There was very deep regret here last week when news was received that Dr, A. S. Porter had passed away at North Bay. For Twenty five years Dr. Porter had been one of the promiâ€" nent medical men of the Porcupinge Camp. On May 20th he left here for North Bay where he intended to esâ€" tablish a practice. The high esteein in which he was held here both in his profession and with the general public was evidenced by the fact that prior to leaving here he was the guest of honour at a dinner meeting of the Porcupine Medical Association, and was presented with a wellâ€"filled purse as a token of the regard and affection that he had won here. Whien he left here on Sunday, May 20th, he appearâ€" ed to be in good health, so it came as a shock to his wide circle of friends when it was known that he had died in St. Joseph‘s hospital, North Bay. just five days after leaving for his new scene of labour. Dr. Porter, who was 66 years of age at the time of death, graduated with distinction from McGill University in 1900, taking up the practice of his profession at Powassan, Ont., where he remained until the outbreak of the last war. He enlisted for service in the last war, going overseas with the 162nd Battalion in 1916.
