Presidency, and has been succeeded by some of the most distinguished surgeons in the South. He was for a number of years the senior member of the Executive Committee, and has lived to see it become one of the most flourishing scientific bodies of its time, and also to see his son become one of its executive officers. In 1892 he was elected President of the Nashville Academy of Medicine, and in 1893 one of the honorary Presidents of the PanAmerican Medical Congress. He has been a faithful and unusually active and successful practitioner of medicine, and during the last ten or fifteen years he has devoted most of his attention to surgery, in which he gained considerable fame throughout the South.

But amid the strenuous and constant duties incident to his calling he found time to devote to the teaching of his profession to thousands of students throughout the entire West and South, who will mourn his loss and revere his memory.

He was married to Miss Martha Douglass, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Elmore Douglass at Gallatin, in 1859, and their daughter, Mrs. J. Y. Crawford, survives them. He married Miss Jane Douglass, a distant cousin of his first wife, in 1870, and besides his widow leaves two sons, Dr. W. D. Haggard, Jr., of this city, and Dr. Douglass Haggard, of New York.

At a special called meeting of the Nashville Academy of Medicine a committee composed of Drs. Deering J. Roberts, J. R. Buist, W. A. Atchison, A. M. Trawick and Jas. B. Stephens submitted the following resolutions, which were adopted unanimously by a standing vote:

"WHEREAS, the laying down of life's burden and its cares is a destiny that will come to us all; yet to but few of our many associates in the past has it been granted to live and serve beyond the allotted "three score years and ten;" and recognizing that our esteemed associate and friend was given the grand privilege to him, and the boon to so many who had confided in his skill during a full half century, in which he had the opportunity of witnessing the most remarkable advances and progress along all lines in the science and art he loved so well; yet keeping pace step by step with its many wonderful and truly marvellous achievements, never having grown old in so beneficent a cause, but to the day of his death ever an earnest, ardent, most zealous and faithful student, his enthusiasm never flaggiug, his intense interest and devotion never halting, and at all times alert, energetic and honest in the exercise of his skill in the interest of suffering humanity, a faithful follower of his Divine Master and his beloved disciple Luke, even unto the end.

"Therefore, we record the death of Dr. Wm. D. Haggard, Sr., with deepest regret, kindly tempered with vivid, lasting and pleasant recollections of the worth and merit of our esteemed

associate; and can rejoice that the inevitable shock was so long delayed and that he lived in the full enjoyment of his many excellent faculties of heart and mind to within such a brief period of his decease.

"Resolved, that we appreciate the wholesome and hearty interest he ever manifested in regular organized medicine; whether in local, State, National or special organization, to each and every one of which he was always most faithful, sincere, zealous and ethical; and that we will ever cherish the memory of his many excellent qualities, and emulate the honorable, professional and social reputation he enjoyed as our professional associate and a good citizen.

"Resolved, that this brief record of his worth and tribute to his memory be placed on the minutes of the Nashville Academy of Medicine, of which he was an active and organic member and an ex-President; and that a copy be furnished to his family, to whom he was a fond, loving and devoted head, and to the medical journals of this city, whose pages he had illumined and adorned in the past.

"To his grief-stricken wife, to his saddened daughter, and to his sorrowing sons we would say in conclusion:

"It is not death to die,
Or leave this weary road,'

But

"Rest for the toiling hands;

Rest for the anxious brow;

REST for the weary, way-worn feet;

REST from all labor now.'

"For so He giveth His beloveth sleep.""

Appropriate remarks were made by quite a number of the members in attendance.

Resolutions, commemorative of his worth and the esteem in which he was held, were adopted by the Faculty of the Medical Department of the University of Tennessee, and the classes in attendance.

The funeral services were conducted at the First Baptist Church on the evening of Jan. 27 by by Rev. Lansing Burrows and J. D. Barbee, a large number of the leading citizens being present, among whom his professional associates were largely represented; and his remains were accompanied to the quiet rest of Mt. Olivet.

COMMENDABLE.-The Maltine Company has during its existence of more than 25 years consistently depended upon strictly ethical methods in building up its great business. It submits samples of its products to physicians to enable them to satisfy themselves of their therapeutic value, issues clinical records

made in the leading hospitals and by reputable physicians in private practice, and publishes dignified and effective advertisements in medical journals. All inquiries, requests for literature or samples from laymen are referred to local physicians.

