NOTES FROM ALDERSHOT.-(May 8, 1907) : The following is a short account of the doings of the Royal Army Medical Corps Aldershot Football Club, during the season 1906-7. Senior Military League.-It has in every sense been a most successful season, and our matches have been greatly patronised by officers and others of the different corps in Aldershot. Five thousand spectators at a match was' common, and it speaks well for our players when we are able to write" Champions of the Senior Military League" after the name of our club. That the winning of this championship was no light task will be seen from the subjoined table. The Royal Irish Rifles reached the semi-final round of the Army Cup. The Scottish Rifles joined here with a great reputation from . The Fusiliers were unbeaten in the competition except by the Royal Army Medical Corps. Having won the Southern Division of this league we had to meet the Army Service Corps (winners of the Northern Division), a strong team, which was unbeaten in their competition, in the final. This meeting took place at Eggars Hill, Aldershot, on Saturday, April 27, and resulted in a win for the Royal Army Medical Corps by 2 goals to nil, both goals scored by Private McKeer. The cup, a handsome trophy given by H.R.H. the Duke of' Connaught, was presented at the conclusion of the match by Major-General J. M. Grierson, C.V.O., Commanding 1st Division, on behalf of General Sir J. D. P. French, General Officer Commanding. in-Chief, Aldershot Command, who was prevented by official business from being present. Results of Matches in the Senior Military League. by copyright.

Final. Winners of South = R.A.M.C. Winners of North = A.S.C. R.A.M.C. won 2-0. Charity Cup.-We were distinctly unlucky in not winning this cup, for after reaching the final with only one goal scored against us (thanks to the excellent goal keeping of Private Price), we were beaten by the 2nd Grenadier Guards by 1 goal to nil. The superior height of our opponents was greatly to their advantage, and after our left back was inju;ed, twenty minutes before the conclusion of the game, the J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-08-06-23 on 1 June 1907.

Guards scored. Up to this we had had by far the best of the play, but though shot after shot struck the uprights, cross bar, and the goal-keeper, luck was dead against us, and the final whistle blew with the Medicals still shooting at the Guards' goal. The Harwood Oup.-There were eleven entries for this Oup Oompetition. The Oup was presented by Oolonel J. G. Harwood for (Lnnual competition amongst the Companies serving at home.

The final was played at Aldershot and fought out in a most excellent spirit of healthy rivalry; the game was unmarred by a single foul, aud the losers, who really had more of the game than the score represents, deserved great credit for the splendid fight they made of it, and had nothing to be ashamed of in losing, seeing that eight of the team which won the Senior Military League (including Private McKeer, a terror to all goal keepers) played for No. 1 Coy. The Mulvany Oup.--This handsome Indian-worked silver cup, presented by the late Lieutenant-Oolonel P. Mulvany for competition amongst the Aldershot Oompanies, was won by No. 2 Coy. All men who had played three times in senior matches were barred from the competition, which took the form of a six aside knock out. First Round.-" 0" Ooy. beat" A" Ooy., 3 points to nil.

Also those officers of Oompanies not in Aldershot who have heartened the team by their letters of congratulation received by the Honorary Secretary, and read to the members of the team. Letters of this description have been received from officers at home and abroad, showing the very wide interest taken in the doings of what we may call our" Regimental Team."

" NOTES FROM WOOLWICH.-Lieutenant-Oolonel J. S. Davidson,' R.A.M.O., writes (May 10, 1907); "An Officers' Weekly Meeting was initiated at Woolwich by' Colonel W. Babtie, V.O., O.M.G., aud the first was held at the Royal Herbert Hospital on October 13, 1906. These meetings, though primarily clinical in character, are, however, also used ,as a medium for discussing administrative and other matters of interest to the medical officers of the garrison. When first iJtstituted, the meetings were held on Saturdays at 12 noon. Latterly, the meetings have taken place on J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-08-06-23 on 1 June 1907.

