OBITUARY. 
David P. Frame, M.D.C.—We very innch regret to an¬ 
nounce the death of this sterling member of our profession, 
which took place at Kansas City, Mo., almost upon his arrival 
there to accept a position as a meat inspector under the Bureau 
of Animal Industry, from broncho-pneumonia. Only a few 
days previously we had received a pleasant letter from him an¬ 
nouncing his intended change of residence and promising to 
contribute some original matter to the Review during the 
spring and summer. It appears that the doctor had suffered 
somewhat from Bright’s disease, and the excitement incident to 
his assumption of his new position, the winding up of his old 
business, etc., brought on the fatal attack. The taking off of 
this earnest man and conscientious veterinarian is especially 
sad, and we extend our respectful sympathy to his family and 
immediate friends. Dr. Frame graduated from the Chicago 
Veterinary College in 1894, was connected with the Health 
Department of the city of Colorado Springs, vSecretary of the 
Colorado State Veterinary Medical Association, and a member of 
the U. S. V. M. A. 
Theodore Birdsael, D. V. S.—This well-known veteri¬ 
narian died at his residence in New Rochelle, N. Y., the latter 
part of February. He graduated from the American in 1885, 
and for a number of years was a partner of Dr. S. K. Johnson 
in the conduct of a large city practice. Some six or seven 
years ago this partnership was dissolved. Dr. Birdsall retaining 
the office at 159 Crosby Street, and at New Rochelle, where he 
owned a country seat, and enjoyed a large practice in that lo¬ 
cality. He was a member of the Veterinary Medical Associa¬ 
tion of New York County, which appointed a committee at its 
last meeting to draw up resolutions of regret at his demise. 
Harry O. Driscoee, D. V. S.—We learn of the death of 
this young veterinarian, which occurred in February from 
phthisis. He was sick with pneumonia, when a fire occurred in 
his residence, necessitating his hurried removal, which caused 
a relapse and precipitated acute tuberculosis. He graduated 
from the American in 1889.
