In the spring and summer of 1888 Harriet came into heing. Never in the history of anatomy or of medicine has such a task heen accomplished, Only inlinite knowledge, skill, and patience allowed of its completion, If those who read would know more of that task, let them consult l'1arrietls guarf dian. In Georges eyes each nerve holds a separate memory of the man who separated its tender lihrils from its native hed. No sainted relic was ever more holy to a devout pilgrim than are those white hranches to him. As a token of appreciation for the great work he had d o n e . Hahnemann gave Daddy an honorary 1VI.D. in 1891. Six years later, folf the death of Dr. Thomas, honor was mutually lowing hestowed when he hecame Professor of Anatomy. From that time until seven years ago Daddy gave of himself to Hahnemann. DLlI ing that time he was the most heloved figure on the faculty e last one to whom a newlvehatched gradua Sald !f'0dlW9--fl1C first one whom a long ahsent alumnus wished to see. His railing health has deprived us ol. the intimate friendship of this grand old man. Those ol us who know him have appreciated the extent of that loss. Nzuetecn