Thursdays. Cases of clini'cal interest are brought forward by the officers of the Medical and Surgical Divisions. Cases, including women and children, are also shown by officers doing duty· with the troops, and by the Medical Officer in Charge Royal Military Academy. 'fhe cases are generally seen in the officers' library, where the meetings take place. Bedridden patients are examined in the wards. Not only have these meetings been found useful from a professional point of view, but they also form a reunion of all the medical officers; and thus, weekly at least, we of the Royal Herbert Hospital have the pleasure of seeing other officers doing duty in the garrison, whom otherwise we would seldom meet. Till these meetings were instituted· one could scarcely have appreciated the large amount of interesting clinical material available in the hospital and garrison. The interest of the officers has been aroused, and in more than one instance, valuable suggestions affecting diagnosis and treatment have been elicited. Notes are taken of the cases brought forward for discussion and the following is a resume of two of the meetings. At one of the meetings the following cases were shown :- "(1) The new surgical and medical field panniers were examined, and some points of detail criticised; (2) Major T. H. C. Goodwin, D.S.O., Royal Military Academy, showed a case of ascites in which hydrocele' on the right side had appeared as a result of a sudden strain received in trying to stop a runaway horse. The man had been previously suffering from cirrhosis of the liver and ascites. The case was of interest as showing that the man had snffered from an imperfectly-closed funicular process which had yielded to the strain, and thus allowed communication with the peritoneal cavity. The contents of the hydrocele could be easily pressed back into the peritoneal cavity; (3) Lieutenant-Colonel M. W. O'Keeffe bronght forward a case of neurasthenia with marked pulsation of the abdominal aorta. No signs or symptoms of aneurysm present. The man was very thin, and of a hysterical type; (4) Lieutenant­ ColonelO'Keeffe also showed a case of tricuspid valvular disease; (5) Major M. P. C.

Holt, D. S.O., showed two cases of malignant disease. One, a case of sarcoma in a man by copyright. in whom the primary growth, which originated immediately below the centre of the left clavicle, had been removed while in Canada as a deserter twelve months previously. A recurrence had now taken place above the clavicle, and the growth, which extended from the second cervical vertebra down into the mediastinum, had been removed by Major Holt. In the left axillary space was a bunch of glands which had not been dealt with at the time of the operation, consisting of a n;tass the size of a large hen's egg, and adherent to the chest wall. The man was given injections of Coley's fluid in doses varying from ~ to 3 minims, and the glands had rapidly shrunk to a quarter of their former size and were freely movable on. the thorax. [These glands were removed at a la,ter date, and, though much reduced in size, were found to be sarcomatous.] The other case, also shown by Major Halt, was one of malignant disease of the jaw, stated to have originated after the removal of some molar stumps in the left upper jaw. http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ " At another meeting the following cases were brought forward: (1) By Lieutenant­ Colonel O'Keeffe: a soldier admitted October 23, 1906, with high fever, flushed face, intense headache, and who attributed the cause of his illness to his having eaten some bad fish the previous night. On October 24, crepitations over apex of left lung; base clear, sputum thick and muco-purulent, and full of pneumococci, streptococci, and staphylococci. Became very seriously ill, in a hectic condition, and sputum absolutely purulent, but no feetor of breath present. Gradual improvement and now recovering rapidly. The .majority of the meeting considered the disease as apical pneumonia in an enfeebled man, which had broken down and ended in abscess. An interesting discussion on other cases with similar symptoms took place, one of which was stated to have been due to a mediastinal abscess which had burst into the trachea; (2) Major Goodwin, Royal Military Academy, showed a case for diagnosis. A woman with a tumour evidently adherent to the right side of the ilium. She first noticed the tumour

thirteen months previously when pregnant. Pregnancy and delivery at full time on October 1, 2021 by guest. Protected without complications. After a discussion, and eliminating all other possible tumours in this region, the general opinion was that it was a fibroma, or fibro-myoma, growing from the inner surface of the ilium, and that though no urgent indications for removal were now present, it was a case in which operation was advisable; (3) Slides of diphtheria bacilli under different staining conditions were shown; (4) Captain J. Matthews showed a case of internal strabismus (alternating), successfully operated upon; (5) Major Holt showed a case of loose body in right knee-joint due to a sudden twist of the knee three weeks previously, and which was very difficult ,to locate. The causation in this and other cases was discussed; (6) Captain Matthews showed a case of perforating wound of scle~otic, caused by playing the game of throwing darts at J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-08-06-23 on 1 June 1907.

