Abstract
THE sudden death on January 25, at the age of sixty-two years, of Sir Thomas Stanton has come as a great shock to his many friends, both at home and abroad. Although Stanton, as director of Government Laboratories, Federated Malay States, and later, as chief medical adviser to the Colonial Office, occupied prominent positions throughout a large part of his life, he never sought publicity, and the public never fully appreciated the work which he had done on beriberi, on malaria and other diseases, or his work at the Colonial Office in reorganizing the Colonial Medical Service.
