• Notes

  He was attending his last course of lectures at the Jefferson Medical College, and died of what the faculty called small-pox, though he would not believe it. A few years before, he had been vaccinated, taken the disease, recovered, and for six weeks cared for that class of patients in the hospital. He was a fine scholar, pure in principles, correct in habits, and enthusiastic in his profession. He had been appointed a surgeon in the U. S. Navy, and was looking forward to a useful life, with flattering prospects, but was suddenly cut down as he was about to enter his chosen field of labor.
