1st. c. medical society. 207 battle field and made his escape. With one arm crushed, and carried in a sling he helped to defend the wagon train of the retreating army. In the ranks again at Spottsylvania Court-house, he was taken a prisoner, and confined for more than a year at Fort Delaware. When liberty was offered him, he was one of the few men who would not take the oath of allegiance until lie was absolutely certain that there was not a confederate soldier under arms. When this boy returned to his beloved Southland, lie read medicine, and located in Granville County, of this State. For thirty-five years the same heroic spirit that was shown on thirtv-five battle fields has manifested itself in the devotion to the practice of medicine. Time and time again, to reach the bedside of the sick and suffering, he has faced the night and storm, wind and rain, hail and sleet. He has been swept down the current of swollen streams, capsized in the mud, lost in the woods, beset by highwaymen, deprived of meals, and yet "alert from the wells of sleep/' has carried hope and buoyancy into the sick-room wherever he has gone. And this man, who is but a type of the true Southern physician ; who has clone no more for suffering humanity than thousands of others have done, are still doing and will continue to do in the future; this man who has answered the cry of the widow and the orphan in the spirit with which he answered his country's call to arms, this man has not gone to his eternal reward, but is none other than my old friend, Dr. Samuel D. Booth, who is now sitting in our midst. And now, my friends, let me beg of you that you will consider every patent medicine known to you; every Homeopath, Osteopath, Faith Curist, Christian Scientist, quack and charlatan: let your mind run the entire gamut of claimants of power over disease, and weigh them in the balances with the names of O'Hagan, Grissom, Strudwick, the elder Payne, J. W. Booth, Wood, Thomas Pittman, Cheatham and Tucker, and tell me which of these two classes of beings is most worthy of the confidence of a community.
