TRE UTE DR, W, J. BOE
A Former Morris Township Resident
The Philadelphia Morning Press, of
December 711, publishes the following
particulars concerning the demise of
Dr. %Vat, J. Roe, of that city, a form-
er Morris tovnshlp old boy, whose
death le deeply regretted :—From the
death of Dr, William J. Roe, a Phila-
delphia physician and surgeon, it week
ago, there was uncovered yesterday a
story of his martyrdom to his profes-
sion, victim of a disease which the
Mayo Brothers, the great surgeons
and diagnosticians, declared was due
directly to an infection in his hand
caused during an operation on a
patient nearly three years ago 10 Jef-
ferson Hospital,
Dr. Roe had kept his suffering from
many of his closest friends and even
when he went to Rochester, Minn„ to
have Dr. 1Villiam J. Mayo pass upon
his condition and decide whether an
operation was necessary, he was so
sensitive that he gave out that he was
going Nest on a hunting trip with his
brother, Dr. Wesley R. Roe, a dentist,
Dr. Mayo decided that an operation
was necessary and four days after it
was performed Dr. Rne died, hopeful
to the last that he would recover and
enjoy such health as he never bad had,
and that the suffering of the past
would be eliminated.
The direct cause of his death was
toxemia that followed the operation
on a tuberculat kidney.
De. Roe was a member of the staff
of the Jefferson and Philadelphia
General Hospitals and was one of the
foremost cancer experts in the East,
as well as a plastic surgeon of great
ability.
Three years ago Dr. Roe was operat-
ing upon a cancer patient, who was at
the point of death from the disease, in
the Jefferson Hospital, Working
tediously to remove the dead tissues
that were sapping the life of the
patient. Dr. Roe reached back for a
particular knife, mentioning its name
to the nurse, who was assisting, The
nurse, a probationer, pushed the razor
edged surgical knife, point foremost,
into the doctor's hand and the sharp
point stuck into the little finger of his
right hand just above the first joint.
Unwilling to risk his patient's safe-
ty Dr. Roe hastily disinfected the out
in the finger and continued the opera-
tion. For a week be thought nothing
more of the incident, and then as he
tried to remove a Masonic ring from
his finger he noticed that it had swol-
len greatly. Little by little the swell-
ing spread to his hand and arm, and
finally he decided that the band must
be opened. Blood poisoning had set
in it was found,
and the hand was
opened and a dr
drainage tube A b was
g
placed in the wound. For twelve
weeks the hand was kept open, being
drained gradually of the poison which
had threatened, and in those twelve
weeks Dr. Rne, although suffering
great pain, stuck to his duties as a
surgeon with Spartan courage, and in
the eleventh week perforated a most
difficult operation on a cancer patient.
He was successful in this, and by the
operation prolonged for a year and a
half the life of a man who otherwise
would have died certainly within a
week.
Finally the hand healed, but still
De. Roe noticed that there was a little
soreness where the original wound
from the surgical knife had been, He
decided that something must be
wrong and the wound was opened and
probed and a tiny niece of steel from
the point of the knife, hardly bigger
than the point of a pin, 'vas discovered
and removed. Then the wound really
did heal,
Dr, Roe thought nothing of the mat-
ter further until about nix months ago
he began to suffer greatly from what
he believed was an inflammation of
the bladder—in fact, believed that
there was a stone in the bladder and
he persisted in this idea until a few
weeks ago. Then testi showed the
presence of tubercular bacoilli and Dr.
Roe, incredulous, consulted the best
kidney specialists in this city, and
finally went to New York, where be
asked the advice of Dr. Berger, the
great specialist on kidney trouble.
Dr, Berger verified the diagnosis of
tubet'etrla€' kidney, Returning to this
oity Dr. Roe consulted sante of his
friends and fellow physicians and
finally decided to go to Itoeheeber to
see the Mayo Brothers, There never
had been tuberculosis in his family'
and for a time was at a loss to trace
the origin of bit diaease in himself.
The Children's
Aid Society;.
Enjoyable Evening Spent in Brussels.
Instead of the usual weekly player
Meetings being held Wednesday even -
lug of hast week, tt anion meeting was
held in the commodious Lecture Room
of Melville (ihurel) in the interests of
13ttiesele Blanch of the Uhllciren's Aid
Society of Hoven 0o. Despite the
unpleasant weather there was.a huge
attendance,
Rev. D. Wren, one of the Vice -
Presidents, occupied the chair and
after devotional exercises made ap.
propt•iate remarks, based on the motto
of the 13ncity—"It is wiser and less ex-
pensive to save the, children than
punieh oriminale," He also referred
to the splendid pt•aotictal work being

