By Jabez Rands (As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial celebrations •xt year, Jabez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly lum.n on the history of the town.) Do you remember when the late Dr. J. W. Shaw gave out od medicine at the turn' of the century. Sometimes Dr. Shaw would give you powders wrapped in tie folds of paper, sometimes it would'be different colored lls. Then again, he would fill a bottle with pink, red or am. r medicine, The amber liquid was only given on special oc- sions. He named it laughing water, and it was mighty good edicine. On one occasion when Dr. Shaw had his office in the :lace Block about the spot where Lawson and Wise's In- rance office is now, a number of his patients were waiting the office when Bob Doam came in and the good doctor .ked him how he was feeling today. "Fine doctor,", "you sure fixed me short A short while later, aoc was looking fora'fnE*6 in his 'St 'pOCket: and pulled" out ,e; raixiiirUb;iik Of ye the doctor a queer -loOk'zind said; "Great Scott; doctor, hat would they have done to me if I had taken them." Apparently, these pills were so powerful that a person idn't have to take them, just carrying them in your pocket as enough for a cure. Getting back to more serious thoughts Dr. J.W. Shaw was great booster of Clinton and he worked for the town in any ways, including a stint as Mayor of Clinton in 1899. e was also on the waterworks committee that worked so lard to get the waterworks system, installed in Clinton and t was very hard work at that time. He served on the first Waterworks Commission and he :erved for the first two years on the Public Utilities Corn. ission. He was medical officer of Health for a good many years. Jr. Shaw was a good man for Clinton and a good doctor for he town and all the surrounding community. It does not seem that long ago when you look back and remember seeing • him getting into Fitzsimmon's meat delivery sleigh on a stormy day in the winter to be taken to a patient somewhere in the country, The sleigh was the only available means of getting to the.country at that time, LOVE'S LAST , GIFT REMEMBRANCE Whether it's a • MONUMENT • MARKER • INSCRIPTION You are remembering a loved one.
