Excerpt: ... oil-tentand the applicationof warmth and moisture are sufficient; in the general management, a strengthening regimen should be adopted--Virchouj's Archiv, Band xx., 5 and 6 Heft. OBITUARY. It is our melancholy duty to announce the sudden death, on the night of July 19th last, of Francis Rtnd, Surgeon to the Meath Hospital, in the 58th year of his age. Two valuable contributions to surgery appear from his pen in our present Number: they speak more than our words could of the loss the profession has sustained in his sudden removal from among us. It was but a day or two previous to his death that he had revised the proofs of his essay " On Remedying Deformities of the Lips;" when he made an arrangement with us for publishing a series of reports, on matters connected with practical surgery, in our pages: having had exten-sive practice, both private and public, the latter chiefly in the wards of the Meath Hospital, to which he had been for twenty-six years surgeon, he wished to give his professional brethren the advantage of his long experience. His death was the result of fatty disease of the heart, there never having been any but the slightest symptoms, on one or two occasions, of its existence; and on the day of his death he went through his usual professional avocations. When returning to town from the country, where he had been spending the evening, while in a state of excitement caused by his horse knocking down a woman on the road, he fell forward in his carriage, and in a few moments ceased to breathe. Post-mortem examination revealed commencing disease of both liver and kidneys, in addition to the affection of the heart. omracnM THE DUBLIN QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCE. NOVEMBER 1, 1861.
