almost any other medical man in England has done by his adoption of Hahnemann's doctrines. In Hull, the town where he practised, he long occupied a conspicuous position, both as a medical and a public man, having been at one time a member of the Town Council. He was President of the British Medical Association the year before that illustrious body distinguished itself by passing its anti-homœopathic resolutions at Brighton. When, therefore, he avowed his conversion to the homeopathic faith, he excited a great deal of attention among the general public, and the pamphlet he wrote detailing his Reasons for Adopting the Rational System of Medicine went rapidly through a large number of editions; and as it was well written and contained a number of very striking cases, it served to arouse a great spirit of enquiry among the patient part of the community, and caused many converts. His death took place at Hull on the 6th of June last. His age was fifty-nine. HAUBOLD. He was one Dr. Carl Haubold was like Dr. Joslin born in 1796. of Hahnemann's earliest and most zealous disciples, and possessed more influence over the master than almost any of his followers. In Leipzic he enjoyed a large practice, and he is said to have been a most successful practitioner. Though he wrote little, he was held in high esteem by all his colleagues in Leipzic. Though a thorough master of the Materia Medica, and a most skilful physician in every respect, he was never dogmatical nor overbearing towards his junior brethren, and he always gave his opinion with a modesty and deference for the opinion of others, that won for him the affection of all, and made him a great favourite at consultations. He died at Ems, whither he had gone to try the effect of the waters on a disease of the throat, on the 8th of June last. BOOKS RECEIVED. L'Art Médical.
