Interview of N.F. Tomlinson, MD, in Claremont, Ontario. Congenial country doctor who was a teacher for several years before beginning the study of medicine, in Toronto, in 1911. He interned at Gravenhurst where he tended WWI veterans, then moved to Clarermont, near his birthplace, in 1919. He served for 22 years as the Township Medical Health Officer and had a small, three-room facility in his home where he carried out minor surgery and obstetrics. In 1919 he was one of three doctors in the Township, the others being at Brougham and Pickering. "Doc" Tomlinson records some general autobiography and memories about early 20th century drugs, drug peddlers, home cures, patent medicines, difficulties of making house calls in Winter snow and Spring mud with horses and early automobiles, and advances in hygiene and medical aids, such as pasteurization to prevent high rates of infant mortality, and sulfa drugs to treat pneumonia and other killers. He recalls his classmate in medical school, Dr. Norman Bethune, and answers as best he can questions pertaining to the Mennonite families of Altona area , the Masonic organization in Brougham and Claremont, and other local history. <1h>
