THOMAS TAYLOR, M.R.C.S. ENG., L.S.A. ON Dec. 23rd there passed away one of the best-known practitioners of East Essex and one of the few now left who have served’ under the old apprenticeship system. Born in 1819, Thomas Taylor when 15 years of age was apprenticed for five years to Mr. Hester, a prominent surgeon at Abingdon. On the termination of his articles he came to London and entered at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, living whilst there in the house of Mr. Stone, the then medical officer to Christ’s Hospital. Here Taylor’s love of nature asserted itself, for he did his best to cultivate a window garden. Qualifying M.R.C.S.Eng. in 1842 and L.S.A. in 1843, he shortly afterwards obtained the appoint- ment of house surgeon at the Essex and Colchester Hos- pital, where he remained till 1853, when, being desirous of settling down, he purchased a practice in the village of Bocking, where he remained for the rest of his life. Thomas Taylor possessed a strong and attractive per- sonality and was a familiar figure in the district where he lived. He delighted in seizing opportunities for quietly and unostentatiously giving pleasure to others and he was a strong supporter of the Royal Medical Benevolent College, having acted as local secretary for some years. His pro- fessional services were highly appreciated, his practice extended over a wide district, his opinion was frequently sought in consultation by his colleagues, and he always kept himself well abreast with the advance of medical knowledge. To his patients he was the same to all alike, gentle and sympathetic; and as he knew the personal history of a large proportion of them and was gifted with sound judgment his advice was often asked on other than pro- fessional matters. Taylor’s mind was essentially a scientific one ; his interests outside his profession were in horticulture, geology, natural history, and microscopy, but particularly the first-named, for his acquaintance with gardening matters and with those interested in the same pursuit was extensive, and there are many gardens scattered over the country con- taining flowering plants the original stock of which was contributed by him. A few years back he found that he was suffering from glycosuria, on Dec. 20th lung symptoms showed themselves, on the 22nd coma set in, and the end came early and peacefully on the 23rd. The last rites were held on Dec. 27th, when a congregation which filled the parish church of Bocking assembled to express the esteem with which he had been regarded. Mr. Taylor was twice married and leaves behind him a widow, two sons, both in the medical profession, and two daughters, who have each married a medical man. Medical News.

Llanelly Rural District Council and district medical officer- of the parish of Llanelly. He was also surgeon to the collieries and a certifying factory surgeon for the district. Dr. Lowe, who had been for 18 years in practice at. Brynmawr, was very highly esteemed in the town and neighbourhood and much regret is felt there at his early death. FATAL DENTAL CASE.—An inquest was held. at Newport (Mon.) on Dec. 28th and 31st, 1900, upon the body of a collier, aged 21 years, who had died on Dec. 27th at the, dental surgery of Mr. H. W. Griffiths, L.D.S. R.C.S. Irel., of Newport, after having had 11 teeth extracted under nitrous, oxide gas and ether. According to the report which ap- peared in the Western Mail Mr. Griffiths in his evidence stated that shortly after the operation had been success fully performed the deceased sprang up in the chair and gasped. Mr. Griffiths felt for an obstruction. in the throat, but could find none. He applied artificial, respiration and a medical man was fetched. A post-mortem examination showed that one of the sponges which had been. used was fixed in the windpipe. Mr. Griffiths’s female attendant stated that she believed she had taken out all the sponges from the patient’s mouth.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING CASE.—On Dec. 28th, at the Gravesend police-court, Henry Parry, the master of the steamship Montery, was summoned by the corporation of London, as the port sanitary authority, for an infringement of the by-laws made under the Public Health (London) Act,. 1891, in failing to report to the medical officer of health on his arrival at Gravesend a case of dangerous infectious disease-viz., typhoid or enteric fever. Mr. Lewis Noad represented the owners, Messrs. Elder, Dempster, and Co., of Liverpool, and Mr. T. Vickery, the assistant City solicitor, appeared to prosecute on behalf of the corpora- tion. Mr. Vickery, in opening the case, stated that the vessel arrived at Gravesend on Dec. 7th and was visited by the medical officer of health in conjunction with Her Majesty’s Customs. In reply to the usual question as to, whether all were well on board the master stated " All well" and subsequently signed a declaration to this effect, and further, that there had been no case of sickness during the voyage. On the following day it was found that the fourth engineer had been taken ill with typhoid fever on Nov. 14th and had been under treatment by the surgeon of the vessel : since that date with the full knowledge of the master, who had entered the fact in his official log and had also reported it at Havre. The medical officer of health thereupon removed the patient to hospital and disinfected the vessel. These facts were not disputed by the defence and Mr. Noad on L behalf of the master pleaded guilty and stated the , circumstances under which the offence was com- i mitted. The bench imposed a penalty of 40s. with costs.
