Excerpt from The Canadian Journal of Medicine and Surgery, 1897
Mr. Vice-President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Ontario Medical Association, I should like to avail myself of this the first opportunity which has offered to thank you for the great, and so far as I know the entirely undeserved honor which you did me a year ago in electing me to the Presidency of this Association, representing as it does the Medical Profession in the large and important Province of Ontario. And though deeply sensible of the personal honor, I am, still very far from appropriating it in the personal sense. I take it that you wished to recognize and to honor the claims of the members of this Association residing in the western part of this Province; and on behalf of my confreres of Western Ontario and especially of the Huron District, I desire to thank you for your recognition and for your courtesy.
It is perhaps fortunate that the Constitution of this Association rather definitely prescribes what shall be the scope and general character of the President's annual message. I shall therefore follow the example set by a large number of my respected predecessors in this office, and confine my brief remarks to some matters of general interest at this important time in the history of the world and in the history of the great Empire to which we belong, and also to a few questions of especial interest to the members of our profession in this province at the present time.
We are meeting now and for the third time under the awful shadow of the greatest war in all the world's long history.
