MEDICAL HISTORY THE LIFE OF JOHN G. KERR FORTY-THREE YEARS SUPERINTENDENT OF THE CANTON HOSPITAL*

Dr. Kerr was born on November 30th, 1824, in Adams County, Ohio, U.S.A. The grandfather said, "We will call his name John" and he prayed that the child might so follow the Savior that the world would be made better by his life. When he was but five years old his father died and he was taken into the home of his uncle in Virginia where he remained until he was fourteen. Here he went to school, a happy, industrious boy, kind and generous; always ready to do a favor for others. He always stood high in his studies. His generous nature and sense of justice led him to take a firm stand against slavery as he saw it practiced about him, At the age of sixteen he entered Denison University and during his course of study decided to become a physi- cian, entering Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia and graduating in 1847.

Though he took time off to indulge his athletic abilities, he steeped himself in College affairs and became Provost in March 1904, a post he held until his death in October 1914.

Through a glass darkly.

After graduating from the University of British Columbia (UBC) Dr. Gibson entered McGill University to study medicine but interrupted his studies to go to Oxford University (as a demonstrator in physiology), where he received his doctorate. He resumed his medical studies at McGill University, graduating in 1941. After serving in the clinical investigation units of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) he became deputy director of medical research at the RCAF headquarters in Ottawa. This was the post he held when he wrote the editorial "Medical education for 1980," which is reprinted as our Encore selection for this issue, starting on page 665. After the war Dr. Gibson worked at the Montreal Neurological Institute until 1948 and then by a circuitous route went on to UBC as Kinsmen professor of neurologic research. Following a sabbatical year in Marseille in 1958, he was appointed professor of the history of medicine and science at UBC, a post he held until 1975. His "retirement" has hardly been quiet. He has been chairman of the Universities Council of British Columbia and from 1985 to 1991 chancellor of the University of Victoria.

PERNICIOUS ANAEMIA IN SZECHWAN A CASE REPORT*

The relative frequency of cases of Pernicious Anaemia in China is something I have no opportunity to ascertain. In Szcchwan I know the disease to be rather rare and since I can ftnd no trace of a case being reported I think it worth while to report one occurring recently under Dr. Anderson''s service which came under my observation. CASE REPORT The patient is a mak twenty-eight years of agp whose puffy face has an icteric tinge. He is a tailor Ioy trade and a native of Shansi, having been some years in Szechwan. He comes complaining of dizziness and weakness the commencement of which he can not defintely remember but says "More than a month:''. He is well nourished, slow of cerebratiort and movement and apprehensive concerning his condition.     

Parkinson disease of ranking lawyer and legislator SJV Chelvanayakam: a hypothesis

SJV Chelvanayakam (1898-1977), a ranking civil lawyer and legislator, was probably the well known Parkinson disease victim in the 20th century Sri Lanka. He was born in Ipoh, Malaya, where his father had moved in the last decade of the 19th century for professional advancement. Ipoh was then an attractive location for migrants from China and the Indian subcontinent since it was in the Kinta valley--touted then, as the world's richest single tin field. Chelvanayakam was brought to Jaffna peninsula when he was aged four (in 1902 or 1903) by his mother, who returned to her native Tellipalai town partly due to indifferent health during her stay in Kinta region. In this communication, I present a hypothesis that organotin exposure as a foetus or during infancy at his place of birth is likely to have been a contributing factor to Chelvanayakam's Parkinsonism. It seems to fit the available circumstantial evidence.
