DR. ANDREW WILSON DEAD.
(Received 11.15 am.) LONDON, August 26. The death is announced of Dr. Andrew Wilson. Dr. Andrew Wilson, Ph.D., M.8., F.R.S.E., F.L.S., was one of the bestknown medical journalists in Britain. He was born in Edinburgh nearly sixty years ago, and was educated at the Edinburgh University where, at the age of 24, he became lecturer on zoology and comparative anatomy. He had unusual gifts of expression, and his clever handling of abstruse subjects made them quite clear to the least technical, his papers on health, which appeared in "Science Jottings" and 'liloyds'" newspapers being widely read. He was formerly editor of "Health," and later became an examiner in the Faculty of Medicine at Glasgow University. His works include "Studies in Life and Sense," "Science Stories," "A Manual of Health-Science," "Chapters on Evolution," and "The 'Modern Physician."
