Abstract
THE death of Dr. Thudicum removes from our midst the living equivalent of a very familiar name. As a worker, to the younger generation of men of science he was not known, but some of his numerous communications upon topics extraordinarily varied can scarcely have escaped the observation, and have most probably received the serious attention, of almost every one interested in the medical sciences. More than half a century ago he graduated in medicine at Giessen. Almost immediately afterwards, stimulated by the work and magic influence of the great Liebig, who had attracted to the quiet and secluded university a bevy of young men eager to become adept in methods which, in the hands of their great master, had forced Nature to yield up truths of such momentous importance to physiology, Thudicum began to work at physiological chemistry.