134 a target. One had deflected from the target and entered the patient's eye. No serious disability was expected to result in this case. Some most interesting cases of sarcoma and the results of treatment of this disease by injections of Ooley's fluid have been shown-Major Holt is, I believe', collecting data for a paper on this subject." NOTES FROM BANGALORE, INDIA.-Lieutenant J. H. Douglass, R.A.M.C., writes (April 10, 1907): "Lieutenant-Colonel McCreery has left us for Shahjahanpur, and we have now Lieutenant-Colonel Lucas as Officer Commanding Station Hospital. " The snipe. shooting is nearly over now, but whilst it lasted the Mess were seldom without snipe for hazri, the shikarries being Colonel Lucas, Captain Kelly, Lieutenants Douglass, and Fawcett. "The hospital team was entered for the Spencer Association Football Cup, and, although it met one of the strongest teams in the first round, it managed to put up a good fight, and had hard luck to lose by 2 goals to nil. Five officers played: Oaptain Meldon, Captain Kelly, Lieutenant Douglass, Lieutenant Authonisz, and Lieutenant Leslie, I.M. S. Captain Kelly is now busy training a hockey team for the Spencer Cup. "The sanitary class, consisting of one Royal Army Medical Corps officer and six Indian Medical Service officers, is with us now and is getting splendid value, Bangalor(l being a very excellent place for a sanitation class, as we have both civil and military sanitation alongside of each other. .. We have had several cases of enteric fever and a few deaths, all of which have been uninoculated cases. Lieutenant Fawcett has inoculated over three hundred of the 14th Hussars, and there has only been one case since the regiment arrived in October last, and that was in an uninoculated man, who died in the second week of the disease." NOTES FROM MOOLTAN, PUNJAB.-Captain R. L. Argles, R.A.M.C., writes (April 10, 1907): "Lieutenant-Colonel J. D. Reckitt, lately S.M.O., has gone home on six months' leave, and Lieutenant-Colonel J. Fallon has taken his place. Captain Argles goes at the end of April to Khyra Guli in command of the Station Hospital by copyright. there. Captain Ellis has already gone to Dalhousie for duty at the Station Hospital. The Royal Army Medical Corps were' at home' at the gymkhana race meeting, which was the last function of the Mooltan week." NOTES FROM POONA.-Captain J. F. Martin, R.A.M.C., writes (April 10,1907) :­ " The Poona annual regatta is just over, and as the two Medical Services have done so well, a short account of our doings may be of interest to readers. For the last few years it has been customary for the Royal Army Medical Corps and Indian Medical Service to combine and put in a four and an eight for the Regimental Fours and Eights. Two years ago the Medical boat won the Service Fours, but this is the first year that we

have won both events. The following extracts from the Indian Field of February 21, http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ give an outside view of the races :- " 'The best race of the day, however, was undoubtedly that between the sappers and the doctors for the regimental eights. The doctors' crew started at a disadvantage in that both stroke and No. 7 had already had a regular gruelliug in the challenge fours, in addition to which their gallantry had impelled them to take part in the mixed doubles also. Stroke, of the sappers' boat, had also stroked the Poona four, but had wisely stood down during the second event. The doctors drew the Kirkee Station, and at once assumed a slight lead, which they maintained throughout a regular hammer· and. tongs race. Up to the quarter mile it was anybody's race, but there the sappers narrowly avoided fouling their opponents and lost a lot of ground in oonsequence. They made a plucky effort to reo over it, however, and were only beaten by a short half length, after as close a race as one could wish to see. Medical Services: C. D. Hol­ brooke (bow), Captain W. Jones, T. C. Lucas, Captain J. F. Martin, Major Hinge, Lieutenant·Colonel G. E. Fooks, F. H. Noke, J. Cunnin&ham (stroke), Mrs. Martin

