1736 that a severe attack caused him to realise that he was the victim of angina pectoris, and attention being drawn to the urine he was found also to have glycosuria. On the morning of his death he expressed himself as well and fit for work, and indeed the fatal seizure was probably induced by his running upstairs for his visiting list, for he dropped in the room and died almost immediately with the book in his hand. The funeral was a very representative one, the Mayor, many members of the town council, corporation officials, fire brigade, police, and a large portion of his professional brethren turning out to do the last honour to one who had been adviser, colleague, and friend to so many, who bad served his community so well, and stood so high in the esteem of the poor. Much sympathy is felt for his wife and two sons, the elder of whom is studying for his father’s profession.

Enstone of Sandhurst, Gloucestershire, died on Nov. 24th. There is an official record of the fact that he was christened on Oct. 9th, 1808. Messrs. Down Bros., Limited, of St. Thomas’s. street, London, have been awarded the Grand Prix (highest award) for surgical instruments and aseptic hospital furni- ture at the Buenos Aires Exhibition, 1910, as well as the Grand Prix (highest award) at the Brussels Exhibition, 1910. THE LATE DR. ARTHUR FOXWELL.-At the Queen’s Hospital, Birmingham, the Foxwell Memorial Tablet was unveiled by Professor Jordan Lloyd on Nov. 22nd, in the presence of a representative company of the subscribers, hospital staff, committee, residents, and nurses. Professor J. T. J. Morrison, chairman of the medical committee, presided, and Mrs. Foxwell and Miss Foxwell were amongst those present. The tablet, which is of bronze, is in the form of a memorial bust, and is the work of Mr. Courtenay Pollock. It is inscribed : " Arthur Foxwell, physician to this hospital, 1889-1909. Erected by his colleagues and friends." Pro- fessor Morrison said the proceedings that afternoon were the outcome of a movement begun some months ago by the medical committee. They felt strongly and unanimously that the hospital ought to contain some conspicuous evidence of the regard and affection in which they held their late friend and colleague. It was not forgotten that the open-air ward in the medical building-the first of its kind, as far as he knew, in England-must always be associated with him. The idea was his sole conception and was carried into effect under his thoughtful supervision. But they wanted something more obviously personal and distinctive upon which his name might be inscribed, and which would challenge the notice and inquiry of the observer. After due consideration it was decided-and he felt sure the subscribers would endorse the decision-that the memorial should take the two-fold form of a mural tablet and a medical prize. The tablet was very appropriately the work of Mr. Courtenay Pollock, a stepson of Dr. Foxwell, and an artist of considerable talent. The endowment fund of the Foxwell Memorial Essay would provide a prize in clinical medicine, to be competed for annually by qualified residents of the Queen’s Hospital, General Hospital, and the Children’s Hospital. By thee means they wished, and they expected, to preserve the memory of their friend in the minds of his fellow workers, and to continue the influence of his person- ality upon those who might follow them in the future. Professor Jordan Lloyd, as the senior member of the Queen’s Hospital staff, then unveiled the tablet. He referred with emotion to his long friendship with Dr. Foxwell, and said he had learned to hold him in the highest regard as a man, to esteem him as a scholar, and to revere him as a devotee of the profession he had chosen. Invited to speak by the chairman, Dr. 0. J. Kauffmann, the senior physician, said that it might interest those present to learn what had been done with the money collected for the Foxwell Memorial. The sum subscribed was close upon £200. £50 had been paid for the memorial tablet, and the rest had been invested in a debenture security, which would bring in about £6 per year. This small amount it was proposed to present annually for the best prize essay, which should be open to competition by the residents of the Queen’s, the General, and the Children’s hospitals. The subject of the essay would be fixed by the medical committee of the Queen’s Hospital, which had reserved to itself the right to alter the regulations affecting the prize if it should appear that a change would be advantageous. They had thought it well to depart from the usual fashion of giving a prize to students because they knew that the plan they had devised would have been approved by Dr. Foxwell, whose sympathy was ever with young members of the profession who endeavoured to further the march of science ; and they trusted that those who would compete for the prize would use personal obser- vations on disease as the mainstay of their essays. Mr. Keep, chairman of the hospital committee, in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman and to Professor Jordan Lloyd, said the memorial would serve as a link between these days and the days to come. It would remind the men and women

who were in the hospital of a distinguished man who hadpreceded them, and whose memory his friends delighted tohonour. The motion was seconded by Alderman Clayton,and was duly carried and acknowledged.METROPOLITAN WATER BOARD : APPOINTMENT

