Abstract
SHIRLEY MURPHY'S name during the last thirty years has been a household word in the ranks of public health workers; and his work as medical officer of health for the county of London during a period of twenty-two years was marked by great improve ments in the administrative control and prevention of disease. From this post he retired a few years before the War, but at its onset his services were utilised in taking charge of the sanitary services of the London area, for which work he was created K.B.E. in 1919, having been previously knighted in 1904.
