1685; d. Jan. 29, 1759].

R., where he afterward made his home. But his later years were largely devoted to other duties than those of a farmer. From the treatment of diseases of domestic ani- mals, in which he had been exceptionally successful, he passed to those of his fellows, and gained such a reputation, espe- cially in chronic ailments, that the number of patients coming from a distance caused his name to be placed upon many guideboards in the surrounding region.
