      Dr. Basset was the physician during the building of the canal, and did
      a vast amount of medical business; for, almost every man engaged on the canal
      was sick. Eye witnesses observe, that the scenes of suffering and distress at
      that period, were beyond conception. Dr. Colvin succeeded Dr. Basset, and still
      resides at Syracuse.
