     His life, which neared the extreme Limits of the Psalmist,
          was one unbroken process of Laborious Years.
He filled Chairs in Four Medical Colleges in as many States of the Union,
                 and added Luster to them all.

     He was greatly Honored by the Learned in Foreign Lands
                   and deeply Loved at Home.
