Obituary.DR. ARTHUR G. REID, OF HANKOW, CHINA.OUR obituary list contained a few weeks ago the announce.

ment of Dr. Rid’s death at Hankow, on June 20th, thenews having been received by telegram. A widespreadcircle of friends in the East and at home will have learntwith much sorrow that so promising a career has beenbrought to a premature close. Dr. Reid was educated atthe University of Edinburgh, and after having been house-surgeon to the late Professor Spence, with whom he formedties of close friendship, settled at Hankow in China, in prac-tice amongst the foreign residents. His professional zeal notfinding sufficient scope amongst the small foreign population,he conducted gratuitously a hospital for Chinese under theauspices of the London Missionary Society; and it was inthis field that he made the numerous clinical observationsregarding leprosy which were published in the China Custon2sGazette, and which are quoted in all modern standard workson that disease.

Dr. Reid recently visited Europe and enlarged his expe-rience by visits to the hospitals of Edinburgh, London, Paris,and Vienna, keeping steadily in view the acquisition of themodern methods of investigation in diseases of the nervoussystem, with special reference to their application to thestudy of leprosy. He intended to remain only a short timein China; and the chief inducement that reconciled him tothe prospect of a further stay in Hankow was the hope ofbeing able to throw some further light on that obscure disease.We understand that Dr. Reid had accumulated extensivenotes in reference to the distribution of the disease in CentralChina ; and it is to be hoped that some means may be takenof rendering the information they contain available to theprofession.Dr. Reid died suddenly of sanguineous apoplexy, when

apparently in his usual health. He was a little over fortyyears of age.
