2001 Centennial Anniversary of Dr. George Leslie Mackay´s Death Stamp. Formosa(Taiwan), Rep of China.
-Block of 8 with nice lower margins–

Dr. George Leslie Mackay was born in Oxford County, Ontario, Canada in 1844.
In 1880, Dr. Mackay founded the Tamsui Mackay Hospital, which was the first Western hospital in the northern part of Taiwan, helping countless patients, especially lepers and patients living in remote areas. The hospital was the forerunner of Mackay Memorial Hospital.

Although formally Mackay wasn´t a physician, he had received medical training and provided medical care for the sick while in Tamsui, taking the opportunity to preach the gospel at the same time.

He lightened people´s suffering, for example, by employing quinine to cure malaria, or by pulling the teeth of those with dental maladies.

By his own count, he pulled 21,000 teeth over 20-odd years, leaving those who had previously been tortured by toothache
with a "tooth missing, hard to forget" sense of grateful remembrance.

And as a missionary, Dr. Mackay never stopped teaching about Christianity, preaching the spirit of love and devotion to Christ. In addition, to enhance the welfare of farmers and raise agricultural production, he introduced seeds of many kinds of vegetables, fruits and flowers from Europe and America to Taiwan. Through other missionaries and believers, he encouraged farmers to plant these seeds, making a major contribution to Taiwan´s agriculture.