(cox).' on October 1, 2021 by guest. Protected " , Three crews turned out for the Service Fours, the race providing somewhat of a surprise, as while the 114th Mahrattas were commended for their sporting spirit in making up a crew, the race was popularly supposed to be between the sappers and the dootors. After a great race, however, the doctors just landed the yerdict from the 114th, with the sappers third. It was a bare half-length victory, and as was the case in the Regimental Eights on the first day, "it was the steerers as did it." The sappers drew the Kirkee Station, whioh was all against them on account of the shallow water on that side; the 114th were in the oentre and the doctors on the Poona side. The centre boat maintained a slight lead, though steering erratically, until opposite the lawn, when the doctors came with a well· timed spurt and beat them on the post by half a J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-08-06-23 on 1 June 1907.

135 length. Crew: Major Hinge (bow.), Lieutenant·Colonel Fooks, F. H. Noke, J. Cunningham (stroke), Miss Fooks (cox.).' "Two of our number, Mr. F. H. Noke, R.A.M.C., and Mr. J. Cunningham, LM.S., were selected to represent Poona against Secunderabad in the Challenge Fours. As the Secunderabad crew included two old 'Varsity Blues, it was no wonder Poona was beaten, though our people put up a very plucky race. Mr. F. H. Noke, partnered by Miss Fooks, won the Mixed Double Sculls after a most exciting race. Miss Fooks is the daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel Fooks, LM.S., to whose keenness in keeping us together we in no small way owe our success this year. In the Oxenham Double Sculls, Mr. Noke, partnered this time by Mr. Graham, 121st Pioneers, surprised us all by beating Messrs. Rowly and Sanderson, both old Blues, who were, of course, hot favourites. The silver cup won by the Eight has been sent to the Royal Army Medical College Mess, while the Challenge Cup won by the Four and held by us for the year has been sent to our Mess at Bangalore." NOTES FROM SECUNDERABAD.-Captain R. H. MacNicol, R.A.M.C., writes (April 11, 1907) : "The General Officer Commanding the Division, Sir J. Wolfe-Murray, inspected the Station Hospital on 9th inst., and seemed pleased with all he saw. At present the hospital is undergoing many structural alterations and improvements, and bricks and mortar were strongly in evidence. Notwithstanding the unavoidable dust, the upper and lower divisions bore a very smart and tidy appearance, and the General entered minutely into many details. "The new library and reading room will shortly be finished and should prove a great boon to the patients. "The general health of the troops is good, and the weather wonderfully cool as compared with this time last year. "Lieutenant-Colonel Freyer, C.M.G., and Captain Harding have left us, each on six months' leave to England, and Major Hale, D.S.O., has arrived for duty from Rangoon. Lieutenant-Colonel Battersby arrived on March 12 and has assumed by copyright. command of the Station Hospital, and also taken over the duties of Senior Medical Officer, 9th Division, from Lieutenant-Colonel O'Sullivan, who reverted to the Northern Command. We have also got a new Cantonment Magistrate, Major Wake, who is as energetic over sanitary matters as our commanding officer is. Between them I can see that we juniors will have a busy time. "General Hamilton, Commanding 9th Division, has just returned from a ten days' shoot, and has had the exceptionally good luck to bag three fine tigers. In my next notes I hope to be able to tell you what onc of our own junior officers has done, as, having drawn one of the best shoots, he is away with' great expectations.'''

