Elllott five years has been regarded ais one of the leading authorities on the Continent on the treatment of tuberculosis. The lives he has saved are legion, and the homes where his name was revered. He had received many honors at the hands of the profession and at the time of his death was President of The American Association of the History o! Medicine. In the breadth of his scientifie interests he resembled his older colleague in The University of Toronto, the late Professor A. P. Coleman. He was a naturalist and an historian o! note. He travelled widely and observed ac- curately. In 1900 he was a mem- ber o! a scientific expedition to Nigeria, and in later years at- tended meetings of the medical profession in Rome, Yugoslavia and Madrid. Everywhere he went and chie! ly in his beloved Mus- koka, his senses were alive to the minutest details in nature. In the early history of this province he was well versed, and particularly in its medical and miiitary history. He was past president and hon-. orary librarian of the Canadian Military Institute, and he was also a past president of the Academy of Medicine, Toronto, for whose splendid library and valuable his- torical records he was one of those most largeiy responsible. His wife, Mabel Tait, daughter of Henry C. Tait, of Bowmanville, predeceased him in 1922. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. C. J. Kersiake of Hampton, by his daughter, Grace, the wife of Charles P. Holmes o! Ottawa, and by an infant grandson. The funeral service was con- ducted Dec. 2lst, by Rev. James A. Cranston, of T1rinity United Church, and attending were rep- resentatives and members o! the American Association of the His- tory of Medicine, University _of Toronto, Ontario Medical Associ- ation, American Climatological and Clinical Association, Canadian Tuberculosis Association, Ameni- can College o! Physîcians, Can- adian Military Institute, American Sanitorium Association, ~Ontario Laennec Society, Medical Histor- ical Club, Aesculapîan Club, To- ronto Society of Occupational Therapy and the Masonic Order. The honorary pallbearers were: Prof. Duncan Graham; Doctors Alan Brown, S. Johnston, J. Lou- don, George Porter and Colonel Hagerman. Active palibearers were: A. N. Mitchell and T. Humphries and Doctors Nelson Tait, Walter Carscadden, Edward Brooks and E. A. Broughton. Interment was in Mount Pleas- ant Cemetery. C.B.S. True courage and courtesy go hand in hand.
