He had built up for him-' a large and growing practice in' his home city;- and had everything1 of promise before him. Dr. Brings died" a victim of the! disease he sought to curb. The influenza was very prevalent in his' scction, and in the last month beforo he died he treated nearly four hun-, drcd cases and with remarkable sue-; cess, but when the disease attacked him, on account of his physical ex-J erlion in caring for others, he was in no physical condition to fight it, J nd after the first few days, his' c?se was known to be critical. The people of this city sympathize; vij.h his young widow, who was reared in our midst; and who is so universally liked by our people. It is ?.n awful .shadow which has. fallen' across her life's pathway, and it is a source of great grief to her friends. as well as her relatives.
