had his board meet, his Town Engineerreceived orders, the dump wagons set in motion and in a fewdays a garden arose where once the dump disfigured a landscape.

At Newtonville a few cans of milk before a farm housecaught the eye of Bevis. With a test tube he showed the farmersome of his cows had tuberculosis. He ordered the milk dumpedout, the cows tested, and proposed arrangements for slaughter.The farmer sent forth a general alarm throughout the country-side, and a clean up of all herds was the result. Down theline flashed the news of the approaching Inspector.

Dr., Farncomb, the dear old beloved by all, Medical HealthOfficer of the Township of Clarke, at Newcastle, heard of thecoming visit and prepared to meet the shock by lavish hospi-tality. A roast goose, the best wines and cakes galore wereready for the visit of the Inspector. At dinner Bevis, muchto the disappointment of the Doctor, refused to eat anythingbut cheese, and refused to drink anything but tea, being boiled.About to depart for Port Hope, he nearly broke Farncomb's

121

heart by telling him he was going to recommend his dismissalfrom office "for having such a dirty lake front within a mileof his home, and for keeping a goose pond within 100 feet ofhis well, which was the reason for his refusal to break breadwith him at his table.''

At Port Hope he encountered Dr. Dickinson and there at-tacked the "public water supply." He peremptorily orderedsuch additions and changes of methods as to run into tens ofthousands of dollars. Dickinson considered that before adopt-ing these changes he had better get in touch with headquartersin Toronto. Mr. Bevis, the expert, was not even known there.The services of the police were then called into requisition, theidentity of the gentleman was established, and Bevis was re-turned to Whitby. Let it be said to his credit that during hisshort voluntary parole he did more real effective public healthwork than most regular officers accomplish in five years.

"HIT AND RUN"

It was a beautiful summer afternoon, and as I was about toenter my office, the prostrate form of a young woman "just infrom Toronto," lay on my veranda floor, supported by a lonegirl of tender years who happened by. The sudden terminationof an agonizing spasm and a gentle cry as of a " muffled drum''indicated to my trained ear the exact nature of the case. Thelittle girl assisted me to carry the unfortunate patient to acouch in my inner office. I at once despatched her, my onlyassistant, for Luke's Ambulance around the corner. In an in-stant it arrived. News of an accident spread like wildfire anda crowd gathered around the office. A lone woman had beeninjured. While arranging matters as best I could, the driverof the Ambulance would repeatedly open the inner door, plythe usual questions and pass the answers out to the crowd."Is she badly hurt, Doctor?" "Yes, seriously damaged." Thecrowd began to feel uneasy. "What happened, Doctor?" "Oh,just another 'Hit and Run' brute." The crowd outside inanger, tucked their sleeves and tried to find the miserable cul-prit. " Can we help you, Doctor ?" " No, keep out of my way.''"Doctor, will we bring in the stretcher?" "Yes, we are nowready to move." A dozen kindly helpers carried the woman tothe Ambulance, all awaiting details of the accident. I askedthe driver to tarry a moment before starting for the hospital.I retired to my inner office and in due time I emerged on theveranda and, over the baluster, handed to the driver, in swad-dling clothes, a little form with fists and legs fairly tearing the

122

blankets from the stars. A moment's terrible silence and—then—well: I have seen a police force and even a fire brigade,endeavor to scatter a mob but I never saw a crowd melt sosuddenly as did that one on that beautiful summer's day, whenthe little fists of a new born babe shook defiance at a curious,but kindly rabble.

A MEDICAL TRAGEDYDr. Thomas Rolph, located at Ancaster, Ont., during his

stay in Canada. In his day he was a most active and potentagent for immigration to this Country. As an Englishman hereturned to his native heath to pass the declining years of hislife. His family was not related to that of the historic Dr. JohnRolph, of Toronto, although they were both very active aboutthe same time.

"The last chapter of Dr. Thomas Rolph's life is inexpress-ibly sad. The story of his death in England could hardly becredited did it not come from the most reliable source, and onecould hardly believe that such a thing could occur in England.The facts have been given to the writer by Dr. C. W. Covernton.He relates that he was visiting at Portsmouth an old fellow-student, Dr. William Engledon, the chief physician at the port.During his stay, when driving along a country road with hisfriend, and passing a churchyard, Dr. Engledon stopped, anddirected Dr. Covernton's attention to a tombstone, the writingupon which could be read from the road. He then narratedthat on a certain day, Dr. Rolph, as he was passing, caughtsight of his name, and stopped to see what it meant. Perhapsonly a medical man, especially a conscientious man, can con-ceive the terrible shock which would be experienced when heread the following awful indictment: '' Sacred to the memoryof the beloved wife of , who was killed by Dr. ThomasRolph." This stone, with the execrable inscription, had beenplaced for several months. The effect upon Dr. Rolph was thathe went home prostrated, and within a short time died, thevictim of malice. Dr. Engledon assured Dr. Covernton that Dr.Rolph was in no way to blame for the death of the woman. Itwas one of those unfortunate instances of unexpected haemorrh-age after childbirth."—Caniff, page 603.

the service he has done the family in taking a sister that noman of taste would have taken.

