JOHN SCOTT, M.D. EDIN., M.R.C.S.ENG, ETC.
DR. JOHN SCOTT, of 8, Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, whose death was announced in our issue of August 2nd, was born on May 16th, 1817, and died-after four days' illness - of uraemia - on July 22nd, 1890, aged 73. He was educated at the Universities of Edinburgh and Paris. He took his M.D.Edin. degree in 1830, his F.R.C.P.Edin. in 1854, and became M.R.C.P.Lond. in 1860. He was a Licentiate of the Faculty of Medicine, Paris, and was B.L. and
B.Sc. of the University of France. Dr. Scott was in practice at Boulogne-sur-Mer at the time of the great outbreak of diphtheria there, when the disease was but little understood, and in the treatment of it Dr. Scott was regarded as an eminent authority. He afterwards returned to England, and in 1861 settled down in London, occupying the same house in which he died. He had a large consulting practice, and was much esteemed, both scientifically and socially. We have already referred to the fact that by a strange fatality the deceased gentleman was seized with illness on the eve of his departure for Paris, to attend his friend, the late Sir Richard Wallace, who had telegraphed to him to go over at once. He was buried at Orford, Suffolk, of which place his son is rector.
