‘ A very painful sensation has been caused in several circles in Sydney! at the news received of the death of young Dr.Foulis, a native of the colony, from diptheria, caught in the of the operation of tracheotomy on a patient /; v dying from the complaint injthe Glasgow Infirmary. This young gentleman had Mcquired a world-wide reputation in con'Section with an operation which he was the first to perform, for the removal of ,y < the larynx for cancerous disease, and the ahccessful substitution of the natural organ by an artificial contrivance. His ■!, early decease must be regarded in the light of a considerable national loss. ‘ Seeing that so many brilliant members of the medical profession have lost their own lives in connection with the local 1 treatment of cases of diphtheria, and how inevitable it is that the contagion will take effect if any impinge on the operator’s lips, it is surprising no precautions are taken. In Dr Foulis’s case a common respirator would have constituted a sufficient protection.
