DE. AVILLIAM SAUNDEES, C.M.G. 



On Sunday afternoon, September 13th, after an illness which had continuea 

 for nearly two years, and which for a twelvemonth had rendered him mentally 

 incapable. Dr. William Saunders passed to his rest at his home in London, Ontario, 

 in the seventy-ninth year of his age. He was horn in Devonshire, England, and 

 <'ame to Canada with his parents when a boy of twelve. His educational advantages 

 were meagre, but he succeeded in obtaining a technical training in chemistry and 

 set up in business as a retail druggist in London. His agreeable manners, thorough 

 honesty, and untiring industry brought him a fair measure of success. His love 

 of nature led him to the collection of wild plants and insects, which could be 

 found in abundance in the neighbourhood, and he became an ardent student of 

 botany and entomology. Finding many medicinal plants readily obtainable, he 

 began the preparation of fluid extracts, which were so pure and reliaWe that they 

 fioon became widely and favourably known among the medical profession, and led 

 by degrees to the establishment of an extensive and lucrative business, both whole- 

 sale and retail. Years later, when he became Director of the Experimental Farms 

 of the Dominion, the wholesale business was transferred to his eldest son, Mr. W. 

 E. Saunders, by whom it is still successfully maintained, and the retail department 

 to two of his 3'ounger sons, who, however, afterwards relinquished it for other 

 pursuits. 



During the five-and-twenty years of his business life, Mr. Saunders found time 

 for taking an active part in many other things. Besides his scientific work in 

 entomology and. botany, he took a great interest in fruit-growing, establishing a 

 farm of his own near the city, and becoming a zealous meniher of the Ontario 

 Fruit Growers'. Association, of which he was a director for many years and pre- 

 sident from 1882 to 1885. In connection with his professional work 'he was ap- 

 pointed Professor of Materia Medica in the Western University, Public Analyst 

 for Western Ontario, and President for two years of the Ontario College of Phar- 

 inacy, of which he was one of the founders. He was an active member of the 

 American Pharmaceutical Society, and Fellow of the American Association for 

 the Advancement of Science. His attendance, at tlie meetings of these societies, 

 held from year to year in various cities of North America, caused him to have a 

 widely extended friend.'^hip with notable men of all kinds, by whom he was highly 

 cr>teemed and respected.
