A Surgeon for All Seasons Cles, Broadsheets and Pamphlets, Often Under the Pseudonym Old Hubert tenements and factories as the Industrial Revolution gathered pace. London’s water and air became grossly contaminated, and overcrowding provided ideal conditions for diseases such as tuberculosis. Open fires, combustible clothing and dangerous manual work meant that fractures, lacerations, burns and hernias were common. The conditions Parkinson saw as he travelled on his rounds, often stricken with gout, might well have stirred his social and political awakening. He lived in turbulent times, marked by the Seven Years War, the War of American Inde- pendence and the Napoleonic Wars. High taxes to pay for these military adventures coincided with civilian unrest, influenced by the French Revolution of 1789. Parkinson became increasingly radical, advocating votes for all (at a time when approximately 2% of Britons were enfranchised), parliamentary reform, education of the poor and unfettered discussion of politics and religion. In 1792, he joined the London Corresponding Soci- MEDICAL HISTORY ety, which campaigned for parliamentary reform and promoted representation of all men.

    CODOS – Colorado Dust-on-Snow – WY 2009 Update #1, February 15, 2009 Greetings from Silverton, Colorado on the 3-year anniversary of the February 15, 2006 dust-on-snow event that played such a pivotal role in the early and intense snowmelt runoff of Spring 2006. This CODOS Update will kick off the Water Year 2009 series of Updates and Alerts designed to keep you apprised of dust- on-snow conditions in the Colorado mountains. We welcome two new CODOS program participants – Northern Colorado Water Conservation District and Animas-LaPlata Water Conservancy District – to our list of past and ongoing supporters – Colorado River Water Conservation District, Southwestern Water Conservation District, Rio Grande Water Conservation District, Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District, Tri-County Water Conservancy District, Denver Water, and Western Water Assessment-CIRES. This season we will issue “Updates” to inform you about observed dust layers in your watersheds, and how they are likely to influence snowmelt timing and rates in the near term, given the National Weather Service’s 7-10 forecast. We will also issue “Alerts” to give you a timely “heads up” about either an imminent or actual dust-on-snow deposition event in progress. Several other key organizations monitoring and forecasting weather, snowpack, and streamflows on your behalf will also receive these products, as a courtesy. As you may know, some Colorado ranges already have a significant dust layer within the snowpack. The photo below taken at our Swamp Angel Study Plot near Red Mountain Pass on January 1 shows, very distinctly, a significant dust layer deposited on December 13, 2008, now deeply buried under 1 meter of snow.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s| or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of die material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
