NOTED MEDICAL MAN.

DR FRANK ANDREW’S DEATH,

LAST ACT TO HELP HUMANITY.

MELBOURNE, Juno 18. Dr. Frank Andrew, who died with dramatic suddenness while on his yacht at Carlo Bay, Geelong, yesterday, was one of Australia’s most brilliant ear, nose and throat specialists. Collins street colleagues describe him as ono of the most gifted medical men Melbourne has produced, and an extraordinarily successful operator. Although able to command rich fees, he did an immense amount of gratuitous work among the poor. Dr. Andrew was notable for having attained his fame without having studied abroad. He mastered his work and taught it to others in his native city. The remarkable mind of the late Dr. Andrew was exemplified in the way ho died. It adds another chapter to the volume of single-minded devotion to science which has been of such benefit to humanity.

Dr. Andrew knew that his seizure meant his death. In his a£ony of suffering, and there are few pains comparable with those suffered in angina pectoris, he described his symptoms to his friend and companion Dr. Dew, in the hope that they might disclose something of benefit to the medical profession. It is a very rare tiling for doctors to get such accounts from their patients, but even in the pain he was suffering and in tho certainty of death Dr. Andrew’s mind was able to rise superior and to make his last act a continuation of what his life had been —a benefaction to humanity.
