      Dr. W. Nichols, Physician, Surgeon and Dentist, has since he has been an inhabitant of Baden earned a good reputation of being conscientious and prompt every time that he has been called, to endeavor to bring relief and comfort to the patient.

      On September 16 , l897 the Journal said:

      Dr. Nichols will be leaving Baden and Dr. Butler will take his place.

      On October 6th. the Volksblatt said that he left Baden with his family on September 30th., the family to stay in Markham while he was to go to Vienna for postgraduate work.

      He became a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians, London, in 1899, and of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1902.
