The deceased gentleman formerly practiced inSheffield over 30 years, where he was oneof the original founders ofthe Hospital for Women, an institution to which he rendered admirableservice, and from which he only retired about seven years ago, onleaving Sheffield to take up his residence in Newcastle-on-Tyne. Hedid not, however, entirely sever his connections with the hospital,but up to the time of his death acted as consulting medical officer,and his opinion was ever held in the highest repute. Dr Jacksonstudiedat the University College, London, and graduated at the LondonUniversity, where he took the degree of M.B. in 1851; afterwardsqualifying for the membership of the Royal College of Surgeons,England, in 1853, havingpreviously obtained the L.S.A degree in 1849.He secured Fellowes Clinical GoldMedal of University College Hospitalin 1850; and the Silver Medal for Materia Medica of the ApothecariesHall in 1848. His contributions to the medical journals havebeen'Operations for vesico-vaginal tistule' Lancet 1861; 'A case oftumours ofthe Brain.' London Medical Review 1861; and 'Four cases ofoviotomy', Lancet 1888. The sudden termination of his illness will bea painful surprise to those in Sheffield(hisnative town) where helived and laboured so long. He was so respectedfor his abilities andpractical skill; so loved for the ready sympathy he brought to all whosuffered, whatever their degree, that his sudden death at acomparatively early age willbefelt as a severe personal grief, bothto high and low.
