Wilson, 465 West Mon roe street, died early yesterday morning at the Presbyterian Hospi- tal, a victim of his unrestrained zeal for scientific research.. Like so many of his colleagues in the medi- cal profession. Dr. Wilson lost his own life in an attempt to stay the ravages of disease among his fel- low men. The disease to which he succum- bed, after weeks of torture, was glanders, a malady which rarely attacks the human organism, but which is one of the most malignant and stubborn known to medical science. So uncommon is the disease indeed. that the belief is general that horses alone are subject to it. He was attended by Dr Arthur Be- vanand Dr Frank Billings. For twelve months Dr Wilson had devoted all et his leisure to ex- periments in the laboratories of the McCormick Memorial Institute in an attempt to produce a serum that world counteract the effects of the glanders bacilli. He hacl made much progress and was preparing to publish the results of his invest igations when he suddenly found that his system had become impre- gnated with the cultures over which he had been working. Familiar as be was with the deadly nature of the disease he must have known during the three weeks that he battled for life at the hospital that there was little hope. Yet the only regret he ex- pressed was that death should come to him in a way which might be attributed by other members of his profession to carelessness. To his associates at the labora- tory be said : "I dont mind dying, but I hate like blazes to go from this infection People may think that I was care- less." are- less." When Dr Wilson realized that his case was desperate he begged the attending physicians to ad- minister to him a remedy which he believed might save him. The phy- sicians, however, declined to take the responsibility. Dr Ludwig Hekteon, head of the Institute, said Iast night that Dr Wilson had been a most thorough and patient investigator, and that undoubtedly his researches would have been of value to the medical fraternity had lee been able .to throw them into their final form. An attempt will be made to piece the notes together so that some- thing of the contribution he was preparing to make may become known. Little is known at the Institute of how the infection took. place, and if Dr Wilson knew he failed. to :reveal the fact. It is supposed that he inhaled some of the bacilli while he was working over a culture in the laboratory of the institute more than three weeks ago. The first intimation Dr Uektoen had of his unfortunate plight was when he received a telephone message from the Presbyterian Hospital acquain- ting him with the facts. Dr Wiison's preliminary equip- ment had been exceptionally thor- ough. He was a graduate of the University of Toronto and of Rush Medical College. He was about to receive the degree of doctor of philosophy from the University of Chicago. He already had passed the test in his major subject, phy- siology, and was preparing to sub- mit to examination in pathology, which was his minor. At his death he was acting as in- structor in pathology in the Chic- ago Veterinary College and devot- ing his spare time to private re- search in the McCormick Institu- tion, with which he had been con- nected in the capacity of "volun- teer" investigator for about a year. The cultures upon which he was working at the time of the accident were brought to Chicago from Mil- waukee more than a year ago. Within a relatively short period three or four victims of glanders had died there and the matter ex- cited some interest in medical cir- cles throughout the middle West. The disease, by reason of its ex- treme rarity, had attracted few investigators up to that time, and it was at once clear that a much more thorough ltudy of its action on the hunian system must be made Dr Wilson eagerly embraced the opportunity which was offered him at the McCormick Instituto and served without remuneration, He was repeatedly warned of the peril- ous nature of the task he had set himself, notwithstanding the fact that he was probably as familiar with the action of the bacilli as any man in the institution. But his knowledge did not avail to save him, Dr Wilson was a native of Can- ada, having been born at Mitchell, Perth County, thirty eight years ago. One of his brothers, Dr G E Wilson of Toronto, is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, London. The decedent is survived by two sisters and two other bro. thers--Mrs. J, J, Brewder, 1398 north avenue; Misr Annie Wilson, Buffalo, 1'S Y. ; Dr. J, L. Wilson, Zurich. Canada and J A Wilson, Earl Grey, Canada. Because of the virulent nature of glanders, deaths from this disea- se come under the state regulation requiring immediate interment, The funeral of Dr "Wilson was held yesterday afternoon at the Presby. terian Hospital, where his death occurred. Interment followed in Forest Home Cemetery. It isn't so difficult to strengthen a weak stomach if one goes at it correctly. And this is true of the heart and kidneys. The- old fash- ioned way of dosing the stomach or stimulating the heart or kidneys is surely wrong) Dr Shoop first pointed out this error. "Go to the weak or ailing nerves of these or- gans" said he. Each inside organ has its controlling or "inside ner- ve." When these nerves fail then those organs mrst surelv falter.