" When the time approached for my discharge difficulties arose with regard to future occupation in civilian life, and I found that it was hard to find work and good wages at home. I decided that it would be for the best to invest my savings in a passage to Oanada, fitting myself with necessary articles as far as means would allow. This I did, arriving in Toronto to try my luck on January 28, 1907, after a rough passage across. "Oonsidering this is the most unfavourable time of tbe year, snow being on the by copyright. ground and the thermometer registering about 10° below zero, I was very fortunate in securing a situation practically within ten days of my arrival, which I think will give one a good idea that work can more easily be obtained than in England, especially by men leaVing the Service, who find it so difficult to secure suitable situations. But it should be borne in mind that men should take the first offer that comes along, in order to pay their way for the first few months until they can obtain something more suitable. "I have found that the majority of Englishmen who come here to settle try to impress the Oanadians that the English bave a better way of doing things; this is a great mistake which is soon remedied, and it proves far better to hear, see and learn as much as one can and say little concerning English methods, &c. " As far as the prospect of work is concerned, better opportunities are offered people http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ to go west of Ontario. Toronto is very much crowded with English people, and there are quite a few unable to obtain work in this city straight away. I would advise any of my late comrades intending to come to Oanada to book passage right through to the Western Provinces. I am, myself, waiting a suitable opportunity to proceed further West. " I know that limited means usually prevent many men going to the colonies, but £12 is quite sufficient to secure a passage here, including railway journey on landing, and allows enough to secure board and lodging for a few weeks whilst seeking work. " As regards clothing, I would advise men to supply themselves witb a good stock of warm underclothing. Service shirts, socks, drawers and boots especially prove very valuable, and, indeed, are much coveted by the working classes here. One good suit, in addition to working clothes, is all that is absolutely necessary in beginning life here, as one finds that it is far the best to adopt Oanadian styles, even in clothing. In fact,

the sooner one forgets English ways, &c., tbe quicker one will succeed." on October 1, 2021 by guest. Protected QUEEN ALEXANDRA'S IMPERIAL MILITARY NURSING SERVICE.

REGISTER FOR INDIAN SERVANTS. FEW officers on going to India have not experienced the difficulty of getting good servants. The discomforts on arrival and of a long journey up country, unprovided with a bearer, or, what is worse, provided with a hastily selected man, taken haphazard from the crowd of indifferent or bad characters who congregate in Bombay, have fallen to the lot of most of us, whilst the period of trial and vexation until a proper staff of servants is secured is familiar to us all. In our Corps, with regular annual reliefs, it should not be difficult to arrange for an interchange. Officers leaving India would then be able to provide places for the good and tried retainers they are relinquishing, and new arrivals would, by taking on these men, be spared many of the worries and troubles which now befall them. Further, http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ good servants would not be lost to the Corps, and the prospects of continuous employ­ ment could not fail to have attraction for the better class of men. With these ends in view, officers due home from India are requested to communicate ,to the Journal particulars of servants whom they can recommend, so that officers going out in relief may have an opportunity of securing these men. The particulars required are :- (1) Class of servant. (2) Whether for bachelor or married officer. (3) District or station to which he belongs. (4) Any special recommendations. NOTE.-The date the officer leaves India should also be stated, and when and where the servant will be available. on October 1, 2021 by guest.

A MARTYR TO DUTY. WITHIN the last day or two, at Jalapahar, in far off India, another young officer of the Royal Army Medical Corps has laid down his life at the call of duty. Pneumonic plague was introduced into this little hill station by the hospital assistant in charge of the Oantonment Hospital, Darjeeling. He had been to see a case, which was suspicions, a few hundred yards away. Two days afterwards he sickened and died within forty. eight hours of being attacked. Then the Hospital Dispenser got ill and also died. After him the bheesti who had helped to nurse these cases got attacked and died in the same day. Captain H. H. Swanzy, R.A.M.O., who had looked after these three cases, then also contracted the disease, and in spite of every attention he breathed his last after forty-eight hours. Thus has another devoted member of the Oorps, knowing, as he did, the awful risk he had in attending these cases, and knowing what his duty was, did it faithfully to the end. Long may the Oorps produce these heroes that live up to the motto-In arduis fidelis. We should be and are proud of them. It is pleasing to remark that one good woman and three British soldiers of the Middlesex Regiment, knowing the risks that they ran, bravely volunteered to nurse our comrade when he was stricken down, and did their duty like British soldiers always do.

