The New City Physician

The commoB council at its meeting on Monday evening, ainong other important business elected Dr. David M. Cowie city physician. Dr. Cowie's fitness for the position is admitted by all who know him, but we presume what had great weight with the city couucil was the kindly consideration and treatment which the Dr. bas shown for the very class of people with whoin be will have to deal in the discharge of his duties as city physician. Dr. Cowie is at present assistaht to Dr. H. Doek, who occupies the chair of the Theory and Practice of Medicine in the University. Dr. Vaughan and Dr. Doek both recommended Dr. Cowie in the very highest terms to the aldermen for the position, and the selection seems to meet with universal approval. All who know the Dr. speak of him in the liighest terms, both as a physician and citizen. Dr. Cowie's work in the University Hospital for the past two or three years have given him a wide and valuable experience which will serve him well in the discharge of his dnties as city physician.
