    the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow. I acted as Dispensary Surgeon to the Western Infirmary from November, 1896, till April, 1900, when I was pro- moted to be an assistant surgeon. Previous to that I had held the position of Demonstrator of Anatomy in Glasgow University for a year, and also that of Demon- strator of Operative Surgery in Anderson's College. For a number of years I have been one of the lecturers to the nurses of the Western Infirmary, and have taken part in their examination. I am forty-two years of age, a Master of Arts of Glasgow University, and graduated M.B. and C.M. with commendation at the same University in 1892. After graduation I was for a year Resident Assistant in the Western Infirmary, and thereafter spent a year as a post-graduate student in London. Since then I have made repeated visits to the cliniques of distinguished surgeons in this country, on the Conti- nent of Europe, and in the United States. Should you do me the honour to appoint me to fill the present vacancy, it would be my constant endeavour to discharge to the best of my ability the duties of the post. Yours faithfully, ALFRED A. YOUNG. I enclose two testimonials with reference to my work at the Western Infirmary and in the University of Edin- burgh.
