Dr. Henry 11. Cowen The following from the Canadian • American, published at Chicago, refers to a former editor of the Exeter Re- flector:—A prominent name in the long List of successful physicians whom On- tario has garen to the western metrop- olis is that of Henry M. Cowen, A.. M., M. D. DrCowen was born in Exeter, Huron county, and comes of a Iine of physician:, on both sides of the house, his father being a practitioner of re- pute and four paternal uncles dispen- sers and mixers of drugs in Eastern On- tario; indeed for generations hack the milt' has never been without its - medical member. Dr. Cowen was ed- ucated in the Toronto Medical School, . where he made a very creditable record, and after graduating betook himself to the famous hospitals of Europe, spend- ing six years in London, Paris, Heidel- berg and Vienna, and winning the much coveted degree of M. D. of Lon- don. While there he practiced two years in the city of London in partner- ship with the late Dr. Smith, and four years ago feeling himself well able to cope with the chances this great field afforded he came to Chicago, a step he has never seen occasion to regret. The esteem in which he is held here, both personally and professionally, is amply shown by the numerous appointments whicha have been heaped upon him; indeed the genial doctor has more titles than an eastern potentate. He s surgeon for the London Guarantee & 'Accident Co., doing all their city de- tail work and assisting in determining claims for the whole country; surgeon to the Fidelity and • Casuality Co.; to the German School of Medicine on 12th st., and to numerous factories and large employing concerns in the city. A prominent mason, he is also physician to Oddfellows, lodge Peabody, and to Court Security No. 32 of the flourish- ing young (order of United Foresters. In addition to all this appointment work 'se finds time to attend faithfully to a rge acid ever growing private pract Like his distinguished com- patriot Dr. A, H. Ferguson, he is a man of good pbysique"•'and 'splendid vitality, confidence -inspiring in manner,and one feels that his cheery greeting would go far to dissipate the bines in a sick room. While retaining a warm feeling for his hirthland he is thorough- ly and loyally. Americanized and is by his Own ;assertion "a red-hot roarin Republican who• never split a ticket." 1:)t•. CoWon ,was married some 13 or 14 years ago to 1Viiss jjtruthers of (lode- , rich and haft a pleasant rosy home at 339 West Harrison St. In conclusion we may say that he drives one of thr. handsomest doctors t In nont 4 on the West side. CLINTON', HURON COUNTY, ONT. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1894 Raptlst S. S. Sm is Tree, The Baptist S. S. Christmas tree and entertainment will be held in the church to -morrow evening.

Mr. Steep informs THE NEWS - RECORD that the porker was fed on nothing but skim milk and peas and t hat when dressed it weighed eight hun- dred and eighty-five pounds.

Sir John Thompson's labor and sacrifices for his country were so great and marked that he died a floor man. Our citizens, we are sure, will subscribe as liberally as possible to the national testimonial. A Business.making Book.
