By NEIL A. MATHESON Provincial-Farm Editor tin
I R1:‘.\'lSl'l’E1) recently my friend A.A. MacI.)ona'ld._ l\_lD. Civl. 195-_ smdem min15[e[_ , LD in Souris and learned something more about his i.iieresti..g 1 career. I also visited .-\.J. Maccormack. St. Margaret's whose legs NORTH TRYON and Breadal-l the doctor sewed back on 52 yeais ago. I was su*prised know bane Presbyterian Churches; that “A J.". as he is called. went to Prince of Wales College Wild inc back in the early twenties.
He was just four years old on that summer day in 1910 when be locked his little sister in the house, acid went out to stroll in ‘rhe field where his father was cutting hay with a hotrse-dr:i\vn -nower. He also recalled for me there had been "Just a bit of flesh in the back“ holding the feet and lower parts of his icgs after the mower knife had sliccd tilirough them “Dr. Gus," believes that even the Achilles tendon had been nicked by the blade. though he cannot be sure more than a half century later.
"A J." also recalled for me that hc asked his m-itiher "Why is everyone ci_w'in:'."' The child couldn't understand the extent of the disaster that had struck the MacCoi'ma-ck home.
I ASKED Dr. Gus—-that‘.-: what everyone calls him_. and it‘s term of respect and cndearrnen=i—"hoiv in the world did you ever come to tackle that unprecedented job of surgery witiioitt anyone 10.00 a_m worship 730 p_ m to help you'."‘. ' '
The answer.

Splints From Rain Barrel Slaves
DR GUS recalls that he smashed a barrel that was under the eave of the roof to catch rain water-«ihc soft water was used on wiasih days as there were no fancy detergents or soap p0WdC1‘S t'hen——sawed several stakes in two. arnn used them for splints to hold the bones sl.t'aig‘hl, after he had completed a surgery lob that required several hours.
Catgut was used to sew the tendons and most other stitching was done wit-.h silk thread he had brought from a Souris store. The ioib wasn't perfect. as Mr. Maccorrriack was always lame. but I submit it was a miracle of surgery in (those far off days. consider- ng the _iob was performed alone. in zlmving terms of limbs that are attached-—it has .cn done sev- eral times.

IN THE early days of cars he found an accident victim Rollo Bay. several miles away. with a broken arm. The doctor Dulled several boards from a paling fence for splints. pulled “soft natural grass" to tushion the bones. tied it with string and sent the man in a Charloti.ctown hospital for a complctc examination.
There's one other tliinig I didn't tell you before. Dr. Gus xvait almost equally famous for his skill in confinement cases. "I never lost a mother". he told me and many mothers were dying in the early years of his practice,

But there arc many others. An old lalble from St. Andrew’: hllege-«it preceded St. Dunst.atn's University-——graces his dining room. it's probably more than 150 years old.
