Abstract
DR. C. J. S. THOMPSON, who died recently, was born at Liverpool in 1862. As a young man he studied chemistry and pharmacy and became interested in the historical aspect of these subjects. In 1898 his close association with what was ultimately to become the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum commenced. From this date he played an active part in assisting Sir Henry Wellcome in the work of collecting, classifying and assembling the ever-increasing store of material. In 1913, he became the first conservator of the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum.
