Abstract
PROF. J. E. JOHANSSON, of Stockholm, died on March 31, at seventy-six years of age. Johansson was professor of physiology at the Caroline Institute in Stockholm from 1901 until 1927. His first degree was in physics and mathematics. He then studied physiology with Holmgren in Uppsala, and in 1889 he worked with Ludwig in Leipzig. In 1890 he was awarded his M.D. degree for a thesis on the splanchnic nerves and was appointed reader in Tigerstedt's laboratory at Stockholm. From 1890 until 1908, he carried out his well-known researches on metabolism, particularly in connexion with muscular exercise. From 1908 onwards, however, his spare time was chiefly occupied with various activities on behalf of the Swedish Government. He was chairman also (until 1926) of the Medical Nobel Committee, and the high standard which he maintained gave him an enormous amount of work in studying the claims of persons proposed for the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine.
