extensive. To his efforts and representations the merchant navy are largely indebted for measures that have tended materially to diminish scurvy, and they received their reward in the success that resulted from them, and in the passing of the Amended Merchant Seaman's Act, especially in regard to the use of antiscorbutics. In his anxiety to benefit others, he took too little heed of his own health, and the fogs and damps of the river to which he was much exposed in the performance of his duties contributed to develop disease in lungs originally delicate. A voyage to Natal produced some improvement, but of brief duration, for he succumbed on the 26th of November, 1879, to the great regret of all who knew him. Since writing the above, intelligence has reached us of the death of Deputy Inspector-General E. Goodeve, M.D., Honorary Physician to the Queen, at Stoke Bishop, in the sixty-fourth year of his age. He had for some time been in failing health, from some obscure form of cerebral disease, and the end came rather suddenly on the 27th of last month. He was at one time an active member of our Society, and took a prominent part in the discussions. His last public service was as British representative at the Cholera Conference at Constantinople in 1866. His knowledge of disease was profound, and his contributions on cholera, diarrhoea, enteric fever in India, and the so-called “red. fever" of Bengal, were most valuable. His service in India commenced in 1841, and his whole career, whether in the field during the Sutlej campaign, in the large civil station of Cawnpore, where he acquired great experience, or during his long connection with the Medical College and hospital in Calcutta as Professor of Medicine and senior physician, president of the Faculty of Medicine and examiner in medicine of the Calcutta University, was most distinguished. He rapidly attained the highest honours and position as a physician and a teacher, whilst his retiring, unselfish, straightforward and noble character endeared him to all who knew him. The medical officers of India have not been among the least of her benefactors; and none, assuredly, ever did more to deserve that epithet than Edward Goodeve. His death will be deeply lamented, and his memory fondly cherished by his service, and by natives and Europeans alike in India. INDEX TO VOL. XXV. A.
