7G8 DR. CHARLES FOLLEN.FOLSOM. 



editorial upon Dr. Folsom which concludes as follows: "But it was 

 not as an authority on public health and on mental and nervous dis- 

 eases or as a College officer that his former patients and colleagues 

 have sought to perpetuate his name in an institution which he loved 

 so well. It was as a friend, perhaps as a host to whom entertaining 

 was a fine art, that they knew him. Wise, firm, kind, and indefatig- 

 able, he rarely departed from a sick-room without leaving his patient 

 stronger in mind, if not in body. His constant thoughtfulness of his 

 charges, in health as in illness, was unending, and many a patient owes 

 a sound mind and a sound body to Charles Folsom's sagacity, skill, 

 and loving care. Indeed, it may be said of him more truly than of 

 many physicians and of most men that he was like "rivers of water 

 in a dry place and the shadow of a great rock in a weary land."
