He's generally beloved, there are none' too high or exalted to do him honor. The citizens of Clinton and surround- ing..comrnuaity join with his more in- timate associates in congratulations on this occasion._ The tablet was erected by the fol- lowing, all students of Dr. Gunn with the exception of Dr. Shaw ; Dr. Mc- Callum, Kingston ; Dr, McRae, Brits - setts ; Dr, Campbll, Toronto'; Dt', Dr. Clarke, Peter to St.Thomas D 1 G, Way, Meer Dr,McLeod baro Dr. Kay,Lapeer I rr ()Insley De.

Dr. Gnnn's most intimate confrere, Dr. Shaw, at. whose home the dedica- tion ceremonies took place, gave e most interesting account of Dr, Gunn's' life and medical career, as follows "Gentlemen :—We are honored by having with us as a guest De. Wm. Gunn, better and more familiarly ,known as "the Dean." He is one of the oldest praotitienera of Medicine and Surgery in the County of Huron, cud, probably, the most favorably known throughout Western Cameo. for his work in Surgery. I have as- sumed that I am better qualified to render a brief account of ins life and actions since coming to this County to practise his chosen profession for the tollowing ,reasons :—For 38 years I have. been associated.with him in Clinton trying to make 8 meals and a smoke a day. During these years we have travelled together from coast to coast of this continent and through paeteof Europe. These excursions were always essootated with the study at practice of medicine in some way. For Dr. Gunn while in active +practice never took what we usually designate a holiday though often absent from practice he was either at a Medical tweeting or walking foreign hospitals. This was was where we often differed, id,policy with negative results as to my advice. We have been auiruated by the same spirit. We have pursued the same purposes, We I*.tve been united one to the other all with a loyalty and spirit of co-operation • which I do not think has been exceed- ed by any two physicians for so long a (period. You will not expect nue upon this occasion to enter upon any narrative of his illustrious career so laminae to you all, I have only attempted in a moat imperfeet manner to present a few of the leading traits of his great personality which we hope the Tablet will help to transmit to hie and other students, physicians and citizens who fu tbe$oomutg lyears will throng the portals of the hospital, , Do, Wm. Gunn was horn on April 1461s, 1855 le the township of Thorah, near Beaverton, in the County of On - toxin, Hie father, John Gunn, was born in Goldepie, Glenrobin, Scotland in 1707, coming to Canada in 1830, locating neat Seaver•tdu, township of There'll. where be hewed out for llitnseif a hotnesteiid of 100 acnes At the age of 49 ho married Ohrlstina Grant, a lady who was been in Dornach, Scotland its 1810 who was just half his age.

If it be true that "the good mein do live after them," then it is a sad evi- dence of man's, inhumanity to than that too often allows the names and deeds of those who by their efforts have lightened human pain and suf- fering and held even death itself at bay to be forgotten and go unwept and unsung.

