As a physician he ranks with the highest, and has held many offices in the city, Cf' state and national medical societies. Though Dr. Hill is eigty-three years of age, he seems like a young man in spirit and action. He is but slightly bent, has an elastic ' and buoyant step, and still shows wonderful energy. We naturally Wonder at such a man who has all his life been hard at work in l1is profession.
