King Edward's Physician

King Edward's Physicians.

Every one who has used listerine knows Sir Joseph Lister, the discoverer of antiseptic surgery, says the New York Press. He is seventy-six years of age. Sir Francis Laking, an old pupil of St. George's hospital, nursed the Duke of York through his attack of thyphoid in 1891. He was born in 1847. Sir Frederick Treves is a great fisherman and sailor. He was consulting surgeon to the forces in South Africa in 1900 and an important figure in the Ladysmith relief column. Sir Thomas Smith is consulting surgeon to several of the biggest hospitals in London. Sir Thomas Barlow is a member of many clinical and pathological societies. Most of these gentlemen were the late queen's physicians.
