Symbolism
Arms
The black diamond-shapes represent coal (carbone in Italian) and thus the surname of Dr. Carbone. The X-shape suggests an hour glass and, with the diamonds, represents the accomplishments and pressures of labour and time required in Dr. Carbone’s work as both a physician and an attorney-at-law. The rod of Aesculapius represents the field of medicine.
Crest
The beaver alludes to Canada. The thistles represent Dr. Carbone’s Scottish interests. The quill pen represents his authorship on medical and legal issues.
Motto
This Latin word means “Perseverance”.
