EDWIN TIMPSON BRUCE, M. D., is among the successful physicians of the
younger class.  He was born in New York city on March 22, 1880, and is the
son of W. M. and Emily C. (Westerberg) Bruce, both natives of New York
city, the father a descendant of Scotch ancestry and the mother of English
parentage.  W. M. Bruce is a graduate of Columbia College, and was a
successful practitioner in the profession of law on Wall street for thirty
years, being now retired.
     Dr. Bruce acquired his early education in the New York city schools,
took a further course at Temple College, Philadelphia, from which he
received the degree of B.S. in 1897.  He then entered the Jefferson Medical
College at Philadelphia, in which he spent three years and finally won his
graduation degree of Doctor of Medicine from the medical department of
Centre University, Kentucky, in 1905.  While he was at the Jefferson
Medical College and at Centre College he spent eighteen months at the
Germantown Hospital, Philadelphia.
     Having acquired a thorough knowledge of the duties of his profession
the Doctor began active practice in Louisville in 1905, as a general
practitioner, also making a specialty of X-ray diagnoses, the only
physician in Louisville engaged in that special line.  In connection with
this work he is Radiographer to the University of Louisville and the
Louisville City Hospital, and is on the staff of the Home of the
Incurables.
     Dr. Bruce is a member of the Jefferson County Medical Society, the
Mississippi Valley Medical Society, the Society of Physicians and Surgeons
of Louisville, the Louisville Academy of Medicine, the Louisville Clinical,
and Kentucky State Medical Society and the American Medical Association,
and is also a member of the Phi Chi, Greek letter fraternity.
     Dr. Bruce married Isa Robertson, of Philadelphia, the daughter of
James Robertson, a Scotchman who graduated as a physician from Edinburgh
University and is now in mercantile business at Philadelphia.  To the
Doctor and wife has been born one son, Alfred Eli.  The promise of the
future for Dr. Bruce, judging from the record of the past, contains a
vista that is most encouraging and promises a certain fulfillment.