" I leave my books to my brother Andrew, because he hasbeen so long a jungley-wallah; that he may learn to readwith them.

" I give my silver cup with a soveign in it to my sister,Janet Graham Dunlop, because she is an old maid and pious,and therefore will necessarily take to horning, and also mygranma's snuff-mull, as it looks decent to see an old womantaking snuff.

" I do hereby constitute and appoint John Dunlop, Esquire,of Fairbraid; Alexander Dunlop, Esquire, Advocate, Edin-burgh ; Alan C. Dunlop, Esquire, and William Chalk, of Tucker-smith; William Stewart and William Gooding, Esquires,Goderich, to be the executors of this my last will and testament.

"In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and sealthe thirty-first day of August, in the year of our Lord onethousand eight hundred and forty-two.

(Signed) W. DUNLOP."

A WILL

DR DUNLOP, the Tiger, a heroic Army Surgeon, during thewar of 1812, settled in Huron County and died at Goderich1848, aged 57 years, left behind a most remarkable will.

The will of Dr. Dunlop is of such an extraordinary characterthat it is given here in its entirety:

"In the name of God. Amen. I, William Dunlop, of Fair-braid in the Township of Colborne, County and District ofHuron, Western Canada, Esquire, being in sound health ofbody, and my mind just as usual, which my friends who flatterme say is no great shakes at the best of times, do make thismy last will and testament as follows—revoking of course allformer wills:

" I leave the property of Fairbraid and all other landedproperty I may die possessed of, to my sisters, Ellen Boyle Storyand Elizabeth Boyle Dunlop, the former because she is marriedto a minister whom (God help him!) she henpecks: the latter,because she is married to nobody, nor is she likely to be, forshe is an old maid and not market-rife; and also I leave tothem and their heirs my share of the stock and implements onthe farm, provided always that the enclosure round my brother'sgrave be reserved, and if either should die without issue thenthe other to inherit the whole.

" I leave to my sister-in-law, Louisa Dunlop, all my share ofthe household furniture and such traps with the exceptionshereinafter mentioned.

" I leave my silver tankard to the oldest son of old John,as the representative of the family; I would have left it to oldJohn himself, but he would melt it down to make temperancemedals, and that would be a sacrilege—however, I leave my bigsnuff-box to him, he can only make temperance hornspoons ofthat.

" I leave my sister Jenny my Bible, the property formerlyof my great-great-grandmother, Bethia Hamilton, of Woodhall,and when she knows as much of the spirit of it as she does ofthe letter, she will be another guise-Christian than she is.

" I also leave my late brother's watch to my brother Sandy,exhorting him at the same time to give up wiggery, radicalism,and all other sins that do most easily beset him.

" I leave my brother Alan, my big silver snuff-box, as I aminformed he is rather a decent Christian, with a swag bellyand a jolly face.

" I leave parson Chevasse (Maggie's husband) the snuff-boxI got from Sarnia Militia, as a small token of my gratitude for

VERSE

Doctors rarely break into verse, but Dr. Elliott Brown, apast superintendent of Toronto General Hospital in the follow-ing lines indicates that The Muse and the Hypodermic havesome affinity after all.

De SenectuteA man's not old, though seventy years

Have left their marks upon his crest—Grey hairs or bald—if still there show

No stains of food upon his vest.

With youthful spirits and a willTo do each day his level best,

He plays the game and bears his blame,And keeps the gravy off his vest.

Though shoulders stoop and head be bowed,As fast he ambles to the West,

'Tis well, the glorious setting sunReveals no spots upon his vest.

With faltering steps and creaking joints,And wheezy breathing in his chest,

And high-pitched voice—don't call him oldIf there's no fruit stain on his vest.

He still may smile at his hard luckAnd lend a hand to those hard pressed

In Life's tough battle, if there beNo marmalade upon his vest.

And when that sober moment comes,With flowers all 'round he lies at rest,

Old friends sad glances give, but noteHe calmly wears a spotless vest.