OF DISTRICT MEDICAL OFFICERS.—The Works and StoresCommittee of the Metropolitan Water Board reported,at the meeting of the Board on Friday, Dec. 2nd,vacancies caused by the resignation of Dr. Percy Popeand the death of Dr. C. Adams, district medicalofficers for the Barrow Hill Division of the Western Districtand the Buckhurst Hill Division of the Eastern District

respectively. To fill these vacancies it was resolved to

appoint Mr. Beresford Kingsford, M.D., D.P.H., in theWestern District, and Mr. P. W. Moore, M.B., M.R.C.S.,L.R.C.P., in the Eastern District. The committee had alsoreceived notice of the resignation of Dr. T. E. B. Meyler, ofthe Battersea, Brixton, and Wandsworth Division of theSouthern District, and a report as to filling the vacancy waspromised at a later date. Dr. W. Anderson, who was ap-pointed to act jointly with his partner, Dr. R. Cobb, in the Eastof Lee Division of the Eastern District, has removed from theneighbourhood, but the committee considered it unnecessaryto fill the vacancy thus caused, and his name was removedfrom the Board’s list of district medical officers.

A SPECIAL meeting of the medical men residentin the electoral division of Rossendale was held on Nov. 30th atRawtenstall. There was a good attendance. Dr. J. Brownof Bacup was called to the chair, and Dr. E. W. Falconer ofStacksteads was asked to act as secretary. The Chairmanstated that the meeting was convened to discuss the questionsof State sickness and invalidity insurance, and of coroners’law and death certification, as affecting the medical pro-fession. Several members who had had experience in otherparts of the country of club and contract practice spoke ofits being most unsatisfactory. The following resolution wasthen proposed by Dr. J. Broomhead of Haslingden, andseconded by Dr. A. A. Edward of Rawtenstall :-That the principle of limited payment for unlimited medical services

has to a large extent proved most unsatisfactory to the patients and tothe doctors. This meeting therefore is strongly opposed to this principle,and urges on the Government in any future legislation in the proposedState Sickness and Invalidity Insurance Bill that there shall be freedomof choice of doctor by the patient, and that the principle of paymentshall be for medical services rendered.

This was carried unanimously. Copies of this resolution wereordered to be sent to the Right Honourable Lewis Harcourt,the Right Honourable Lloyd George, and the Central Councilof the British Medical Association. Mr. McIlraith ofRawtenstall then proposed and Dr. J. A. Harrison of

Haslingden seconded :-That the proposed Coroners’ Law and Death Certification Bill should

be amended as follows : "That the body be viewed within three days ofdeath having taken place, and that there be a minimum fee and mileagefor the certificate."

This was’ also carried unanimously. The resolution wasordered to be sent to the Right Honourable Lewis Harcourt,Sir W. Collins, and the Central Council of the British MedicalAssociation.

PRESENTATION TO MR. CHARLES J. BOND.-Arepresentative assembly of members of the professionwas present on Dec. 1st at the Grand Hotel, Leicester,when a presentation of a silver tea and coffee servicewas made to Mr. C. J. Bond. The proceedingscommenced with an informal dinner to which nearly90 gentlemen accepted invitations, though owing tothe exceedingly inclement condition of the weatherseveral were prevented from attending. The chair wasoccupied by Mr. C. F. Bryan, the oldest practising memberof the profession in the town. At the close of the dinnerthe chairman gave the toast of "The King," and thenbriefly proposed Mr. Bond’s health, reserving further remarksfor the subsequent presentation ceremony. Mr. Bond madaa short reply. The party then adjourned and a receptionwas held in an adjoining room, which was attended by alarge number of the wives and daughters of the subscribers.The company was received by Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and byMr., Mrs., and Miss Bond. The Mayoress of Leicester, MissVincent, was present. Mr. Bryan made the presentation.In felicitous terms he spoke of Mr. Bond’s career at Uni-

versity College, where he carried off many prizes and held

the appointments of house surgeon and assistant demon-strator of anatomy. After being house surgeon at BedfordInfirmary and Leicester Infirmary he joined the staff ofthe latter institution in 1886 and was now its senior

surgeon. The chairman went on to speak of the highposition which Mr. Bond held among the medical pro-fession in Leicester and Leicestershire. He counted almost

every medical practitioner as a personal friend, and manyof them, their wives and families, as patients. Almost everymedical practitioner in the district had contributed towardsthe presentation, and Mr. Bryan stated that it gave him thesincerest gratification to present the articles of plate to Mr.Bond. These consisted of a massive silver tea and coffeeservice and salver, on the last of which was inscribed:"To C. J. Bond, F.R.C.S., from his medical friendsin Leicester and neighbourhood as a token of affec-tion and esteem on his retirement irom practice, 1910."Mr. Bond, in acknowledgment, wished all to understandthat he felt very deeply the kindness of every one of thesubscribers.
