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, 1 hope my friend will forgive me. for he insisted that I should not say too much about his work. if I ever wrote about him agiaiiii.‘ But his story is so ll-nillsllial I just couldn't keep it to myself. : R has many souvenirs. but I believe the most lugihlyi prized is a Lustre pitc:hc't‘ the MacCormacks gave ‘in after the 1910 peration. It was more than one hundred years old then and? had been an heirloom in the family." I'm not a rich man". Dr. MacDonald told me. "But there isn't enough money in the bank downtown to buy that now". 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.
