accordingly settled in Kansas, practicing his profession for several 
months, but, contracting malaria, he returned to Ellenville. With 
his health much benefitted by a rest, he settled at Paterson, N. 
J., about three years ago, where he speedily built up a lucrative 
practice. The recurrence of malaria gradually undermined his 
health, and led to the development of undoubted pulmonary 
phthisis. He refused to accede to the urgent requests of his near 
relatives to give up his business until the past summer, and then 
it was too late for rest and medical care to do more than briefly 
prolong his days. He died at his old home, Ellenville, sincerely 
mourned by members of his profession, friends and relatives. 
A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE DR. WEEKS, OF PATERSON, N. J. 
At the late meeting of the Veterinary Medical Association of 
New Jersey, the Secretary, Dr. Win. Herbert Lowe, introduced 
the subjoined resolutions, as follows : “ As the late Dr. Arthur P. 
Weeks was a worthy member of our Association, and a brother 
practitioner of my city (Paterson), I feel it my duty to take 
advantage of the present opportunity to pay a slight tribute to 
his memory. Although time had not permitted me to be inti¬ 
mately acquainted with Dr. Weeks, yet I had ample opportunity 
to learn much of his personal character and conduct. He and I 
met professionally on several occasions, and I was so impressed 
by his considerate and honorable behavior as to have often 
spoken of these good qualities in Dr. Weeks to my friends and 
acquaintances. I may add that in the coarse of my practice I 
have had a good opportunity of knowing that Dr. Weeks was 
highly respected by his clientage, and that there are many people 
in Paterson who, like myself, heard of his death with sincere 
sorrow. I therefore respectfully submit the following : 
Whereas , the late Dr. Arthur P. Weeks was a worthy member 
of our Association, therefore be it 
Resolved , That we express our sincere sorrow for the loss of 
so true a friend of veterinary science, and that we unite in deep 
sympathy with his relatives in their affliction.
