THE TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTION 55

and other old and valuable books were presented by Dr. J. A. Ormerod, Dr. William Ogle, Sir Dyce Duckworth, Sir William Osler, and the present Harveian Librarian.

Sir George Sutherland Mackenzie, K.C.M.G., C.B., bequeathed, contingent on a life interest of of his two brothers, a legacy of £30,000, free of duty, to the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Surgeons for enabling them to assist students in scientific medical research.

I take this opportunity of recording my obliga- tions to the Harveian Librarian, Dr. Norman Moore, and to the Registrar for kind help in preparing this oration.

I would conclude by exhorting the Fellows and Members of this College to continue in that mutual love and affection which Harvey enjoins, and I would offer my sincere thanks to you, Mr. President, for the great honour you have conferred on me in appointing me Harveian Orator, and to the Fellows and Members for giving me so attentive a hearing. �
