All I remember of IN him was that I liked him, but not his powders. His face to me was a bone- n diction and successfully quelled the fears in my boyish heart.

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.
