DOCTOR CLEARED
CHARGES IN LONDON
AN EMINENT SPECIALIST
LONDON, November 30.
Sir Aldo Castellani, who obtained leave from the Italian Army in NorthEast Africa to answer charges of unprofessional conduct at his Harley Street rooms, was cleared by a general medical council after a two-days' inquiry.
The specific allegations were not revealed by the council, despite Sir Aldo Castellani's request for a public hearing, the council accepting the view that as much of the evidence to be given by a woman would be of an embarrassing nature, the proceedings should be held in camera.
The council dismissed the charges, which it is held had not been proved.
Sir Aldo Castellani, Director-in-Chief of the Ross Institute and Hospital anri lecturer in the London School of Tropical Medicine, was born in Florence, Italy, in 1877, and qualified M.D. with highest honours at Florence and M.R.C.P., London. He is chiefly known for his discovery of the etiological agents of sleeping sickness and yaws, for the elucidation of the etiology of several other diseases, and for descriptions of new tropical diseases and their causes. He was a member of the Foreign Office and Royal Society's Commission on Sleeping Sickness in Uganda, 1902-03.
