Frontiers in parathyroid physiology

Utero-Placental (Accidental) Hæmorrhage.

SINCE the publication of my “Memoir of William and John Hunter” in 1924, I have dis­ covered that the details of William’s association with the Middle­ sex and Brownlow Street Lying-in Hospitals arc inaccurately recorded. His first introduction to midwifery came to him during the two years, 1737-39, while he was Cullen’s assist­ ant in country practice at Hamilton. On his removal to London, in 1740, it was renewed under the personal super­ vision of William Smellie, with whom he found a temporary home in Pall Mall from November 1740 to AugustSeptember 1741. During the inter­ vening winter months his theoretical knowledge had been improved by attendance at the courses of Dr. Frank Nicholls which included lec­ tures on the art of midwifery, and when the summer was over, William Hunter decided that he had gleaned what he could from Smellie’s private tuition and that the time had come for him to take another step forward. There can be no doubt that the instruction he had received from Smellie was the foundation of much of his subsequent success, while the somewhat awkward and uncouth man­ ners of his teacher and fellow Scotsman had taught him a useful lesson in suggesting to him the cultivation of the more courtly bearing which sub­ sequently procured for him his ap­ pointment to Queen Charlotte. In the autumn of 1741, armed with an introduction to Dr. James Douglas, he made his way to Red Lion Square, where he was kindly received and invited to become Douglas’ anatomi­ cal assistant and tutor to his son. Short as his association with Douglas was destined to be, for James Douglas died in April 1742, the effect it pro­ duced upon William Hunter’s charac­ ter was threefold: a love of books, a zeal for anatomy and a choice of obstetrics as a means of future liveli­ hood. William Hunter had been fortu­ nate in his teachers, Cullen, Smellie, Nicholls, Douglas: all of them were remarkable men and each attained distinction in medicine, but the in­ fluence of James Douglas was prob­ ably the most far-reaching. As a bibliophile he had brought together a superb collection of the various edi­ tions of Horace, of which he published a catalogue; as an anatomist he had demonstrated Douglas’s pouch; as an obstetrician he has been immortalised by Pope:

William Hunter's Obstetrical Career.

John Martin Munro Kerr was born on December 5th, 1868, the son of a Glasgow ship owner. After his education at The Glasgow Academy, he trained in medicine at the University of Glasgow and graduated MB, CM in 1890 at 22 years of age. After junior appointments in Glasgow, he received further training at the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin, before studying in Jena and Berlin, Germany. On his return to Glasgow in 1894 he became assistant to Murdoch Cameron, Regius Professor of Midwifery at the University. From that time on his rise in the profession was rapid. In 1895, at the age of 27, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and the following year he was appointed to the staff of the Royal Maternity Hospital.1–5 In 1908 he was awarded an MD from the University of Glasgow, with high commendation for his thesis, entitled Operative Midwifery . The text of this thesis was published the same year6 and has gone through many editions since, changing its title to Operative Obstetrics 7 in 1937. In 1911 Munro Kerr became the first incumbent of the Muirhead Chair of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Glasgow. A second important publication, of which he was the main author, appeared in 1923. This work, the Combined textbook of obstetrics and gynaecology for students and medical practitioners ,8 had a powerful influence on bringing together the disciplines of obstetric medicine and gynaecological surgery and also went through many editions up to the present time. In 1927 Munro Kerr succeeded Murdoch Cameron as Regius Professor of Midwifery in the university, a post he held until his retirement in 1934. A third major publication appeared in 1933, with the title Maternal mortality and morbidity: a study of …
