Hé seemed to have an inexhaustible fund of information, not merely 
about his own special lines of work, but covering the widest range of 
subjects. The marvel was how in his busy life he had acquired so much 
and such varied knowledge. For one of apparently delicate constitu- 
tion, his powers of enduring prolonged physical exertion were as 
remarkable as his capacity for continuous mental activity. He was at 
work at his office until two days before his death, the immediate cause 
of which was capillary bronchitis. The secret of Dr. Dawson’s wide- 
spread popularity, no doubt, lay in his downright unselfishness and in 
his sunny and sympathetic nature.