OBITUARY. SURGEON·GENERAL SIR JOSEPH FAYRER, BART., K.O.S.L, M.D., LL.D., Extraordinary to H.M. the King. THE death of this distinguished officer of H.M.'s Indian Medical Service took place at 'Falmouth on May 21, at the ripe age of 82. Sir ·Joseph Fayrer's career was a very eventful one. He was born at Plymouth on December 6, 1824. His father was a Oommander in the Royal Navy, and his mother belonged to a Lancashire family of Wilkinsons. Oommander Fayrer was wounded at Oorsica in taking a privateer, and obliged in consequence to resign the Service. He subsequently held important corn· mands in the mercantile marine, which compelled frequent change of residence. This circumstance, while it expanded his son's field of experience, rendered his education somewhat varied. At the age of 16 he turned his attention to engineering, and at 17, after having at an earlier age declined the offer of an appointment as midshipman in the Royal Navy, he went to sea as an apprentice in a line of steamers trading between London and the West Indies. After three voyages he gave up the sea and resumed his I studies under a tutor at Southampton. At the age of 19 he went to , where 'r his father held an office connected with the convict settlement, and becoming acquainted with the medical officers in charge of the naval hospital, took an interest in their work and began to study anatomy, dressing and compounding. Resolved to enter the medical by copyright. profession he proceeded to London, and in 1844 joined the Oharing Oross Hospital, where he passed three diligent aud successful years, and in 1847 obtained the diploma of the Royal Oollege of Surgeons. In the same year he gained a commission in the Royal Navy, but after a few months' service at Haslar h'e resigned his commission in order to accompany Lord Mount Edgcumbe on a prolonged continental tour. This gave him an opportunity of visiting many interesting places, and practising military surgery at Palermo and Rome during the struggles of the time. He studied medicine at Rome, and obtained the M.D. of that University. He also became a proficient in the Italian language. At Albano he made the acquaintance of Lady Malcolm, who was subsequently instrumental in obtaining for him an appointment in the Indian Medical Service. This happened in June, 1850, but intermediately after parting with Lord http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ Mount Edgcumbe, he served for four months in the Artillery at Woolwich; so that he nnderwent the rare experience of belonging to three services-the Royal Navy and the l British and Indian Armies. Arriving in Oalcutta in October, 1850, he served for short periods at Dum.Dum, ; Chinsurah, Oherrapunjee in the Khasia Hills, and Dacca, where he had a variety of I exciting adventures and found opportunities of making practical acquaintance with fever, cholera, and other tropical diseases. In March, 1852, he was appointed Field Assistant·Surgeon in the Burma Oampaign, which ended in the capture of Rangoon. He obtained charge of the field hospital and was appointed Medical Store.keeper, and acquitted himself so well that after serving for a short time as Civil Surgeon of Rangoon, and volunteering for Pegu, he obtained from Lord Dalhousie, as a reward for good work, the important appointment of Residency Surgeon at Lucknow, with which was con· joined the office of Superintend,ent of the King's Hospital and Postmaster, and sub.

sequentlyof Honorary Assistant Resident. He joined in September, 1855, was married on October 1, 2021 by guest. Protected in October to a daughter of Brigadier.General A. Spens, and in February, 1856, witnessed the deposition of the King of Oudh. He served successively under Sleeman, Outram, Ooverley Jackson, and Henry Lawrence. , He settled comfortably in Lucknow with every prospect of prosperity until the mutiny came. The events which preceded the siege of Lucknow and the thrilling circumstances of the siege, and of the two reliefs, are detailed at length in his auto' biography. He bore a large share of the labours and perils of the memorable drama, and acted a gallant and most humane and useful part, for which he was publicly men· tioned in despatches and received the thanks of Government and a step of brevet rank, also the mutiny medal and Lucknow clasp, war batta and twelve months' prize money. He also got a medal and clasp for Burma. These rewards were nobly but dearly earned and were counterbalanced hy ~erious anxieties, damaged health and material lo~ses'.

He returned to ,England t() 'recruit his health in March, 1858, and after travelling about, for a time he settled in Edinburgh and took medical classes in the University.

