Dr. James D. Wade of 252 South Ninth street, an old member of the Kings County Medical Society, died suddenly of heart disease at the house of a patient, Sunday, October 19th. He had had heart trouble for some period of time, and it was undoubtedly aggravated by the news of the death of an old-time friend of his, Dr. Thomas G. Underwood, a few hours previously. He died while writing a prescription. Dr. Wade was sixty-four years old, and was formerly one of the visiting staff of the Eastern District Hospital.
