his excellent business capacity. Method, accuracy, and in-tegrity of purpose marked all he took in hand. Theesteem in which his friends held him was well shown duringthe time in which he was secretary to the Medical Board andBombay Retiring Fund from 1848 to 1865, and is expressedby the inscription placed upon the handsome silver epergnepresented to him, and which adorned his dining-room atBourton. The inscription reads thus: "Presented to WilliamCarey Coles, Esq., M.D., late Surgeon-Major, Bombay Army,by some members of the Bombay Medical Service, in grate-ful appreciation of his valuable services for upwards offifteen years as Secretary to, and member of the ManagingCommittee of, the Bombay Medical Retiring Fund, and inrecognition of his successful exertions to provide the transferof the fund to Her Majesty’s Government in the year 1869."After twenty years’ service in India Dr. Coles married, and

retired to live at Bourton-on-the-Water, where both he andhis wife held property. The years between retirement anddecease were now actively spent in doing good in his nativevillage. The Cottage Hospital at Bourton-on-the-Waterhad his daily and assiduous care. As secretary, Dr. Colesprepared the annual report; and, working in completeharmony with Mr. Moore and Dr. Corser, the medicalofficers, he did much to make this hospital the efficient andvaluable institution which it at present is.In 1883 Dr. Coles had a serious attack of bronchitis and

pleurisy, and at that time the feeble state of his heartcaused his friends Mr. Moore and Dr. Thorowgood someanxiety. Happily, under Mr. Moore’s unremitting care, hewas restored to health and able to go about his work, and attimes to run up to London and entertain friends at hisclub. His professional friends were many, and he alwaysliked to be in London at such times as enabled him to attendthe dinner of the Fellows of the College of Surgeons, andalso the annual conversazione at the College of Physicians.In April last, while exposed to a cold wind in looking

after work going on in the parish church in connexion withthe funeral of a very old and valued friend, it seems thatDr, Coles took a chill resulting in an attack of bronchitis,and though he got over this so far as to be able to walk out,it was evident to all that his weakness was great. OnMay 17th he was about as usual, but complained at night ofunusual shortness of breath on ascending the stairs to hisroom. This breath difficulty increased rapidly, and althoughremedies were in readiness and were promptly employed,the symptoms increased ; and before Mr. Moore (who livednear at hand) could reach the bedside life had fled.Dr. Coles married in 1866 Miss Hanks, of Bourton-on-the-

Water, by whom he leaves one daughter.

MATTHEW BAILLIE GAIRDNER, M.D., F.R.C.S.ED.WE regret to announce the death on the 18th ult., of

Dr. Matthew Baillie Gairdner of Crieff, in the eightiethyear of his age. Born at Glasgow, and educated at theUniversity of Edinburgh, Dr. Gairdner became a licentiate ofthe Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh at the earlyage of nineteen, and shortly afterwards commenced practicein.Comrie, where he remained some seven or eight years,and removed to Crieff about 1839. In this town and its

neighbourhood he enjoyed for many years an extensive

practice, and so highly was his professional skill valued thathe was frequently called to Glasgow, Dundee, and otherlarge centres of population as a consultant. In theBarveian discourse for last year, delivered by Dr. G. W.Balfour, it is recorded that Dr. Gairdner, in his gradua-tion thesis in 1830, was the first to discover thatthe second sound of the heart was due to the closureof the semilunar valves--a theory which was shortlyafterwards confirmed by direct experiments institutedtor the discovery of the true causes of the sound ofthe heart, the earliest of these being credited to Dr. C. J. B.Williams. Dr. Gairdner was also deeply interested in thesocial, moral, and educational condition of the town in whichhe resided. He was one of the original founders of theCrieff Mechanics’ Institution, for some years a member ofthe Town Council, and medical officer to the ParochialBoard. A skilful practitioner and a man of sterlinguprightness, the deceased gentleman is sincerely mournedby those who had been accustomed to come in contactWith him during his long and laborious life. He is survivedby a widow and twelve children.
