From Men of the Titfie we take the following Mackenzie, Morell, M.D. (London), was born at Leytonstono, Kbbox, in 18S7, and educated at the London Hospital Medical College, Paris, and Vienna. He founded the Hospital for Diseases of the Throat, Golden Square, 1863; and in the same year obtained tbe Jacksonian Prize from the Boyal College of Surgeons for his essay on diseases of the larynx He vas soon afterwards elected assistant-physician to the London Hospital, becoming in dne course full physician, and was appointed lecturer on diseases of the throat. He is a corresponding member of tbe Imperial Boyal Society of' Physicians of Vienna, and of the Medical Society of Prague, and an Honorary Fellow of the American Laryngologies! Association. Dr Mackenzie is the author of numerous publications on on laryngologioal subjects, and in particular of a systematic treatise in two volumes, on " Diseases of the Throat and Nose,” which is acknowledged to be a standard work. It has been translated into French and German, and has had a very large circulation both in this country and in America Dr Mackenzie has also written monographs on diphtheria and hay fever, and he published an article on “Specialism in Medicine” in tbe June number of the Fortnightly Beview (1886), which excited considerable attention.”

[The general public know Sir Morell Mackenzie beat through hia attendance on the late Emperor of Germany, and the controversy between Sir Morell and the German doctors on the character of the treatment pursued by the great English specialist. Sir Morell Mackenzie’s book, published shortly after the Emperor’s death, gave bis view of the whole case very clearly but, as many thought, unfairly and ungenerously to (be German medical men, who had also been in attendance on the deceased Emperor. 3
