OBITUARY. 
ordered down to the maneuver camp, San Antonio, Texas, to in¬ 
spect army supplies. Growing worse he was placed in the maneu¬ 
ver camp hospital, and afterward in the Army Hospital, St. Eliza¬ 
beth, Washington, where he died. Being a mere citizen under 
our present system, although giving twenty of the best years of 
his life to the Government, a goodly part of it in the Army, his 
pay was stopped soon after he entered the hospital. Think of 
the injustice and hardship to his family, and awaken to the posi¬ 
tion of your brother veterinarians in the Army. 
NATHAN M. DRAKE, Ph.G., D.V.S. 
Nathan M. Drake, of 1308 Morris street, Philadelphia, Pa., 
passed away February 26, 1912, from cirrhosis of the liver. 
Dr. Drake had been in practice in Philadelphia for more than 
twenty-one years. Prior to entering the veterinary profession he 
had been a practicing pharmacist for more than twenty years. He 
graduated from the American Veterinary College, New York 
City, in 1890, and after one year’s practice in Brooklyn, came to 
Philadelphia and continued in active practice until a few weeks be¬ 
fore his death. 
He was considered by a large clientage as one of the most suc¬ 
cessful diagnosticians in his profession, and with his brother en¬ 
joyed a large and successful practice in the southern part of the 
city. 
Born in northern New Jersey in 1855, he was in his fifty- 
seventh year. His remains were taken to his old home for in¬ 
terment.
