	Although Dr. Clarance H. Edmunds has practiced in Saskatoon but a
short time he has won a position among the foremost physicians and sur-
geons of the province. He was born in Arthur, Ontario, in April, 1889,
a son of Solomon and Edna (Baskerville) Edmunds, the former a native
of Smith Falls, Ontario, and the latter of western Ontario. For many
years the father was in the ministry of the Methodist church and held
many important charges in Ontario. He is now living retired in Toronto,
at the age of eighty years. Mrs. Edmunds is also living.
	In the acquirement of his preliminary education Clarance H. Edmunds
attended the public and high schools of western Ontario, and subsequently
enrolled in Toronto University. Later he became a student at Western
University, London, Ontario, and was graduated from that institution in
1913, with the M. D. degree. He came to Saskatchewan and located in
Ceylon, where he practiced for nine years. He then attended a clinic of the
Mayo Brothers at Rochester, Minnesota, and upon his return to Canada
located in Saskatoon in March, 1922. On taking up his residence here the
Doctor had no acquaintances but he possessed the genius for making and
keeping friends and today he has hosts of friends throughout the city.
He maintains well appointed offices on the ground floor of the Barry Hotel
building and has one of the best equipped offices west of the city of Winni-
peg. He has recently installed actinic ray therapy both air and water
cooled mercury quartz lamps and he has been having wonderful results
with both general and local treatments. This is the first complete set of
this kind to be operated in the province. Prior to his removal from Ceylon,
Dr. Edmunds operated a drug store there and today he has extensive
farming interests in Saskatchewan.  Dr. Edmunds is married and has
one child, Lynette, whose birth occurred on the 1st of February, 1915,
and who is attending the Havergal College at Winnipeg.
	The political allegiance of the Doctor is given to the Liberal party and
he has firm belief in the principles of that party as factors in good gov-
ernment.  He has never sought nor desired political preferment but is
ever cognizant of the duties and responsibilities as well as the privileges
of good citizenship and is never too busy to aid in the furtherance of any
movement for the benefit of the community. His religious faith is that of
the Methodist church and fraternally he is identified with the Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks. Along strictly professional lines he is identified
with the Canadian Medical Society, the Saskatchewan Medical Society and
the Saskatoon Academy of Medicine. The Doctor well merits his success
and he is held in high esteem by all who know him.
