TESTIMONIAL TO DR. F. W. EURICH
To the Editor
of THE LANCET Sir,,-After being in practice as a consulting physician for over 30 years, and for 24 years professor of medical jurisprudence at Leeds University, Dr. F. W. Eurich has intimated his intention to retire from practice and to reside in the south of England. The very large number of medical practitioners who, during the long period of Dr. Eurich’s work, have
sought his aid in the treatment of their patients, including in many cases themselves and their relatives, are not willing that he should leave Yorkshire without having received from them some small indication of the great esteem in which he is held by all who know him. It is proposed that subscriptions limited to one guinea should be invited from all medical practitioners who have been associated with Dr. Eurich. It is also intended to present this token of esteem at
a
dinner to be held at 8
P.M. on
Wednes-
day, Sept. 29th, at the Midland Hotel, Bradford. We are, Sir, yours faithfully, GEOFFREY PRIESTMAN, Hon. Sec., Bradford Division, B.M.A. F. E. CHESTER-WILLIAMS, Hon. Sec., Bfd. Medico-Chirurgical Soc.
