| Some men labor hard through a whole lifetime, and through want or tact or
of aptness for the work they attempt, or through sheer "bad luck," fail in
everything they attempt. Some again, through some happy combination of circumstances, and
seemingly without an effort, attain to the success for which others have labored for years
in vain. Others again, like Mr. John F. Smith, V.S., of Simcoe, select the profession for
which nature designed them, and labor on unostentatiously until they attain the success
their good sense and perseverance deserve. In 1872, Mr. Smith graduated at the Ontario
Veterinary College, at the age of thirty-five, and after practising in Vittoria about a
year, he removed to Simcoe, and built a handsome residence on Market Square and opened his
present veterinary establishment. He has a comfortable and commodious stable, where he has
frequently a dozen horses under treatment. He also attends horses and cattle in all parts
of this county, and has effected several remarkable cures. A horse with a cancer in its
mouth was cured by Mr. Smith by the removal of about half of its lower jaw. Mr. Smith was
born in Lincoln, England, in 1837. |
