If , care to indulge in the amusing
reflections incident upon thinking of
old times ,1 can spend a few pleasant
minutes contemplating the heroic
courage of those local practitionerS
of days gone by. Today, they would
be called 'country doctors,' It seems
to me they paid a colossal price for
the distinctive title, which elevated
them in the eyes of the plebian crowd
out of whom they got their living and
fluctuation reputation as pliysiciens,
You will remember what a flaming
evangel of the temperance cause Dr.
McDonald was, How many school-
house addresses that man gave, He
too, as you know, had a great flair
for politics, as did also Dr. Chisholm
and both these men although of op-
poshe political views gained, during
their later years, the whole-hearted
support of all Wingbam and its en-
virons, I was Personally inclined to
be much encouraged by Dr. Mac-
Donald because I felt he was handi-
capped by being little of stature and
had a rather small. head. Of course
Mrs. 'Macdonald may have had a
compensating influence in this respect.
as she rather closely approximated
the stun-total of that ideal wife, so
sucinctly described in a previous art-
icle, by the sagacious John Dinsley.
I remember Dr, Macdonald looking
over the, new post office building
ourselves in the decades of the past.
Picture a winter scene. It is Feb-

cold, the breath of man and beast is
