We deeply regret to notice the death of Sir John
Russrll Reynolds, recently President of the College of Physicians, and a specialist in nervous diseases of unusual reputation. Besides his professional skill he was a man who possessed a high character and sound judgment in all affairs; while, owing to a deep internal kindliness, he won among both his patients and the external world an unusual number of attached friends, many of whom accompanied his remains all the way to Gloucestershire. Few men have been more revered for a conscientiousness which was never narrow, and a benevolence which was never weak. He died, we believe, without positive disease, of an exhaustion of vitality, produced, there is no reason to doubt, by over-application to work in early years, and increased within the last few months by repeated and distressing attacks of influenza.
