local and of the State Medical Societies. On one occa- sion he and Dr. P. H. Jamison were appointed on a committee to apply to the Legislature for such laws as the profession needed. In speaking of him, Dr. J. says: "I found him a hard worker, persistent and strenuous, but with all of our efforts we accomplished but little."
He met his death in 1862 in a most tragic manner. Lawrence M. Vance, a prominent citizen, died suddenly after a day or two of illness of what was undoubtedly spotted fever, although it was not recognized as such at the time; it appeared later in the community. An autopsy was had and in some way Dr. Fishback punc- tured one of his fingers; this was followed by a viru- lent blood poisoning in a few days which resulted in death. He was a devoted member of the Presbyterian Church .- Dr. Frederick C. Warfel, Indianapolis.
While a resident of Shelbyville, Dr. Fishback made a valuable "Report of the Committee on Medical Edu- cation." Trans. 1859, p. 17. Also, a second report on same subject, Trans. 1860, p. 56.
