I was called up at 4.30
this a.m. and drove to
"Elton" arriving there after
"Minnie" had given birth to
twin girls, both "still born"
& premature: came home
via Riverside where I
prescribed for Bro. R who
is quite unwell & very
weak. Ernest came with
me to Riverside & we were
caught in a heavy rain
storm between Sunshine
& Brighton & again in
coming from Riverside
home. Afternoon I drove
to Ashton, called at
Bulwar's & prescribed for his
infant daughter.