Now the company has taken another step, wise and far-reaching, which will add still more to its prestige among the profession. It will in future not only refuse to supply the Maltine preparations to department stores, but will refuse to supply them to dealers who are known to sell them to department stores. This not only emphasizes the fact that the Maltine preparations are classed as standard ethical products, just as quinine, iodide of potassium, fluid extracts, etc., are, but will enable retail druggists to secure the legitimate profits which are clearly due them. We trust that our readers will duly appreciate the importance of the Maltine Company's new policy, and continue to accord it that support which its honorable and consistent methods so richly deserve.

SIXTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MEDICAL

SOCIETY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE.

The Tennessee Medical Society meets in this city April 9-10-11. The active and energetic Secretary, Dr. W. D. Haggard, has sent out a circular letter from which we quote: "Every indication points to a most interesting and important session. A great effort is being made to augment the membership of the Society. It has only 350 members out of over 2000 regular practitioners in the State. If every member would make a personal endeavor to add at least one new member at the approaching meeting, the membership would be at ouce doubled, and according to individual zeal could as easily be trebled. This is the only way increased membership and an organized power in Medicine can ever be obtained. You are therefore urged to secure at least one, and as many other new members as possible.

“The preliminary programme is being arranged, and you are earnestly requested to send in the title to your paper at once. Do not hesitate to contribute a paper on any subject that is of interest to you. It will be of great interest to the profession also. Do not delay sending the title, as we are anxious to have a full and live programme."

The usual R. R. rates of one and one-third fare for round trip has been secured. Apply for certificate at R. R. station when you pay for your ticket; this, when signed by the Secretary, will entitle you to purchase return ticket for one-third rate.

A few days off from your regular routine will benefit you and may be of incalculable benefit to others; so come along, Doctor, and bring your friends with you.

Any further information desired will be most cheerfully furnished by Drs. Malone or Elcan, of Memphis, or Dr. Deering J. Roberts, Secretary of the Association, of Nashville, Tenn.

A recent visit to Memphis elicited the fact that nothing will be left undone to provide for the comfort, enjoyment and pleasure of the survivors of the late war between the states. Every man, woman and child in Memphis is fully enthused and thoroughly aroused, with a full determination that the occasion shall be both eventful and momentous to everyone who may be so fortunate as to attend.

The doctors of Memphis will see that their end of the line is fully kept up; and with a uniform railroad rate of one cent per mile over all railroads entering that city, the attendance should surely be a feature of the occasion.

GLYCO-HEROIN (SMITH) RECOGNIZED AS A SPECIFIC IN THE TREATMENT OF COUGHS.

To M. H. SMITH, Chemist, 68 Murray Street, New York-My Dear Sir: I feel justified in congratulating you for the excellency of your preparation of Glyco-Heroin (Smith). I have used it extensively during the past year, and I have unmistakably found its action prompt and beneficial in all cases of phthisical and bronchial coughs. It is gratifying to remark that Glyco-Heroin (Smith) lacks that nauseating sweetness which accompanies most of the cough remedies. From my personal experience I recognize it as a specific in relieving all irritating coughs, and I hope your success will be as great as the relief the poor consumptives receive from it. Believe me, yours respectfully, G. MICHON, M. D.

The Martin H. Smith Co. will supply samples and literature of this valuable preparation to all physicians requiring the same. See their adv.

CLINICAL NOTES AND COMMENTS.-Dr. T. D. Crothers, editor Quarterly Journal of Inebriety, in the January, 1901, nnmber, writes; "Antikamnia has become one of the standard remedies, particularly in Influenza. It is prepared with various drugs in tablet form, the latest, a laxative tablet, with quinine and some mild cathartics, called 'Laxative Antikamnia & Quinine Tablets.' All of these forms are very attractive and palatable. We have never seen a case of addiction to antikamnia, hence we prize it very highly as one of the most valuable remedies for diminishing pain without peril. We have used it with excellent results to quiet the pain following the withdrawal of morphia. We have received from this company many complimentary notices showing the vast influence it has secured among regular practitioners. The object of the antikamnia in ‘Laxative Antikamnia & Quinine Tablets' besides its antipyretic and analgesic effect, is the prevention of all griping, nausea and other unpleasant effects generally produced by purgatives when administered alone."
