PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON. 181 



Hesitating, often embarassed, in his manner in ordinary conversation, 

 especially with strangers, he became eloquent when warmed by the 

 discussion of any topic in which he took interest, and he took 

 interest in a great variety of subjects besides those directly connected 

 with the work of his life. 



Many warm personal friends share the grief of his family at his 

 untimely death, which, as has been well said by the Surgeon-General, 

 "will be deeply deplored not only by the Medical Corps of the 

 Army, but by the whole medical profession at home and abroad."