D.A SHlli/OO "D This week we must . record the'. death of another of the older re- sidents of this place, in the person of Mrs. L. Kraft Sr., who passed away at the hone of her 'daughter, Mrs. G. Merner. on Tuesday night, of last week. Her end came very suddenly she having died through the night, apparently without a struggle. Her funeral on Saturday was very largely astended showing the esteem in which she was held. Her kindly life might well be fol- lowed by many who are now walk- ing about as though they were al- ways to live here, and her very sudden taking off, should be a les- son to all of the uncertainty of life. She was laid to rest Saturday morning, in the Luthern cemetery, under the sacred rites of the Luth- eran church, of which she had al- ways been a faithful member, Rev. Thun officiating. We com- mend the mourning ones to Him. who doeth all things according to His own wise counsels. and who will finally gather together all the saved to his flock. The Misses Henheffer, who are working in Exeter, spent Sunday under the parental roof. S. Brown and wife. of Crediton, and Mr. and Mrs. L. Ravelle of Grand Bend, spent Sunday with friends here. Mrs. Lingy of Elkton Mich , is at present visiting; in this com- munity. Mrs Pfeffer and daughter Minnie, are spending some time with their friends, in this place. H. Hahn came home on Saturday evening to visit his father, who is very ill. P. Schroeder of Mitchell, was here several days last week. Rev. A. Y. Hoist, occupied the pulpit in the Evangelical church, on Sunday afternoon and evening, preaching very acceptably on both occassions. In the afternoon he conducted the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, On Wednesday of last week, Mr. E. Walper and Miss Melinda Rader, daughter of Mr. H. Rader, were united in marriage at the home of the bride, amidst a host of invit- ed guests. The best wishes of all will go with them, to their new home on the groom's farm,lon the Bronson line, about two miles north of this village. Robbers entered.

PHYSICIAN TELLS 11011HE 'RUTS HilERIATIC PATIENTS A Distinguished Specialist Give* Valuable "Advire. In the first place I always impress upon my patients the importance of careful living and regular habits. Moderation in eating, keeping the feet dry, and wearing plenty of warm clothing are some of the precautions. No amount of medicine will cure, or even help, unless attention is paid to these few simple rules. I have had perfect results where patients followed these instructions, assisted by the following blood tonic and rheumatic specific Fluid Extract Cascara. 34 oz. Carriana Compound ... 1 oz. Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla 6 oz, Dose : One teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime. It is advisable to drink plenty of water during the treatment. A prominent local merchant who has 'tried this treatment states that it relieves backache, bladder trouble, and urinary troubles almost imme- diately and has a gentle but thor ough action en the kidneys. We advise all our readers to keep this prescription. The insttuctiana are valuable. When you plan your meals yotz- never think of bread, yet you always have it, and if it is left off the table . it is the first thing that is missed. You can live without bread, but you can live without any other food with less hardship—think along these lines and the absolute necessity of bread comes home to you. And because it is a necessity, its quality should be the best --quality in bread depends largely upon the flour. Royal Household Flour has convinced the women of Canada that it is the best for pastry as well as for bread. Try Ogilvie's Royal .Household.' Your grocer recommends it, because it gives such good results. Ogilvie Flour Mills Co., M. 154 Montreal. EXETER. B. S. Phillips conducted a splen- did sale at P.

DRYSDALE The many friends of Mrs. R. Orr Sr., will be pleased to learn that she is at present speedly recovering Miss L.

The numerous cedar groves ad- jacent to the lake shore between Bayfield and Drysdale, are rapidly becoming notorious as an appropri- ate place for fox hunting. While patrolling the beach in the neigh- borhood of this region, a, few days Mr. F. Turner. our amateur hunter and sportsman, succeeded in cap- turing a fine fox, which in the opinion of competent fur dealers would be considered a valuable animal. Fred is a hunter worthy of note and no doubt knows the mysterious haunts of this cunning animal. The fish described in last week's issue of this paper, according to our mathameticians weighed tsev- enty two pounds, a fact of which goes to prove that it const have been a sturgeon.

Presidentelect Taft's first un- official act upon being reasonably sure of election was to kiss his wife. He did it publicly and with apparently no fear as to what on- lookers might or might not think. In the great honor that had come to him, his first thought was of the noble and beautiful woman who has been and is his helpmeet, He knew what his success meant to her, and to have gratified her am- bition was plainly the dearest wish of this big-hearted man of the world, and what is true of Taft is probably true of a much greater percentage of men than the news- paper reading public is led to be- lieve.
