His case pre- sented no hopeful features from the first, and the physicians labored only in dread of what they felt was an inevitable conclusion. Yester- day the patient seemed to be resting more easily, and hope began to be entertained that Possibly there might be a favorable turn. In the afternoon the change came, but for the Tape ya the Patient sank until at 1:48 he died. Baxter, Dr.Geo. E. Carson and Mr. J. J. Beardsley, chief clerk of the bureau, were in the room when the breath left the lips of the dying man. A SKETCH OF IIS CAREER. Frederick H. Baxter, surgeon general of the army, was a Vermonter by birth. He was a practicing physician in Massachusetts when the war broke out and was inted. sur- Keon of the twelfth ecovcbetitn indenters, F and scientific progress, and in July, 1967, having retained his voluntecr commission until then, he was appointed as- sistant medical purveyor of the regular army medical corps. He virtually created the office of chief medical purveyor, althongh it existed for some years prior to his appointment to it, Which veeurted in March, i872. That is, be transformed the office from one of rio import- ance whatever to one of the most active and rogressive in the medical bureau. ‘The latest evices, inventions and — discoveries of science were under his supervision tiade to produce results for the benefit of the | army, and many a step in advance was taken through his efforts. He was very 1 to the office of surgeon general two or three times rior to Lis appointment, August 16, having cen @ candidate for the position for fully a decade. On the Ist of July, 1881, the names of Dr. Baxter and Paymaster McClure were sent over to the White House for nomination as surgeon general and paymaster gexeral respectively. ‘The selection of Dr. Baxter was a personal matter with President Garfield, but just before he sent the names to the Senate a question arose as to MeCiure’s accounts—afterward re- suiting in an investigetion-and both names were retained, as it was thought desirable to send them in together. The next day. the assassin Guitean fired his fatal shot, and for weeks after the President lay was the Garfield family physician. senton the cay of the asscssination of the President and throngh hia absence Dr. Bliss acquired charge of the President's case. " ‘This was the occasion of a bitter quarrel following Dr. Baxter's return. President Arthur after- ward nominated Surgeon Crane to succeed Dr. Barnes, and Dr. Baxter was relegated to the He was once more a candidate Crane was succeeded by Dr. Murray in 1888, and aio in 1886, when Surgeon Moore was promoted. Thus there were three nomi- tions made to the surgeon generalship over his head, aud it began to look as though the re- ward for his long labors was never to come. Vhile every one recognized his wonderful and acknowledged hix superiority, his selection was deferred from time to time for various reasons until the recent retirement of Surgeon General Moore left a vacancy. Dr. Baxter leaves a widow, who was formerly Miss Tryon of Boston. There was something of romance in their courtship. Miss Tryon was visiting Mrs. Henry A. Wi nd it was While the doctor. was. professionally attending Mr. Willard that he met her. He called a g: deal more frequently thin the exigencies of the ease seemed to demand, which led the sick man to jocularly remark that there was a deal more courting going on than there was atten- tion to making him ‘well. That this surmise was true was proved by the announcement of the engagement of Dr. Baxter and Miss Tryon, and their marriage soon followed.
