OBITUARY. 
JAMES BRODIE, V.S. 
On the 17th August at Canon City, Colorado, occurred 
the death of Jas. Brodie, V.S., at the age of 32. 
Dr. Brodie was a native of Canada, and graduated from 
the Montreal Veterinary College in 1883 a t the head of his 
class, and immediately thereafter became junior partner of the 
* firm of Williams & Brodie, of Bloomington, Ill. 
In the fall of 1884 he accepted the position of veterinarian 
to the Hawiian Government and removed to Honolulu, H. I. 
where he promptly made his influence felt by his energetic 
and judicious action in the control and extirpation of glanders, 
which was causing fearful ravages among the horses and 
mules of the little kingdom at the time of his arrival. 
After a comparatively brief residence in Honolulu it was 
found that tuberculosis had fastened itself upon him and in 
1887 he found it neeessary to quit the Hawiian Islands, and 
after a fruitles search for health in California and Colorado, 
finally succumbed to the dread disease. His brief residence 
in Illinois gave but little opportunity for many to learn of his 
worth. To his few acquaintances he was known as a genial, 
noble-hearted gentleman, an earnest and skillful veterinarian, 
and, had he lived, would undoubtedly have attained an envi¬ 
able position in his profession. W. L. W.
