There will be many in Shanghai, and particularly those from Glasgow, who will be interested to know that, passing through here as surgeon on the str, City of York was Dr, James W. Allen, F.s.c., who kas had a distinguished career in his profession, especially im the service of the Glasgow Municipality. He was at one time medical superintendent of the Belvedere Fever Hospital, later on a physician on the staff of the Royal Infirmary, Glasgow, and after that physician in charge of the Belleville. Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Lanark, also under the Glasgow Corporation.
Dr. Ernest Marsh was at one time in charge of wards at the Belvedere institution under the superintendence of Dr. Allen, and Dr. H. Couper Patrick also worked with him for a time in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
The veteran doctor—having graduated in 1869, he must be at least 75 years of age—is no stranger to Shanghai, but itis not the Shanghai he used to know, for he last saw the city when! very few of the residents of to-day wera here, coming out in 1872. Naturally, hoe is greatly impressed with the tremendous changes that have taken place since these long ago days.
