cinity publish by request fol lowing particulars relating to his sad and sudden death from the Mario Star The whole community was startled and shocked on Sunday morning when word was passed from mouth to mouth that Dr Hun- tor was dead It seemed that it could not bo possible that the man who so many saw so cheerful hearty and full of on Saturday on our streets was lying cold in death It seems that early Sunday morning the doctor re ceived a will to a patient at Grand View hotel He went from to the west end drug store of his brothel George and awakened Mr Geo who has charge of the es tablishment Mr proceeded to prepare prescription the doctor had written while the two engaged in conversation the doctor remarking that he not retire as lie was momentarily expecting another call When Mr had concluded his work he stepped to the door and re marked that it was breaking day At this point the doctor who had boon suffering for a flay or two from cramps said I think I wiH take something to relieve me While Mr stood at the door the doctor took two or three bottles from the shelves and mixing a decoction swal lowed it at one draught My God George what have I taken greeted Mr cam and rushing to the end of the store found that the doc tor in the dim light had mixed car bolic acid with and instead of ammonia for his dose The doctor asked for an emetic and lime water both of which Mr gave him He then walked out to the platform in front of the shop and sat down hut did not speak Mr seeing that the did not have any effect ran down to the doctors residence and gave the alarm to Richard and then continued on to Dr Gibsons Dr Gibson jump ed into his clothes in a hurry mount ed his wheel and was on the scene in less than fifteen minutes from the time the mistake occurred but Dr Hunter had ceased breathing ere he arrived In tho meantime Richard Pringle had hurried to the help of the doctor and found him almost gone He raised the poor fellows head on his knee and as he did so with a few gasps the doc tors life was gone late Dr Hunter who was in his year came to the about two years ago with the reputation of having been a clever student in medi cine Not many have won success in their profession in so short a time a few months residence giving him a practice that many medical gentlemen require years to establish His loss will he keenly felt by none more than the poor and humble To the credit of the late doctor it may be said that he never spared himself and whether the call for his services came or early wet stormy or cold mud or snow knee deep he quickly responded Though he knew at times that he would not receive one cent remunera tion he accepted the case and perform ed his duty as willingly and cheerfully as if he was in the service of the wealthy Had Sad hardly expresses the feelings raised by this melancholy cir cumstance A bright and useful life so suddenly cut off when success was already assured in his profession An only and fond brother a
