    IO From T. M'Call ANDERSON, Professor of Clinical Medicine, University of Glasgow. 2 Woodside Terrace, Glasgow, November, 1898. I HAVE great pleasure in complying with Mr. John M. Cowan’s request for a testimonial. The son of an eminent physician, he bids fair to follow in his father’s footsteps. In my own class of Clinical Medicine he was the most distinguished student of his year, and I am aware that he has pursued the other branches of the Medical Curriculum with equal assiduity and success. He is very highly educated, and is a graduate in Arts and in Medicine of the University of Cambridge. I have little doubt that he will make his mark in the profession, and I heartily wish him success. T. M'CALL ANDERSON. From GEORGE Buchanan, M.D., Professor of Clinical Medicine, University of Glasgow. 193 Bath Street, Glasgow, 5th December, 1898. Dr. JOHN M. Cowan, after passing through a successful career as a student, and taking his degree, acted for six months as house surgeon in my wards, and performed all the duties of that office to my entire satisfaction. From the efficiency of his assistance to me, and his experience elsewhere, I am quite satisfied that he is well qualified for one of the appointments in the medical department of the Western Infirmary Dispensary. GEORGE BUCHANAN.