It should be an easy matter to ay s p tribute to Dr, Gunn and accurately un ceurate y estim ter the admirable traits and qualities of this unusual man, prob- ably born ahead of his time, When I fleet knew hlm he bad a great capacity for work, showing eageroees and en- joyment for his work. I have had adequate opportunity to observe and appreciate these splendid qualities which endeared him to his friends and contemporaries, which gave him se pronounced a place in Canadian Surgery. When we were plunged into war Dr. Gum] was" at 80 age that could have secured hint exemption from ser- vice, ,There; was no reason for him to pat on the uniform and sacrifice his personal feelings and interests. No reason except true patriotism. It was a real duty to be discharged. Be was Surgeon in Bella Huston Hospital, Scotland, where there were 1700 beds and the speaker was present when the Chief of Staff, Gen. Green Wood, re- quested Dr Gunn to do his operation for hernia that had proved so success- ful, He also served in Springburn Hospital, having charge of the most beautiful ward of 98 beds, many being occupied by, Canadians. Also at Col - Chester where there were000 beds and also Pei flat, 1000 beds. He made 1lledicine not only an4rt philosophy. but a He never said too much and thio little was said guarded- lyand cautious] Reused to saygo y, slow and carefully in the presence of Nature, as the Merciful Creator blinds most people as they pass down through the dark valley, that without good reasons temporal or epiritual we should not interfere with His:kind ar- rangements. I feel sure that if every admiring patient to whom he has administered comfort would to -night bring one blossom he would be buried in a wilderness of flowers. It seems to me particularly fittingon this oc- casion of opening the ew Hospital that we should do some honour to him and in doing so do honour to our- selves. A man so faithful, kind and true, What tribute can we pay to you, to • To let you know that all our hearts go out -• • To you, in love, and veneration true. We pray that many years may still he yours. In health, in joy, in peace. Which onlythose can feel who like yourself Have loved their fellow men. And faithfully have served them and their God. Dr. Gunn was a 'born teacher and attracted to him many students due. ing.his active career. These students are today practicing all over the North American contineut and when. visiting Clinton always paya visit to. him to recall many reminiscences, and after visiting foreign.. hospitals and schools always looked back upon the teachings of the old master." Ur. Gunn made•a characterisio reply, and each of those present also spoke in appreciation of the work of the guest of the evening and of his person- al qualities. His 'former students were especially eloquent in their praises of his teaching during their years under his iustrnetion. Ail present seemed to be of the same opinion, that any good we have to say of a man might better be said when he is Alive and can appreciate the kind words of hie friends and any testi. monial in the form of a tablet be placed so that he may see it and realize that hie life and work has been appreciated. Dr. Gunn said in response to the address f "This is all -a very pleasant surprise to rhe. Night before last, Dr. Shaw invited me to meet a few doctors at hie hoose this evening, doetot,s who were intimate friends of as both, and that was all, When I look at this beautiful tablet which Is now unveiled and read lite inscription I don't know Whether I stn in the spirit world or in the flesh. If I am in the spirit world I have 'improved ireatly during my residence. ICI still nhabit the old anatomy it will be necessary for me to live a long and meritorious life in order to measure up to the words of that tablet." He wished to thank Dr. Shaw for the kind and gracious words contained In the 'address ; ;words altogether too generous. Dr, Shaw had been' his most trusted and loyal friend in all hie tvor'k, as an anaestheelot he could always be relied on. Isis reared in this regard 'is not surpassed.

His practice of ob- stetrics has seldom been equalled and never excelled. Practically in every department he was a leader. But why should I dwell at length upon a matter which needs no eulogy of urine to set it in its true light ?. Thou- sands of grateful hearts throughout this county bear testimony to the quality of the Doctor's work. But there is, a matter about which I fuel bound at this time to give expression. I refer to my 2 years' probation under the tutelage of Dr. Gunn. These are among the most cherished possessions of inetnory's storehouse. He, more than any other man, has been the source of inspiration to me in my chosen profession, He instilled into me those principles which must ever be the motives of those to whom has been committed the healing of the body. Whatever measure of success I have attained I. directly to our honored guest," Brussels, .Ont, Dr. Gunn is one of the most grati- fied over the opening of Clinton's up- to-date hospital. Hee the father of hospital work here and well he knows the difficulties under which surgeons worked in the early days. "Many of mymost operations." remark- ed Dr.Gunrecently, wereperform- ed in the farm houses around here, with the aid of a coal -oil lamp and" he added, "more than once I have had to stop in the middle of it to catch the lamp from the falling hand of one who fainted while holding it. It was often too, the one who was sure he could dt� it, who "keeled over." Blyth Councillor Fingland was off duty for 2 weeks through illness. D. D. Cuttenden was here from St. Thomas for a few days.

Recognizing the value of Ford transportation, these peoples have purchased Ford products in such volume that the sale of Ford cars and trucks equals the sales of all other makes combined. As a result, the resources of Ford of Canada are now over $20,- 000,000. These resources mean ability to buy the best material at a minimum price. They mean the ablhty to organ- ize each process of production, from the purchase of materials to the completion of the finished car, on such a basis that every non- essential operation is eliminated. The economies thus accomplished are reflected in Ford prices which, always consistently low, are now the lowest in history. This is what Ford resources mean to you.
