24 Quincy St., Cambridge. Edward Gilchrist Low died in Brookline, Dec. 28, 1895. In the College Catalogues, 1855-59, the name is uniformly printed Lowe ; but his autograph, given the Secretary in 1859, is unmistakably Low, and that is the

After visiting Melbourne, he reached Shanghai in August, 1861, and joined the firm of Augustine Heard & Co. This firm failed in 1875, and the next year Low became a member of the new firm of Fearon, Low & Co. He returned to this country in 1869, and again in 1879; and in 1880 he was married to Miss J. Eleanor Motley, of Jamaica Plain. After that he went back to Shanghai, and returned to this country two years ago, suffering from throat trouble, which finally proved fatal.

Dr. Edward Wigglesworth died of apoplexy at his home in Boston, Jan. 23, 1896. In the winter of 1891 he was sent South for nervous exhaustion following arsenical poisoning and grippe, and he never regained a full measure of health. He was born in Boston, Dec. 30, 1840, and was a descendant of Edward Wigglesworth who migrated from England to this country in 1638, and whose son Michael graduated at Harvard in 1651. His son Edward graduated in 1710, and became the first Hollis Professor of Divinity, and was succeeded in that professorship by his son Edward, who graduated in 1749. The last Quinquennial Catalogue gives the names of thirteen of this family who graduated between the years 1651 and 1874 inclusive. After graduation Dr. Wigglesworth studied from September to May in the Harvard Medical School, and in September, 1862, he enlisted in the 45th Massachusetts Regiment, in which he served for nine months as hospital steward. Then he returned to the Medical School, and received his M. D. in 1865; after which he spent five years in Europe, pursuing special

studies in dermatology. He opened an office at 24 Charles St., Boston, in 1870. He sustained for five years at his own expense the Boston Dispensary for Skin Diseases, a department of philanthropy which the city ultimately undertook in connection with its general dispensary. He was for ten years, 1871-1881, lecturer on Syphilis in the Harvard Medical School; and for many years served on the staff of the Boston City Hospital; and he has been instructor in Dermatology in the Boston Polyclinic. He gathered and added to the museum of the Medical School a very valuable collection of specimens of skin diseases; gave the initial impulse to the Boston Medical Register, and to the Boston Medical Library Association; and was chairman of the meeting in Philadelphia in 1876 which organized the American Dermatological Association, of which he was vicepresident in 1879, and president in 1885. He was a member of a large number of medical societies, and for a time councilor of the Mass. Medical Society; and was deeply interested in several organizations of a public and philanthropic nature outside of his specialty, e. g., the American Metric Bureau, the Boston Society of Natural History, and the New England Cremation Society. As a "Liberal" in religious matters, he was a stanch supporter of The Index, The New Ideal, etc. His writings embrace a large number of papers published for the most part in medical journals, and relating to dermatology; but for the last ten years he has sent little to the press. Till his health began to fail, he worked with great energy and assiduity, apparently the possessor of a vigorous constitution which promised him the longevity of his ancestors; and

he secured a high rank among the most eminent physicians in his specialty. He married Mrs. Sarah Willard Frothingham, of New York city, in 1882, who survives him, with two of their three children, Henrietta Goddard, born in 1884, and Edwardthe seventh in a line of Edwards born in 1885. Their first child, Mary, born in 1883, died the next year.
