Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

Two autograph letters from Braddon, Mount Beryl, Seremban, Federated Malay States, on headed note-paper, dated 6 Oct 1910 and 23 Feb 1911 (4 and 2 pp., 4to, written on rectos only), to Sir Charles James Martin, including one diagram, and annotated by Martin: in the first seeking Martin’s “powerful aid in clearing up perhaps the final point in the etiology of beri beri”, and in the second continuing discussion of beri-beri and sending the enclosed pamphlet:
W Leonard Braddon (author of "The Cause and Prevention of Beri-beri") HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR of the Straits Settlements and SCIENTIFIC POACHERS: The Discovery of the Cause of Beri-Beri A Disease which has cost $9,000,000 and 100,000 lives! ITS SUCCESSFUL PREVENTION. It still costs a quarter of a million annually, but may be prevented for nothing! A Great Sanitary Reform needed and a little Justice (Riberio & Co Ltd, Singapore [1911])