He won the confidence and respect of all classes, and busied himself with unstinted energy in professional, scientific, and philanthropic pursuits. Two episodes of importance occurred during this period. One was the experimental study of snake venom, commenced in 1867, and resulting in the publication of a magnificent work entitled "The Thanatophidia of India," issued in 1871. The other was the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh in 1870, whom he accom­ panied as medical adviser throughout his tour in the Upper Provinces. He also served for a time as Lord Mayo's personal physician, and when that nobleman was assassinated in February, 1872, he rendered important help in embalming his remains. He was selected as President of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, of the Bengal branch of the British Medical Association, and as President of the Medical Faculty of the University of Oalcutta, of which he was appointed a Fellow. His return to England was caused by ill health due to his arduous labours in a trying climate. Shortly after arriving in London he was appointed member of the Medical Board at the India Office, and in December, 1874, he resigned the service and sllcceeded Sir James Ranald Martin as President of that Board, with the rank of Surgeon-General-an office which he retained till January 8, 1895, a period of twenty years, during which he spent a life full of useful energy. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Oollege of , and engaged in practice as a consulting physician.

was a life Governor of Epsom Oollege, and Governor of Wellington Oollege and the by copyright. Gordon Boys' Home. He attended several congresses at home and abroad, and took An active and prominent part in their proceedings. His advice was sought by the India Office and other public authorities, and his opinions, freely an'd fearlessly given, were always received with respect. In 1875-6 he accompanied the Prince of, Wales (King Edward VII.) as medical adviser, throughout his tour to India-a responsible undertaking, which he fulfilled with tact and judgment. He was created a K.O.S.I. in February, 1876, having in 1868.been made O.S.I., and was elected an F.R.S. in April, 1877, an F.R.O.S.Eng. and LL.D. of Edinburgh University in the same year, an LL.D. of the University of- St. Andrews in 1889. He was also made a Ph. D. by the University of Padua and a Fellow of the Oollege of Physicians, Philadelphia. In 1871 he was appointed Honorary Physician to Her Majesty the Queen; in 1874, Physician in Ordinary to the Duke of Edinburgh; and on his return from the Indian http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ tour an Honorary Physician to the Prince of Wales.

In 1897 he was made a Knight of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. These dignities and decorations indicate the estimation in which he was so deservedly held at home and abroad on account of his character, talents, attainments, and indefatigable industry in promoting professional and scien- tific pursuits. , Fayrer was a man of short stature, firm build and strong features. He was an ardent sportsman, and specially fond of big game shooting, in which he frequently

indulged in India. He was devoted to yachting and fishing, and engaged in these on October 1, 2021 by guest. Protected pursuits up to the last.

146 husband and parent, loyal to his profession and to his Service. On two occasions, when strong pressure was brought on the authorities of the India Office to discontinue the admission of young Indian surgeons into the Army Medical School, he used his influeuce with Her Majesty Queeu Victoria to thwart a measure which he considered harmful to the Indian Medical Service. He was a fluent and effective speaker, and a prolific writer. His style was, like himself, simple and to the point, and his matter always instructive. He delivered the Lettsonian Lectures in 1881, and the Croonian Lectures in 1882. He embodied the results of his surgical experiences in Calcutta in two interesting volumes, and wrote many lectures, books, and articles on tropical diseases. He also wrote an interesting life of his predecessor, Sir J. R. Martin, and a few years ago published an auto­ biography, in which the incidents of his life and career are narrated in a character­ istically honest and straightforward manner. During the last two years Sir Joseph Fayrer has lived at Falmouth, the climate of which he found to be favourable as regards bronchial troubles, to which he and Lady Fayrer were subject. It was to a serious attack of this nature, caused by .l chill, that his death was due. He leaves behind him a widow, four sons, and' a daughter. His death will be a cause of sorrow to a very wide circle of friends, who esteemed his character and admired his excellent qualities of mind and the good use to which these were so persistently and energetically turned. He is succeeded in the baronetcy by his second son, Lieutenant-Oolonel Joseph Fayrer, R.A.M.O., his eldest son, Robert Andrew (" Little Bob"), who was wounded in the Siege of Luclmow, having died two years ago.
