Active Medico, Age 98 Lived
Doctors Who Once
Up
By Fi'ederick; Griffin in the Toronto Star Weekly
On July 3, 1$67, a couple of days I
after Confederation, a young, deli
cate young physician, Dr. Joseph W.
Browning, hung out his shingle in
Exeter, a pioneer settlement not far
from the shore of Lake Huron. He
was small, weighed less than 1’00'
pounds. Threatened with or suf
fering from tuberculosis, he was not
expectedvfo live a year.
Today, very much alive, in. his.
98th year, he is still a practising
physician. Every' morning at nine
he enters his old-fashioned bffice in
back of the Browning drug store on
Main St., pre-pared to tend any sick
who may call.
“Fooled Them AH”
Still small in stature, he is sturdy,
thick-set, Weighs'" perhaps 175
pounds. In the prime of bis seven
ties or eighties, he weighed as much
as 204 pounds. “I fooled them all,”

youthful demise. VI buried the
whole jint bang of them.”
Such is -tile oldest active physician
perhaps in Canada, possibly in the
world. Where is there any older
one? Dr. Browning is the oldest
living graduate of Victoria College,
now part’of the University of To-
’ route.

Browning, “he went out at nights,
travelled about, brought babies into
the world, was active in every
sense of the word. Only of recent
years has he slowed down, particu
larly in the past two or three years.”
Dr. Browning is not only the
oldest physician, but the oldest liv
ing telegrapher in Canada, On his
surgery desk is a key (bug) present
ed to him in 1928, when he took
part, as the dean of that time, in a
eoast-to-coast hook-up of the Can
adian National Telegraphs. He
showed me that he can today, more
than a dozen years later, still tap
out a message, by . dot-dashing my
name slowly with a stiff finger.
Oddly, his memory of himself as
a boy telegrapher seeps to persist
most strongly. A number of times
he told me that He became an op
erator when he was 13 years, two
months, in' Markham, Ont., where
he lived with his family,
Said Dr. Browning: “I received
dispatches of the- Crimean War and

Bora in England
Dr. Browning was born on Nov.
, 1843, in Glasonbury district of
Somerset, England. * His father
was a watch and clock maker, and
some, of his clocks are still going.
When .Din Browning began his
practice he had no means of trans
portation but his feet, and day after
day he walked miles to visit the
sick in the pioneer communities.
'In 1867, following his
and hanging out his

“When I ’started out,” he chuckl

25 cents. That’s how I began as
a doctor, on my own feet,”

All of oiti‘ readers may not be
familiar with Miss Dorothy Thomp
son’s column in the Toronto Globs
and Mail. Miss Thompson, one of
the keenest observers ofl our own
times, published an article last
week which offered a possible in*
terpretation of some of Germany’s
recent actions. The writei1 did
claim that her conclusions were
cessurily the correct ones, but
explanations she offered were
tensely interesting. Outstanding in
her ideas concerning Hitler’^ recent
moves was the *■ suggestion " '
Rudolph Hess’s appearance in
tain had a definite Connection
Germany's sudden attack on
former ally, Russia. Miss Thomp
son stated that her own idea was
that Hess had been sent to Britain
for the purpose of offering’ peace
terms to the Anglo-Saxons, and that
he was. authorized to tell the Brit
ish that Germany would be willing
to turn around and rend Russia, as
a further inducement for a peace
With England. The writer has
come to the conclusion that the
move was made very quietly on Ger
many’s part, under the deceptive
cover of Hess’s apparent insanity,
and that the British just as quietly
simulated agreement with the plan
but had no intention of betraying
the Soviet to German duplicity. She
also suggests that the results have
been entirely satisfactory for Bri
tain, both in respect of time gained
and fighting friends acquired. We
do not know, at this distance, wheth
er or not Miss Thompson is right in
her assumptions, but the details of
the plan certainly have the distinct
aroma of the true Hitler double
cross. » '• , *
