 and was his only communication to the Society. He published 

 many papers in the Laticet, British Medical Jourtial, Medical

 which reached a 4th edition in 1908, and for which he was 

 awarded the Swiney Prize in 1909. His other book on the

 President of the Manchester Medical Society, and of the Man- 

 chester Pathological Society, and examiner in the Universities of 

 London, Oxford and Sheffield, as well as Manchester. He had

 who was content to labour continually for the sake of the work 

 and not for the rewards the work might bring, and one of whom

 was the greater. R. B. W. 



By the death of Jules Henri Poincare the world of 

 science has lost the most original and productive mathematical 

 genius of his time. Primarily a pure mathematician, but
