severely chilled and his feet

Wynnewood, Okla., in 1896, and
it was there that he improved in
health, considerably and during
the great small pox epidemic
there in 1900 he was appointed
cith health physician to take
charge of the epidemic. This
was his first practice after loos-
ing his health in Texas, and he
managed the epidemic well and
was well paid for his service by
the city, but his strength would
not hold out and he did no more
practice.
Dr. Wallace and his family

had improved and he was able to
discharge the duties of the office

death, He took great pride in
the office, and discharged the
duties with splendid credit to
himself.
