His work was among the poor, giving them the best he had, never shirking the call of duty, or humanity. He was known among his associates for his integrity, ability and courtesy. Dr. Pine never owned a horse, or drove, from choice, but made visits six miles from home on foot. He died of pneu- monia, May 13th, 1882, in the house in which he was born.

THORN, JAMES. Born New Hackensack, N. Y., June 21st, 1763; Society, 1806. As a commentary on the changes in social customs, it may be noted that at Dr. Thorne's funeral the best families were repre- sented, and the bearers were leading men socially and professionally. They were so drunk that the burial was delayed two hours for them to sober up sufficiently to be able to carry the body from the house. Died New Hackensack, June 26th, 1816.

He did but three things, a puke, a purge, and a bleed, and the charge for each was two shillings. His medical library consisted of but one book, published at Montpelier in 1660, and a very curious book it is.