To prove that Seet•ettu'y Elliott is a
very active officer we reproduce the
followingfrom the last annual report
or the ounty annual meeting :—
Visits made 370 during past year;.
children involved in the work, 177 ;'
made wards 13; sent to Iucinstlial
School nilly 1 ; complaints received 95.
Two Wards of
Huron Society
done by Huron Cu, Secretary, G. M
Elliott, of Godet•ich, and urged the
hearty co-operation of the public
generally in aiding him in his efforts
to help the boys and girls and the
homes of Huron.
Mise Carrie Hingston sang an ap-
propiiate solo and then Me. Elliott
was introduced. He briefly sketched
the mission of the Ohtldren's Aid
Society and gave interesting particu-
lars or many cases he had met with
and the excellent success on the action
of the Society. Accompanying the
speaker were about 100 floe lantern
views which amply illustrated what
was being said and rivetted on the
rninds of all present the urgency, help-
fulness and thoroughly Missionary
character of their labors. In addition
to portraits of wards of the S"eiety,
homes from where children bac) been
taken were pictured. There was also
a miscellaneous assortment of views
that served a good purpose, especially
to the more youthful portion of the
tuulienoe, Rev, Mr. Mann handled
the lantern in real expert form and
also put on a few slides with well
known hymns which were heartily
sang,
Mr, Elliott showed a good photo of
Provincial Superintendent J. J. Kelso,
Toronto, and called attention to the
marvellous success that has attended
his efforts. The best monutneut Alt'.
Kelso could have was the bettered
condition of thousands of children in
the Province of Ontario and the value
of the work to the citizenship of
Canada.
A choice solo was rendered by Miss
Isabel Strachan.
The office -hearers of the past year
were re-elected as follows:—President,
James Fox ; Viee•Presidents, tite
resident pastors ; Secretary, W. H.
82 of which were investigated. Let-
ters sent 1460, received 501 ; meetinge
addressed 18 ; mileage covered, 3864 ;
Police Court cases _0 ; wards visited
206; heard from 125. By his kindly
yet firm manner of dealing with hie
work 51r. Elliott has made many
friends in the County and has the
satisfaction of seeing A 1 success at-
tend his efforts. He gets $400 a year
and his travelling expenses which last
year was about $57.00, in addition to
postage $2265 and livery, $7.50. On
clothing and shoes for children $50:42
was expended.
The Children's Aid Society stands
for the investigation of complaints of
neglect or ill-treatment ; placing
homeless children in family homes
casing for neglected and dependent
children ; supervising children itt
foster homes and is a constant friend
to the friendless child doing it's ut-
most to better their condition as to
church, school, borne and general
aurtoundings.
Huron County made a grant of $500
Inst year and a number of Municipal
Councils also made contributions to
this deserving work whose promotion
is: in the well-being of the years to
come to a larger degree than the
public may think unless they have
followed up the work.
Brussels Branch officers are indebt-
ed to Mr. Elliott for his address, the
local musicians, Rev. Mr. Mann and
the church for the use of the Lecture
roots,
If you know of cases within the
scope of the Society a message to the
Co, Secretary or the local officers
would find ready response. Those
wishing to aid the finances may leave
their girt with Treasurer Gilroy at the
Bank of Nova Scotia.
His brother, Dr. Wesley R. Roe and
Dt•, Henry Lovett, of Langhorne,
went with him to Rochester, leaving
here on November I9. Consultation
with the Mayo Brothers established
the fact that the ailment was traced
directly to the infection in Dr. Roe's
hand which had been caused by the
careless handling of the knife by the
nurse in the operating room three
years before.
Dr. Roe decided thatb
he est thim
t
g
to do was to
undergo an operation
immediate) and within a few days he
went under the knife in St Marys
Hospital, at the hands of De. William
J. Mayo, For four days it appeated
that he was rallying from the opera-
tion. Then he had a relapse and died
a week ago yesterday.
Curiously enough, Dr, Roe and his
brother, the dentist, had received
word only a few days before they went
West that u claim for n gold mine
which they had staked• out as its
original discoverers in British Colum-
bia, Canada, six years ago, was in the
center of a gold rush in the district
and had turned out to be tremendous-
ly valuable, since it was believed that
the claim was right in the litre with a
vein of gold which was discoverer) in
the Mud River district above Barker•-
ville. De. Roe and his brother had
staked the claim while they were on
a hunting expedition.
De. Rne was enusidered one of the
best surgical €tuthorities in the United
States and was at the head of the de-
partment of oral surgery at the Phila-
delphia General Hospital, having been
appointed by Director of Public
Health and Charles Neff. He was a
staff surgeon at Jefferson IIospititl,
where he performed many difficult
operations, being particularly expert
on eaneter.
Dr. Roe's experience in dentistry
helped snake hint femurs As nne of the
greatest plastic surgeons in the United
States, and among the specimens of
operations which he had collected in
the last year of his life were jawbones
which he had removed in operations
and replaced with casts which, fitted
inside of the faces of the patients,
tnatie theta look exactly as they were
before. He had removed whole sec-
tions of men's faces and replaced them
as they were by means of plastic sar-
gery. Dr. Roe lived at 1322 Locust
Street, and had planned establishing a
large private hospital there,
Dr. Roe was born in Morris town-
ship, Huron Co., Canada, 48 years
ago. He fleet studied dentistry at the
Penn Dental School but after practic-
ing a yen', entered Jefferson Medical
College from which he was graduated
in 1895.

vived

"k don't think there is a more anxious
time for parents than when their children
have croup. Without they are prepared
with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy they
must wait for the doctor and listen to the
choking, metallic cough and watch their
littleone gasping for breath..
You know the great danger of croup "Granny" Chamberlain
is the formation of a false membrane in the larynx, and until this
is expelled relief cannot be obtained, and the spasmodic choking
continues. Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in frequent doses.
It will loosen this membrane and cause the child to expel it by
vomiting.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is an absolutely safe and certain remedy for croup, and if given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough appears, it will prevent the attack."
