Gallipoli, and Egypt. The doctor had examined a patient, and when leaving asked the wife to take her husband’s temperature. Next morning the* doctor rung up the lady and asked if she had taken her husband’s temperature. The lady replied: “As I had no thermometer, doctor, I placed the barometer on his chest. It registered ‘very dry’, so I gave, him half a dozen glasses of beer, and he went off to work quite happy.” The death occurred in Wellington on :31st October of Airs Elizabeth Twcml<nv, widow of the late F.
