booths looked sleepy, the visitors appeared very seedy, and
the Grand Stand presented an appearance something
similar to that of °lel Vauxhall, the morning after a
masquerade. The Oaks day, however, will be as successful
as the Derby day.

[ADVERTTSEIiiENT.]-110110Way'S Ointment and Pills.—
Coughs, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Asthma, Consumption.—
These diseases all effect the windpipe, or lungs, and in this
variable climate can never be unaccompanied by danger.
The first slight cough, the first difficulty of breathing, the
premonitory tightness across the chest, should give the
alarm that no ordinary foe is bearing down, and stout and
vigorous must be the opposing power that can drive his
pioneers from the frame. Holloway's Ointment, well
rubbed upon the chest, is a most efficient ally against all
attacks on the respiratory organs. The hoarseness of the
expectant singer, the catarrhal cough, the bronchitic
wheezing, alike yield to the influence of this magic
unguent,

It is our painful duty to announce- the sudden
death of Professor John Lizars, of this city (Edin-
burgh). Up to Sabbath last the professor was in the
enjoyment of his wonted health, and appeared to
many a man who might safely calculate on years of
vigorous usefulness. So late as Saturday he engaged
himself to lunch on the subsequent day at the hoitse
of one of his oldest friends, but feeling somewhat
indisposed, thought it prudent to remain at home.
As the Sabbath advanced he complained of a sleepy
sensation, gradually became quite insensible, and
soon discovered all the symptoms of congestion of
the brain. The disease rapidly increased, and,
without any return of consciousness, cut short his
career on the evening of. Monday, at an age consi-
derably beyond the allotted span.
Professor Lizars was a pupil and apprentice of
that eminent surgeon, the late John Bell, whom be
resembled in not a few features of his character, and
for whom, till his death, he entertained the most
profound regard. Shortly after receiving his di-
ploma, he was appointed surgeon on beard of one
of our ships of war, in the fleet under the command
of Admiral Lord Napier, and saw something of
active service on the Spanish and Portuguese coasts
during the Peninsular war. Lord Napier had the
utmost respect for his old " messmate," and never
visited Edinburgh without an interview. On leav-
ing the navy Mr. Lizars settled in this city, and
for upwards of 40 years he maintained in the midst
of us the character of a sagacious surgeon and skil-
ful operator.
About 30 years ago he was appointed to succeed
the late John Thomson as Professor of Surgery in
connection with the Edinburgh Royal College of
Surgeons—a position which he filled honourably
for a considerable number of years, and in which
he gained the esteem of his students by the highly
practical character of his prelections, and by his
bland though outspoken manners. Ho was also
for a considerable period the senior operating sur-
geon of the Royal Infirmary—a position which he
held contemporaneously with the late Mr. Liston.
Of John Bell, Lizars, and Liston, it is to be re-
marked that all of them were possessed of very
masculine natures. As operators they were always
bold, but never reckless, and whilst by their intre-
pidity and skill they saved much unnecessary
pain, their forethought led them to make provision
for every emergency, and their genius to escape
from the dangers which would have startled less
skilful men.
_ _

Professor Lizars was the first to suggest, in the
year 1826, the removal of the upper maxilla in
diseases of the antrum—an operation which was
soon afterwards performed successfully by M.
Geussoul, _after the method proposed by Mr.
Lizars ; and it has since been frequently performed,
generally with the best results. He was also
among the first to expose the fallacy, long preva-
lent, and calculated to produce the most alarming
results, of cholera being contagious iu its character
—a theory now all but universally 'exploded. His
strictures on the " Treatment and Cure of Club-
foot" are very valuable, and his operations for the
disease have frequently been successful when others
have failed. He is the author of other works, and
was a contributor to several of our medical jour-
nals; but his most important work is a volume of
" Anatomical Plates," which has been favourably
received by the press and by the profession.
For a period of 30 or 40 years Mr. Lizars de-
voted an hour each day to the giving of gratuitous
advice to poor patients, and was visited annually,
on an avarage, by upwards of 2,000 persons. He
operated in all the most dangerous and difficult sur-
gical cases, from removing the femur from the
acetabulum to the tying of the arterea innomi-
nata in cases of aneurism ; and among all who knew
him he had the character of a wise, skilful, and in-
trepid operator. The medical world has lost a man
of profound practical sagacity, and who, though
not without many imperfections, possessed withal
a genial and generous nature.— atledonian Mercury.
